Sure. I'll tell him you're a Mary while I'm at it. I'd love to gauge his reaction. And you still have yet to answer my question.

I honestly REALLY REALLY do like you when you are not shooting off at the mouth!

But I'm just not even going to comment on the crap I just read above.

Then he is hypocrite if he is in the union. Also, Rush is hardly a conservative, but he is a hypocrite on many levels what with his drug use and pushing and his acceptance of the ACLU's help to keep him out of the same jail he pushed for others less fortunate to go to. Nice :rolleyes:

My dad would probably disown me...:distress: Sad but true...at least at first.

What questions is that.

I would probably be kicked out dear...

Its true. Who do you think beat and killed Matthew Shepard? Do you think that was done by free thinking people. What about that poor boy they dragged to death I think while on fire in Texas? Do you think free thinking people did that? No, it was people like those in the R party now. The sad thing is you know I am correct but are too stubborn to admit it.

The republicans...it was all our fault! :rolleyes:

Two thugs beat a poor boy to death and it's my party's fault! :distress:

That is unfortunate. But, welcome to the world of being gay - and the longer you want to keep the R's in power, the more in the closet you will have to be lest you go to jail for having sex.

I suppose I should be grateful that my mother doesn't care who I sleep with and loves them as much as she loves me.

Does your father work at a police precinct as a detective? If so, he's a union member.

Well, when you have the so called Christian leaders of our country saying everyday that gay people are Satan incarnate and many of them advocating violence against them, it is a small leap to see where these hoods got their ideas from :shrug:

With all due respect, your party fosters those types of attitudes. Jesse Helms is one of the heroes of your party.

So because specific groups are close-minded I have to sacrifice my other social and economical beliefs...that is unfair.

But I take that back, I don't think I would be kicked out! There would be tears, a huge fight and disappointment for a while...but I think it would pass in time. I have plans of coming out to my immediate family until I move FAR away!

How long is "a while"? There's always this exchange from February:

We don't foster a "kill all gays" attitude. They just think that a marriage should be between a man and a woman...I don't see a subliminal "kill all gays" message in that.

Trust me; I get what you are trying to say. But why should I have to compromise my other political beliefs all for the sake of one difference of opinion.

Ahhh - but those ideals really are not the R party now in its present state are they. What has W done to achieve your goals and, whether you care to admit it, W and his ilk are the new R party. So, join them or get out because they do not want your kind at all. If you do not believe me, just read the Solicitor's and Amicus Briefs in the Lawrence decision. They will shock you.
