"GAYS" ARE UPSET BECAUSE SARAH PALIN’S CHURCH WANTS TO SAVE THEM?
Excuse me, but what’s wrong with these people?
Don’t “gays” have enough to worry about? Now they’re all exercised over Governor Sarah Palin’s church, the Wasilla Bible Church, and its efforts to convert them to normalcy: http://news.aol.com/elections/article/palins-church-promotes-gay-conversion/165471?icid=200100397×1208835546x1200532764.
I must not get it. There’s so much antipathy in this country toward homosexuals and yet good people who want to end that antipathy by getting “gays” to return to normal lives are castigated for trying to “pray away the gay.”
I realize that at least some “gays” don’t wish to convert or be saved and consider such efforts as discriminatory but why oppose those who wish to convert them, unless they have sincere doubts as to their life choice?
Governor Palin hasn’t commented publically on the issue so it seems to me this is just another effort to unfairly isolate her in an anti-homosexual corner in order to win votes for Obama. Since he has the "gay" vote locked up anyway, why all the fuss?
“I think gay Republicans are going to run away” if Palin supports efforts like the prayers to convert gays, said Wayne Besen, founder of the New York-based Truth Wins Out, a gay rights advocacy group.
I think there are relatively few “gays” in Alaska anyway so what’s Besen’s point? Where are they going to run? Alabama?
If acceptance by the straight world is their ultimate goal, the best route for a "gay" guy to take is to get out in the Alaskan woods and hunt, shoot, and field dress a moose.
