Judy Baar Topinka: Pro-Homosexual Activist 

As she seeks to become the next governor of Illinois, it is crucial, now more than ever, that Illinois voters understand that Republican gubernatorial candidate Judy Baar Topinka holds extremely liberal values that are contrary to those embraced by the vast majority of Illinois Republicans. In fact, Judy Baar Topinka’s pro-abortion and pro-homosexual positions are in keeping with the Democratic Party Platform—and opposed to the national Republican Party platform to which she would seem to owe allegiance.

Consider the following facts:

Every year, Judy Baar Topinka fields a contingent at the Chicago “Gay Pride” parade in the “Boys Town” area of Chicago. As can be seen from the above video showing footage from the 2005 “Pride” parade, these events feature nudity and lewd public displays—even though young children march in the parade and attend as observers. In 2004, the parade, police simply stood by as two homosexual men engaged in a sex act directly in front of them (the men were showing their contempt for Christian protesters, who were being protected by the police). Topinka’s current website contains nothing about her very enthusiastic “gay” advocacy: funny how her “gay pride” disappears during election season in a Republican primary.

In her role as Illinois State Treasurer, Topinka arranged for $10 million in taxpayer-subsidized, low-interest loans to fund the “Center on Halsted,” a homosexual “Community Center” constructing a new facility in the “Boys Town” section of Chicago. Topinka was among the politicians--with shovels in hand--who attended the Center’s groundbreaking ceremony. Across the nation, similar “gay” community centers have served as centers for homosexual activism and have hosted highly offensive groups, such as those espousing sadomasochism and advocating homosexuality and gender confusion to young people.

Perhaps the most dangerous activity that the Center on Halsted runs is its “Youth Program,” wherein practicing adult homosexuals “assist” children starting at thirteen years of age to “explore” the possibility that they too, are young homosexuals (or trans-gendered). The youth program—open to people ages 13-24 (i.e., homosexual men)--also offers children “free and confidential AIDS testing” and “workshops” on “safer sex, sexuality, relationships and STD/HIV prevention.” Critics point out that the so-called “counseling” offered by these practicing adult homosexuals is entirely one-sided and serves to confirm impressionable youth in a dangerous lifestyle.

Beyond “gay youth” programs, the Center on Halsted affiliates with: the radical leftist group Gay Liberation Network, whose leaders protested outside the venerable and respect Moody Church in Chicago a “House of Hate” and which compared the Boy Scouts of America to racist fringe groups; Dignity, a pseudo Catholic organization which embraces pro-homosexual beliefs completely at odds with the teaching of the Catholic Church; the pro-transsexual group Illinois Gender Advocates; and radical groups like PFLAG (Parents, Family and Friends of Lesbians and Gays), which demonize Christians or anyone who publicly adheres to traditional Biblical teachings proscribing homosexual behavior as sinful. Click HERE to view the Center on Halsted’s “Community Links.”

The Center’s website links to (and therefore promotes) Chicago’s “Leather Archives and Museum (LA&M)” in its “Community Resources” section. LA&M proudly displays images and photographs of men and women engaging in various perverse and aberrant homosexual acts that decency dictates not be described on StopTopinka.com. LA&M features a painting by John Larsen titled “The Last Supper, a Gay Perspective.” The painting depicts Christ and the twelve disciples as leather clad homosexuals drinking alcohol (presumably in a “gay” bar). Judas is seen “flipping” Christ “the bird.” Despite this open mocking of Christianity, the Center on Halsted maintains its link to the Leather Archives (because this perverse “museum” is a part of Chicago’s “gay” community).

Rick Garcia

Rick Garcia - Equality Illinois

Judy Baar Topinka was and presumably still is a proud ally of Rick Garcia, who heads up Equality Illinois, the states leading homosexual lobby group. Garcia recently called the organizers of the Protect Marriage Illinois effort—to place a referendum on the ballot calling on the General Assembly to pass an amendment protecting marriage as one-man, one-woman—“rank bigots.” (That qualifies Garcia as an anti-religious bigot.) Topinka appeared at Equality Illinois fundraisers (she was once photographed dancing with Garcia at one such event) and supported their goal of passing a “sexual orientation” law in Illinois, which took effect January 1st of this year. However, now that Topinka is running for Governor, there is nothing about “gay rights” on her campaign website and she was strangely absent at the most recent Equality Illinois fundraiser.

Judy Baar Topinka knows that her avid support for homosexual and “trans-gender” rights is not widely popular in Illinois, and could especially cost her support from hundreds of thousands of conservatives who vote Republican in Illinois primaries. That’s why she is now hiding her “gay” advocacy from the public. Despite her cowardly obfuscations today, her homosexual activist friends will certainly count her as an important ally if she becomes governor of Illinois.

Considering all of the above, again we remind you…

These are Judy Baar Topinka’s Values…

And again ask you… are they yours?

Ah, now THAT is high on my list of things to look for in the Illinois governor's race. She's a good ol' boy in the Illinois GOP, and I won't be voting for her because of that.

I just knew you'd see the light ;^)

One of her key backers is Big Bob Kjellander, our Illinois RNC Committeeman, the guy who accepted an $809,000 fee to lobby for and place Blago's $10BB debt issue.

This election is going to end up like far too many others; there will be someone I can support in the primary, but no one I want to support in the general election.

I'm especially impressed with their "Youth Outreach" program.

That's why we need to get Brady out -- so as not to split the conservative vote.

God expects us to use the brains he gave us.
Oberweis is the only one who can win the primary.

If we lose this because conservatives split their vote for a couple spoilers, they have only themselves to blame.... not the MSM or the combine or anyone else.

Oberweis is the only one who can win the primary.

Brady doesn't have enough money to "catch up". He is just too far behind.

Gidwitz has the money but lacks charisma... and the right side of a couple issues.

Oberweis has the money to run another time ... against Senator Durbin.

Go Brady Go!

As I said, for all of his good qualities, he needs money and to be recognized. Right now, he's treading water

If he continues to poll at 10% and less consistently, then I will be sticking with Oberweis. No point casting the Brady vote if the result is a better-than-expected 15% showing coupled with a Judy Baar Topinka Primary victory. With 24 days left, he'd better make a move soon.

I did the Alan Keyes thing. I've helped the campaigns of several good conservatives in Illinois, including Jim Durkin. I'm not willing to let Judy Baar win on a split vote, when there is really nothing wrong with Oberweis.

P.S. Please don't buy into the liberal media depictions of Oberweis on "flip-flopping." He never did. Even on his website from 2002, you can still pull up his issues section and see he stands EXACTLY where he stands now, and even addresses the media B.S.

Like I said, Brady is great. But I won't go down with the ship this time. Not when Blago and Lisa Madigan are suing Catholic charities for not offering abortions, and not while they are criminalizing the "Freedom of Conscience" act. No way. Brady either makes a significant gain, or I won't even consider that vote.

Let me ask this.

If March 18th comes along and Brady is polling at 13%, Topinka at 31%, and Oberweis at 28% - do you still cast the vote for Brady?

That's all I'm saying. I would not vote for the "lesser of two evils" to win. This is not one of those cases; Oberweis is a fine candidate.

All I ask is that when the times comes, if Brady is reasonably out-of-reach, put the vote where it will make the difference.

I have spoken with Mr. Oberweis on several occasions during his omosis from liberal to conservative. I plan to personally ask him what caused him to change his position on abortion-rights. I want to know.

There has been a significant error made in the way she spells her name. Here is the correct spelling:
Judy Baar Topinko

Oh, and don't forget to donate lots of money to the various Republican organizations (RNC, etc.) so they can give some of your donation to this uber RINO.

I have spoken with Mr. Oberweis on several occasions during his two failed polical attempts.

I plan to personally ask him what caused him to change his position on abortion-rights. I want to know the truth before I would ever consider supporting him. He did quite about-face from my conversations with him.

As far as I'm concerned, Topinka was responsible for the demise of Jack Ryan. She could have stood up for Jack when the going got tough. The end result was Barack Obama's election. I'll never forgive her for that.
