I'm Gay...Conservative...So What?

[Chris]

You weren't discussing him "way before all that". You were discussing him as the lawyer on the gay marriage case, although you did ignore that he was co-counsel with Harvey Weinstein's lawyer on the case.

I was countering your stereotyping as progressive anyone who champions gay causes with a conservative.

He can thank the progressives for fostering a culture in which he can openly discuss this "footnote" about himself without being publicly ruined.

I will be your huckleberry and disagree. The gay lobbies took care of this more than the heterosexual progressives. Yes you people came along late in the game and progressed a little faster. But blatantly taking credit is HORSE HOCKEY and I cannot let you get away with it.

That said I consider myself a conservative but was ahead of most progressives I know on this issue. There are many many in my group. Just because they roll the Baptists out there for ratings doesn't mean or ever meant we all agree.

I will say there was a movement in America from both sides that were for these people not being harmed.

I have also learned there are two types of voters in the segment and one sect is prominent. The multi issue voter which is a small sector and the single issue or heavily one issue voter and that's gay rights. These people could care less about what Obama did on economics or security. As long as he rainbow'd the lights at the White House they were with him. They found a champion for their rights and they loved him. Most of those same people in my discussions with them cannot name any successes past healthcare. They tell you "they are many google them".

A huge narcissistic revisionist leap. All centered on the lefts marketing.

A true Christian would denounce being gay. And would not proclaim those actions as right. Apparrently because Christians are more tolerant of people with confused sexuality identities than other religions he seems to want to live with his views on his sleeve. He will die and that will be the end of him. Extinction is what gays believe. If they had gay parents they would not exist. So why does anyone care if he does. He makes a video to infuse some self belief that his views are valid and wholesome. Unless he leaves something tangible to mankind in a breakthrough in science or technology he will be worth nothing or not much to society and history.

Votes against his own best interests.

Of course, conservatives often do.

That is generally because they are not self centered, greedy little $#@!s who put themselves ahead of the good of the nation.

You would have a point if the highlighted statement was true. It isn't. I am not saying that you personally are anti gay, but the GOP platform most definitely is. That makes the rest of your post kinda moot.

If that is true, you should have no problem quoting the part of the GOP platform that is anti homosexual.

Prove your case.

It's called having principles and integrity, concepts alien to the average liberal gimmeecrat.

Do you have a link to the specific tenet of GOP platform that supports your contention? I won't hold my breath waiting.

The "gay lobbies" are largely progressives. I think you confuse "progressive" with "democrat" in your thinking. I have consistently held that the DNC leads from behind by riding in to steal credit at the 11th hour from grass-root progressive movements. It is part of the reason environmentalism/AGW are such a political disaster--the DNC got involved and tried to push the natural evolution of these movements in a Wall Street friendly way.
