I guess the big question is this; what draws conservatives to public restrooms for anonymous gay sex like mosquitoes to a bug zapper? Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against guys having the gay sex. What completely pisses me off is when these conservative ultra Christians promote anti-gay agendas while doing it. It’s exactly this kind of hypocrisy that has caused me to start this blog in the first place.
First, we had Bob Allen who offered to pay $20.00 to a black undercover officer to allow him to perform oral sex. Then Larry Craig gets busted in a Minnesota airport restroom. Now I read on First Draft that Joey DiFatta has been detained TWICE by mall security; once for being a peeping tom and the other for soliciting. What the hell is going on in the GOP, and since they know about it why the hell aren’t they doing anything?
This is not the kind of behavior that we would expect from someone who’s web page proclaims “Defend our conservative values from attacks by extreme liberal groups”. So we can just chock this up as yet another anti-gay self hating hypocrite. The good news is that it will be one less hypocrite as he has reportedly dropped from the race for 1st Senate District of Louisiana reporting health issues as the reason. Yeah, we believe you Joey.
Anyhow, if anyone knows why this keeps happening to conservative Republicans and not liberal Democrats please feel free to comment. Thanks.

Before you try to “quote” the constitution, perhaps it would help if you actually read the document. I challenge you to find it. Because it is not there.
The U. S. Constitution does not say “seperation of Church and state.” In fact the term only appeared in U. S. History in a letter Thomas Jefferson wrote to a Baptist Minister. Further the only Constitution the phrase was ever in was the now defunct Soviet Union.
Which is funny because it was Atheist State. And if you go by websters diffinetion for religion (a deeply held belief) then Atheism is a religion.
Given this info, it is impossible to have a true seperation of church and state, because one way or the other you will be recognizing someones religion. Even if it is the religion of Atheism.
OK, enough with the civic lesson.
Now for you assertion, that straight people who are uncomfortable undressing/showering infront of a homosexual are afraid of being jumped, is ludricus and at best a total misrepresentation of what they said. A person can be uncomfortable without feeling threatened.
You’re right, which is why I didn’t “quote” the constitution. What we have is a first amendment that states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof . . . .”
Under that amendment we have the establishment clause and the free exercise clause. These have been interpreted to effectively be a separation of church and state. Indeed that exact phrase has been used by the Supreme Court in rulings more than 25 times.
John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison were among the early users of this term and ideology and it continues to stand up today. Thus the separation of church and state is in the constitution.
Summer,
I thought it was interesting that you and I have been acused of attemped censorship when neither of us has ever told anyone over there to stop “arguing” with us.
If you are going to put your thoughts and beliefs out there for everyone to read why would you expect EVERYONE to just agree with you and do as you say?
Better yet why would you want that to happen?
Discourse is the higest form of communication and everyone learns something every time they do it. Unless they refuse to participate that is.
I agree with you. It certainly seems strange to accuse us of censorship because we don’t agree with them. I’m pretty hard pressed to figure out exactly how anyone came up with that idea.
It’s a childish response to an adult conversation is all.
So glad to provide you with material since you can’t come up with your own ideas. I hope the people who read your blog are intelligent enough to know that you have seriously taken my words out of context. Read my blog for youself and come to your own conclusion.
Maybe on your next blog, you can come up with your own ideas.
As you can see I linked to your blog so they can see for themselves what I am discussing. I believe in being fair after all. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t wish to censor anyone. I’ve written several articles on this site alone and this is the only one that mentions your blog. It does so because I found the responses and your blog itself to be representative of what I see as a bigger problem.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and I hope you do so in the future.
perhaps gaya can seperate from no gays in the millitary, this can reduce the contradiction.
Hi fabianlander,
Could you explain what you mean? I am not sure if you mean that gays should be segregated in the military or if this is something that should debated amongst gays?
Thanks so much,
Summer
Don’t kid yourself. The military has exsisted with Gays for thousands of years. Why change things now?
