No it isn't. It is a wide range of views on one side, and a handful of social conservatives on the other.

I give you credit redress You identify yourself as a Liberal.........Most Liberals in DP hide that.

NP, disagreement with you is not a sign some one is liberal.

Can you tell if a camp counselor is gay by looking at him? And would he advertise his sexual preference to kids under his charge? This is a total non-issue.

If they were allowed to serve openly or othe BSs might do that................That is what we are talking about.

I'm not sure why you'd use homosexuality as an identifying metric for conservative or liberal. Many of us prefer not to list our ideological affiliations because it inspires kneejerk reactions and responses and colors discussion. It's unnecessary to wear your beliefs on your shoulder.
 
Re: Would you allow your son to go to camp where there were openly gay members? [W:19

Things were a lot less complicated when I was a kid........Not sure I even knew someone who is gay...

True same with Conservatives. It does not matter though your can usually tell someone's political leanings by their posts.

Most people in Canada are fiscally conservative and socially liberal - we have a motto - keep the government out of my wallet and out of my bedroom - there's no listing on this site to identify as such, so I choose conservative, since fiscal issues are more important to me in the public realm. I'd be surprised if most people who post here are rigid ideologues.

I'm kind of late into this thread, so I won't express my opinion because I'll probably be repeating something 10 other people have said. Instead, I'll give an anecdote in answer to this thread title's question.

Both of my sons went to the same high school where there were openly gay students. One son was into JROTC...the other Marching Band (and everything else that was music related). My musician son spent last summer in a Drum & Bugle Corps that had openly gay marching members. He spent 2 1/2 months traveling all over the US in a bus...sleeping on school gym floors...showering in gym showers.

One son has been in a relationship with a beautiful black girl (he's white) for more than a year and the other son is living in his new girlfriend's parent's home while he goes to college.

So, my answer to the question would be...yes.

Oh, I should mention that my brother...their uncle...is gay.

That's because it was much more frowned upon than it is today.

Kinda like people who are ashamed to admit to being Republican and actually go out of their way to deny it.

Perhaps, but YOU can't. Anyone who seems to disagree with you is a left-wing friend. Even people who are actually right-wing non-friends.

If you know it, why do ou keep making the mistake? By my count, there are at least 15 conservatives voted yes, many of them more conservative than you. That is more than voted no in total. Trying to paint this as a liberal vs conservative issue is silly.

The fact is that gay people aren't going to hit on someone they know isn't gay, nor would any reasonable adult, straight or gay, I believe would think it is appropriate to hit on someone in that environment, it is just a non-issue.

I have a friend who runs a youth dance program. It's mostly girls but some boys are involved including her own children. They sometimes travel to other cities and participate in group dance events. Other boys (teens) constantly are hitting on her son and trying to get him to engage in gay sexual experimentation. On a recent trip the older kids were supposed to get together and see the city sites in the place they were in. Her son didnt want to be with the group because it was constant gay sexual harassment/bullying.

You did know someone who was gay.

You just weren't open about it.

How much less complicated would life be if everyone was just who they were?

That's children, not adults, not what I was talking about.

Were you at a gay "group dance event"? If not, I think you're exaggerating a bit.

There are not 15 conservatives who voted yes. You know I get a lot of liked on my posts on my page but the individuals don't wnt to get involved and that is their choice...........I have broad shoulders and even t my age can carry the load.

It's odd to me that we live in "The Land of the Free", but everybody is hiding something. Go figure?
