The "I don't want to have to explain this to my kids" line of thinking is, in my opinion, simply the most convinent example of the line of thinking that runs rampant among the conservative right. Other examples include "you are destroying family values" and the simple but eloquent "you will burn in hell". <br />It alarms many of my fellow lesbian witches that I have many MANY friends who are straight and Christian. Who do not demonstrate or condone this kind of thinking or behavior. But they are not representitive of the religious right as a whole.<br />My experience with these people, not on TV but up close and personal in my day to day life is congruent with the example given above. For example, they allow their children to watch soap operas and other shows depicting sexual behavior, but will not allow them to learn about birth control, explaining that sex is "everywhere" but birth control encourages kids to engage in it. (?!?)<br />It is the nature of the religious right to spout off hypocytical, contradicatve and extreme speech in the name of promoting their cause (I am still trying to figure out what my "gay agenda" is). If this is NOT how you interact with the world in terms of getting your message across, then you are not really a member of the religious right. <br />Now, I'm off to destroy family values with my lesbianism, because Rush Limbaugh and his 3 divorces did not take care of that for me!!Chrysalishttp://www.chrysalis01.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316287167964751654.post-58442700505981902222010-10-26T21:55:00.115-07:002010-10-26T21:55:00.115-07:00If you really think these are not the same, or at ...If you really think these are not the same, or at least overlapping, groups of people...I don't know what to tell you.
