““Sexual preference has never been a protected class in any of our civil rights laws,” Sensenbrenner said.”

But Sexual Orientation is, nice try at mixing up the words.

“Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), a freshman Republican who won as a Tea Party challenger in the 2010 election, asked if laws related to sexual orientation merited heightened scrutiny, why shouldn’t heightened scrutiny apply to laws on allowing cousins to marry, underaged marriage or polygamy.”

Throwing around illogical comparisons only makes you that more ignorant.

Randy, bigotry is a perversion. Look it up. You’re an anti-gay pervert. The depravity appears to be your homophobia. Nice try though. LOL!! That was easy.

Pervert: An unusual or abnormal sexual act that is habitual

Same-sex activity happens to be the very definition of what a pervert is; must you folks redefine every word in the English language just to lend the appearance of acceptability to your depravity?

Dear S.C. Christianist, bigot, Republican pervert, Gowdy, stop projecting your sexual fantasies with your daughter. The gays have better sexual practices than you and your pathetic Klan.

Yeah, this is pretty comical by now because the conservatives/republicans are being some of the most manipulative weasels I’ve ever seen in my life. (I have nothing against republicans except their reactions to social issues, which are often monstrously anti-American.) The gay issue repeatedly brings out the worst in these conservatives, and it’s chilling enough that they act as if it’s the democrats who are reacting ideologically or emotionally on this issue: Think about that for a second. Just who is reacting IDEOLOGICALLY and EMOTIONALLY? — the anti-gay, period. That’s bad enough: Far worse is that Sensenbrenner comes off as uneducated when he refers to “sexual preference.” It’s called “orientation” and it’s inborn, and Sensenbrenner looks like an idiot, literally, when he (or anyone else like him) decides they’re going to be a stubborn “holdout” against prevailing medical opinion and the testimony of millions of gay people worldwide. When people question anorexia, depression or peanut allergies, particularly in kids, the parents go into defensive hysterics. It’s about time that we realize that questioning someone’s testimony on their own life and orientation is equally offensive and sickening.
