But could someone tell me why the conservatives are all obsessed with gay sex? It's rather... disturbing.

B/c deep down they're all gay and are struggling with it.

I think the answer is obvious. ALL Conservatives are secretly gay! It's a fact. I mean, look at Stephen Harper. He's totally gay for George W. Bush, who is also gay by the way.

You will of course recall the rule from Steel Magnolias that all gay guys are named either Marc, Rick or Steve. I think that is evidence enough.

Really, they're just being prudent. It's a little known fact that gay sex causes both economic depression _and_ terrorism. Any patriotic Canadian would be obsessed over the topic!

It's also the chief cause of lumber disputes.

The words for the day are denial, self-repression, and of course self-hating closet case.

Hm. I'm conservative, straight and named Hal. So much for that theory. ;)

People of power despise what they cannot control. The one thing they despise most is the idea of someone, somewhere, having fun in a way they find revolting.

One guess is that they are obessing about gay sex because they are not getting any...of course, it also could be that they are thinking of calling an election soon, or fear that they will suffer a non-confidence vote, and are trying to "rally their base"...instincts?

It's sort of like how Osama bin Laden's health always seems to become an issue when there is an American federal level election...

A lack of willing female partners?

Because hating on gays is easy. It plays well in the media. It offends a proportionally smaller amount of the population than hating on gender or race. It's the thin end of the so-con wedge.

Plus, you know, it's against God's plan for humanity. (We can say this ironically, but I suspect a large portion of the so-con vote would nod their heads at this statement, and agree.)

A recent issue of The Walrus had a comprehensive, depressing, and completely one-sided view of Harper and his party's so-con undercurrent. Recommended reading, but try to be happy before you start.

Jealousy.
