Every month or so, 10 top staff members from Capitol Hill meet over dinner to commiserate about their uneasy experience as gay Republicans. In a wry reference to the K Street Project, the partys campaign to build influence along the citys lobbying corridor, they privately call themselves the P Street Project, a reference to a street cutting through a local gay enclave.
For many of those men and other gay Republicans in political Washington, reconciling their private lives and public roles has required a discreet existence. But in the last week, the Mark Foley scandal has upset that careful balance.
Since Representative Foley, Republican of Florida, resigned after sending sexually explicit electronic messages to male pages, gay Republicans in Washington have been under what one describes as siege and suspicion.
Some conservative groups blamed the gay lifestyle and the gathering force of the gay agenda for the scandal. Others equated homosexuality with pedophilia, a linkage that has long outraged gay men and lesbians...

There is something called a secured patient. Mostly, I've seen it with victims of crimes that the hospital has to protect.
There was a confusing case I saw once. The family did not want the boyfriend of their mother to visit. He was accused by them of neglecting her which had contributed to her needing the hospital.
What confusion. The patient was agreeable but had no memory. The boyfriend was belligerent. It was finally settled. The family member was the health care proxy by legal evidence of a health care proxy and a durable power of attorney.
"They also support NAMBLA with the help of the ACLU want to get the age of consent LOWERED so younger Boys can have legal sex with men!!! IT';s DISGUSTING!!!"
Gosh, I hadn't heard about Democrats supporting NAMBLA or the ACLU trying to lower the age of consent so that boys can have legal sex with men. Can you please point me to some sources?
So what. That beats the hell outta this:
This gentleman was in Intensive Care.
Good Grief...look it up....the ACLU is trying to get the age of consent LOWERED for NAMBLA and the Dems want GAY Boy Scout LEADERS!! Have you been living in a cave?
Boy...amen to that.
Some homosexuals are offended by the practice.
A statistically significant number participate.
See #39. I mis-stated the situation.
You know I HAVE looked and I've found absolutely nothing about the ACLU trying to get the age of consent lowered for NAMBLA so that young boys and older men can have sex. You must know where this information is so could you possibly pass it along? You probably have it archived.
I also know that some Democrats think anybody without a criminal record should be allowed to be a Boy Scout leader (not that I agree), but I still haven't been able to find reference to Democrats specifically supporting NAMBLA. I can't find anybody supporting NAMBLA except the perverts in NAMBLA. I've looked but obviously am missing it. Could you be so kind as to pass along your bookmarks and references instead of just accusing me of living in a cave?
Homosexuals should be excluded from positions of power. Their deviancy makes them a poor security risk. It is that simple.
That last is a controversial point, but I've never heard of a real member... radical "free speech advocates" who are willing to defend the group's right to exist, but never any real member of the group. There's a possibility (this is based on private information from a Houstonian who was approached by supposed members of that group 30 + years ago) that they were just a police sting operation that's taken on a cyber-life of its own.
I don't think I've seen mention of this group outside of people condemning it, in 20 years. Just because a website in Canada exists, doesn't mean the group is real.
Hey, I still await your documentation of the Democrat and ACLU support of NAMBLA and legislation to allow adults to have sex with young boys. I've searched and can't find it. Surely you have solid evidence of this?
Google ACLU NAMLBA...you will read for yourself!!! Or do you need me to paste it to you because you can't google??
"Google ACLU NAMLBA...you will read for yourself!!! Or do you need me to paste it to you because you can't google??"
I guess I do need you to paste it because I still can't find where the ACLU supports legislation allowing men to have sex with young boys. I DID find where the ACLU supported NAMBLA's right to free speech when the parents of a 10-year-old boy tried to blame NAMBLA's web page for their son's murder (last I looked NAMBLA advocated some extrememly vile things, but not murder). The ACLU also made it clear that it did NOT support men having sex with boys or NAMBLA's position on that.
Defending free speech, even if it's vile free speech, is quite different from your position that the ACLU supports legislation to allow men to have sex with boys. In addition, I still haven't found where the Democrats support NAMBLA
So if you have a URL that supports your position please send it. If you continue to refuse to do so, I'll have to assume you have no such proof.
I assume you aren't smart enough to do some searching yourself, or else you are a troll.
Ah, when you've been caught and have no defense call the person stupid or a troll and accuse them of being unable to to their own search. Pretty much how the liberals operate.
If I didn't do some searching how did I know about the case with the 10-year-old boy and the lawsuit? Was that just my ESP?
Maybe I'm not smart enough. In that case wouldn't you want to help me out so that I'd learn more? Of course you would. Surely you'd have pity on the brainless. Except you can't because you took your hyperbole so far you can't back it up now.
I just think that when we make a claim we'd darn well be able to document it as the truth. You apparently think it's just OK to lie.
