I think the right is trying to drive home this irrelevant gay marriage issue as a way to divert attention from the horrible jobs picture.

It's always been the sign of a closet case in my experience.
You certainly appear to be an expert on this subject.

I'm a healthy hetero sexual...

...as opposed to your being an unhealthy homosexual.

but I wonder about people who continually joke about and demean gays. It's always been the sign of a closet case in my experience.

Riiight. You've known sooooo many guys who are against homosexuality and who are Sodomites by stealth. Lies and you know it. I have known and currently know quite a large number of people who are quite vocally against homosexuality and the homosexual agenda. I suspect I have known and currently know far more of these sorts of people than you will ever know in your lifetime. Yet I have never once, in all my time with such folks, observed a single instance where one of them has been a closet homosexual.

Liberals simply wish to lie. They obviously cannot help themselves. Instead of addressing the homosexual issue directly, squarely confronting its practical and philosophical problems, they lie - claiming that people who express legitimate rejection of the homosexual agenda are themselves homosexuals. That lie is evident and no thinking person could ever possibly accept it. But liberals just keep telling it.

I have not met a single liberal in all my days who has ever been able to give one clearly apparent reason as to why having sex with animals is wrong. Most of them claim it should not be tolerated as homosexuality is tolerated, but not a single one in all my years of discussing this issue, has been able to state in logical terms precisely why it should not be tolerated. It is quite telling. Clearly the liberals are liars and intellectual cheats.
