Just as I would have a problem accepting a drug addict, and alcoholic or a gambler to come in to my house and brag about how much money they made, how great it feels to be high, or how much of a buzz they get from a beer, I have the same problem with a homosexual coming into my house talking about his “family” and how he believes his is an acceptable lifestyle.

It is a moral decision– a moral decision that should be made by a family. And the family should show more deference to those inside the family than for an employee outside the family.

40 years ago, the wife would have written in about her husband daring to bring a black man into her home. Or about the white guy daring to date the african american woman and GASP- talked about it in front of the CHILDREN!!!!

We’ve moved beyond that, and will in regards to homophobia as well.

Which boils down, yet again, to what Amanda and everyone else in comments have said. The husband should stand by his wife, regardless. Are you arguing that he should not have?

If his behavior/conversation were the sole issue, there would have been no reason to mention the fact that he was a homo. The homophobe mentality is an easy one to pick out. You can call it religious fervor, the rest of the world, Margo included, calls it homophobia.

She has the right to ask her husband not to bring home people who make her uncomfortable. And it wasn’t his homosexuality that made her uncomfortable; it was his behavior when he was in her home.

The whole health side effects of your chosen lifestyle are pertinent only in discussing the reasons why the wife does not want this man talking about his chosen lifestyle in her home. The fact that Margo’s missing the boat here is the real point and the real topic.

Again, I restate, I will defend your right to bar me from your house just as I defend this wife’s right not to have to have you walk into hers.

I’m refuting that ridiculous assumption.

Simply because people can take a cocktail of drugs and live longer with HIV doesn’t mean that I’m going to advocate someone being a homosexual or swapping needles, etc. Life expectancy may have gone up, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t still at greater risk for infection.

Taken from the perspective of a parent (again, back to the post), I’m going to tell my kids about the inherent risks of things (and of course the morality of the situation).

As for the next comment you make, homosexuality is not natural, and up until the last century it was considered a mental illness. You say we changed our mind because of science, I say we changed our minds because of societal pressure. Call enough people derogatory names like “racist”, “bigot”, “homophobe” and people will start to cave just so they do not appear to be one of those things. People have left homosexuality. Even if it is a natural tendency, so it throwing a temper tantrum, being proud, stealing, lying, etc. All those other things we train children not to be. All those other “natural urges” we tell them not to engage in.

And as for anal cancer: Let’s see. If I’m a heterosexual male my chance of anal cancer is what? And your article actually works against you. It said that the numbers were comparable– before regular pap smears for women. Now the numbers for gay men are higher, and higher still for HIV survivors!

Again, we’re talking about an unhealthy lifestyle. One that that is unnatural. One that shortens life expectancy and has a negative impact on the quality of life.
