n the wake of AP’s report that Solicitor General Elena Kagan is President Obama’s choice to fill the Supreme Court vacancy, Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) reiterates its call for Kagan to answer the question: ‘Are (or were) you a practicing homosexual?’
According to some reports it is an open secret that Kagan is a practicing lesbian — to which AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera responds:
If Kagan is practicing immoral sexual behavior, it reflects on her character as a judicial nominee and her personal bias as potentially one of the most important public officials in America. The popular mantra — even among conservatives — is that Kagan’s sexuality is ‘irrelevant.’ But a Justice Kagan would help decide some critically important constitutional issues dealing with: homosexual ‘marriage’ as a supposed civil right; religious liberty and freedom of conscience; and the First Amendment as applied to citizens’ right to oppose homosexuality. So it certainly matters if she, as a lifetime judge, could emerge as a crusading (openly) ‘gay’ advocate on the court.
Kagan has a strong pro-homosexual record, including, as Harvard dean, fighting to keep military recruiters off the campus because the military bars homosexuals. Americans certainly have a right to know if her activism is driven by deeply personal motivations that could undermine her fairness as a judge.
Besides, in an era of ubiquitous pro-gay messages and pop culture celebration of homosexuality, it’s ridiculous that Americans should be left guessing as to whether a Supreme Court nominee has a special, personal interest in homosexuality.
Given the important homosexual-related issues coming before the Supreme Court , Kagan should say so if she has a personal interest in lesbianism. Similarly, any legislator — especially one representing a conservative district — should come clean on the homosexuality question particularly if it is an ‘open secret’ like Mark Foley’s homosexuality (years before the page scandal) or becomes the subject of wide speculation.
We appeal to Kagan and all potential “hiding-in-the-closet” public officials to answer the question: ‘Are (or were) you a practicing homosexual or do you consider yourself homosexual (gay)?’ Homosexuals’ privacy interests simply do not outweigh the public’s right to know about potential conflicts-of-interest in the lives of their judges and lawmakers.
Kagan is a sex pervert...morally unfit for the SCOTUS.
Does anyone else remember, about a month ago, CBS news had a story on their website stating that she is lesbian. The Obama administration successfully pressured CBS news to take down that story. They didn’t want it publicized that one of the top Supreme Court candidates was lesbian.
So which is it, gay commuinity? Are we here, we’re queer, and all that? Do we want to publicly celebrate our diversity? Or do you want to stay in the closet?
She is openly lesbian. The only question is really whether this will be talked about.
Looks like a dude to me.
exactly not one media outlet has said about her being a homosexual but even worse how she has used her position at Harvard to push the homosexual agenda.
she’s a flaming homosexual activist, a flaming socialist, a baby killer supporter and has no clue what it takes to be a judge
imagine is Bush had got a woman , young, never been a judge and was a anti abortion activist,
the media and the left would be going nuts right now and I guarantee the left plus the rats would be making statements right now that she does not deserve to be nominated and that Bush needs to get someone else to stop wasting peoples time.
... Janet Reno take 2.
You’d think, what with all that “gay pride” and all, she’d be forthright about it, wouldn’t you?
Leftists know that their enlightened ideology is superior,
and they know that the “benighted” just aren’t smart enough to accept it,
so they lie and obfuscate.
even worse is that she is a homosexual activist who used her position at Harvard.
that in itself disqualifies her as she cannot be fair when it comes to homosexual cases before her.
add the fact she has no clue about being a judge, a flaming socialist
They only want to publicly celebrate diversity when they are outing a Republican or a conservative.
Senator Sessions was just on the news making some critical comments about her banning military recruiters because she opposed ‘Don’t Ask Don’t Tell’. Over 1000 soldiers died during the time she tried to ban military recruiters. This looks hopeful because if she is questioned on this topic, it is definitely going to be relevant if she has a female ‘husband’ and was herself unfit for military service because of conduct (and not some benign physical characteristic).
Just look at her.... Is there any doubt? LOL!!!
So is 0bagger and many of his down-your-throat appointees. No pun intended.
I don’t even know of another lesbian who would touch that.
They aren't "lesbians", they are men trapped in the bodies of women. They are perfectly normal, seem to be very good at law enforcement type jobs, and deserve to be in powerful positions of judgment over the rest of us insane people.
