A pro-family leader says the wife of Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has sent a terrible message to young people. On Sunday, Elizabeth Edwards kicked off San Francisco's annual "homosexual pride" parade by voicing support for same-sex "marriage."
Mrs. Edwards voiced her stance -- which conflicts with that of her husband, who supports homosexual civil unions but not marriages -- while speaking to an influential Democratic organization in San Francisco the morning of the parade. "I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me," Edwards said. "I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage."
An Illinois-based family advocate believes the wife of the former North Carolina senator is inflicting great damage by making such remarks. "A sad thing about what Elizabeth Edwards said is that she is a role model," says Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Action. "And young children, for example, look up to what she says.
"The more these liberals talk about homosexual marriage being okay and [that there is] nothing wrong with it, the more they're teaching children that this terrible thing -- the destruction of marriage, the radical redefinition of marriage to accommodate immoral behavior -- is okay," he adds.
LaBarbera contends that once politicians advocate homosexual relationships, it is only a matter of time before they promote same-sex marriage. "We knew that it would not take long for the liberal politicians to go from domestic partnerships to civil unions to full, outright, so-called 'gay marriage' -- and that's precisely what's happened," he says. "We're seeing the complete cave-in of liberal ideology on this issue. They are disposing of all pretense of opposition to homosexuality ...."
LaBarbera also wonders how Edwards can profess Christianity and yet support something God calls an abomination. He says she should have a "big problem" with that. He contends that all aspects of the homosexual agenda must be resisted, starting with sexual-orientation and gender-identity laws.
Anyone surprised?
The Breck Girl's wife is on the side of satan.
Typical liberal only seeing something thru how it affects her personally. No concern that it rots society and undermines our culture. And ultimately, lady, it will affect your wellbeing... but that's beyond your horizon, which extends about 1" from your two eyes.
Let a couple of queers take her 12 y.o. son for a weekend and then get back to the public on her opinion of homo-marriage. As long as she has her family barricaded in a compound she will support any deviant with voting ability.
My thought exactly.
In my opinion, she is a backseat driver. Loves to tell everyone how to do things; but hasn’t got any idea of how or what she is talking about.
Q: How does homosexual "marriage" effect my marriage? A: How does counterfeit money effect real money?
Why are you surprised? Isn’t she married to a “woman trapped in a man’s body”? (sarc.)
I don’t care what they call it — when a man “marries” a man it’s a sick joke.
The union is a joke — the participants are a joke — the witnesses are a joke — and any state that sanctions such a deviated union is a joke.
Images of the Breck Girl being goosed up the steps by sKerry into the campaign plane still dance in my mind.
Another photo was the one where sKerry was patting him on the check with their lips being 3" apart.
He is truly a disgusting imbecile so it's no small wonder that his wife likes making speeches to homosexuals.
There was a big posting on our company’s intranet homepage that June was ‘gay pride’ month. It didn’t stay up there long, thank God, because I was really struggling against the urge to send an e-mail to our HR department asking when ‘breeder pride’ month was.
She might just be more irritating than her wife.
In my opinion she's in one herself.
She's the Breck Girls fag hag.
By the way, Ann Coulter ripped that fat-ass a new one when she tried to sandbag Ann on "Goofball" with Chrissy Matthews.
What a Bitch Boy, sending his wife out to fight his battles.
And before anyone reminds me that the she has cancer, it was she who injected her fat ass into the fray. I didn't.
I'm sick of the "Victim's Immunity" that the left tries to use to shut down debate.
Well put, Yankee!
She's just giving John her blessings to marry again after she's gone.
Politicians and their kin should not be role models.
Look, Mrs. Edwards thinks she married a gay guy, and she likes him fine. Mr. Edwards might well disagree but what can he do about it ~ pout?
John is, what we used to term, a fwoppish twit.
