Because they share the same causes and concerns. I remember reading and hearing democrats speak in support of NAMBLA back in the late 70s and early 80s. About being inclusive of all types of sexuality. I don't believe for a minute that the majority of the democrat base feels this way but up until now, it has been something they held their nose and stuck to the party for. In recent years, it seems that the party has been hijacked by the far left. It is too much for some of the moderate democrats. In my family, my great Grandfather was a democrat, my Grandfather was a democrat, my Father was a democrat. Myself and my brothers and sisters all started out as democrats, my nephews and nieces were democrats. Five generations of "yellow dog democrats". I was talking to my nephew, he is 48 and has been a staunch democrat, he will be voting for Trump in November. His reason? All the garbage about LGBTQ, the persecution of the Christians, he questioned how any Christian could vote for democrats.

@Roadsterrider democrats never supported nambla.
Maybe someone, who happened to be a Democrat, supported them. Some guy named...I dont know, joe blow.
It is reckless to assert that there was democratic support of nambla in the same manner one might assert that the GOP supports the NRA.

@QuixoticSoul Some feel that the ability to riot in the streets but not to be allowed to go to church is a persecution. To have religious displays removed from the public areas like court houses is seen as persecution. It seems that as gays come out of the closet, the leftists want to put Christians in the closet. You can drink the Kool-Aid if you want but the US is still largely a Christian nation. When you start jerking religion around, you are stepping on a lot of toes, dems and republicans. No I am not thinking about libertarians, they can't get past legalization of drugs. I am for that too, and legalized prostitution. Prohibition doesn't work on a national level.

@Carla I would suggest you look at what groups like NAMBLA want, what groups like this want as far as legislation goes and then compare that to what the party platforms stand on. They may not have bumper stickers naming NAMBLA as a cause near to their heart but when they push far left legislation, they show what side of the moral coin they are on.

That’s not persecution, that’s just not being completely retarded - it’s a fucking courthouse holy shit, have some semblance of propriety.

Never was. Just full of Christians - not the same thing.

Oh no, the incredible outrage of being treated like other religions. How awful for you.

Obviously you haven’t - maybe they you’d notice that NAMBLA has endorsed a political party before - and it wasn’t democrats.

@QuixoticSoul It is all about perception, if the people in Po'dunk Tennessee want the 10 commandments at the courthouse and a nativity scene during the holidays, the people there see it as persecution because of their religion. Couple this with the fact that schools are teaching about Islam in some places, you can't have a prayer before the football game. It is starting to look like the powers that be are trying to eliminate a form of religion in preference of a different form. About 65% of US citizens polled claim to be Christian. With 62% claiming to belong to a church as a member.
With well over half of the country having a faith in Christianity, that pretty much makes it a Christian nation, that is where the law comes from and that is the basic moral compass heading of the country. Just like Iran is a Muslim nation, most of their citizens believe in Islam, so they are mainly an Islamic country.
When I see laws and legal proceeding brought against people who talk about Islam, when I see laws banning religious practices of other faiths, then maybe I will see it as an attack on religion as a whole and not just Christianity. Till then, it just looks like a constant effort to beat down the religion of most of the population of the US. And it matters to voters, coming from a family of "yellow dog democrats", I spoke with a family member who voted for Hillary in 2016, he will be voting for a republican, Trump, for the first time ever in his life at 48 years old, mainly because of his religious convictions. It is all about perception.
I have searched for a conservative or republican endorsement by NAMBLA and can't find a single one. I don't doubt for a minute that there aren't gay candidates or candidates who would support NAMBLA on the conservative and republican rolls, but they are absolutely not the majority of the group.

@Roadsterrider so at the end of it all, gay folks support pedophiles? You're an idiot.
Roadsterrider · 56-60, M
@Carla I think I was pointing out that democrats support pedophiles. I really can't help it that NAMBLA is a groups of pedophiles that happen to be gay. I may be an idiot, but at least I am an idiot with my eyes open.
