Some might ask whether there IS such a thing as a "Conservative gay".
I believe that there is.
Homosexuality, at this moment in time, based on all scientific evidence available, is a behavioral choice.
Homosexuality, as a choice, is not inherently non-Conservative.
Conservatism, I'll remind you, is all about choice. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is lying.
Choice, BUT with two requirements:
1. In making that choice, the chooser assumes ALL consequences and responsibilities of that choice.
2. In making that choice, the chooser may not violate the rights of another person. If the choice causes another's rights to be violate, then that choice cannot be made.
With these two principles in mind, homosexuality is perfectly Conservative.
The misperception and outright lies (usually from the Left and, unfortunately, all-too-often from the Right) happen when homosexuals, in living out their choice, do NOT follow these principles; instead deciding that society must be required to assume the responsibilities and consequences of their choice and that they are free to violate the rights of others in the exercising of their choice.
For instance:
- "Gay Marriage". Homosexual unions can never be called "marriage", simply because, by definition, marriage is between one man and one woman. Period. A consequence of homosexual choice is that that union cannot be properly called "marriage".
- "Gay rights". Because of their chosen circumstance (homosexuality), some homosexuals have decided that, by virtue of their choice, they should be granted rights that do not exist for other groups.
These are only two examples.
And, NEITHER are Conservative positions.
So, with respect to the Phil (no pun intended) thing, any homosexual who does NOT agree that Phil was simply exercising his rights under the Constitution, ISN'T "Conservative". Period.
THAT homosexual is a Liberal.
Hirota: out.
