Homosexuality takes Congress by storm
One News Now ^ | 6/13/2008 | Jeff Johnson

Posted on 06/13/2008 1:05:49 PM PDT by CWWren

The two openly homosexual members of the U.S. House of Representatives have recruited 50 of their colleagues to officially join them in promoting the homosexual agenda in Congress.

Democrats Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin are the only open homosexuals serving in Congress. They have joined with Republicans Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Christopher Shays of Connecticut, and 50 other Democrats to create the House Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Caucus. Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says it is a sad day when Congress enshrines official promotion of sexual immorality.

"How interesting that we now have a homosexuality, transsexual caucus – I guess you could call it – at the congressional level. It's just unbelievable that there are this many congressmen who are promoting homosexuality and transsexual perversion," LaBarbera laments.

While LaBarbera criticized the two Republicans for lending the appearance of bipartisanship to the group, he reserved his primary wrath for the Democrats.

"I think what this shows is that the hard-core Democratic Left is extremely pro-homosexual," he states. "Big city populations have many homosexual activists, and they're disproportionately powerful compared to the rest of the people in the district. Do I think that the average person in the district knows that these members are promoting homosexuality in this way? No way! But there are probably powerful homosexual constituencies in each one of these districts," LaBarbera explains.

Christians, according to LaBarbera, could learn something from the success of homosexual activists. With very small numbers, they have managed to create the perception of a much larger constituency and, thereby, have many of their political demands met.

"The gays are all about political power. They know how to vote. They're very committed. They're not apathetic like many Christians," says the activist. "And they've 'earned' this extraordinary total: 52 congressmen coming right out and saying, 'We are going to vote for homosexuality and transsexuality in Congress," LaBarbera contends.

The 52 members of the LGBT Caucus are: Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Barney Frank (D-MA), Rob Andrews (D-NJ), Xavier Becerra (D-CA), Lois Capps (D-CA), Yvette Clarke (D-NY), Joseph Crowley (D-NY), Diana DeGette (D-CO), Keith Ellison (D-MN), Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ), Mike Honda (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), James McGovern (D-MA), Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), Linda Sánchez (D-CA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), Hilda Solis (D-CA), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Henry Waxman (D-CA), Anthony Weiner (D-NY), Peter Welch (D-VT), Howard Berman (D-CA), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Robert Brady (D-PA), Michael Capuano (D-MA), Susan Davis (D-CA), Rosa DeLauro (D-CT), Eliot Engel (D-NY), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Luis Gutierrez (D-IL), Phil Hare (D-IL), Rush Holt (D-NJ), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Doris Matsui (D-CA), James Moran (D-VA), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-Washington, D.C.), Frank Pallone (D-NJ), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Steven Rothman (D-NJ), José Serrano (D-NY), Chris Shays (R-CT), Pete Stark (D-CA), Betty Sutton (D-OH), Ellen Tauscher (D-CA), Niki Tsongas (D-MA), Robert Wexler (D-FL), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA).

LaBarbera argues that the average voter in most of those 52 congressional districts has no idea that their elected representative is openly promoting sexual immorality.

Keep it up Congress! You're proving by signing on to this perversion that you've become irrelevant and dangerous to society.

Pandering to the deviants. Where is the list? Homosexuals, pedophiles, genitally mutilated (transgenders), incestuous, the species preference crowd (bestiality), sex with the dead, etc. The country has real problems and this is what this worthless lot of scumbags is spending our tax dollars paying attention to.

The scope of possible Congressional ‘caucuses’ is beyond comprehension...and, the Supreme Court, now, has the initiative in creating any new law it wishes. With a Dem Pres., all will work in concert with one another for nefarious purposes with a complete circle of effectiveness.

We're in deep trouble with the judicial and legislative branches of our government. They're not only proving themselves a danger to 'most' of us, but continually demonstrate their irrelevancy.

Congress is responsible for the current state of the economy because by drilling for oil in places, for example, where the prolific polar bears refuse to poop and off the coast of Florida where the ChiComs are at present sucking up our oil, they are strangling all Americans.

Mike Honda (D-CA), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), Doris Matsui (D-CA), Pete Stark (D-CA), Ellen Tauscher (D-CA), Lynn Woolsey (D-CA)....

I'm surrounded - deep in Injun territory.
Actually, I'm surprised not to see Pelosi's name (Ms. San Francisco/Marin County herself) on this list.

All Democrat. Chris Shays must be the only GOP Queer. Which is fitting since he's really a Democrat in Republican Drag.

“’We are going to vote for homosexuality and transsexuality in Congress,”

I’m confused. Does this mean they’re going to be voting earmarks for special interest groups like meat packers, start dressing for work like Ru Paul or speak like Ross the Intern while giving speeches from the House floor?

LaBarbera argues that the average voter in most of those 52 congressional districts has no idea that their elected representative is openly promoting sexual immorality.

The average Democrat voter doesn't give a ****. The Democrat party has some sort of multi-generational ownership of certain population groups and they will vote for a Democrat no matter what (unless they're Appalachian and the Democrat is Black).

Keith Ellison's participation illustrates the quasi-alliance between homosexuality and islam in America. They may be opposed to each other, but they'll never butt heads until they've defeated the rest of us!

“The most pathetic thing is most people could care less.”

I think the most pathetic thing is that they actually represent a large percentage of ‘the people’.

It seems the GBLT thing has taken over the Methodist religion or branches of it, and some state administrations entirely.

Kansas City (Kansas and Missouri) has a high concentration of GBLT due to the ART and DENTAL colleges, and tons and tons of HOSPITALS, HOSPICE CARE, etc.

All the commercials on TV are biased towards females, or gays, as well as the so called entertainment between the commercials.


I actually think the Second Coming already happened, and we are living ‘our hells’.

Mine, is to be addicted to FR and have it taken over by a (combination of everything in the world I don’t like).

... a homosexuality, transsexual caucus – I guess you could call it –

Actually, I'd call it the queer caucus ... or the normalphobe caucus.

Homosexual and transsexual are just too stilted to use in normal discourse.

OK, it’s time. I demand a congressional widow caucus. Our rights and special interests are not fully represented.
I feel silly even thinking such a thing.
Apparently homosexuals no longer recognize the silly feeling when they make silly demands - they just think it’s a surge of pride.
I don’t understand why “straight” congress critters don’t inform them that they are silly instead of joining the program.
What is wrong with people?
