Democratic presidential candidates are confirmed to participate next month in the first-ever presidential forum on issues concerning the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
Hosted by MTV's homosexual cable network, Logo, and sponsored by the nation's largest homosexual activist organization, the Human Rights Campaign, the one-hour event on Aug. 9 will feature Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who will engage in conversation on marriage, hate crimes, HIV/AIDS and other issues.
'“We’re honored to give the presidential candidates a historic opportunity to share their views directly with the LGBT audience,” said Brian Graden, president of Logo, in a released statement.
Conservatives warn that the forum is "clearly a setup" and the gay agenda will come across loud and clear.
The debate will focus solely on homosexuality in front of an audience of gay activists, noted Connie Mackey, senior vice president of Family Research Council Action.
"It's not good politics," she said, according to CitizenLink, a publication of Focus on the Family. "The only positive I see out of it is that if enough Americans actually watch the Democratic candidates answer some of these questions, they're going to understand something about them that they probably have not understood before.
"The questions will be posed in such a way that it looks mean if you're not for it," she added. "So, they'll pose those questions strategically."
According to conservative public policy group Concerned Women for America (CWA), all major presidential candidates have been invited to participate and as of Friday, all Republican presidential candidates have declined.
Clinton and Obama, the two leading Democratic presidential candidates, are the only confirmed candidates. Both have expressed support for the LGBT community and have pushed for equality.
CWA's policy director for Cultural Issues Matt Barber expressed concern Friday, arguing that the debate is designed to "advance the radical homosexual agenda and to promote social and governmental acceptance and celebration of the high-risk and destructive homosexual lifestyle."
"It's disgraceful that our nation's moral standards have now dipped so low that it's considered 'tolerant' to hold a debate organized entirely around the promotion of sexual immorality," Barber commented in a statement.
The forum will be held in Los Angeles at 6 p.m. local time before a studio audience and broadcast live without commercial interruption on Logo's cable television channel and at LOGOonline.com.
Oh, the shame. :*(
Keep talking Dhimis, just keep talking, whoever is shilling for “Democrat outreach to Evangelicals” is going to have some ‘splaining to do about “shared values”.
Lots of soundbytes will be coming out of this one...
What "crack" journalist wrote this brilliant headline?
Lemme see...
First Presidential LBGT Forum Expected to talk about shoelaces...? No, no, that won't do...
LBGT ? Sounds like a sandwich.
Lettuce, bacon, gravy, and tomatoes.
MMM...
‘Cept in this case, it’s more like fudge and carpet.
What's to debate about that issue?
Nature's own intended design should settle that. We all know democrats think perverted, sick, disgusting sexual practices are ok between two concenting deviants, but that doesn't warrant or grant homo's the "right" to change the meaning and intent of what marriage is, and has meant from the beginning of time either culturally, tribally, socially, or religiously.
Likewise, Aids has been debated to death. Knowing how the disease is transmitted, and knowing that despite this knowledge, people choose to engage in perverted sexual behavior to satisfy their demented desires and lusts and expose themselves to the disease.
With choice comes responsibility, and if these deviants choose to defy natures design to expose themselves to the disease, then it's only logical they can choose to pay for the treatment of this self inflicted disease with their own money as well.
Other than debating how much stronger a law be made to punish those who willfully and knowingly spread aids to others for whatever reason, there really isn't anything to discuss.
Will they all be dressed in purple or disguised as condoms?

This would be a good time to invoke the “fairness doctrine” to ensure that both sides of the issue are presented in connection with the science and religion.
A tidbit of Science: Epidemiologists estimate that one out of two men who have sex with men will eventually become HIV positive. Men who begin to engage in sex with men at an earlier age are more likely to become HIV positive and to become HIV positive earlier. (Hessol, N., Lifson, A., O’Malley, P., Doll, L., Jaffe, H., Rutherford, G. (1989) Prevalence, incidence and progression of human immunodeficiency virus infection in homosexual and bisexual men in hepatitis B vaccine trials, 1978 - 1988. American Journal of Epidemiology. 130, 6: 1167 - 1175) (Hoover, D., Munoz, A., Carey, V., Chmiel, J., Taylor, J., Margolick, J., Kingsley, L., Vermund, S. (1991) Estimating the 1978 - 1990 and future spread of human Immunodeficiency virus type 1 in subgroups of homosexual men. American Journal of Epidemiology 134, 10: 1190 - 1205) (Morris, M., Dean, L. (1994) Effects of sexual behavior change on long-term human immunodeficiency virus prevalence among homosexual men. American Journal of Epidemiology. 140, 3: 217 - 32)
The bacteria contacted during anal intercourse include Shigella, Entamoeba, Giardia (causes chronic diarrhea), and the bacteria that cause hepatitis A (severe liver damage which can kill), and hepatitis B. Of course, the mostly deadly of all, HIV, is more easily transmitted through anal sex. (”When Kids don’t Have a Straight Answer” [Departments: Health and Fitness]. NEAToday on-line.)
A study revealed a dramatic increase in anal cancer among homosexual men. This increase is traced to the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually-transmitted virus that causes cervical cancer in women and is found in almost all HIV-positive homosexual men. (Report of study at annual meeting of American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons, June 26, 2002.)
Religion: Homosexual acts are acts of grave depravity (i.e. unsafe, unclean, high risk), and are contrary to natural law. Under no circumstances can they be approved.
How can this party be holding the majority?
I want this Presidential LBGT Forum broadcast on all the mainstream and cable news networks, so the whole country can “enjoy” it and see what their Dem politicians believe in, or pander to. Don’t allow this candle to be hidden under a barrel. Expose this for all to see. I’m sure it will garner more votes from the public at large for Dems, don’t you? Bring it on.
I’m gonna use the word “homocrats” in conversation today like I picked it up outta Readers Digest.
Two words - “opposition research”
Boy, he should appeal that. If ever there was an audience that likes well done hair....
