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.

Or else.
Nice choice of words, no?
FMCDH!
I guess that makes those who are members of the Georgia Republican Party, activists also. Common goal: freedom.
