Nothing personal but from a curiosity standpoint, why do you peruse gay web sites? Seems odd for a non-queer.
The only position that you mentioned that has any "Power and authority" was the Canadian Ambassador and the person appointed to that position was former Governor of Mass that that religious nut Baldwin claims is pro-homo, but not gay himself. The others are low level staffers. Have you ever heard of any of these people other than in Chuck Baldwin writeups or from literature from either the Rightwing Religious Police or gay sources? I sure havent. I doubt these individuals are even "gay-activists" as he states. To him, anyone who is a member of the Log Cabin Republicans whether they are active or not is a "activist" like those from "Queer Nation" or whatever.
Face it, five to ten percent of the population is gay. When you are filling tens of thousands of positions in the federal bueracray, you are bound to appoint some gays. With the exception of the AIDS position, its doubtful that the individuals sexual preference ever came up in the the employment process. I sure dont see Cheeney sitting there asking each applicant who he sleeps with. I sure wouldnt want to work for any administration that would be stupid enough to ask such questions.
When Reagan was asked about his acceptance of campaign contributions from the Log Cabin Republicans, he said he was willing to accept contributions, etc. from anyone who wanted to promote HIS AGENDA. Bush is the same. If someone is willing to work on his compassionate conservative agenda and/or homeland security agenda, then he could care less what they do on their own time.
I don't. The ten or so gay appointments by your idol George Bush were not taken from a "gay website". I think paranoia maybe setting in with you. Sure you're not "queer"? You get soooo defensive of Bush elevating gays in positions of authority.
"The only position that you mentioned that has any "Power and authority" was the Canadian Ambassador and the person appointed to that position "
Ah, now we're going to MINIMIZE gay positions appointed by Bush. What a hoot! ALL positons that Bush appoints ARE positions of power and authority. Any ONE of those appointments has more clout, power and authority than you'll EVER have well unless you're gay - then maybe ile George will consider you. You see brilliance has nothing to do with it. It's all about your sexual persuasian and it wouldn't shock me if you're a closet gay.
"Face it, five to ten percent of the population is gay."
Fact is 1-2% of the population is gay. And with all the people to chose form ole George picks folks that can't figure out who they should be sexually attracted to. Heavy duty denial of WHO they are made to be attracted to is a tad scarey. There's no telling what other issues allude them. They are NOT normal nor trustworthy. Sorry, if you're gay, that applies to you as well.
