Bush Appoints Four More Homosexual Activists
President Bush has appointed four more Republican homosexual activists to posts in his administration, a homosexual newspaper reports.
The four men are all active with the Republican gay activist group Log Cabin Republicans, according to the Washington Blade. They are, according to the Blade:
Asian affairs expert Mark Groombridge as a State Department special assistant to John Bolton, Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security. Groombridge a member of Log Cabin Republicans of D.C., and the homosexual libertarian group Gays & Lesbians for Individual Liberties is a China specialist whose doctoral dissertation examined the restructuring of Chinas state-owned enterprises, the Blade reported; Stephen Fong, former president of Log Cabin Republicans of San Francisco, to a post with the Federal Transit Administration, an arm of the Department of Transportation; Tod Burnett and Jim Wiggins to positions at the Environmental Protection Agency. Burnett is a former advisor to liberal Republican and former Los Angeles mayor Richard Riordan. The Blade reports that the White House did not mention the homosexuality of the latest four in officially announcing their appointments by the president.
White House press secretary Ari Fleischer has said that a persons sexual orientation is irrelevant as long as he has the job qualifications for a position. But pro-family critics contend that the administration is pandering to homosexual activist Republicans and thus helping to mainstream homosexuality. Ironically, the Log Cabin Republicans strongly supported John McCain, and not Bush, during the GOP presidential primary, and even ran campaign ads against Bush.
Bush senior advisor Karl Rove is engaged in a political tightrope act reaching out simultaneously to GOP homosexual activists and to the partys conservative, pro-family grassroots, who oppose homosexuality as sinful.
Roves high-wire act may be getting more perilous. The Blade reports that homosexual columnist Hastings Wyman (who first reported the four gay appointments), citing Republican sources, says that at least 15 more gay appointees are either in the Bush administration pipeline or are slowly working their way out of the closet.

I didnt know until you told me. And if I saw them tomorrow I wouldnt know them from a hole in the ground. You say its the same as wearing a sign. Are you telling me that you are like the kid in The Sixth Sense who saw dead people but you see queer people. Wow, have you sold the movie rights?
Gee, I bet you still believe what you hear on CNN too.
And you KNOW most, if not all, Log Cabin Republicans participate in and support these activities? Remember now, God says you shall not bear false witness.
I thought you were a Bush-Bot? Didn't you jump all over me a couple of weeks ago for calling him Bubba-2?
BTW,Bubba-2 is right to hire these people IF he thinks they are fully qualified to hold those positions. It's not like they are priests or preachers. OOOPS!
Again, I dont read gay newpapers but apparently you do.
How is this normalizing homosexuality in any way? These people will dissapear into the woodwork,and never seen again by the public once they start work. None are high-profile public positions.
BTW,has Bubba-2 replaced the homosexual ambassador to Belgium? If not,why not? THAT was something worthy of all the negative attention,not some dweeb or geek being hired to shuffle papers in some bureaucracy.
Yeah right ... this was precisely the line taken by those who sought appease with "co-existence" the homosexual activists within the Catholic Church 40 years ago.
Just in case nobody has ever told you this,you are insane.
They apparently are referred to as homosexual 'activists' which means they're doing something more than just being quietly homosexual and keeping their sex lives to themselves. I'm fairly tolerant of gays I think ---if they just keep that aspect of their lives to themselves. If they are "in your face" about it and working on their own agenda then I think we can have an opinion.
There has always been homosexual priests. The only thing is nobody would admit to or talk about it 40 years ago.
Given the increasing reliance on a battery of "psychological" tests (rather than recognition of one's comporting to and defense of Catholic teaching), you don't think the 'normalizing' of homosexuality by the DSM-IV as other than a disorder?
There's always been premarital sex and those who chose birth control among Catholics as well. The difference was that these things weren't "normalized" before the revolution but rightly and consistently recognized as immoral.
To be honest, as long as they are good at their jobs, I don't care what their sexual orientation is. I just dont want to have to approve of it.
Bush is the President of all Americans, not just the born-again Christians. Let me ask this: must Bush only appoint heterosexuals in a monogamous married relationship? Fornication and adultery are just as evil as homosexuality (though I will grant that homosexuality disgusts me far more). Divorce aint cool either.
This is a civil, secular society, not the church. We cannot expect to impose our beliefs upon a society that hates them. We can only work to change the hearts of men through evangelism.
I do have a problem if as it is noted above that this is meant to indicate the approval of the President for a Homosexual agenda.If this were NOT simply a political pander the WH would never have leaked that they were homosexual.. This was an intentional choice , if this was Clinton the crys would be loud an clear..But this President hears barely a wimper from the Kool aide crowd.
I would bet you do not have children in public schools.
If you did, you'd understand why parents are appalled at the smug, pervasive, destructive homosexual agenda that permeates every moment of the school day.
It's bad enough that Washington's tentacles reach down to my kid's playground, without me having to worry those tentacles are lurking in the bushes as well as the classroom.
