There are smiling bank robbers who treat everyone they rob with some measure of outward respect...they are still as immoral as the ones who curse the people they rob and cuff them with their handgun.
The Founding Fathers you speak of were, for the most part, virtuous and moral men whose morality was based on Christian principles. They would have probably flogged openly homsexual individuals amongst them because they took the teachings seriously...not because they hated the individual, but because they were wise enough to recogonize what certain life-styles and behavior patterns do to individuals and societies.
The fact is, gay life styles tear down the traditional chrsitian moral standard amongst us, the family, and the society. In addition, they are unbelievable dangerous to the people who participate in them. Any serious study of the health consequences asscoiated with that life-style will bear this out. And, though I do not know of official studies that bear this out, I do know of friends on the police force in various cities who tell me that among the worst crime they come across on a genral basis, delving into out and out mayhem, come out of that community.
So, for me, this issue along with abortion and a two or three others like immigration, gun control, and national defense are all single issue for me. An individual for whom I vote will have to get them all right. All are indespensable to our contiunued prosperity, peace, and liberty and I will vote accordingly.
I do not have to be hateful to make these pronouncements or statements, but I am wholly committed to them and firm in these convictions.
But you can disagree with homosexuality without deliberately setting off their worse fears. My point is, many of them could be induced to vote for the same person you vote for, if they were not afraid that our hostility to them will be detrimental to their well-being if the candidate of our choice were in power.
I know about the health consequences for gay men, especially the promiscuous ones: infections from bacteria found in the anal regions, AIDS, other STDs, "gay bowel syndrome." What are the health consequences like for lesbians? (Their shenanigans don't typically involve the anus, as far as I know.)
