To be a Freeper is to lose a lot. When this loss is a decade past, you get to revise history to make it a win. But otherwise, you need a scapegoat. Where gay marriage is concerned, Freepers have decided Chief Justice Roberts is going to rule against them, and therefore he must be gay, just like Obama before him:
.
greene66 brings the current Freeper complaint - the war on Churches:
No matter how many protests to the contrary, the following step will be to force the churches to perfom homo marriages. Those that refuse will have their tax-exempt status taken away, and their properties confiscated. Individuals and businesses that refuse to abide will be targeted for financial destruction via endless lawfare. Government increases its stranglehold in every quarter of life.
Evil. It is pure, unadulterated evil. The damage to society and our freedoms will be overwhelming. If anything is emblematic of America reaching its end-days... this is.
robowombat heard Roberts has a gay cousin and then it all fell into place:
Now we know who the mole is that tipped the demorats off to Roberts sexual inversion. He would have found it impossible not to blab to the only family member who would understand.
[Robert's cousin] is, I am sure, a good little liberal robot and delivered the goods on her cousin to the people who knew people in the rat machine when he was tapped for CJ. She is going to sit there and look at her bent cousin as a silent but potent reminder of what will happen if the verdict isn't right.
This is true Chicago style politics. In sh-t city it is a well known tactic to see that a judge is reminded who owns him or as a direct threat to his existence to see that someone who he knows knows about some secret corruption or shame is sitting in his court room when a case that needs to be fixed up comes to trial. If hizzoner isn't a crook or druggy or pervert then he gets to see a couple of well known torpedoes sitting down front and giving him the coldest of stinkeyes as the trial begins.
NKP_Vet knows no hetero would ever support gays:
Took a good look at the picture of young, unmarried, John Roberts with the two other fags.
The man is a flammer. Any REAL MAN would never had represented a couple of sodomites before the Supreme Court. End of story.
I checked his profile, and there is no evidence ConservativeDude is anything less than sincere here:
Roberts is clearly gay. Thats pretty much a no brainer to me.
The only one that I am uncertain about is George W. Bush. Im not completely convinced that he is gay; but Im certainly not convinced that he is straight.

In short everyone the freepers don't like is gay.

(8,377 posts)Because that will essentially confirm that 40-some states can carry on discriminating.
The only victory out of that is that a few gay folks in a few states will gain federal benefits. That's certainly a good thing, but anybody who says this would be a clear victory just isn't thinking very much.

(34,055 posts)Slight variation on that theme, but: the 49 mAnn Coulter comments in 2012 which I could find in a quick search which were left standing :

I can't easily search for our enemy is gay comments, but I'm sure it is as bad or worse.
ETA: I don't even know why I bother to hope that, in a thread in which it is pointed out as a problem, we might not engage in it ourselves...I hadn't read the rest of this thread when I made the above comment.

(34,655 posts)Now I tend to think he just traveled in gay circles socially, perhaps because of the relationship with his cousin.
I remember saying i think he'll work out fine for a bush appointee, and he hasn't been horrible.

Many women of that age cannot conceive or do not try to conceive because the chance that the embryo/fetus/baby will have serious birth defects rises dramatically at that age.
It is common for couples who marry when they are older, particularly if it is a first marriage for one of them, to try adoption because of this.

but the Freepers think Obama is gay also.
one moment they claim people chose to be gay and next moment they insist people are gay but hiding it to further the gay agenda.

(5,815 posts)Roberts being secretly gay was a big piece of grist during confirmation. I remember Bill Maher posting pictures if him and mocking him and his friends as gay men.
It's the law of the American jungle. We don't like someone? Probably gay.
And the Left does it just as much as the Right.

(11,175 posts)Of course, the situation is complicated by their warped ideas of who's gay and who's a Muslim.
