LGBT activists are calling for the resignation of a Texas city councilwoman after a secret recording capturing her making several anti-gay remarks was leaked to the media late Thursday night.

Gathering on the steps of City Hall on Friday afternoon, angered activists said comments made by council member Elisa Chan were hurtful and clamored for her immediate resignation, according to the Current.

“I was sad—after our talks, to know what was really in her heart…[And that sadness] turned to anger,” Dan Graney, co-chair of the Community Alliance for a United San Antonio reportedly said. “Now, she really needs to step down from council.”

Speak the truth about sodomy, even behind closed doors, and your life will be ruined. This councilwoman might as well go ahead and resign because she'll be fired before the week is out. Bow down to the radical sodomite agenda or it's over. Sad and disgusting how far this nation has fallen. Russia is looking better and better every day.

I think that would take a recall

I wonder if this fascist really knows what he/she/its sounds like.

The councilman has since DEFENDED her first amendment rights instead of cowering in the corner apologizing for her remarks.
Finally a politician with a backbone.

Her response:

"The comments from the staff meeting on May 21 were and are my personal opinions and thoughts as guaranteed to me by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
It is unfortunate that a former member of my District 9 Council team betrayed the trust of my staff members and me.
I will fight, I will always fight for our freedom of speech especially in a private setting. I plan to hold a press conference this week to address this issue."

Yep, this is where we are now. You can’t even say you support traditional marriage anymore without being considered a bigot. You can’t say anything about the homosexual agenda anymore. So much for free speech. Your free speech in that area is now considered hate speech and you will be silenced and destroyed.

Must be a Democrat, since the reporter studiously avoids mentioning her party affiliation.

Chinese (PRC) and their children are very socially conservative and see the family as the glue that holds society together, and when I say family I mean father and mother and children, not two mommies

That is why so many chinese come to US and join Christian churches, and China doesnt allow adoption by gays.

Personally, I think it’s just disgusting,” Chan can be heard saying in the meeting

“You can’t even say you support traditional marriage anymore without being considered a bigot”

Big whup. If you didn’t vote for Obama, you are already considered a bigot. If you just say, “so what?”, being called a bigot has no real power, since the accusation is such a joke. The real power it has is getting people to change behavior they would never normally change, because they are afraid of being called a bigot.

If we all just shrug our shoulders and say “so what?” when people call us bigots, then we have neutered this tactic of the left.

So they record some illegally, and want that person to step down?
The councilwomen should say, “freedom of speech, get over yourselves”

Force the little queers to remove her, and laugh at them when they can’t.

Tradition is pretty strong in China, but I wonder how long before they start accepting the homos too. With their shortage of women for the foreseeable future, I think it might be inevitable.

I was looking for party affiliation too, and didnt find it

The low key could mean she is Democrat, because if she was Republican it would be blasted all over mentioned 20 times

But she did speak against the Democrats sacred cow so...

They went out of their to make the TEA party sound bad: The local tea party group echoed this sentiment, reportedly saying “The River City Tea Party hereby expressed it support for our fellow conservative, District 9 Councilwoman Elisa Chan and her anti-homosexual stance.”

As if it is some sort of nazi-stance

No TEA party member i know is ‘anti-homosexual’, just against the PROMOTING of the GAY AGENDA and teaching it to children and demanding special rights

Longtime San Antonio activists Roberto Flores, left, and Dan Graney were married in Vermont in October. They’ve been together 35 years.

Graney has been active in Democratic Party politics for the past 12 years, serving as both a precinct chair and deputy voter registrar and has been a delegate at every Texas Democratic Convention since 2000

SPEAKING THE TRUTH TO satanic LIES MAY COST YOU IN YOUR EARTHLY LIFE BUT IF YOU EMBRACE THE ABHORRENT BEHAVIOR TO GOD AND ENDORSE HOMOSEXUALITY... YOU WILL GIVE UP YOUR ETERNAL LIFE. GOD lets you choose... choose wisely.

My only question is why the duplicity? Why did she tell the homos one thing during their “talks,” then say something else behind closed doors? Why not just confront them honestly and go on record as opposing their perverse agenda? Is she ashamed or intimidated by them? If so, maybe she SHOULD be removed. We don’t need any more quislings.
