Some conservatives are anti gay all the way. Some conservatives think gay is a disease that can be cured. That's old thinking, but some still hold those views.

That's not the media--that's the reality of what has happened. If you're trying to ban something, it would logically follow that you are against it.<BR/><BR/>The religious/social conservative wing of the GOP bears more Anthony Palmer, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00043374303541804437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518523519497445289.post-2024504763364312152008-04-30T18:42:00.000-04:002008-04-30T18:42:00.000-04:00DB, I disagree, I think you can't have your cake a...DB, I disagree, I think you can't have your cake and eat it too...if you want no governmental intervention then the government should have no interference and that includes money. I am not arguing tax money from non-agreeing pro-lifers, I am saying laissaz faire all the way, stay out all together.

I actually support gay marriage (something I expect I'll write about one of these days). The problem with leaving the choice up to individual states in my book is that marriage rights might not necessarily follow a gay couple who had to transfer from one state to another.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I think you are right on in Khaki Elephanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042470098012648139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-518523519497445289.post-48416176407047583022008-04-27T22:57:00.000-04:002008-04-27T22:57:00.000-04:00I think it is wrong to generalize conservatives as...I think it is wrong to generalize conservatives as being anti-gay based on this stance. However, Christian Conservatives not only speak out against gay marriage but attack the gay lifestyle itself.<BR/><BR/>I don't even know why this matters.

I am against gay marriage and it is for religious beliefs. We believe that all children born on this earth should have the right to be born into a family the way God created it. A mom and a dad. I do not believe that a gay couple should be able to adopt a child just because they biologically can not create one. This belief may impose on Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506161645223765063noreply@blogger.com
