Note that I was not saying that all social conservatives feel this way, only that some do. Certainly there are also social conservative arguments against e.g. homosexual marriage that do not rest on these foundations, or that do not have these exact goals.
In your estimation, what percentage of social conservatives are working to make killing homosexuals legal?
And where does the fellow you linked to, Peter LaBarbera, call for making the killing of homosexuals legal?
Since your reference was to the RIght Wing Watch, and you were contrasting liberals with social conservatives in the US, I assume you're talking about right wing Christians in the US, and not muslims in the US or abroad. My first question was based on that demographic.
Literally killing? A negligible percentage if indeed any, though there are probably a bunch more who would want it to be legal (but know that there's no chance of that law passing).
It's perhaps also worth noting that this whole discussion presupposes a certain set of countries. Not only are there countries in the world where killing homosexuals is legal, there are countries where it's mandatory.
Yes, that is an excellent point.
