A spokesman for Concerned Women for America warns that yet another piece of legislation being promoted in the Democrat-led Congress would force taxpayers to subsidize immoral and dangerous behavior.
Senators Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) and Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) have introduced a bill that will extend domestic partner benefits to homosexual federal employees. The measure would allow an employee and his or her same-sex partner to be eligible for federal health benefits, the Family and Medical Leave program, long-term care, insurance, and retirement benefits. Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin), who is an open homosexual, and Tom Lantos (D-California) have introduced the bill in the House and included foreign service workers for the first time.
Matt Barber is policy director for cultural issues at Concerned Women for America in Washington, DC. He says the bill is the camel's nose in the tent for a litany of pro-homosexuality legislation, along the lines of the Employment Nondiscrimination Act.
"For the government to take a moral stance here [regarding] people who engage in homosexual conduct is essentially equating that conduct to natural sexual relations between married, heterosexual couples," states Barber. "This really introduces us to the whole idea of gay 'marriage' at the national level to federal ENDA."
Barber believes most people do not realize that all of the major benefits being sought by homosexual "couples" are already available through relatively simple means, such as power of attorney and rights of inheritance.
"It's just a matter of filling out the paperwork," he explains. "But I think the big issue here again, the big problem, is that this lends official government recognition to unhealthy and immoral behavior."
Michael Guest, an openly homosexual former U.S. ambassador to Romania under President Bush, recently resigned from the State Department following his criticism of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice for failing to "redress policies that discriminate against gay and lesbian employees."
However, the goal of the militant homosexual movement isn't about "equal rights" for homosexuals, it's about destroying the institution of marriage for the rest of us.

Mitt Romney, of course, supports benefits for same-sex couples.
You beat me to it, Z.
Romney even attacked some Democratic state legislators in Mass for NOT supporting legislation to force taxpayers to subsidize homosexual behavior among state employees.
Remember, he promised he’d be more effective than Ted Kennedy at actually implementing the homosexual agenda.
Huh. Joe Lieberman, a hero to some people here, because he supports the war...sort of like Rudi, isn't he?

Notably, the legislation is sponsored by Gordon Smith, who like Romney is a member of the Mormon church, which teaches that homosexual behavior is a sin. As with Romney, Smith’s faith apparently has little discernible impact on his public policy views.
And by Lieberman, a liberal on every issue but the war, who’s endorsed McCain.
Every once in a while Lieberman reminds you that he is a filth-mongering Democrat. Good to get the annual reminder.
Romney is responsible for homosexual marriage in Massachusetts, something that decades of 'Rats had been unable to accomplish.
Sure Mormons teach that it’s a sin . . . that’s why Romney, Smith, and Reid all support homosexual benefits. Betcha all of ‘em have their Temple pass still . . . so what does it mean to say the “Mormon Church” is against it. They’ll be against it until they are for it. Whatever keeps the tithes coming in and the real estate empire expanding. Betcha Lieberman gets lots of back pats at his synagogue as well knowing Connecticut.
And it will also serve as a wonderful precursor for a homesexual partner to have a legal actionable grounds for going after a federal pension.
I'm thinking fag congressmen better watch their a$$es on this one.
As best I've been able to tell, there is essentially zero difference between Lieberman and Rooty other than the capital letter after their names.
One needs to only look at the so-called Soviet Russian Experiment of the late 1930s and early 1940s to realize the problems for everyone.
Why federal government? Hey guys, that’s our money and I am not going to subsidize any immoral behavior.
Looks like the Queer Congress Critters are at it again.
What is the bill number? We need to be able to contact our Senators.
I don’t know, but if you call Lieberman’s office they will probably be happy to tell you.
However, the goal of the militant homosexual movement isn't about "equal rights" for homosexuals, it's about destroying the institution of marriage for the rest of us.My thoughts exactly when I read that line.
