Mike Pence's nonexistent homophobia
Washington Examiner ^ | 12 Apr 2019 | Karol Markowicz

Posted on 04/12/2019 10:08:47 AM PDT by Rummyfan

oes Vice President Mike Pence care about your sexuality? And will the Left and the media ever get over it if the answer is no?

During a speech a few days ago to the LGBTQ Victory Fund, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg said “If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade. And that's the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand. That if you got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me — your quarrel, sir, is with my creator."

Buttigieg was lauded for really taking the argument to Pence.

he comments were made in response to Pence’s recent comments ... oh, that’s right, there were no Pence comments. In fact, the two seemed to have a very pleasant relationship while both served the people of Indiana, Buttigieg as mayor of South Bend and Pence as governor.

The Real Truth doesn’t matter anymore- people are exchanging the truth for lies these days- the left and msm now control the narrative- if they say pence is a homophobe, then that is the ‘New Truth’ as dictated by the left- the msm will now run this false claim 24/7 until most everyone who watches their fake news believes it- just like has happened with the ‘climate change’ issue-

The left are despicable- tools of the father of lies- Satan

Buttigieg is trying to make his homosexuality an issue between himself and Pence.

Buttigieg needs to check that. His issue is between himself and God.

My guess is that Buttigieg has a Bible. I suggest he read it.

The new Mantra, disagree with a Leftist and you are a Hater.

No difference of Opinion, no Tolerance and no Free Speech.

Pure Orwellian, but it is lost on them.

From the statements made by VP Pence earlier about his relationship with Buttgeig actually shows absolutely NO homophobic attitude...Pence’s staements show just the opposite, yet you won’t ever hear those words except on a conservative site...

The MSM will NOT say or print the statements because they show the absurdity of MSM and Buttgeig’s remarks...

Even using the word “homophobia” is a victory for the left because it normalizes the idea that any opposition to homosexuality is an irrational fear tantamount to mental illness. Notice that the left has coined words like “homophobia” and “Islamophobia” and “transphobia,” but there is no such word as “Christophobia.” (The spell-check feature used by this site treats Christophobia as a misspelling or non-existent word, which it does not do with the other three words.)

No, Pete; your quarrel is with your Creator. His Word calls homosexuality a sin. Argue with Him and leave Mike Pence alone.

This all started in 1964 and has finally reached an absurd crescendo.

It’s very simple to prove that sexuality of course is a choice

In their 70 to 90 years here on this rock everybody has seen many a person change from X to YITZ back to Xpect Y back to a

I.e. I’m straight this week bi next week so on and so forth

And the fundamental basic simple truth is if you decide to pet someone else or have sex with them that in itself is a choice

I think almost everyone on the planet accept gay or lesbian people or even freaks as long as they just do their thing and mind their own business

What really irks us conservatives is the attacks , the nonsensical , unfathomable , and unfair attacks on people of faith We’re just minding their own business doing their own thing

And now of course do you see any of these activists getting up in arms about Brunei?

There’s a place that says they’re going to execute you if you’re caught doing homosexual behavior

When I take your big protest caravan there?

“Homophobia” is such a huge lie of the proggies.

It’s not phobia, it’s simple dislike up to disgust. I’m not vomitphobic, I just don’t like vomit or want it near me.

Choice or not is besides the point of this article, if anyone read it. The bottom line is that Pence is NOT a homophobe, and treats gays like regular people. The entire thing is another false narrative that the left gets to create and promulgate unchallenged.

As Glen Reynolds said, if Mike Pence is not a homophobe, then Buttplug is just another mayor from the midWest.

I think it’s called “judging others by yourself.”

If you can’t conceive of being polite and civil to people you disagree with and of treating them like human beings, you can’t believe other people can do it, either.

I can disagree with someone’s lifestyle and still treat that person like a human. I think lots of people can do that, and it’s not being hypocritical, it’s being adult.

Projection. Pence doesn't have a problem with his Creator about Buttigieg's homosexuality, Buttigieg does.

V.P. Pence isn't the one living choosing to live in a homosexual relationship, Buttigieg is.

We all have our sins and we all wage our battles against them. Buttigieg no longer wages war against his sin, he's fully embraced it and lives in open rebellion to God.

That's between him and God. Pence has ZERO to do with it.

Having homosexual attractions...for some is mis-programming (prominently including those victims of sexual abuse) and for others an outgrowth of hedonism. At most, 10% might plausibly have a genetic basis.

Doing gay things? That’s all choice.

Homophobia itself is non-existent, an ersatz term: literally, irrational fear of same - nonsense.

Homoerotic persons are seeking aggressively to destroy parental authority and Biblical Christianity. They are neither moral nor benign.

Some indeed harbor a visceral hatred for such, and I do not affirm such hatred, but the propaganda that they are normal and healthy and loving, and just want peaceful coexistence, is a Big Lie, and the fear of their growing influence in society is entirely rational and justified.
