Billionaire Tim Gill Tells DNC Delegates His Strategy to Advance the Homosexual Cause
Catholic News Agency ^ | 8/26/08

Denver, Aug 25, 2008 / 11:51 pm (CNA).- Tim Gill, a billionaire from Colorado who has funded homosexual activism throughout the United States, spoke at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered (LGBT) Delegates Caucus at the Democratic National Convention on Monday, outlining how he has worked to advance homosexual causes in U.S. politics. Gill endorsed undermining rising politicians critical of homosexual advocacy by targeting donations to benefit their opponents on the state level.

Gill, who was introduced at the caucus as one of the nation’s largest funders of LGBT “civil rights initiatives,” reportedly has spent $150 million on LGBT issues. He is the former CEO of the software publishing company Quark, Inc. and is also the founder of the Gill Action Fund, a major backer of homosexual political candidates and causes.

“Every single advance for gay rights has come at the state level,” Gill said, saying the most important thing the Democratic LGBT delegates could do is “go back and support those pro-gay state legislators, and eliminate the anti-gay state legislators.”

He encouraged the delegates to donate to state candidates out of state, especially in rural areas.

The billionaire homosexual activist also counseled the audience not to donate to unwinnable races, but rather to focus their donations where they will most likely change the outcome of elections.

“Just a little bit of money goes a long way,” he said.

If all the LGBT delegates donated fifty dollars to specially targeted races, which he numbered at no more than ten or twenty per election year, Gill said “we can get rid of them.”

By successfully changing Republican legislatures to Democratic ones, Gill claimed, “the net result is always good for gays.”

Though he was a Democrat speaking at the Democratic National Convention, Gill claimed he and the LGBT delegates were in a “battle for the soul of the Republican Party,” a party which he claimed was controlled by “a bunch of bigots.”

“The only way bigots are going to learn is if we take their power away from them,” he asserted.

He counseled the delegates to find the next Rick Santorum, the former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, and “end his career.”

Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, a Republican, who opposed homosexual causes, lost to the Democratic Sen. Robert Casey, Jr. in 2006. Gill took credit for helping bring about Santorum’s loss.

Organizers at the LGBT Caucus claimed as members at least 274 of the more than 4,000 DNC delegates attending the convention.

He made his fortune (estimated at $425 million by Forbes magazine) by founding Quark, the pioneering desktop publishing software company.

Ah, so THAT's why Quark sucks!

Yeah. I'm so glad we dropped it years ago. InDesign is far superior.

Gill is helping buy homosexual perversion's freedom and killing Freedom of Speech and conscience in Colorado. As far as what I've read, I believe people of faith are now viewed as the bad guys according to a law signed in Colorado in May and could be punished for their objections to this new law.

“SB 200 Made my lifestyle and convictions criminal”

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/Jul/03/sb-200-made-my-lifestyle-and-convictions-criminal/

From this letter to the editor:

“...During further research on this bill, I found that Cathryn Hazouri, the executive director of the ACLU, testified in committee concerning this bill: “One may practice one's religion in private; however, once a religious person comes into the public arena there are limitations in how the expression of their religion impacts other...You give up some of your rights when you go into the public square.” Wow I didn't know that. I was taught in school that these rights of free speech were “unalienable”. Apparently, gay rights trump heterosexual rights, as well as the First Amendment.”

I don't think that homosexual issues had anything to do with Santorum's loss. The Democrats put up a purportedly 'pro-life' candidate, and all those blue-collar Catholic Democrats who hadn't had someone in their own party they felt like they could support for quite a while, went back to the Democrats. Unfortunately, they didn't realize that Casey would roll with the pro-abortion Democrats as soon as he got into office, and his vaunted pro-life views went out the window.

[Romans 1 states those that practice sodomy have rejected God and His righteousness]
 
Per Colorado SB200, publishing that verse, or any other with similar message, is now illegal in Colorado businesses.
 
Gill has announced the intention to do in other states what has been done in Colorado.
 
Conservatives in other states must mobilize and stop Gill & Co. from taking over their state legislatures.
 
Appathy among Colorado Conservatives was what led to SB200's passage - don't let it happen to your state.
