SANTORUM: I have no problem with homosexuality. I have a problem with homosexual acts. As I would with acts of other, what I would consider to be, acts outside of traditional heterosexual relationships. And that includes a variety of different acts, not just homosexual. I have nothing, absolutely nothing against anyone who's homosexual. If that's their orientation, then I accept that. And I have no problem with someone who has other orientations. The question is, do you act upon those orientations? So it's not the person, it's the person's actions. And you have to separate the person from their actions.
SANTORUM: We have laws in states, like the one at the Supreme Court right now, that has sodomy laws and they were there for a purpose. because, again, I would argue, they undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family. And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does.
And the White House supports him! In this day and age? Unreal.....

Who was that one Republican congressman that kept making slanderous public remarks against out-of-the-closet homosexual Democrat Barney Frank? Like when said person got a proctology exam and said it was something only Barney Frank would enjoy. You would think that there would be at least some kind of professionalism or at least common courtesy, but there wasn't, and the GOP did nothing to shut this guy up. It disgusted me, the fact that this guy could not even put aside his nature and be bigoted in private.
And yes, my previous post was a generalization of the platform as a whole, though several people were pointed out as supporting most of the platform. And no, I'm not homosexual myself. I just happen to know quite a few of them, most of whom are very nice people. Who cares what they do in bed? Who cares if they walk down the street holding hands? Who cares if they kiss in public?It's no one's business but their own.
IMHO, the Republican party has gotten into bed with dangerous people who want to legislate morality and make everyone conform to their own version of morality, for their own good, no less.
