Pennsylvania Official Charged With Using Position to Push Homosexual Agenda
By Allie Martin April 6, 2006
(AgapePress) - The American Family Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA) is accusing the Human Relations Commission in that state of overstepping its stated purpose and goals to promote pro-homosexual causes.
The pro-family group charges that Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission Chairman Stephen Glassman has been using his position to promote homosexuality as a normal lifestyle. Glassman, who is homosexual, is accused of encouraging municipalities to go beyond the law to extend special rights to individuals based solely on sexual orientation.
Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of PA, says Glassman should not be allowed to go outside the boundaries of the Commission's stated agenda, as she feels he has done lately. "He's been very active in opposing our marriage protection amendment," she notes, for example.
Also, only a couple of weeks ago, Glassman actually addressed a group of ten homosexual groups in the Lebanon Valley College, Gramley points out. "Those homosexual groups, of course, are working against passage of our marriage protection amendment," she says, "and Steve Glassman was there in his official capacity as chairman of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission."
Glassman is "using his position as the chairman of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission as a bully pulpit to change policies in Pennsylvania that are not mandated by the law," the pro-family leader contends, "and it's not in the mission statement of the Commission."
She feels this is an abuse of office that calls for official censure.
Gramley believes Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell should intervene on behalf of state taxpayers by putting Glassman's pro-homosexual advocacy in check. She is asking Rendell to rein in the Human Relations Commission chairman's use of the agency in efforts to normalize homosexuality and derail the proposed marriage protection amendment.

Oh, I know. Just a bit of levity.
done with that rope yet?
She is asking Rendell to rein in the Human Relations Commission...
Do not rein it in -kick it to the curb!
Reality 101 lesson in moral relative liberal terminology:
Human Relations Commission = Leftist Thought Police
The whole ambiguous "Human Relations" premise is flawed from the outset -agenda is designed in! LOL
Thanks for the ping!
You're welcome.
2% of the population having this much power=dictatorship of the minority, the first sign of Marxism.
Don't hold your breath.
Pennsylvanians on this board should all get out to work for the defeat of Ed Rendell by working for the victory Lynn Swann!!!!!
I got the rope. Let's go to Harrisburg.
It is not the first sign of marxism, but it is a sign of the New Left's power to use unelected power in the State to dictate to the public.
MA officials do that ALL the time! Superintendents and Principals have gotten in on the action, too, pushing the 'tolerance' agenda on their schools.
