MORE HOMOSEXUAL POLITICIANS REVEAL NEW FACE OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY

MORE HOMOSEXUAL POLITICIANS REVEAL NEW FACE OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY Laird, Leno Are First Openly Gay California State Assemblymen

Sacramento – Two homosexual men have become the first openly gay assemblymen in the California State Legislature. At a State Capitol ceremony on Monday, John Laird of Santa Cruz and Mark Leno of San Francisco were sworn in as the first male homosexual legislators in California history.

“The Democratic Party should rename itself the homosexual drag queen party, because that’s what it has become in recent years,” said Randy Thomasson, executive director of Campaign for California Families, a statewide nonprofit, nonpartisan family issues leadership organization. “Sadly, the radical gay activists are intent upon taking away the rights of average citizens. More homosexual activists as politicians mean more attacks on the sanctity of marriage, religious freedom, parental rights and the Boy Scouts.”

Increasing the self-proclaimed “Lavender Caucus” to five members, Laird and Leno join three previously-elected lesbian activist legislators: Jackie Goldberg of Los Angeles (Assembly), Christine Kehoe of San Diego (Assembly) and Sheila James Kuehl of Santa Monica (state Senate).

In recent years, the California Democratic Party (CDP) has become a loud advocate of homosexuality, bisexuality and transsexuality. Since 1999, Democrat state legislators have passed, and Governor Gray Davis has signed, more than 15 bills promoting the gay and transsexual agenda. Both the California Democratic Party and numerous California state and federal Democratic politicians opposed the Protection of Marriage Initiative (Proposition 22) on the March 2000 ballot. That same year, at the Democratic Party’s national convention in Los Angeles, many party members booed the Boy Scouts for being allowed to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

In April 2001, the CDP passed a resolution officially supporting “civil unions” or Vermont-style homosexual marriage. In October 2001, Governor Gray Davis signed legislation awarding more than a dozen rights of marriage to homosexual “domestic partners.” During the recently-concluded 2002 election, Art Torres, the chairman of the California Democratic Party, tried to force the removal of a radio ad which educated listeners about the gay agenda targeting schoolchildren.

“The homosexual and transsexual activists have hijacked the California Democratic Party and programmed the minds of Democrat legislators to push and promote their radical agenda, even to the point of overturning the people’s vote on marriage," Thomasson said. “More homosexual legislators will mean more of their special interest agenda. This is bad news for the rights of parents and average citizens.”

Bigotry? Hmmmm. As a matter of fact, if the B-F'rs kept their bedroom habits to themselves instead of attempting to shove it up all non-fag a$$es (a little B-F'r humor there - VERY little), I don't think there would be a problem.

I don't tell anyone else how to live, and I resent it when someone else tries to tell ME how to live. Note to B-F'rs: Keep your personal life personal (as in "private"), stop your poorly concealed proselyting through the public education system and by taking over the state capitols of nearly every state in the union, and "bigotry" would cease.

It's the B-F'rs, by definition, who are "backward" (more bad B-F'r humor), and who hate all the rest of the population which is NOT ignorant, as shown by the fact that they don't need deviant bedroom habits to define themselves!

"They should be scorned for their foolish politics, not for their taste in bed."

Unfortunately, the two are linked.
Their politics and their choice of "partners" often are inseperable.

My old unit had this to say about B-F-r's:
"We've been in this trench together for seven weeks. Does that mean we're married by commonlaw? I wanna hold your hand."

Usually said with a dead-pan face and followed up with :
"That wouldn't happen to be bordering Don't ask don't tell, now? Would it?"
Clinton, what a farce.

"Unfortunately, the two are linked."

True, but not in a necessary way.

Plenty of straight people hold perfectly idiotic and communistic ideas about all sorts of things that are matters of public policy.

It's not as if the gays are the only folks with dangerous and moronic views.

They can be defeated on public, political grounds, and that's the way to do it.

IMHO.

Yes, but the gays have their lifestyle an dtheir poitics linked so darn badly.
And they go to such ridiculous limits to try and get approval of their lifestyle and have it accepted.
And their form of acceptance means to be able to cram their lifestyle down everyone's throat, recruit children, and be an elevated protected political class.

I'm agreeing with you on the politics here. I'm just not sure it CAN be 'unlinked' due to the behaviors shown.

HIV will eventually get all the sodomites, they can't help themselves with no morals or common sense. Sex is between a man and a woman and all this crap about condems should be described as safe sodomy by the deviants. Bwwaaa haaaha haa.

Fascinating history.

To a world which divided human sexuality between penetrator and penetrated, Judaism said, “You are wrong — sexuality is to be divided between male and female.” To a world which saw women as baby producers unworthy of romantic and sexual attention, Judaism said “You are wrong — women must be the sole focus of men's erotic love.”

Why?, someone might ask.

Unless the sex drive is appropriately harnessed (not squelched — which leads to its own destructive consequences), higher religion could not have developed.

As is typical, religious and moral pronouncements were made by religious leaders to further their own power. “Let’s harness sex so religion can develop. In that way, people will have to come to us to know what they can and cannot do.”

Moreover, the Bible lists homosexuality together with child sacrifice among the “abominations” practiced by the peoples living in the land about to be conquered by the Jews. The two are certainly not morally equatable, but they both characterized a morally primitive world that Judaism set out to destroy.

The pronouncements of the holy men also justified military incursions into foreign lands so as to increase their power.

The more this happens, the more people will be forced to leave the Democrat Party because they will not be a partner to this sort of perversion. So long as we do not get fooled by the nonsense espoused by the "Log Cabin Republicans", all of those votes will become ours.

Uh, let's just keep remarks like that limited to Free Republic, okay? That's all we need is to have you speaking your piece on the evening news. Folks would form a line to support gay rights.

I served in the Military. Those comments are curtesy of Clinton's "Don't ask Don't tell." policy which made gays join the military in droves thinking it was an open all you can eat meat market.
They figured they were protected and could get away with making passes at everyone.
NOT a wise and informed decision on their part.

That's fine. Our history is our history. But to think that the moral pronouncements offered in the article are somehow justified because of a god and not because of a desire for power is ridiculous.

Especially when you consider that the military is booting them out at historic levels. I've never been in the military, but assumed that gays wanted to enlist because of the benefits or as an act of patriotism. But I'll defer to your first-hand observations that gays join up for the nooky.

I get antsy when I see psycho posts like some made here. It's my observation that straight people don't support "gay rights" in order to further the gay agenda. They do it as a sympathetic response to a particularly horrific deed done to gay people. Wyoming now protects gays as a class because of what happened to Matt Sheppard. Even Alabama toyed with the idea (but dropped it) of extending civil protections to gays after a gay man was set on fire.

Did you know that there were six "anti-gay" proposals in the U.S. last month, and that five were defeated? My gut tells me that this is because the "anti-gay" side of the debate was dominated by shrew harpies who breathlessly blurt out "The homosexuals want your children!" an approach that attracts no one to the cause. We could "hearts and minds" the middle with calm, reasoned, intelligent arguments, I think.
