My Fellow Americans

myfellowamericans1.jpgmyfellowamericans2.jpgmyfellowamericans3.jpg

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you to just a few of my fellow conservative-homosexual bloggers and columnists (for those who insist that I must be a freakish anomaly). Please take the opportunity to acquaint yourself with their various shapes, sizes, influences and attitudes, of which you'll find a refreshing variety. I've included short quotes with links to their relevant postings and articles.

Lavender But Not Pink:
"Democrats like to pretend to be gay-friendly, but they rarely come through on their promises to us. Their whole tactic with us is, "You don't want one of those horrible Republicans to get elected, do you?" They take us for granted and rarely do anything for us. Republican politicians are perceived as less gay-friendly, but this is chiefly because they only make promises they intend to honor."

"Dr. Laura Schlessinger was demonized and threatened for stating that people who have AIDS or are HIV+ should not have sex, a statement which I considered as obvious as that when I have a cold, I shouldn't take a sip from my friend's can of Pepsi."

"The majority of Americans, crossing party lines, are not in favor of gay marriage at this time. Though that didn't stop a liberal blogger whose site I visited recently from making the sweeping assertion that "the Bush administration has disregarded the call for gay marriage." No, it just recognized that the call for no gay marriage was larger. Also, some of you may recall that the Clinton administration "ignored" that call too."

Steve Yuhas:
"If gays believe that the line between gay marriage and heterosexual marriage is arbitrary and baseless, why then should there be any line at all? Either society has a right to set limits and standards on marriage or it doesn't. I think it does, and I think that the line should be drawn where it always has been: and that is to say that marriage is a heterosexual institution."

"Gay pride in San Diego and other major American cities is the one weekend where all the eyes of the media are trained on gay folks, and they take every opportunity to summon every stereotype that they demand straight America dismiss and conduct themselves in a way inconsistent with every public decency law on the books."

"A cursory search reveals what anyone with an ounce of common sense could figure out – the typical suspects (gays, pro-abortion, anti-Catholic Catholics) hate Benedict XVI and the rest of the faithful loves him for defending their faith . . . Nobody forces grown men and women to be members of a particular faith and if you don’t like your faith leave it, but why demand a faith change when it is you who are violating doctrine?"

Gay Patriot West:
"So often do those on the left brand us gay conservatives "self-loathing" that it seems to be the "default" reaction of liberals to a gay person who does not fit into the liberal view of what a gay person should be. In reality, all they're doing is fixing a label on something they refuse to understand."

"Too many gay activists and leaders, it seems, have failed to ask themselves what they, through their activism and lobbying, ultimately seek to accomplish . . . gay leaders should focus on the "vision thing," what they, through their activism, ultimately seek to accomplish. As they do that, they will see how good things really are for us, how far we have come and understand how close we are to fully realizing that vision."

"Once again, we confront the narrow-mindedness of certain partisan Democrats who refuse to understand gay Republicans. Clinton's smear confirms the point I made in my most recent (substantive) post, that conservatives "are stigmatized by many on the left who assume that being a part of some minority, be it one of race, religion or sexual orientation requires one to adopt the principles of contemporary American liberalism."

Queer Conservative:
"I'm a former Democrat that can no longer deal with or ignore the idiocy of the left, and who is also worried about far right drift of the republicans. Let's DO SOMETHING!"

"Ann Coulter is right - we should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity, or Buddhism, or Zoroastrianism, or anything other than what they believe in now. Their peaceful beliefs are killing us!"

"American's rarely absorb an idea or philosophy from another culture without giving it a uniquely American spin. I can see it now . . . an Islam changed from the inside out; dragged kicking and screaming a full four centuries into the future. An islamic American superpower standing against fuedalism, theocracy, and totalitarianism. A female president leading the charge. Wouldn't that make the Ayatollah role over in his grave."

"You don't want one of those horrible Republicans to get elected, do you?"

And DeLay has been a good friend?

My Dad always said, "If you can't find someone good to vote for, vote for who you dislike less."

There are alternatives to voting Republican you know, just because you don't like the Democrats, is NO reason to turn to the Republicans.

I've always thought America could use a strong third party.

SRA may be a little zealous, but she's totally right about the strength brought on by extra parties. I dream of the day where moderates could by accepted into the mainstream

Umm, any anti-gay discrimination, pro-civil union or pro-gay marriage bill is 100% likely to be originated by and almost as likely to be supported by a Democrat. Is "Lavender But Not Pink" living on the same planet as I am?

Well, of course she's living on the same planet as you are -- she's just smarter than you and recognizes pandering when she sees it.
