You made the statement that “I was expecting someone to jump me but no one did, maybe the post is still young.” You were right the post was too young. I know that I am going to be politically incorrect in saying what I am about to… But I feel it must be said because it isn’t just me who feels this way. Many others do too they just close to seem politically correct by saying nothing. I do not mind being the fall guy and STANDING UP FOR WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE TRUE.
I had an uncle, have a son, and have many friends who are gay, please let me make that clear to you and the others. I love them all dearly, I would lay down my life for them, I would sit with them through any illness and nurse them hopefully back to health.
But having said that they also understand how I feel about their life style. To me it is immoral, it goes against everything God made this Earth for, it is a choice just as much as it is a choice when a known alcoholic takes a drink and keeps drinking. I do not try to sway my gay family and friends back into the heterosexual world because I know they are adults just as I am and can make their own choices. They have their agency the same as I do and I honor that agency.
Agency is a doubled edged sword. It gives us the right to make good choices and it gives us the right to make bad choices. If I know the consequences of over eating and still do it I get fatter and unhealthy. If a person knows consequences of drinking alcohol when they know how it affects them then they take the chance of getting into a car to drive drunk and killing someone else. If a heterosexual person chooses to cheat on their spouse then they have to face the consequences of what will happen. If your choice is to abuse either legal or illegal drugs you will have to face consequences. If you men & women chose to live together without being married there are consequences. Yes, I think all of the above things are wrong things, most immoral. They all have consequences that sooner or later the person and those around them will have to deal with ands come to terms with.
A man in our community was recently arrested on 5 counts of child porn. He was well respected on his job and in the group of people he associated with. I am almost certain that in his thinking he had justified what he was doing and convinced himself to believe that he wasn’t hurting anyone….or at least anyone he knew and wanted to be respected by. But we all know that sooner or later all deviant behavior will be found out because when unchecked it grows. He was wrong… the ripple effect that has gone through the community he was in has been horrid. His family is, this week end, having to move from the only home & schools their children have known just because they need to be protected from angry neighbors. Each of us who know this man has had our life changed to a degree by what he did in privet.
My life and the lives of my other children have been forever changed by a choice my son made. A choice he made to follow after another man made the choice to molest him when he was in Jr. High School. My son has a learning disability and at the time of entering teen-hood (thinking that his parents surely couldn’t understand him) he was taken in by this man (his father’s age) and taught how to be gay. And please don’t try to tell me that it can’t and isn’t taught in many incidents. Part of this ripple effect was that my son molested his younger brother and has tried over the years to convince him he is also gay. My youngest son also having a learning problem has struggled with this all his life since and will until he dies. Please don’t tell me ‘privet’ immoral acts don5t hurt anyone but the person doing them.
There is also a huge debate going on right now with parents & game makers. It is OK or wrong to let our kids play violent games because they will become desensitized to the violence and blood& guts. Or in 20 years will it be politically correct to let people do as the wish and kill whoever they want for whatever reason. What have we allowed being politically correct desensitize us too???
You all might say I am old fashioned, behind the times, stupid, or whatever you want to say about me… that’s OK with me. I will wear that proudly if it means that I will not be wavering from my core beliefs, what I KNOW to be true.
Now for essentially_solo….I come from a line of military patriots I am married to a Retired Army officer. I am proud of and honor any man or woman willing to put their lives on the line to preserve freedom in this world. I will say it again ANYONE! ! !
