When Republicans approach the issue of sexual identity, they seem unable for face the issue head on in their personal lives. Instead, as many act hatefully to gay people, they lurk in airport restrooms, anonymously reply to or post prurient ads where gay prostitutes can be found, groom congressional pages, etc. It appears that they also cannot even deal with gay marriage publicly without a sneak attack from behind.
In a replay of the Republican stealth attack on the labor movement in Wisconsin, the GOP has launched a sneak attack on the LGBT community of gays, lesbians, transgendered and bisexual citizens in North Carolina — the nation’s most embattled battleground state.
According to news reports stemming from WRAL-TV in Raleigh, the Republican covert operation to attack gay rights has been blown wide open.
According to reports broadcast by Laura Leslie of WRAL, here is the scenario:
- The North Carolina General Assembly will be the field of battle;
- The Republican Senate Caucus has launched a nefarious plan;
- Under the guise of a debate on term limits, the Republicans will strip out the language of the bill and substitute a ban on gay marriage;
- The same covert plan is operative in the NC House of Representatives and will run concurrently.
The Republicans’ covert plan was leaked to WRAL by an anonymous whistleblower, who explained the extremist rationale behind the covert legislative strategy:
“We need to reach out to them and get them (gays) to change their lifestyle back to the one we accept.”
The deliberate and stealthy Republican moves began to unfold on Friday. Senate staff attorney, Susan Sitze sent the new amendment against gay marriage to members of the Senate Judiciary I Committee. Approximately 40 minutes later, the Senate Calendar was posted for the public proclaiming that the topic under discussion on Monday by Senate Judiciary I Committee would be: “Speaker/Pro Tem Term Limits.”… [emphasis added]

Isn’t it ironic that Republicans consider who LGBT people love to be an unacceptable lifestyle, but consider their own scheming total lack of integrity to be acceptable? Needless to say, I fully support the right of LGBT people to marry.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
These hypocrits dare to presume they, and only they, know what is right! I wonder how many of them sneak off to have illicit relations with someone other than their spouse regardless of sex or age.
All we know is that they get caught with shocking regularity.
So much for the land of the free. In Republican terms, gays have no freedom to live as they choose. Freedom, to Republicans, ONLY means the freedom to lie, cheat, steal, dominate, and exploit others economically.
See today’s article on freedom, Jack.
Tom- I agree 100%–My Grandmother told me many years ago– and I pass it on ;; As long as they don’t do it in the streets and scare the horses—— someone elses private life is theirs-
The Repugs- with their blind hatred , lack of integrity…lies—are scaring the horses– when that happens it is time to speak up— and stop them–
Phyllis, I don’t know if they scared the horses, but they are sure full of what horses do!
I’m surprised they’re so opposed to gay marriage – it’s a tremendously lucrative policy – gay weddings make a lot of money and help a lot of businesses as well as gaining employment! What could be more lucrative for judges and states than gay divorce? It should be a win/win situation!
The Theocon and InsaniTEA wings would revolt, otherwise.
“. . . the extremist rationale behind the covert legislative strategy:
“We need to reach out to them and get them (gays) to change their lifestyle back to the one we accept.” “
Horse puckey! I have a number of gay friends and there was never any doubt that they were born gay. To ask someone to change their lifestyle because it offends some bigoted, myopic moron is ridiculous! This is not a lifestyle choice, it is not a mental illness, it is not a disease of any sorts — this is WHO they are and were created to be by God! So NC legislators, get over it!
What particularly incenses me is that the legislature is deceiving all of the people it is sworn to represent, not just LGBT, but everyone. By using deceitful tactics like changing the wording etc and not giving the contituents the right information, these Republican morons are denying all residents the right to freely participate in government and healthy debate.
What was the name of another state’s Republican legislator who was espoused anti gay rantings but then got caught with a gay prostitute! Delaney??? I guess it’s the old do as I say, not as I do routine.
They can never admit that sexuality is hard wired, because acknowledging that fact defeats their lie that LGBT people choose immorality.
