Nobody is saying that physical violence is acceptable.

But that doesn’t mean everyone is going to celebrate a lifestyle they don’t agree with.

That is what it means to live and let live. Liberals seem to have forgotten this.

What other people do with their bodies, what they're into sexually, what clothes they wear, etc.- all that stuff is their business, and not mine.

What ever happened to this being a free country? Do conservatives not believe in that anymore?
Nope. They believe in banning books, pretending people other than white/straight don’t exist, and controlling women’s bodies. They believe the have the right to force their beliefs on all of us.

Yes - for sure. I saw a rainbow after a rainstorm last week and I was like - "F" you sky! I will never patronize the sky again!

Why should anybody be proud about how they have sex with the same sex partner?

God is not mocked. The rainbow in the sky is a covenant from God that he will not destroy mankind with rain storms.

I would explain how light/water droplets work together to create an actual rainbow, but I know that doesn't fit with your Noah's ark story. Since the world should be ending any day now - does it really matter?

If I see a "gay pen set" or something on isle 14 in the grocery store... no, I'm not going to be up in arms about that. But if I see a bunch of peacocking in the store plastered all over the place and hoopla as if we'd just come up with a cure for cancer, then yes, that store gets the middle finger from me and I will go elsewhere. I'm to the point that I'm SICK of peacocks (not the birds, the people hung up on sex-related "social causes" 24/7).


If you are old enough... remember how you cringed every time you heard Disco Duck on the radio (which was every five minutes there for awhile)? That's where I'm at with this pride crap.

That's a very good question, which has no logical answer. I'm not a homosexual, but I can say that "pride" has never been an emotion that I've felt when I've had sex. Or after. Or before. As if it's some big accomplishment like earning a PhD or something. It's a biofunction that most all higher life forms engage in. Big whoop. I'm nothing special because I've had sex or shack up with someone. Neither is anyone else. Pretty commonplace.

If I walk by 18 rainbows at target, I keep walking past it, it’s not what I came to buy. I have taken my kids n grands to stores 100000+ times and we walk past the wine n beer section, the electronics and go look for what we came for.
How hard is that ???

That wouldn’t be a problem for me.

But if I walk into a store and immediately see rainbow stuff everywhere, then I’m turning around and heading back out the door.

I’m interested in see more red, white and blue than rainbow.
