A nominee's abnormal views | Dr. Holsinger has high-level experience as a health administrator, but there are disturbing indications that he is prejudiced against homosexuals. (The New York Times)

It's disingenuous for religious leaders to fret that the big, bad gay agenda is limiting religious "freedom." The enormity of the discrimination that gays and lesbians have faced--and still face--must be very difficult to imagine for somebody born as a heterosexual into a majority religion. If you were that concerned about personal liberty, where was your outrage when Matthew Shepherd was murdered? Or Harvey Milk? Or when scores of gays in "Christianized" African nations are tortured and imprisoned for no other "crime" than that of being gay?
No, I have a hard time crying over the terrible social barriers that must be endured by Christians in America.

So, now homosexuality is finally "normal" and those that disdain such behavior are "abnormal." The folks from NAMBLA must be very excited about their prospects. The decline is accelerating as “every man does what is right in his own eyes.”

The Greek Philosophers, living in a Pagan Society where Homosexuality was very prevalent, declared Homosexuality to be a Bad Habit! Meaning like Drug Addiction, Drunkeness, being addicted to Gambling, Pedophilia. Anal Intercourse spreads sexually transmitted diseases far more rapidly than normal intercourse. In Kenya, there are prostitutes who have been servicing customers for years, many customers have HIV/AIDS, yet these women remain free of HIV/AIDS. Often, young boys are raped by older male in Homosexual Recruitment Rites. Anal Intercourse is so dangerous, that no under age male is mature enough to rightfully consent, no matter what the Supreme court Says. Congress men and women, are simply being too cowardly, in not gearing up for a try at impeaching Supreme Court Justices who say or rule otherwise. Christians must withdraw their support from cowardly congress persons.
