That's how I see our efforts here on FreeRepublic - getting the truth out about the risks. Unfortunately it appears some of our fellow freepers want to stop us from doing exactly what the documentary is trying to do. - scripter, post 7.

I don't see why you feel a need to "get the truth out" here. With the exception of a few FR-"gay thread" regulars, (madg comes to mind) most FReepers are against homosexuality. So you're preaching to the choir, from a moral standpoint.

Is your intent with these threads to get people motivated to make homosexuality illegal? With all due respect, I cannot imagine a more futile goal! I've asked these questions on other "gay" threads and I'll ask them again: Do you think we should make homosexuality illegal? If so, how can we enforce this law? Are you, scripter or you Remedy going to volunteer for the first "anti-gay task force"? If you do envision some kind of special "sex-police", how do you think they should enforce these laws? Should people's homes be bugged (with video cameras) to make sure they're having the "right kind" of sex?

I hope you can see where I'm going with this, and don't react negatively to my criticism. I hope you take it to heart. Obviously you two have abilities that could be used elsewhere, to further the conservative agenda where we need it most, AND, where it has the most resonable chance of success! (anti-smoking laws come to mind....fight those on the grounds of personal property....or perhaps income taxes....fight those on the grounds that they're simply against the desires of the founding fathers!) Or, maybe take these kind of threads to the DUmmies, where these kinds of messages NEED to be heard (about homosexuality being a dirty lifestyle). I can see no value in taking that message here though.

The moral argument is already WON here (on FR), for the most part. If your intention is to push to make it illegal, then that is merely an excercise in futility, not to mention foolishness.

And Remedy, I don't want to see any more posts on the "statistics" of the diseases that homosexuality spreads, you don't have to convince me its a dirty lifestyle.....but the entire argument that you seem to want to push is, "Homosexuality spreads disease to people at large, and that's why it should be outlawed!" So then I would ask, "Then you not only want to outlaw homosexuality, but also any HETERO-sexual contact OUTSIDE of marriage, DON'T you? Isn't that the logical direction and conclusion to your argument of 'it's for the public good', scripter and Remedy?"

I believe it is, and hopefully this demonstrates the foolishness of such a goal. Quit wasting your talents on this; it's an impossible goal to reach, if only because it relies on a slope that's entirely too slipery.
