Today at the MTP debate Rick Santorum talked about how gay people should be treated with respect. Here is how he respects them (via LA Times):

It must be tough for kids with gay parents, they are probably subject to as much bullying as gay kids themselves. I certainly would rather kids have parents rather than be orphans, and I understand the whole single parent argument, but if there are options, kids should go to opposite sex couples. They should not be deprived of a mother or father if they have the chance to have both.

The whole bullying angle is the biggest load of turd ever.  Kids get bullied for everything.  And we learn to recognize that the bullies are tards and that we're fine the way we are.

Will homosexuals and heterosexuals at some point silently agree that things worked a lot better for both sides when open homosexuals stuck to San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York?

No.

Fair or not, and I certainly have no problem with homosexuals or homosexuality unlike most folks I know, homosexuals will never be embraced by society at large to the degree they fantasize about. Unfortunately, they will always be treated as second-class except where they are heavily concentrated. The best they could have ever hoped for was having their own mecca in San Francisco. AIDS kind of prevented that, I guess.

....wow

I don't like the way the world is, but I did not make it and I am certainly not so naive as to think homosexuals will ever be readily accepted into the mainstream the way that preferring Pepsi over Coke is, for example. I strongly disagree with Santorum on anything related to homosexuals/homosexuality, but on that front, and it saddens me to say this, Santorum simply continues to speak openly the way that most heterosexuals think privately. Somebody ought to say it, so there.

Now this can't be true. Phil has assured me that Santorum isn't bigoted and that only some interest group could lead one to that conclusion.

So you would support rounding up all the gays and sending them to SF, LA and NYC? Maybe in nice little camps?

When did the ghetto become equivalent to San Franscisco, Los Angeles, and New York? Those cities have nice qualities.

Seriously, trying to make the differences between heterosexuals/heterosexuality and homosexuals/homosexuality into something akin to racial differences is never going to work. It's just not. If you don't believe me, go ask the vast majority of African-American Democrats.

No, I would prefer homosexuals being openly accepted in society at large, but that is never going to happen. The most realistic alternative is a return to the way things were in the late 1970s (i.e., open homosexuals prosper in San Fransisco, New York and Los Angeles). Relations between homosexuals and heterosexuals were probably at an all-time high in that era, before the onset of AIDS.

No, I mean the ones who do not care whether or not it is a choice, but see it as undesirable trait in their offspring by virtue of its incompatibility with the survival of their offspring. After all, when you get right down to it most heterosexuals have one basic desire: survival. This includes, of course, survival of their offspring. Biologically, they are never going to really accept something that threatens the survival of their offspring whether it be in the near or distant future.

so when people realize (choose in GOP world) that they are gay in their teens, should they then be carted off to the Castro District of SF and given a one month pass the a bath house? Or should they be allowed to finish high school locally?

And will the federal guvment be paying for moving all the gays to their appropriate designated zones (I assume you will call them Pink Empowerment Zones or something like that)

Why do you suppose there is so much animosity towards homosexuals then? Do you really think many people have a problem with what people do quietly in the privacy of their own home? It's far more than that at its core.
