The Taliban was a bunch of homos I heard that in the Arab world where they don't see women generally its pretty rampant.

Hmmm. Yeah, I read that Kandahar was the San Francisco of the muslim world. But the Talis were about as harsh as you can get...and they're just one example of many, many extremely anti-homo regimes throughout history that in spite of draconian efforts--utterly failed to stamp out homosexuality.

My point here is more that, hey, conservatives may not like homosexuality, and we don't have to, but why oppose those homosexuals who are ideologically (for the most part) on our side? If we insist on perfect allegiance to every conservative ideal, we are no better than the leftists who tolerate no dissenting VIEWS within their ranks, and who sanctimoniously look down upon those 'less ideologically pure' as 'reactionaries', or worse, enemies. Conservatives ought to rise above sectarian squabbles and accept people willing to support a break from the left. Even if we don't like what they do in the privacy of their own homes.
