Romney hires openly gay spokeman

MetroWeekly.com is exposing the whole truth that Washington Post would not reveal:

Mitt Romney’s campaign tonight announced that it has hired Richard Grenell, an out gay former George W. Bush administration official, to serve as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee’s “national security and foreign policy spokesman,” according to a report from The Washington Post that did not mention Grenell’s sexual orientation.

Grenell served through September 2008 in the Bush administration as a spokesman to the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations — and told The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld as he left the administration that it was his hope that New York would have marriage equality soon and that he would one day be able to marry his partner, Matt Lashey. The couple has been together 10 years. . . .

Andrew Sullivan, who had endorsed Obama’s 2008 run, wrote of the news, “For Romney to have an openly gay spokesman is a real outreach to gay Republicans, a subtle signal to moderates, and the Santorum faction’s reaction will be worth noting.”

Grenell is not just gay, but a gay activist who pushes for same-sex marriages.

At the end of Grenell’s service in the Bush administration, he took a notable whack at the administration, telling The Advocate‘s Kerry Eleveld of his effort to have his partner, Matt Lashey, listed in the United Nations’ Blue Book, which is “a reference guide of contact information for different member states of the United Nations as well as diplomatic personnel and their spouses.”

Grenell had attempted to have Lashey’s name added several times, to no avail. He told The Advocate back in 2008, “What put me over the edge was a friend and colleague who met her spouse after I was already with my partner — they got married and subsequently were put into the Blue Book in a matter of days.”

The State Department eventually told him that the Defense of Marriage Act prevented the listing. Although he protested the decision behind the scenes, Lashey’s name was not ever added, which led to his coming forward to criticize the treatement publicly as he left his post.

HuffPost has noted that since the choice, Grenell has scrubbed his Twitter account and website of offensive material...

I will ask you what I asked earlier...Is a church not to associate with sinners? Hmmmm...not what Jesus taught.

Isn't it? The church is not to associate with unrepentant sinners.

Matthew 18:15-18

Dealing With Sin in the Church

15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Can’t wait to see freepdom throw palin under the bus when she comes out and endorses the GOP nominee at the convention.

Oh?

Do you know who that will be?

I do not think that someone with deep pentacostal roots would endorse a deceived MORMON for president.

I may be wrong; but we'll just have to wait and see.

In the Navy, during dont ask dont tell, it was obvious that there were homosexuals serving.

DADT was the beginning, because when I was in they were not tolerated period. DADT was the gateway just as G-PG-R were the gateway to porn in the theaters and TV. If homosexuals were obvious to you then how many did you report, as would have been your duty?

Do you have an argument against the Scripture that was posted, or is your defence of the homosexual agenda based only upon insulting those with whom you disagree?

Now you tell me, is a church conservative if they let sinners (gays) into the service?

Not if they continue in their sinful behavior, but you already know that since your home page tells me you are a Christian.

I am not pretending anything. I agree that there is a radical homo agenda by some just as there is a radical Islamic agenda by some. But I am not going to attack every misguided person for the radical agneda of some or every person who associates with someone who has a vice.

Exactly. These “conservative purists” are wholesale rejecting anyone who sins just like the Pharisees did.

Well... YOU unapologetically embrace and support the homosexual sex purveyor and promoter WHILE wholesale rejecting "These “conservative purists”"...

WOW

Could you show some Christian compassion for us evil “conservative purists” RATHER than carry water for homosexual sex promoters?

MAYBE you could at least NOT be a hypocrite condemning one sin while championing another?

I have a problem with people who forget we are all sinners from birth and forget what the “mission” that Jesus set us out to do is...the most important commandment (both parts)

You dont report suspicions...you have to report behavior. Condemn me and 5000 others on the carriers I served on for not reporting suspicions.

Yeah, your right, that should negate 24 years of service to country...

Well heck! If you didn't admit it, I guess it means the charge can't be functionally correct!

It certainly wasn't to be apologists for the radical homo agenda, that's for sure. On the contrary! Our mission is to end it.

Very appropriate considering this thread.

Either the lesson went over your head or your pastor didn't understand them either.
