Perkins said gay activists "realize that their initiatives are out of sync with the American people, so they're going to try to put a different spin on their approach."

Wow, a smart leftist.

Twenty-two gay and lesbian rights groups, smarting in the aftermath of the November election and bracing for President Bush's second inaugural, issued a unity statement Wednesday insisting they are not backing off marriage equality but will simultaneously push for other "common priorities."

Ah. Experimenting with new positions are they?

[longtermmemmory]

translation, they will intestify efforts to recruit children.

"they're going to try to put a different spin on their approach."
Hey! Maybe they could get one of their own appointed to a position in the RNC! Maybe like a "Co-Chairman" position?
You know, just a foot in the door!

22 gay, lesbian groups cults reset priorities in wake of losses

[spodefly]

These include hate crimes legislation, employment protection, immigration rights for gays and lesbian partners, overturning the ban on gays in the military and continuing battle against constitutional bans on same-sex marriage in states and Congress.

I don't personally have anything against gay people, but I absolutely despise with every fiber of my being their political agenda.

Ping.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

So they think the problem is PR. I've read that some homo-activists think they haven't been open and honest enough, while others want to start carrying Bibles and pose for "family" style photos with little smiling kids.

Either way, more or different spin is just lipstick on a pig.

Personally, I vote for the more honest and open approach, with more photos of hairy men in wedding gowns carrying Bibles and wearing multi color feather boas. That's just the ticket to convince all us knuckle dragging homophobes to vote "yes" on "gay" marriage referenda.

Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

These gay dopes helped keep GW in the White House by their pushing so hard on gay marriage. Gay marriage would be rejected even in Massachusetts on a referendum. The Massachusetts Supreme court voted for it. Not the people of Massachusetts

"so they're going to try to put a different spin on their approach"

So instead of being up-front about it, now they're going to lie about their true intentions, with a nod and a wink at their compatriots...

At one time, the queers had a pretty good game plan:

From The Overhauling of Straight America^: The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights. To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preference the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games: she likes strawberry and I like vanilla; he follows baseball and I follow football. No big deal.

At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full "appreciation" or "understanding" of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing, with a shrug of their shoulders, then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won.

Now, IMHO, they've gotten way ahead of themselves. A bad thing for them, a good thing for us.

The average American doesn't appreciate having ANY agenda thrown in their face.

As you might expect, I'm keenly emotional (ref above) on this issue :)
