The Family Research Council is taking President Obama to task for devoting resources to homosexual senior citizens because, apparently, they're too small a minority. More below.
In reality, HHS has no idea how many LGBT seniors exist. No one does! The movement is only a few decades old, and people who are 80- or 90-years-old didn’t grow up in a culture where it was acceptable to identify with this lifestyle.
Of course, the real tragedy here–apart from the unnecessary spending– is that, given the risks of homosexual conduct, few of these people are likely to live long enough to become senior citizens! Yet once again, the Obama administration is rushing to reward a lifestyle that poses one of the greatest public health risks in America. If this is how HHS prioritizes, imagine what it could do with a trillion dollar health care overhaul!
Ahhh...I love the smell of hatred and bigotry in the afternoon. Goes well with coffee and Aspirin. In any case, they're wrong. Newsweek reports that over the next 25 years, seniors will be made up of 20 percent LGBT. Facts kind of puts a damper on that argument. Next up, the bigoted notion that being LGBT is somehow "dangerous." Well, no more than life in general.
So what we have here, in the long run, is an entire senior populous that will go unnoticed unless our leadership recognizes their very existence. President Obama is doing this, and kudos to him and his administration for keeping their eye on a very important topic while others--namely the Family Research Council--continue to ignore everything and everyone they hate.
