Hillary Clinton: Homosexuality is not Immoral.

National Journal Hotline ^ | NA | NA

Appearing on Bloomberg News, Sen. Hillary Clinton:

"Well I've heard from a number of my friends and I've certainly clarified with them any misunderstanding that anyone had, because I disagree with General Pace completely.

I do not think homosexuality is immoral. But the point I was trying to make is that this policy of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is not working. I have been against it for many years because I think it does a grave injustice to patriotic Americans who want to serve their country.

And so I have called for its repeal and I'd like to follow the lead of our allies like, Great Britain and Israel and let people who wish to serve their country be able to join and do so. And then let the uniform code of military justice determine if conduct is inappropriate or unbecoming. That's fine. That's what we do with everybody. But let's not be eliminating people because of who they are or who they love."

Ladies and Gentlemen, do you now understand why the media is so desperate to set up a race between these two candidates?

"The heroes are the folks that we probably won't see in Time or Newsweek", said Donna Red Wing of the Human Rights Campaign.... Maybe folks like Williamson Henderson, who was inside The Stonewall and arrested after the first night of the rebellion (sic).... He'll never forget the night he helped give birth to the Gay Rights movement. Stonewall helped unite Gays and lesbians, eventually growing into a powerful force, felt in all reaches of the national spectrum. "Stonewall was the first time I saw in a public way my GLBT community fighting back", said Donna. And, from the S.V.A.'s Jeremiah Newton: "Yes, we were part of the Stonewall Rebellion. Yes, we survived. Yes, we're still here.... It starts with one person standing up for their rights and the rights of their loved ones. That's Stonewall! It's an amazing, amazing story...." reflected Jeremiah. Do they consider themselves 'heroes'? "Well, I never regarded myself as one", Williamson said. "None of us regarded ouselves as 'heroes'. We were all victims of happenstance", he said. "But, after all these years, I think, yes, in fact, we are 'heroes'".

Obituary of Harry Hay's

Henry “Harry” Hay, the founder of the modern American gay movement, died on October 24, 2002 at age 90.

(snip)

Hay devoted his entire life to progressive politics, and in 1950 founded a state-registered foundation network of support groups for gays known as the Mattachine Society.

(snip)

Hay was also a co-founder, in 1979, of the Radical Faeries, a movement affirming gayness as a form of spiritual calling. A rare link between gay and progressive politics

(snip)

“Harry was one of the first to realize that the dream of equality for our community could be attained through visibility and activism,” said David M. Smith of the Human Rights Campaign in Washington, DC. “When you were in a room with him, you had the sense you were in the company of a historic figure.”

(snip)

“Mattachine” took its name from a group of medieval dancers who appeared publicly only in mask, a device well understood by homosexuals of the 1950s. Hay devised its secret cell structure (based on the Masonic order) to protect individual gays and the nascent gay network. Officially co-gender, the group was largely male -- the Daughters of Bilitis, the pioneering lesbian organization, formed independently in San Francisco in 1956.

(snip)

Though some criticized the Mattachine movement as insular, it grew to include thousands of members in dozens of chapters, which formed from Berkeley to Buffalo, and created a lasting national framework for gay organizing. Mattachine set the stage for rapid civil rights gains following 1969’s Stonewall riots in New York City.

NAMBLA emerged from the tumultuous political atmosphere of the 1970s, particularly from the leftist wing of the Gay Liberation movement which followed the 1969 Stonewall Riots in New York City. Although discussion of gay adult-minor sex did take place, gay rights groups immediately following the Stonewall Riot were more concerned with issues of police harassment, nondiscrimination in employment, health care and other areas.

From that letter, NOTE: Rev. Magora E. Kennedy STONEWALL Veterans' Association S.V.A. Chaplain

The Amsterdam News, a weekly New York newspaper, is leading the way with articles like "Black New Yorkers: 'Gayest great-grandmother in the country,'" (August 14, 2003) which profiles the life of Rev. Magora Kennedy, a former Black panther, a mother of 5 and grandmother of 15, and an out lesbian whose activism dates back to Stonewall. Special attention is also paid to youth issues in "Kids with gay parents talk about their families" (May 12-May 18, 2005).

Of course this candidate for an asylum would think homosexuality is okay. She's been practicing for most of her life. Who is the traveling companion who shares her room?

[winodog]

I am not positive but I believe it was a form of Methodist. The form that allows homos.

[SoldierMedic]

Glad you enjoy them! VD has its funny moments.

She sheds her morality like a Chamelion.

One must have morality before one can shed morality....

I guess we now know why billy boy dips his stick elsewhere so often....she's to busy with her 'girl' friends......

"Hillary is stating in no uncertain terms that the Bible doesn't work for her ... this won't help her at all."

I thought that was clear long ago when She and Bill were in Haiti performing Voodoo rituals and eating baby flesh over at their pal Aristide's place, and enjoying the special after dinner show of 'rimming' put on especially for them.

"There can be only one homosexual!"

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

(In my best Cartman voice) She's coming out of the closet!!!

[goldstategop]

Liberals are non-judgmental of deviant or immoral behavior. They literally see nothing wrong with it. But they are judgmental of people critical of or who disapprove of that behavior.

[mmanager]

Why would it not be with her? She has no quality's of a moral person.

Rudy feels the same on homo's, abortion and guns.

Would someone please tell me the difference between these two?

[Unam Sanctam]

Of course if her like had their way, it would be not only immoral but criminal for anyone to voice General Pace's opinion.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Would someone please tell me the difference between these two?

I'm really not a big fan of his, but if you don't know the difference between Rudy and Her Heinousness, you shouldn't be voting...

[Beckwith]

Did she utter this absurdity with a straight face?
