Will the Homosexual Agenda become an important issue in 2012?

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

There have been scientifically documented cases of birds (seagulls and penguins specifically) exhibiting homosexual behavior. Is there a homosexual penguin agenda? Do seagulls choose to be gay?

In terms of whether someone chooses to be gay (assuming you're trying to make a point out of that), I don't think that that should really influence the debate on whether gay marriage is right and/or should be legal. From my point of view that's like saying someone with a tendency to steal or someone who's insane killing someone has the right to do so because they didn't choose to be insane. Not that I'm comparing gays to murderers or thieves here.

There. I said it. Forum, feel free to attack me.

     You do have a point, though that line was conceived as a counter-argument to the equally invalid conservative argument that homosexuality is a choice. Even if homosexuality were a choice, that says nothing about whether or not gay marriage should be legal, so it is a non sequitor & possibly a case of naturalistic fallacy for both the argument & the counter-argument.

That was the point I was trying to make.

It depends on who ends up being nominated as the GOP candidate.

If some crazy fundie gets it, oh yeah you can bet your ass they will campaign on it.
If some libertarian leaning candidate gets nominated they might spend two minutes or so talking about how we need to get the government out of defining relationships.
If Sexgod gets nominated expect "blah blah blah State's Rights blah blah blah" response.  In this fashion Sexgod both appeases the anti-gay activist branch while also helping to win undecides who worry he might be too hard on the gays.

Those are my three cents.

Sexgod was originally Mark Warner, but he's a Democrat. So Sexgod would be Mitch Daniels except he's not running. Who's Sexgod this time around?
