Your opinion. Mine is that this type of function does condone the behavior, gay, straight, necrophilia, or zoophilia (which by the way, is not outlawed in some countries). And where is it written that if someone does not agree with your views on homosexuality that they are filled with hate? Should we accept it all “no matter what their sexuality”? Talk about judgmental. You should get over that.

You're making some fascinating connections here... So, on the one hand, you SEEM to believe that America is and should be part of "the free world", but on the other hand you are making comparisons to a dictatorship like China as a morally superior example? And not only China; if you think the Weimar Republic was degenerate, do you also support the idea of the forces that defeated it? And lastly, the conference at The Double Tree is a vehicle for foreign subversive elements?

Lol - you obviously don't know your history if you describe Weimar Germany as "free and easy". It was a miserable society that gave birth to the Nazis. The Brown Shirts were formed by a homosexual named Ernst Röhm. William Shirer wrote in "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich," that not only was Roehm "important in the rise of Hitler," but also "like so many of the early Nazis, (he was) a homosexual."

Röhm more than anyone brought Hitler to power:

Under Röhm, the SA also often took the side of workers in strikes and other labour disputes, attacking strikebreakers and supporting picket lines. SA intimidation contributed to the rise of the Nazis, breaking down the electoral activity of the left-wing parties. However, the SA's reputation for street violence and heavy drinking was a hindrance .

Another hindrance was the more or less open homosexuality of Röhm and other SA leaders .. the Münchener Post, a Social Democratic newspaper, obtained and published Röhm's letters to a friend in which Röhm discussed his sexual affairs with men..

Hitler only had Röhm killed when he wanted to merge the SA with the regular German army:

"This horrified the army, with its traditions going back to Frederick the Great. The army officer corps viewed the SA as a brawling mob of undisciplined street fighters and were also concerned by the pervasiveness of homosexuality and "corrupt morals" within the ranks of the SA"

Jill, the Weimar Republic was Germany's first real democratic form of government. It managed to survive hyperinflation and postwar economic crisis, bloom for a few years in the late 20's only to come undone by the shockwaves of the Great Depression and following civil unrest. Homosexuality really played no part for or against the forming of the Third Reich, but proved a useful excuse for Hitler when the time came to get rid of any potential rivals for power.

@Jill, So you're spouting the same nonsense that was believed by the killer of over 70 children in Norway just earlier this year? That "Cultural Marxists" were going to "bring down" Western civilization?

I also bet that you believe in the "elimination" of these "Cultural Marxists" as a threat, not just locked up in prison.

This is why I pity social conservatives like yourself. Your type of conservatism is self-contradictory and inciteful, whereby any and all sort of aberration from your idealized America is evil and should be prevented by whatever means necessary.

You pine for the good old days when gays and lesbians were out of sight and locked up in jail where they belonged. When African-Americans and other minorities "knew their place" and did not reside for long in the white side of town past sundown, lest they're tempted to rape and "eyeball" "loose" white girls. When Jews, Mormons and Catholics (oh, I mean "Papists") knew to stick to their own "kind" and never pursue an education or participate in politics lest folks like you caught on to their evil pro-Jewish or pro-Vatican or pro-Mason agenda to "bring this good country down" and "mess with our country's moral fiber". When women, like yourself, knew their place and stayed at home and in the kitchen.

All of them are just asking to get lynched if they stepped "out of line", you know?

Harry Underwood - Jerry Sandusky would like seeing kids made into genderqueer allies. Obvioulsy you hate conservatives and religious people so spare the fatuous hand wringing. You should also stop comparing rejection of a sexual behavior with tribulations over black skin color. Most black people find it offensive even if white liberals don't

@Jill as if you would know. I am also Black and gay, so spare ME your hand-wringing about how most Black people differ from White liberals.

Also, Jerry Sandusky was married with two children. How would he have felt shame about his homosexuality if he never slept with a man for the last decade? If he is gay and closeted, there is a Queer Student Center on the Penn State campus, operated by open homosexuals, that provides counseling in coming out of the closet. He could have done that years ago and come to terms with his alleged homosexuality, but he apparently didn't feel the need to come out.

There are no men coming out saying that he had committed adultery with them, and no rumor thereof, not even at this most vulnerable time where he is facing life in prison without parole. Adult gay men can out him NOW, but no one has come forth. Only children are outing him as a pedophile with a loathsome personality.

Therefore, how could he be gay? No one is saying such. No one is implying such except for people with obsessive personalities like yourself.

Oh and no, I will not stop comparing your spurious and specious demonization of consensual love between adults to the most stupid and murderous social-conservative bigotries. Your religion is of no consequence to me, as I would say all that I have said to anyone of any religious affiliation or superstitious persuasion who holds the same doctrine as yourself.

I reiterate: No sympathy.

@Jill (contd.) I cannot sympathize with your position. Sympathizing with it is like sympathizing with Osama bin Laden for his attempt to destroy the "corrupt", "morally-degenerate", "Satanic", "narcissistic", "puerile", "filthy", "idolatrous", "conspiring" Western world. Same M.O., same concerns, same objectives, same solutions, same results.

I cannot sympathize with your position because it is hindering to liberty. I cannot sympathize with your position because it justifies violence against those who live and work in this society. I cannot sympathize with your position because it is not beneficial to, and is detractive from, the life of any American, even yourself.

I do not believe that your affiliated organization, Concerned Women of America, has the best interests of all law-abiding and upstanding Americans in its repertoire of goals and actions. In fact, the M.O. of CWA does not respect the intelligence of any American citizen.

Therefore, I reject your argument. More power to PrideWorks, GLSEN and all that they do this year and all years upcoming.

Lol - you've lost me Harry. I understand being compared to Osama for not wanting to teach kiddies to be genderqueer allies - but I have no clue what you're on about with your Concerned Women spiel. You're own hate issues make you quite the character. I'm sure you hate the Boy Scouts and Salvation Army too. You don't care about kids.

Jill - The Weimar republic failed because of the fear of conservatives, like your fearful self, of the breakdown and disintergration of a social fabric perceived to have been better and more proper. The extreme right-wingers reaction against that supported and fostered by ultra-nationalist elements within the still-sore army and elsewhere funded the Nazis. They got more than they bargained for, and when they realized the apparent threats to society, just like yours, were exaggerated and in fact it was those that opposed freedom that were the threat, it was too late. Weimar wasn't malignant, its freedom didn't work because at the time there were too many clutching onto simplistic black&white notions of "strength" that history has since thoroughly discredited.The desperate need to control societal "norms" and enforce social engineering is the outward manifestation of a fundamentally weak society bound to fail.

If you "loved" kids in a good way you wouldn't want to see them getting brainwashed to be "genderqueer allies".

Children aren't taking their lives in record numbers - and I know because I work with suicidal kids. Teen suicide is way down since the 80's and 90s. The homosexual political groups and their "allies" in the meida have totally fabricated a homosexual suicide epidemic (a real suicide epidemic is taking place among veterans that doesnt get covered).

Ritch Savin-Williams, professor of developmental psychology and director of Cornell University’s Sex & Gender Lab, comments on the dangerous misconception of a gay youth suicide epidemic.

Savin-Williams says:

“It is important to point out in these moments of grief that there is absolutely no scientific evidence of an ‘epidemic of gay youth suicide,’ or even that gay youth kill themselves more frequently than do straight youth.
