Activists want to bar ex-gay, other speakers critical of homosexuality from GOP podium.
How’s this for chutzpah? The homosexual activist group Human Rights Campaign, which has endorsed John Kerry for president, is demanding that the Republican Party suppress any speeches or performances at the GOP convention by people that they don’t like.
That’s right. Republican strategists are supposed to take advice from a lobby group that calls the Defense of Marriage Act “hate-filled” legislation, even though both houses of Congress passed it overwhelmingly in 1996 and Bill Clinton signed it. HRC also contends that ordinary people, such as the 71 percent of Missourians who voted to pass a state constitutional amendment to protect marriage, are bigots.
If the Republicans actually listen to HRC, then they’ve been drinking too long at the wet bar of their own homosexual activist group, Log Cabin Republicans, which is dedicated to making the GOP safe for sodomy.
HRC says in a press release that the GOP specifically should muzzle Christian entertainer Donnie McClurkin, Mormon book publisher Sheri Dew and Michigan pastor Bishop Keith Butler because of their “inflammatory” comments about “GLBT Americans” in other venues. GLBT stands for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered.
We don’t recall HRC having any problem with the lineup at the Democratic convention a few weeks ago. They didn’t even mind hearing from the Rev. Al Sharpton, who incited a race riot in Crown Heights, New York, that left a young Jewish man dead, and concocted the fraudulent Tawana Brawley “rape” story that a court ruled had slandered innocent men. Sharpton, you see, is for “gay marriage,” so he’s apparently a fine addition to any podium.
