n the wake of APs report that Solicitor General Elena Kagan is President Obamas 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 Kagans 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, its 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 Foleys 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 publics right to know about potential conflicts-of-interest in the lives of their judges and lawmakers.
The public does not have a ‘right’ to know. The public does, however, have a right to reject her for concealing that information.
Obama just praised her “openness to a broad array of viewpoints”.
I think that says it all.
If Kagan is not a lesbian, she is doing an excellent impersonation.
Another step in the marginalizaiton and splitting of the country. We are being dismembered piece by piece and will be partitioned and at war within a year.
He was the “secret” square alright. Look up some of his answers.
Who taught you this? Frankly, I believe that if people were left alone by government and by Leftists who seek to persecute us for our thoughts and natural feelings, I think most folks would easily and loudly proclaim their revulsion and distrust of sexual deviants. If you can be a sick, twisted sexual deviant then you are wide open to be sick, twisted and deviant in all other areas of life as well.
or...they are just fat women :D
I think the supreme court judges should not be confirmed to the seat for life. I think there should be a time limit. In fact, I think anyone working in the house, senate, supreme court should be on time limits, this includes the STAFF, who swap one job for another with either party.
I know that's what they're trying to do, but if good and moral people don't take a stand and defend it, the results will be even worse. Evil will triumph without a fight. Most people are good at heart, they just need to take courage from others who will take the lead. That's all America lacks right now, good leadership. "We the people" are patiently waiting for that. If that leadership should appear on the scene now these morally depraved insects would shrink like roaches from the daylight.
“What, then, should be done with them? Burned at the stake or a quick and simple hanging?/s “
Either one works for me.
We should know a lot more about the candidates.

That makes my point. People need to be left alone by government and leftists. That's the whole "none of one's business" idea in the first place. I don't give a damn if she's like Hanrahan's wife (Slap Shot reference) or not. I do give a damn that she's a radical leftist.
You'd think that at age 50, she'd have it down by now....no longer 'practicing'.
Hillarious!
I’d vote for Paul Lynde in a second. At least we have good laughs.
It’s a man baby LOL!

I agree, but go after her politics and publisize her sexuality without comment. Too many people have been trained to be neutral and will be upset on any focus on her orientation.

There are many sensual sexual and hetrosexual big women.
No doubt.
she used her position at Harvard for homosexual activism and went against the military
just for this she should not get voted in then we can add how she has no clue about the bench or hardly covered law.
she could never be trusted to be fair on a homosexual case when infact she is one and is a activist for their agenda too.
