There is no such thing as a sexual orientation, just sexual sin. Sex before marriage, divorce, homosexuality, adultery are all sexual sins. All will put you in hell. I have no idea where you got ethnic from, but no, being Chinese does not send you to hell. False religion worship absolutely is the same as sexual sin, probably even more serious, atheists, Mormons, and Jews (not the messianic ones) will be in the exact same place as homosexuals.

I don't have a clue where you are coming from, but this still isn't a site for homosexualism.

Again, homosexuality absent any political agenda, is just a sin, like all the other categories mentioned above.

Once they start talking about it, it IS a political agenda. If it wasn't part of their agenda, they wouldn't tell anyone.

I do not understand any criteria by which a homosexual is banned just for saying he is a homosexual, but a fornicator, or divorcee, or atheist, or Jew is not.

The fact that YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND why Free Republic opposes the homosexual agenda is very evident.

Free Republic needs less inquisitors and more Christians.

Free Republic is for conservatives and needs to be rid of trolls.

I have seen posts in which the poster reveals such things as “I am an atheist, but I think they aren’t very friendly.” Honestly, though, atheism is not compatible with conservatism.

Arizona revealed (yesterday?) that she is a lesbian. I forget the exact words, but it boiled down to ‘I’m a lesbian but I am conservative and believe in low taxes, guns, etc.’

The problem with such a position is that it normalizes acceptance and approval of the behavior if allowed to slide. Arizona revealed some kind of partner (did she say she is married?) and that the relationship has children involved.

The eventual message: “Oh, she’s our resident lesbian with SigOther and Kids. Don’t mind her she’s a conservative.”

The problem with that is we contend that conservatism is about preserving esteemed processes and values from the past. We want to preserve natural marriage, we want to preserve healthy relationships. Therefore, a TOTAL conservative cannot advocate homosexuality.

And, even if ‘accepted in silence’ that accepted presence is itself an advocacy of that which we believe is detrimental to treasured vital values about a wholesome culture.

Wagglebee,

You have put on an excellent exposition on how to deal with/discuss this issue with those who are either honestly lost in the issue at hand or are purposefully choosing evil.

Thank you very much.
