Gay Parents Line Up For White House Easter Egg Roll Tickets
Associated Press ^ | 4-13-2006 | Associated Press

Posted on 04/13/2006 8:07:57 AM PDT by WildPlum

WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of gay and lesbian parents hoping to take their families to the annual White House Easter Egg Roll plan to start lining up Friday evening to make sure they get tickets for the Monday event.

Thousands of tickets — an estimated 16,000 last year — are given away on a first-come-first-come basis beginning at 7:30 a.m. Saturday.

National Park Service officials said Wednesday that children of all ages may attend as long as there is at least one child 7 years old or younger, and no more than two adults per group.

First lady Laura Bush's office issued a statement saying all families are welcome to attend.

And the gays score an enormous political victory

For the second time, everything is a political consideration for you.

So you are a holy roller? Someone who forces someone to obey THEIR God's laws.

The 'gay cause' is using gay parenting to justify homosexual access to children for what else -sexual exploitation.

I disagree. This political action's function isn't that far along the curve. GLSEN penetrating the school system is cutting-edge and driving for the prize. This is protecting the flanks with warm-and-fuzzy "positive" propaganda about warm-and-fuzzy "family gays".

We don't get the leathermen in chaps and the lessons in outre' sexual techniques for middle-schoolers, this time.

Quoting the article,

The gay and lesbian parents say they won't carry signs or chant slogans, but will wear rainbow-colored leis as a unifying symbol.

"The message is that gay and lesbian families are everywhere in this country," said [Jennifer] Chrisler [executive director of the Family Pride Coalition].

The leis are indeed the equivalent of political signs, just as clearly as oversized peace symbols or big, five-pointed red stars would be.

Erratum: In one of my posts upthread, I confused Family Pride with Soulforce -- Soulforce is touring college campuses right now, getting entree to campuses from administration officials in order to propagandize students face-to-face with a similar "warm and fuzzy" campaign.

Seems the gays are a little nervous about some of their polling numbers. Not too long ago, they were telling one another they'd won the debate and didn't have to engage conservatives any more.

Not really. But there wouldn't be any point in making an argument from morality to you. You'd just counter that "not everyone" shares that morality, or you can't legislate morals, or whatever.

But we can discuss it if you'd like.

Pickpockets, stumbling alcoholics in full beery cry, and practicing homosexuals strolling out with their squeezes don't make good lawn ornaments for the People's House.

No, I wouldn't allow them to participate if I were in the White House, any more than I would allow card sharks or Communist labor-organizers or underworld lawyers to participate. The demimonde has no place on the White House lawn, and that goes triple for a family event for kids. Communist cell leaders have families, too, but Communists would be personae non gratae at such an event, if it were up to me.

I cannot be forced to obey the laws of some else's God.

You are, every day.

If you don't believe that, just kill somebody or steal something, or go up to a trial court and get caught lying like a rug.

I am so happy this this country ... unlike many others ... allows us to follow our own religion. And not the state religion.

By no means am I a holy roller.

but when one has no respect for God or little if any for those who do, what are those who believe in a God to do when confronted by those who obviously have little respect for themselves as well.

Or is that idea too harsh for you to believe that boundaries are a necessary evil for societies to abide by lest they erode and decay from within?

I don't expect there will be any obvious displays of any sort at the event. That would prove to be a silly place to make a statement, altho I am sure there are some who would love the opportunity to do so. jmo

I am responding to your first retort to me ... 262.
We each choose our God.
Thankfully the US allows us to do this unlike so many countries.

The HRC, when the homosexuals are taken away, to point the cameras to the crying children and say the CHILDREN were excluded by mean republicans.

The homosexuals are no different than Saddam Hussein proping up a sign saying "baby milk faktory"

What I expect is the administration to behave civilized and polite to the extreme. I expect the MSM to push for a photo op with the homopromoters in order to imply GWBush or Laura have abandoned the core to support homosexuals.

I hope the secret service does take afirmative action to ban any homosexual reference shirts the same way ALL message shirts were banned at the state of the union.

Remember what happened when the mayor of San Francisco started marrying people and CNN was having a field day showing homosexuals kissing?

The homo-advocates were absolutly stunned at the back lash.

Their solution was to subsequently do a total MSM black out of all stories regarding defense of marriage amendments or any stories about attacks on marriage laws. Even fox joined the blackout.

No matter how they slice it homosexuals are engaging in a voluntary deviation of normal behavior. (it must have irked them for finally admit there was at MOST 2.7% homosexuals in the population TOTAL in their lawrence brief.)

Homosexuals delude themselves at the level of acceptance. This has been proven time and time again at the polls.

If you have a problem with the Easter Egg Roll, and who is allowed to attend, I suggest you send Laura Bush an email.

At least this time you preceded your rhetoric with an "if"...

If I have a problem I can do whatever I want to about it. In this case I oppose the homosexualization of society on the FR forum. Those that support the homosexualization of society are not welcome on FR...

Let me lay out my position - I oppose anyone promoting homosexuality as normal and or anyone promoting the homosexualization of society...

Those that promote the homosexualization of society in the presence of innocent children not only pursue a leftist and disordered agenda they as well psychologically abuse the children exposed to their disordered and selfish display...

If you oppose the homosexualization of society then I am sure you agree with my position.

I would suggest you confront the issue head on or move along. Enough already with the transparent rhetorical tap dancing...

Sinkspur, I can always count on you & Howlin, apparently Hildy, and a few other like-minded libs & DUmmie implants, to always take the following positions... anti-Christian, especially anti-Evangelical Christians, anti-conservative, anti-American, anti-Terri Schiavo, anti-family values, pro-abortion, pro-evolution, pro-illegal immigration, pro-Harriet Miers debacle, pro-Dubai ports deal & pro-gay. I assume you're most likely pro-McCain as well. Your lib, leftist views are in stark contrast to about 99% of FReepers. I have yet to see you in anything else other than flame wars, name calling & insults in any thread that I see you posting to... usually with multiple flame wars that you're engaged in all at the same time. You & your fellow libs & DUmmie implants should just leave FR and start your own lib, leftist site... all 6-8 of you.

"He has risen, and is among us. That is Easter, and that is why we celebrate this great feast."

Isn't it interesting how many times God punished the people for polluting their religion with pagan forms of worship stuff?

I could go on for pages with sources confirming the pagan origins of the “kirch’s” Ishtar celebration .It is well documented and a proven FACT. I would suggest you read “The Two Babylons” by Alexander Hislop, “Come OUT of Her My People” by Dr.C.J. Koster, or get Lew White’s fantastic book “Fossilized Customs” to learn more and to be informed!

Knowledge can be fun! shalom

Ping to an absolutely insane thread. Apparently, the idea is to have the white house guards test for the gay gene at the gates, to bar them; with their kids just being unfortunate collateral damage. And that's why gays should not be allowed to adopt, and should have their kids taken away from them. Their kids won't be eligible to participate in the White House Easter Egg roll!

What would be the political consequence if the TV showed images of the White House trying to find out who was gay, and bar them and their kids from the event? Why don't you give THAT some thought.

Do you always put words in other people's mouths?

No, I wouldn't allow them to participate if I were in the White House, any more than I would allow card sharks or Communist labor-organizers or underworld lawyers to participate.

Card sharks? You a fundie that doesn't believe in a friendly game of poker?

I oppose the homosexualization of society as well. However, allowing homosexual parents with their kids into the White House Egg Roll is not homosexualizing anything. It is allowing kids to be with other kids and so they can have a good time too.

You and I disagree over the admission of these children to the Egg Roll. President Bush, as the president of all the people has done the right thing by not discriminating against these children.

That is my position, and I will now move along.
