    Another projection as nobody on this forum is anywhere as bigoted as is the far right.

    There is no such thing as gay marriage, just like there is no such thing as gay driving, or gay eating. two people of the same sex would simply get married, not "gay married" that isn't a thing.

    So you would be vindictive enough not to support your child?

    may be true, but there aren't many posters on the "far right."

    So, what is the benchmark, where does a person cross from just being right wing to being far right?

    I take your failure to answer to mean anybody to the right of you equals far right.

    Leftists wonder why nobody cares about this, it's because it's just a way to demonize people that don't agree with you.

    Are you kidding me? I know of people who DIVORCED (after decades of marriage) when their partner voted for Trump. I personally know people who would ditch their nearest and dearest if they thought those people were Conservatives. One even said she would disown her own children, if they voted Right. Progressives are the least tolerate people on planet earth.

    Nobody does that more than does your side of the political aisle. We see that every day on this forum.

    A question for those of you from the far right since so many of you hate gays ~ would you be more accepting of your child's lifestyle if he/she was a member of the Log Cabinites?

    It doesn't matter, who cares what normal life choices your kid makes.

    Fox news and talk radio is far right? So I guess anybody slightly right is far right. So nobody should care if sjw's consider them far right. It seems to just be a way to attack and ridicule people who don't agree with you.

    To those on the left, anyone who is not a hard core leftist, is a full right-wing nut job and is therefore subject to ridicule, accusations and bigoted actions.

    The leftists while claiming to have a monopoly on tolerance are some of the most intolerant people on the planet earth.

    I agree so the best way to deal with it is just laugh at them when they call you alt right. The funny thing is I'm more of a liberal then a than a conservative. But apparently that's alt right too.

    I guess if you're just not a communist you're alt right

    Yea that would be my approach. I hope to never have any conversations about sexual preferences with my kids though. It would just be so awkward. My dad tried to have the birds and the bees talk with me. I told him not to worry about it, and we left it at that.

    That's the extent of how involved I want to be in my child's sexual preferences discussions. If you're straight? Cool, don't care. You're gay? Cool, don't care. Just get good grades!

    The ever intolerant far right believes that anyone who disagrees with them in any way is a Marxist, Communist, SJW or whatever. They ridicule anyone and always accuse them of being anti-USA. There are many posts on this forum with themes that reflect their insulting and intolerant views.

    First, I would tell them that being gay doesn't define them. That they are people first. Who they love doesn't define what they do, or accomplish as a person. I tell them that who they love is a reflection of who they are as a person, and will support them for their choices.

    I think another mistake parents of gay kids make is forgetting that being gay isn't the only important thing that child will do, or become in their lives. I've watched both extremes, from vicious abuse and exile to smothering value pimping parents. Neither is attractive.

    Second, it depends on if the child is male, or female, but if she's a lesbian, I caution them not to fall into the one date find a UHaul trap, and if he's gay, I have to teach him about being responsible about maintaining his health.

    and let's make it clear Liberals are part of the alt right. Pretty much everyone that isn't a hard-line leftist authoritarian is alt right. I'm okay with that. I don't see it as a bad thing because I see ultra-left authoritarianism as a bad thing.

    Maybe you need to find another country. May I suggest Venezuela or China. If it hurt your wittle Fifi's when someone aptly described what you are, good I'm glad your ideas are s*** and you should be mocked into Oblivion for it.

    I speak against Democrats but for the sake of the free public. And what do I claim about Democrats?
    I do not spend much in the way of words on their pet social issues other than calling them out on them backing up dark skins. I do not believe they truly are trying to help dark skins. Why pick a skin color anyway?

    I speak of their sheer bundle of taxes. And their bundle of laws.

    To heck with social issues, those two damage this nation.

    High taxes are sold as a victim issue. Supposedly the poor and middle class who by the way pay the shortest taxes to this nation among the groups of citizens here, are called victims. Victims of whom? The wealthy is whom. And the hated rich must pay a lot higher tax. Why? To make up for the fact the poor and middle class are almost not taxed on the issue known as Federal income taxes of the budget for running this nation. I do not count the social taxes since in effect the lower classes merely loaned those funds to the feds. But the other taxes never are repaid later in life.

    And finally it is the laws. What are laws? If you are innocents, of course you think you escape what laws do. You are not a mortgage broker with a company. I was once a good mortgage firm with employees. Where are my employees? No longer working here. Where are my loan agents? Down the road kicking beer cans to the curb praying a job in this business is available. We are getting hit too by computers. Pick your loan on the internet and due to Dodd Frank talk to a computer. The days of we professionals helping you pick the best loan is ending. When will Amazon.com take over this business?

    Pretty much and anyone crying about how they're being mistreated in mislabeled should be trumpeted this is a victory when they're crying because the salvos are too much you don't back off you Hammer them harder.

    so when someone says that you're just labeling you need one that doesn't agree with you Marxist communist or socialist you can say yes because they are. I'm a liberal person I believe in freedoms I believe in less intrusion into our lives by the state. Anybody who doesn't agree with me is a statist authoritarian necessarily.
