FRC: Obama Plans to "Impose Homosexuality"

[Alex]

I don't see what's so ludicrous. They obviously don't mean you'll be forced to be homosexual but that you'll be forced to accept homosexuality in the workplace. And that's true. In the same sense that blacks were imposed on the workplace.

They're still horribly silly to be bothered by that.

Yeah, that.

Every time I hear some nimrod complain that recognition of gay marriage would mean that children will be taught about homosexuality in school I wish I could respond with, "Yeah, so?" Damn right they will, they'll be taught that everyone has a right to be with whomever they choose to be with. And that's the way it should be.

But alas, such honesty is not effective in preventing nimrods from voting away people's rights.

So you're going to teach your kid they'll be taught that everyone has a right to be with whomever they choose to be with. What is wrong with you?! Don't you know you have to protect future generations from this path to hell? Sheesh! [/sarcasm*]

On a side note I told someones 9 y/o that 2 guys kissing was not wrong or disgusting. She came back with "but aren't you a Christian?" and when I told her "no" I thought her little head was going to explode. I did apologize to her dad - I am not that close to them and my brain to mouth filter was not working. Heck, on that topic I don't have one. In my world I don't associate with people who think homosexuality is wrong. I wasn't apologizing for saying it, but that courtesy apology when you just made a parents life a bit more difficult.

I think I was her first experience with someone who openly doesn't believe the same way her parents do. I hope it opens up dialogue and future conversations with her parents about not everyone believing the same way.

I don't share your certainty (but I'll agree it's a possibility). If that's what they meant, why didn't they say, "impose homosexuals"?

Because it's not "imposing homosexuals", it's imposing the concept of homosexuality as being ok.

If they went to every business and presented them with a homosexual person, saying "you must hire them", then that would be imposing homosexuals.

If one believes that by "imposing homosexuality as an ok concept" you are "silencing Christianity" (by not letting Christians complain that working with homosexuals is against their religion) then the statement they are making makes sense.

Discrimination is discrimination, no matter the religious guise, and it looks like we're getting down to brass tacks.
