Gays For Ron Paul?

[Ozwest]

ChairmanMao,

I've got the acceptance bit down, but introducing oneself on a gay/mormon website is beyond my capabilities.

Any takers?

 

[Ozwest]

Huh, that is interesting, the look of the word would cause one to think it would be singular.

Can't wait to work it into my next conversation. hehe

 

[AlexMerced]

I contacted the gay mormon site and explained them why it might be a good idea to contact them for apossible interview, and explained them RP's stance Gay Marriage/Military issues.

I'm not gay for Ron Paul but I'm quite cheerful about him in a manly and platonic way.

brokeback mountaineers 4 RP?

 

[AlexMerced]

I'm not gay, but I'd love to find a woman like Ron Paul, but maybe younger

 

[Ozwest]

Stop it. You're breaking me up!

 

[akovacs]

My friend is gay and is a Paul supporter. He said he would normally consider himself Republican but Bush and the current crop of religious theocrats made him run away a long time ago.

Low hanging fruit http://www.affirmation.org/ its a gay mormon website.

Are we allowed to use "low hanging fruit" in reference to a gay Mormon website? LOL.

The nannystaters have passed laws against it, I'm sure, having taken time out from their busy schedule of voting to perpetrate war crimes against non-nuclear Iran. It's for the children, you see.

Someone suggested Justin Raimondo to head up this reacharound...ahem...outreach effort to gays. I think he'd be an outstanding pick if you could convince him.

Then there's Alan Simpson, retired Republican senator from Wyoming who spends a lot of his time frolicking about with the Log Cabin Republicans. I tend to think they'll go for Giuliani.

If nothing else, start a group called WeAreNotGayForRonPaul.com and get Larry Craig to head the effort. Sounds like toetapping fun to me.

I like to fondle low-hanging fruit.

Ron Paul is strongly for federally legalizing gay marriage, a lot of the dems are only for civil unions.

I think it's more accurate to say he doesn't favor amending the Constitution over definitions of marriage. I would be very surprised if he believes the Court should be allowed to issue any rulings in support of gay marriage in the way that the Court overturned miscegenation laws. Generally speaking, he's quite federalist on such issues and he's not very politically correct about these causes.

I would hazard a guess that RP opposes it personally in Texas if it is on the ballot there. But he might surprise me.

Dude, you are way off on your understanding of Dr. Paul's stance on gay marriage!!!

He has said it himself that he believes in his opinion that there is a biological disposition toward being homosexual. Under no circumstances should they be discriminated against. Marriage is not a religious, federal, or state issue. Instead it is a social construct that should be dealt with at the local level. Simply put- marriage has no business in courts (at any level) period!!!

I've read a lot of his speeches over the last ten years and I don't recall that. Do you have a source? I am surprised he would indicate a biological cause because there has never been any evidence asserted for it that survived peer review. Worse yet, if it is biological, it could be declared or considered a birth defect which might be tested for prenatally and then you could add unborn children suspected of innate homosexual tendencies to all the other babies murdered by abortion.

Don't be quite so quick to think that the argument for biological causes is either medically proven or that it is even a desirable grounds by which you justify homosexual behavior.

Please provide some quotes or writings by Dr. Paul on the subject.

tooconservative... maybe he was refering to this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIeW0DY64bE Paul does not say those exact words but clearly suggests it... Hope it helps.

ron paul believes gay marriage is a religious/personal institution. he says the government only started keeping record of marriages for health purposes. he doesn't believe it is a federal or state issue. its an issue of religious and personal freedom

 

[SeanEdwards]

Get that guy Andrew Sullivan to be a face for the group. He's an openly gay media character who has written positive stuff about Paul.

Disappointing

All of these posts, and not one person worked in a Seinfeld, "not that there's anything wrong with that."

<gratuitous bump>

If it's ever isolated down to a testable few genes, then what you describe is inevitable, at least in some circles. People all over the world are selecting offspring through IVF techniques to exclude certain genes, or choose gender.

I heard somewhere about some conservative religious fellows getting all excited about the possibility of being able to make sure they didn't produce gay offspring.

But people already do this kind of thing all the time. They make choices for their children and mold them to an ideal, at least to some extent. It seems weird, but I tend to think that as long as all the control stays in the hands of the parents, then for the most part things will work out ok. Though there can certainly be some rough spots along the way. There's apparently quite a crisis in parts of the world now because families are preferring to produce male chidlren instead of female, and technology is giving them the power to choose.

That's exactly right. Marriage has no place in the government, heterosexual or homosexual. And just to say, I'm a full supporter of gay rights.
