UPDATE: Feel free to email the anti-gay Family Policy Network and crow a little over all the open, practicing homosexuals working for senior Republicans in the Bush campaign, Cheney campaign, White House, Bush administration, Congress, and RNC. Grand Old Party, my ass - try Gay Old Party! And be sure to ask them why Ken Mehlman is afraid to say he's straight. Has political correctness gone so far that it's now not PC for a Republican partly leader to 'admit' he's straight? :-)
I will say this, Allen has been surrounded by gay staff since he was governor. And they had very senior positions, and to the best of my knowledge were always men. For a married, family values, straight guy, he sure does seem to like having gay men around.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This is from the Virginia family values group Family Policy Network. They're the one's the American Family Association quoted yesterday in their daily update, telling conservative politicians to fire their gay staff ( you can read more on that further down in the blog).
From the Family Policy Network:
It’s no secret that George Allen is a friend to the homosexual lobby in Washington, D.C. This year, Allen broke a campaign promise he made to pro-family conservatives by voting to grant special victim status to people who engage in homosexual sex acts. Earlier in the year, he signed a “non-discrimination” pledge for homosexual activists who then used it to lobby for the same among Virginia’s General Assembly members.
During the fall campaign season, Allen publicly chastized now Senator-Elect Mel Martinez (R-FL) for criticizing a liberal opponent for supporting the Log Cabin homosexual club. Perhaps most disappointing to conservatives was Allen’s refusal to co-sponsor the Federal Marriage Amendment. He met with homosexual activists to discuss the measure, who later claimed the Senator was only voting for FMA because of criticism he had received from conservatives over his support for the hate-crimes bill.
Lately, George Allen has been enduring criticism from homosexuals for not being MORE supportive of their agenda. A homosexual activist in Washington, D.C. has been “outing” members of George Allen’s Senate staff, exposing their formerly “closeted” homosexual activities. According to this strident gay activist - at the very least; George Allen’s general counsel, his chief spokesman, and his appointment to be Executive Director of the Republican Senatorial Committee are all practicing homosexuals. The homosexual activist calls Allen’s office, “the gayest place on Capitol Hill.”
Pro-family conservatives throughout Virginia have been largely unaware of George Allen’s affinity with homosexual activists and gay staff members. They don’t know of his support for the Log Cabin Homosexual club, or his vote to give special status to some crimes, simply because of the victims’ private sexual misconduct.
Instead, pro-family Virginians believe George Allen is a stalwart conservative who would have nothing to do with the liberal ideology or the homosexual agenda that seems to be so prevalent among other leaders in the halls of Congress. It’s too bad, but conservative Virginians will have to learn George Allen is not the Senator he’d like everyone to think he is, now that he lives in Washington, D.C.
