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.
she’s a homosexuals activist who used her position while at Harvard and for this she should step down from this nomination.
her activism is indeed very important
HUH
discretion on her sexuality
she used her position at Harvard to further the homosexual agenda and damn right this needs to be looked at and spoken about as if she does this then how can anyone expect her to be fair when a homosexuals case comes before her
she would not and this is damn right important to talk about
Have you or have you not had sexual relations with THAT WOMAN?
matters a lot if she is a lesbian and she showed this by using her position at Harvard by her activism
she would never be fair in a court room for a homosexual case
as conservatives we feel the best person for the job is based on how is he or she qualified not because she wear straps ons for her wife
Have you ever discussed pubic hair and coke cans?
it also plays into her mental state and anyone who is having sex with the same sex is certainly not right in the head regardless if a conservative is friends with one at the office or neighbor
pointing out her homosexuals activism is indeed to be told and no one should in their right mind vote for her
What, then, should be done with them? Burned at the stake or a quick and simple hanging?/s
Nah, burning someone for a curable disease is not a good use of resources.
First we need to recognize (again) that homosexuality is a mental illness.
Then we need to make reparative therapy (either secular or religious, both have been proven effective) more widely available.
AND we need to stop enabling them to remain ill. A practicing homosexual should be shunned from society and totally barred from any contact with children.
In order to eradicate any disease one of the first steps is to stop the spread of it.
Perhaps one day you'll see that the two go hand in hand.
