I'm probably more liberal/progressive than a lot of Dems, but the power lies in the traditional two parties. I don't see a Libertarian being elected to high office any time soon (or, later, for that matter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look at the left there are certain groups the are much more religiously affiliated and have a strong anti gay sentiment. I live in urban environment, I see it everyday.

The liberal religious people I know (or have known) were Dorothy Day Catholic Worker types, Unitarians or Episcopal Church types who had a gay priest in their church. None of them were anti-gay. Who are these supposed liberal anti-gay people? Names, not just generalized. Stop playing the "whataboutism" card. Pretending both sides are the same. They most definitely are not. It's silly, and all of us know it's an absurd position to take. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok back up your 98% hate is statement. look man nothing I’m going to say is going to make you wake up tomorrow and be like “fuck, that guy was right, republicans aren’t so bad”. So I’m not going to debate you because you’re pulling stats out your ass at a much faster rate than I can. You win, 100% of all republicans are gay haten’ red necks and those of us that are gay must hate ourselves, not things like high taxes, communism, ect.
