Conservatives Support Gays Too!

 As the world seems to be crumbling down around us, should gay rights be in the forefront of discussions in the government right now.  Obviously not.  But I do think it deserves a bit of lip service. The liberal media, the descriptor "liberal" seems redundant at this point, continues to persuade Americans that conservatives hate gays.  You, however, may want to educate yourself about who actually is a friend to the gays when push comes to shove.

  Libertarians believe in the America our Founding Fathers created.  They believe in a small government that has no right to get involved in the daily lives of the people that fund and ultimately control it.  Personal liberties are essential to a successful nation and Libertarians understand this.  Further, many independents are conservative in their beliefs about small government.  And, believe it or not, most of these libertarian/independent/conservatives feel that government has no right or authority to control what person you are allowed to marry.  That's right, many conservatives may not personally agree with the gay lifestyle, but they do not believe that government has the right to ban gay marriage.  They also recognized that with homosexuals consisting of only about 2% of Americans, it has no effect on their own life.

 I don't jump on the bandwagon that believes a gay and straight relationship are the "same" thing.  Men and women together is the only way to create human life.  There is no denying this.  Whatever you take away from that fact is for you, but there is a special difference.  Therefore, I don't believe that all relationships are the "same."  Women and men can be equal, but let's be honest, we are not the "same."  Besides, marriage is a union created by the Church. Liberal gays love to bash Christianity and religion, yet desire nothing more than to have their relationships considered the same as one created for religious purposes? They may want to rethink this argument.

 I do, however, believe that the love you have for someone is the same regardless of your sexual preference.  I also believe that government has no business getting involved in the daily lives of its citizens regarding such personal decisions.  We can never make every single person in this country believe in gay marriage.  That is the beauty of this country, we are allowed to voice our different opinions as we are each a unique individual.  We should never attempt to change that, and those who do partake in losing game.  All we can do is make sure that government does not engage in or condone this type of discrimination. 

 Some, like Rosie O'Donnell, say that radical Christians are just as much of a threat to her as radical Muslims. Oh really, why don't you try living in a country run by Muslims as an outed homosexual.  You will quickly find out that this is not possible as homosexuality is grounds for your execution in Muslim countries.  Not so bad being gay in America is it?  I'm not saying that we don't have lunatics that hate gays, but what we don't have is a government that condones it. 

  Let's hope one day all people, regardless of sexual preference, can have their relationships protected and recognized in America.  Let's also be honest about who exactly it is that threatens gay rights.  Remember, America is about equal opportunity, not equal results.
