Cuccinelli: Homosexual ‘acts’ are a ‘detriment to our culture.’This echoes rather precisely the view of the 15th-century Catholic Church: yes, we want everybody in our society to be integrated into our society.
"... In a new interview with CBS 6, Cuccinelli says that gay “acts” are harmful to society:Q: Do you think that gays — the practice of homosexuality — is a detriment to our culture?
CUCCINELLI: The acts are. You certainly want everybody in your society to be integrated into your society.
AND: we'll take steps to insure that EVERYONE IS integrated! - We'll ferret out the the non-conformists among us. In fact, we've got a really cool way to do this - it's called the Inquisition!
Come to think of it, AG Cuccinelli might be thinking about more modern political parallels, like Saudi Arabia's Committee for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.
In addition to having the power to arrest anyone engaged in homosexual acts, prostitution, fornication, or proselytizing of non-Muslim religions, they can also arrest unrelated males and females caught socializing, enforce Islamic dress-codes, Muslim dietary laws (such as the prohibition from eating pork) and store closures during the prayer time.Yep - the Saudis just want everybody in their society to be integrated into their society.
(Conservative religious zealots are pretty much the same world-wide, regardless of their particular Confession. After all, they have The TRUTH, and are all just looking out for our best interests... saving our souls, and all that. If VA AG Cuccinelli could bring himself to confess Mohammed as G-d's Prophet, he'd probably be quite comfortable in Saudi Arabia.)
Note: What I'd really like to see is someone - either a political opponent or some Virgina media - parse AG Cuccinelli's remarks as I've done above! - taking them at face value, and calling out their natural political implications.
