Maybe there is a disconnect between his pot-stiring public persona and his own values?

Where is the disconnect for someone who has more than once stated his feelings on the gay lifestyle. Does being opposed to legalizing gay marriage lock you into being against and hating gays?

I am opposed to legalizing gay marriage and making it the same as hetersexual marriage. I don't hate gays,count two among my best friends and have known many others that I like. Yet on C/A that is being homphobic.

Oddly enough I share the same views of the militant gays as my two gay friends. To them they are freaks.They do not believe gay couples should have children,as catholics they do not believe that those practising a gay lifestyle should serve in a official capacity in the church.

After the past several years I have a far greater concern for those that have recognizable names among SDA's and others that have a far worse disconnect between what they preach from the pulpit and their "own personal values"

Did I say all that out in my 1 sentence response to another post?

His extreme public views make him so distasteful to me that I have never thought of him as an "entertainer". Maybe you're right!

Yes I think you did. I am still waiting for those that are in the fore front demanding proof of the accusations they have leveled.

My gay son feels pretty much the same way. He hates it when people lump all gays together and think they are all like that. He is nothing like them. He just wants to live his own life as he feels is appropriate for him, and leave everyone else the freedom to do the same.

It's so amazing that the de facto leader of the conservative movement in America pays a gay "married" man $1 million + to play at his wedding. His fourth wedding. He marries a woman who is 26 years his junior! You can't make this stuff up.

I see some assumptions coming to light here.

First. There is the assumption that conservatives don't like gays. Why this preconceived notion? Because they oppose gay marriage? Well, most of them favor civil unions - including Rush. I guess by hiring Elton John, Rush has shown that conservatives (at least himself) take no issues with gays.

Second: This is the assumption that all conservatives are part of the Religious Right. Why else would someone be surprised that a conservative gets married for the fourth time to someone 26 years his junior?
