when will people realize that homosexuality is a normal deviation from the norm just like genius, or NBA players. I am against the homosexual agenda and the sainted status of victimhood they have acquired but I dont despise gay people. They have their own cross to bear which has included being ostracized by friends and family. the risk of losing a job. The denouncement by the religeous right, the idea that Aids is retribution and lots of other hateful bigoted ideas. Being a rational, thoughtful conservative ought to include a bit of sympathy and tolerance for others who are different. But I guess this is too much to ask from some of you. And No I am not gay, but a close family member is.

There is no rational basis to see homosexuality as normal, it is deviant sexual behavior and a trajedy for every individual and family thus afflicted.

The corruption of deviant liberal propagandists is there in your own words, "a normal deviation from the norm" is a contradiction in terms, you have defined the term "deviancy" not "normalcy" and putting the words side by side changes their meaning not one whit.

Now I agree that homosexuals have enough problems without getting dumped on, and among my friends are homosexual people, none of whom have reason to complain that I am intolerant.

I don't think that aids is divine retribution for homosexuality, and I do not believe that homosexuals should be persecuted.

I do believe that you will not get aids if you know which position to keep your zipper in, I am persuaded that anal intercourse is the main source of the spread of aids, and I do think that homosexuals would get a lot more tolerance from society if they were themselves more tolerant of the definition of normalcy.

It is so tiresome, this modern notion that people are mere flotsam, powerless to do anything more than drift about on a sea of preordained currents.

It is not a rational belief system, dare I label it the "religion of futility"?

Most conservatives have no problem with gays doing whatever it is they do in the privacy of their own homes. However, when they choose to try to force their immorality on the rest of society, the ball-game changes completely. When they try to force society to change thousands of years of tradition to accept that gay liaisons are the moral equivalent of marriage, conservative get rightfully angry. When homosexual activists try to introduce the subject to school children as young as five, conservatives will demand that they stop.

This is no longer a question of 'tolerance.' Individuals with SSAD are tolerated. This is a wholesale cultural shift supported by the media and cultural 'elites' that 80-90% of us regular folks oppose. This is a question of conservatives rising up in opposition to a radical, evangelical religion of homosexuality that can bear no criticism.
