Mary Cheney Joins Homosexual Activist Group
Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney, has joined the board of a homosexual activist Republican group that seeks to make homosexuality a “non-issue” in the GOP and compares opposition to homosexuality to racism.
Homosexual author and activist Andrew Sullivan reported April 23 that the Republican Unity Coalition (RUC) founder Charles Francis said Mary Cheney’s:
RUC, which describes itself as a “gay-straight alliance,” was founded by Charles Francis, a Texas friend of President Bush and a homosexual. Writing in the “Daily Dish” section of his personal Web site, Sullivan calls Francis “a close gay friend of the president, and a good friend of mine and supporter of this site.”
Quoting the vice president’s daughter herself, Sullivan then writes, “Cheney puts it this way”:
According to its Web site, RUC (which is supported by senior White House advisor Mary Matalin) seeks to build support from “individuals who want to help the Party and its candidates get over the issue of sexual orientation, just like the GOP got over the issue of color in years past.” Its supporters include noted Republicans like retired U.S. Senator Al Simpson (Wyoming), who serves as the RUC Honorary Chairman, homosexual congressman Jim Kolbe (Arizona), former members of Congress Mike Huffington (of California, who is also a homosexual) and Susan Molinari (New York), former Los Angeles mayor Dick Riordan, and former president Gerald Ford. DISUNITY COALTION?
“Homosexuality should no more be a non-issue in the Republican Party — or any party — than abortion, high taxes, pornography, excessive government regulation, or other issues that concern and motivate the party faithful,” LaBarbera said.
He noted that the Republican Party platform has long included language critical of “gay” activist goals such as “gay marriage” and opening the military to homosexuals. CWA PRESS RELEASE WASHINGTON, D.C. — As homosexual GOP activists convene in the nation’s capital for the annual convention of the Log Cabin Republicans, the Culture & Family Institute of Concerned Women for America reminded Republican Party leaders of the dangers of advancing the homosexual agenda.
CFI Senior Policy Analyst Peter LaBarbera commented this morning, “Catering to a Republican brand of homosexual activism will hurt support for the GOP among the party’s core base of religious — and moral-minded voters. Recently, senior presidential advisor Karl Rove said the party needs to do more to attract religious conservatives. If President Bush continues to support pro-’gay’ policies launched under the Clinton administration, he will alienate these voters.”
“The Log Cabin Republicans’ most visible appointment in the Bush administration, AIDS Policy director Scott Evertz, has been an embarrassment to the administration, publicly contradicting Bush policy,” LaBarbera said. “Evertz, a former Log Cabin official in Wisconsin, has shown more loyalty to the homosexual community than to Bush.”
In an interview with the “gay” press, Evertz came out for needle exchange programs for drug addicts — even though Bush has denounced needle-exchange as signaling “nothing but abdication.” The White House quickly disavowed Evertz’s remarks, but he continues to make questionable public statements that antagonize grassroots GOP conservatives.
Minority voters, especially Hispanics — whom Republicans hope to draw into the party — appear to oppose homosexual activism more strongly than white voters. For example, in March 2000, 58 percent of white voters in California cast ballots supporting Proposition 22, which said only true marriages (between one man and one woman) would be recognized in the state. That compares with 65 percent of Hispanic voters who supported Prop 22, and 62 percent of Black voters who supported the traditional marriage ballot measure.

.... Drag a dollar bill thru Matlin's office and this is what y'all get...
There is only one way these guys want to unite and it is not a pretty sight...
If they want it to be a 'non-issue', why do they keep bringing it up?
Here's why:
It is a non-issue. Republicans believe in individual liberty, limited government, and private property. Thats it. We don't write laws governing your private behavior.
So don't make it an issue, and it won't be one.
, RUC... seeks to build support from “individuals who want to help the Party... get over the issue of sexual orientation, just like the GOP got over the issue of color in years past.”
History lesson: The Republican party did not get over the issue of color. The Republicans were the abolition party. They were the party that was open to blacks all during the bad old days, when the Democrats were wearing hoods after dark.
Republicans believe in color-blind citizenship. Always have.
Likewise, Republicans don't care about your private life. They will not write public policy around your private life. If homosexuals have a place in the Republican party, it is on that basis. Serve in the Army if you want to. Live with your best friend if you want to. Just leave the government out of it.
Their real goal is to persecute those with morality - Christians.
You could be right that the GOP will eventually fracture into 2 parties, but so far, the majority of them do not want to regulate everyone else's life. I actually thought that most of the ones who like gov't control of individual lives left when Buchanan did.
Gotta love that line. Too bad it doesn't have an ounce of truth to it, as Dennis Prager discovered a short time ago. From his column, "A writer in a major gay journal noted the phenomenon years ago – how even his most liberal straight friends do not want him to kiss his boyfriends in front of their children." Yeah, real "racism" at work there, huh?
What???
Oh, of course, as in we should close our borders and although it is a personal choice, you can't just walk across and demand to be cared for by our taxpayers or it may be a personal choice, but you should not be able to employ these same lawbreakers who are sponging off the taxpayers and destroying our country? . Also, it may be a personal choice, but we feel if we do have 'free trade', it should also be fair trade?
That kind of goverment interference in our personal lives, that Mr. Buchanan demanded. How dare he????
That's a good part for starters. Women have been liberated in the West for nearly a century. The ones who aren't are called "abused".
There will never be a majority in any political party in this country that would accept women as second class citizens.
Women have been liberated in the West for nearly a century.Oh, really?
So they are less in "bondage" now than they were prior to then?
Aw, please. How can you say that without breaking down laughing? Republicans have been behind every campaign for government interference in the private lives of citizens. Remember Prohibition?
You GOP "historians" need to read some of the actual history of your party. The civil rights laws were all yours. Affirmative Action is yours. When the civil rights movement for queers bears fruit (ahaha) it will be GOP liberal politicians sponsoring the bills, as always.
It's entirely fitting that the daughter of a GOP politician is working to advance the militant homosexual agenda in the GOP. The GOP is the party with a history of surrendering to the marxists in the democrat party, then solidifying those marxist advances as soon as the GOP has the power to do so.
They will not write public policy around your private life.
Seek professional help before you snap and kill us all.
You'll get tired of trying to polish a turd eventually. The GOP isn't conservative and never has been.
