Reply #15: Amazing the number of conservatives who have gay kids [View All]

[TlalocW]

Phyliss Schaffly, Alan Keyes, Dick Cheney, Randall Terry, Sonny Bono, Pete Knight, Charles Socarides (kicked out of American Psychological Association for maintaining that homosexuality is a mental illness; gay son, Richard, was a high-ranking aid in Clinton administration), etc. Then Jesse Helms and Barry Goldwater had gay grandchildre, but Goldwater was cool about it.

Anyway, I always like to use these people as a way to piss off some conservatives I know because several of the people listed are heros to them. Using their logic, I always ask, "If homosexuality isn't genetic as your side believe, then your heros have to be bad parents. Maybe if Phyliss Schaffly had followed her own advice and stayed at home more instead of gallivanting around the country giving speeches, her son wouldn't have turned out gay. And since we don't want gay couples raising children, then we also need to look at these conservatives who are turning out gay kids. They should maybe go to remedial parenting classes, and SRS might need to step in and take their current kids (like Randall Terry's) until we're sure he knows what he's doing."

I had one guy not talk to me for a month after I said something like that. I'm sure he prayed for me though.
