South Carolina is so gay!

[Goofball]

Because of people such as yourself. Unfortunately, when making vacation plans they have to factor in things such as whether the population of their destination will question their normalness. Who wants to go somewhere to relax in a hostile environment?

The whole gay issue is an embarrassing blight on modern conservative ideology. It completely ignores libertarianism in sake of a "moral majority" and religious pandering. The best part is that its all based off of the same old testament writings that approve of slavery and forbid eating pork, among other fun codes Christians tend to ignore. If certain groups of Christians had an understanding of the bible as a whole, not just specific passages, I find it hard to believe they would be able to reconcile the teachings of Christ with the current treatment of gay people in that community. It constantly astounds me that the people who hold Jesus above all else are reliably the most openly hate filled group of people in this country. (This is, of course, not directed at all Christians.)

1.There have always been gay people.
2.There will always be gay people.
3.You cannot become gay. Social acceptance of it will not increase or decrease homosexuality.

The sooner we on the Right stop making this an issue, the sooner it will cease to be an issue. There is so many more important things to concern ourselves with.

An eminently pragmatic and refreshingly practical position.

I understand that the Republican party has to pander to the rednecks and hicks among us, just like the Democrats have to go after the inner city ghetto losers with welfare promises; but I for one don’t want to be associated with the lowest common denominator.

It's a freaking shame, isn't it? That is the inherent drawback of democracy. The LCD has a lot of pull. A guy who didn't complete grade 8, has never had a job, and has never spent 5 minutes thinking (let alone reading) about the issues, has just as much say in politics as you or I do.
