With the disclaimer that I do not know JDG's personal views on the matter, homosexuality and other sexual practices are *NOT* private matters for many conservatives. At minimum they involve issues of sin and morality and at most they have grossly corossive effects on society, possibly even leading to Gibonian decay. I am pretty much a social darwinist (more cynical, disillusioned liberal than a real conservative), but used to work with people who were much more conservative than me. I once said that Clinton's effort to allow homosexuals in the military (then maybe 8 years history) was morally laudible (irrelevant, social darwinist remember) and importantly technically and fiscally responsible ... I was gently reminded that not everyone thought that letting gays in the military was noble, some people thought it morally reprehensible and a pernicious idea no matter how appealing from a fiscal or technocratic perspective. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
