They will start to change their mind when they get married and have a stable career.

When I was a college student, I loved socialism. However, I do not like it so much when I have a real job and pay taxes.
When I was young I didn't pay attention too much to politics. In fact, the first time I voted I voted republican simply because my dad did. Then I got older, became more aware & realized how wrong & out of touch republicans are. I wised up.

You should also include any pastors or Christians that have tattoos, ever worn poly/cotton or wool blend clothing, shaved their beards or eaten at a Red Lobster.

That is a very odd thing to say....on so many levels.

Doubtful. Hitler being that the POS that he was, would more than likely have had gay people killed too.

It's basically what Winston Churchill said:

"If you're not a liberal when you're young and 20 you have no heart, if you're not a conservative when you're old and 40 then you have no brain. "

Yep. You would think that pastors and priests would stand outside the church and pelt the non-virgin bride with rocks until she's dead, but Noooooooo!
Cherry-picking hypocrites!

Except he didn't.

Quotes Falsely Attributed

Good chance, though, it was some other Brit who was equally known to spout off after 8 fingers of Glenlivet. Just someone not as famous.

Seriously dude?
Red Guards were very progressive and hated old values.
My father was a Red Guard too. He is a very nice person.

One thing some Red Guards did is to destroy the Grand Confucius Temple, which had never been destroyed in 2000 years, even not by barbaric Mongols.

The red guard was a paramilitary movement that looked to stamp out old ways.

If youth were looking to supplant heterosexual marriage with homosexual marriage you would have maybe even a SLIGHT parallel to draw.


But since that is not the case AT ALL, then your concern trolling is noted. Thank you.
