You can tell that the "Republic" party is way too old. They are stuck in the days when blacks were slaves, women subjects for men, and homosexuals - cursed! What are they affraid of? Jim DeMint and other right-wingers with hate in their heart (What would Jesus do?) are skipping CPAC - the the largest gathering of conservatives in the country. Why? Because one of the convention sponsors, GOProud, is an organization of gay conservatives.
This reminds me of a very funny line in the movie Analyze This when Robert De Niro's character, a mob boss, tells his Psychiatrist that if he turns him "gay" he will "kill" him. Which begs the question: Can one who is without homosexual inclinations - be somehow turned gay? Can some other couple's relationship, whether inter-racial, interfaith, or homosexual, cause the destruction of heterosexual lifestyles? And finally, since they are a values crowd - did Jesus only love those who were like him - or did he have compassion and love for all.
Jesus Christ came and died to save all mankind; including all races and yes - sexual orientation. YES - gays were around even during the days when Christ preached his message of peace and love to all - from all. "Love your neighbor as yourself" and that line about "...do unto others" and similar words of tolerance are not mere words - they are lessons for how we should accept one another as we are. Even Jim DeMint.
