Are you going to stop using your computer and the internet?

Or do you protest only when it doesnt inconvenience you?

A- None
You mean like interracial marriage?

It wasn't until the mid 1990's that just slightly more than 50% of Americans were in favor of legalizing interacial marriage. 30 years AFTER it was legalised in all states by the Supreme Court. (Not a vote by the people)

73% were against it at the time it was legalised in 1967.

What does that have to do with gay men posing in an ad, or teaching gay sex acts for that matter? They taught me how to put condoms on a penis, and I'm a female... so by your logic, they're actually teaching heterosexual sex acts in schools. Oh, and that was back in the '80s.

Do you have a problem with teaching safer sex? If so, yikes is all I can say!

Do any of you see a hetrosexual working for J.C. Penny under the headline that "Hetrosexual Men posing with their children on Father's Day"? NO, of course not. Is J.C. Penny slow on sales of men's clothing to the point where they have to go after the biggest poliitical issue out there now and put something like this out there?? Just once, I want to see a big HOORAH over someone being Hetrosexual..good grief!!
You mean like this?

Science is always "biased" to those who don't like the results... and I knew you'd say that, LOL. I rarely bother presenting well-researched studies to conservatives anymore, because this is always the reply. Always. It could be directly from the NIH, and you'd still cry bias!

My posts are based upon homosexuals that have been in my orbit, some of them very, very close, some that married into the family and some that were friends and aquaintances. They said the truths before gay militancy took over. They didn't lie to me.

Now that the political push has mostly succeeded for the gay movement, some of them are just quiet, one is militant himself and wishing to not discuss "his reality" of his twenties and younger, etc. Others yet have moved on and we are no longer in contact.

Not all gays are alike, shock shock. Some don't claim to have been born that way. If some gays insist they were born that way, fine with me. THEY do not speak for all gays. They can't.


No, no one is a liar for posting their beliefs.
You're lecturing me about gays not all being the same? Oh, that's rich.

Of course they're not all the same, but your friends who claim to be choosing their sexuality are most certainly in the minority - and likely in denial or bisexual, as nobody (and I mean nobody) can change orientation like that. You can force yourself into performing certain acts and behaviors, but humans cannot control their innate attractions. I don't need science to tell me that either, it's just common sense to anyone who's ever been sexually attracted to anyone else in their life.

It becomes a real problem when you lose touch of "the common man" in favor of oddballs and outcasts. You don't even have a leg to stand on to fight your battle. That kind of descrimination is ok. Losing my morning appetite after seeing gay lovers while thumbing through the Sunday paper that is. I think they need to feature a hetrosexual male in a shot that reminds them...MOST OF US ARE REALLY LIKE THIS!
99.99999% of ads feature heterosexuals. What are you complaining about?

Because REAL men always look at the women's bras and panties section.

Is this to check if they have them in your size and color?

LOL! I was thinking the same thing.

I'm not sure what 'burping, farting and spilling beer' has to do with being a REAL man though. Sounds more like a uncouth slob.
