Is the U.S. Run By Gay Men Who Represent Less Than 10% of the Population?
An estimated 9 million Americans -- or nearly 4 percent of the total population -- say they identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, according to a new report released this week from the Williams Institute, a think-tank devoted to LGBT research at UCLA. - Gay Americans Make Up 4 Percent of Population, ABC News, April 8, 2011Obama Declares June Gay Pride Month
June 2, 2011LifeSiteNews.com - For the third year in a row, President Barack Obama has declared June a month to celebrate homosexuals.
“Every generation of Americans has brought our Nation closer to fulfilling its promise of equality. While progress has taken time, our achievements in advancing the rights of LGBT Americans remind us that history is on our side, and that the American people will never stop striving toward liberty and justice for all,” wrote Obama, in declaring June to be “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Month.”
Obama’s first declaration of “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Month” was June 2009, which marked the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots. The homosexual movement traces its origins to June 1969 at Stonewall Inn in New York City, where a group of homosexuals rioted in protest against police raids on gay bars.
In this year’s proclamation, Obama noted that June 2011 marks the “30th anniversary of the emergence of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which has had a profound impact on the LGBT community.”
The president also noted that he had overturned the U.S. military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy.
He added that the administration was also implementing the “Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act,” and working with educators to stop bullying against homosexual youths.
Obama also noted that his administration is selecting “highly qualified, openly LGBT individuals to executive branch and judicial positions.” He added that his administration is committed to making the United States a world leader in “the fight against pernicious laws targeting LGBT persons and malicious attempts to exclude LGBT organizations from full participation in the international system.”
Unlike last year’s LGBT month proclamation, Obama did not mention repeal of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act as an administrative priority.
The president stated that for the LGBT community “history is on our side,” adding that achieving rights for persons identifying as homosexuals is part of Americans “striving toward liberty and justice for all.”Closeted Gays and Political Blackmail
We have an extortion system run by the ruling elite: it all boils down to the-powers-that-be blackmailing the people who run this country to keep them under their control. Has Washington, DC become a big bath house funded by taxpayers?DVDTown - In Kirby Dick's documentary Outrage (2009) we learn that Washington, DC, is literally full of gay people, and the DC gay community knows it. Washington, DC city council member David Catania tells us that,
You "can't swing a dead cat [in DC] without hitting a gay staffer."In the documentary, big name politicians surface as closeted gays, including Florida Governor Charlie Crist, former New York City Mayor Ed Koch and California Representative David Dreier.
"Outrage" takes a broader look at the men and women we have voted into office to represent our views, interests and opinions at the national level. It focuses on how a politician's sexuality can influence the way he or she appears in public about gay rights matters, but not exactly how he or she behaves when in the real world.
"I don't have a problem with homosexuals -- I have a problem with them lying about it, pretending to be a family man, drug use -- and all the other lies and baggage that come with being a liar at this level and running our country." - arizonascott
Homosexuality Takes Congress by Storm
June 13, 2008OneNewsNow - 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.
