LGBT VICTORY FUND ENDORSES 100 OPENLY HOMOSEXUAL CANDIDATES
The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund yesterday sent me a press release, meaning there’s a chance that the “gay community” has settled it’s grudge with The Palmetto Scoop. Or not. But, whatever… I’ll live.
Anyway, the release announced that the organization has endorsed 100 openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender political candidates. And I’m pretty sure that’s a record for gays running for office.
Now, a note to my numerous left-wing critics: Before you read any further, just assume that every sentence ends with “not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Tack that same phrase onto the above sentences as well if it makes you feel better.
One of the candidates endorsed was South Carolina’s Linda Ketner, who is running to replace Congressman Henry Brown. And I sincerely congratulate her on this achievement.
She was endorsed not based on merit or qualification or leadership ability, but rather sexual orientation. Had I “unendorsed” her on those grounds, I would have been called a homophobe, bigot, or any number of other closed-minded classifications.
Just a few days ago I was told by a former member of Ketner’s staff that, “You obviously have a vendetta against Linda, or against the LGBT community as a whole” because I’ve written about the fact that she amounts to little more than an extremely unqualified, self-centered, tax-and-spend liberal socialist.
Forget the fact that the first couple times I brought up her being was for biographical reasons — being that no one outside of Charleston has any idea who she is — the second was because she spent the entirety of her time in Denver doing LGBT stuff, and the third was to poke fun at her leftist loyalists who attacked me for the first two.
The point is, if you’re going to trumpet the fact that someone is gay as grounds for their being elected to public, expect them to get hit on the issue. And don’t expect to have any right to respond by throwing around the “closed minded” synonyms, either.
Further, just because someone doesn’t support Ketner doesn’t mean it’s because she’s a lesbian. It could be for the multitude of reasons above and anyone who assumes otherwise is a moron.
See, this is what we get when anyone filters their whole exsitence through the “gay” lens. A person can’t just run on what they actually think, because, well gosh darn it, their orientation colors everything. Sheeze…
First, anyone who opposes Obama is a racist. Now, anyone who opposes Ketner is a homophobe. Boy, we conservatives must be some really bad people. I guess we’ll just have to continue bitterly clinging to our guns and religion, while the liberal elites spend our tax money for us.
Remember, the democratic party is the party of feminism and tolerance. That is, of course, until Sarah Palin’s name is mentioned. Then it’s time to go home, get back in the kitchen and cook me some supper…
Well, we suspect that the party of the ex-philanderer and chief would find that, let’s say 48 years of Christian marriage to be perhaps perverse and worthy of ridicule.
To date, Congressman Brown continues to refuse the “gay gambit” of the LGBT endorsements as a point of attack.
Oh Adam. For someone who supposedly understands politics, you are a bit of a simpleton aren’t you?
The only people who are “trumpeting” Ketner’s sexual orientation are those who are also gay. But why do you think that is? Could it be because they’d be proud if an openly gay person were to be elected to represent her entire community? And proud that that would mean the people of the 1st District could look beyond something like the sexual orientation of a candidate and make a choice based on policy differences or record?
Nobody thinks the people of this district will vote for Ketner BECAUSE she’s a lesbian, but they do hope they will consider doing so despite it.
So yes, we get to be proud of her. But that does not mean you get to “hit” her about it. The difference? We are hopeful and proud of this achievement, but you and your ilk want to “use” her sexual orientation to divide people based on fear.
Can you understand the vast difference there?
we need to give gay people thair rights these are family and friend im 16 and proud to say im sight up gay but i dont any rights yet please usa reach out to the LGBT peple and give thair rights please
