How many Republican's have GLBT children?
Just an interesting thought as one of my points in the 'Gay marrage amandment' argument is "would you want your children to be treated equally "

Also a thought is do these people bring up this issue to hide what they feel is their own shame (basic repressed emotions)


Another thought....


is one of the Bush twins Gay/Bi?

2. Some estimates say that 10% of people are homosexual...
...and another 1% are bisexual. If the average Republican has two kids, that would mean that about 1/4 of them have GLB children.

4. Besides Dick Cheney, there's also --
-- Phyllis Schlaffly (I think a grandson, not sure...) and
Barry Goldwater.

The Republicans aren't just full of shit on this issue now; they've been full of shit on this issue forever.

6. Mary Cheney, daughter of Dick and Lynn Cheney
Edited on Tue Feb-24-04 10:53 PM by Bozita
Google "Mary Cheney" and "Coors"

Think of the Coors' family reputation. Then think of Mary's job.

Hmmmm.

There's Something About Mary Cheney.
She's Here, She's Queer

by Carla Marinucci

 
Philadelphia -- There's something about Mary.

And it's something the Republicans just don't want to talk about.

Mary is Mary Cheney, the 31-year-old daughter of GOP vice presidential nominee Dick Cheney.

She is a lesbian, and she hasn't kept it a secret -- either to her friends or to her employer, Coors Brewing Co., where she is the gay and lesbian corporate relations manager.

more...

10. The pastor of St. Michaels and All the Angels (Episcopal) ...
The Rev. Mark Anshutz, a dear friend of mine, often tells me of the pastoral counseling problems he has with rich Highland Park parents with gay kids. They are homophobic and don't realize the problem! Mark is not homophobic. This great (truly great!) clergyman was the only member of the Texas Episcopal delegation (lay & clergy) to vote for a homosexual Episcopal bishop. He is in deep church political shit now. He and dear Peggy will survive. If you happen to know them from Alexandria's "Christ Church," or Mark's NYC Park Avenue Church, you know what I am talking about!

11. Chastity, the daughter of Cher and the late Sonny Bono (R)
Congressman from Palm Springs, CA. (BTW, I saw him once at City Hall back in the late 80's. But, I would rather have seen Cher. ;-))

I'm sure there are a lot more. Sorry, I can't think of any at the moment.

14. This one:
http://republican.sen.ca.gov/web/17/

And a note from his gay son, from October 1999:

http://www.datalounge.com/datalounge/news/record.html?record=4759&continuebutton=Not+Now

Republican California state Senator Pete Knight was criticized Thursday by his gay son, who called his father's sponsorship of a ballot initiative banning gay marriage in California, `blind" and "uncaring." The opinion piece was published in the Los Angeles Times.

"I believe, based on my experience, that his is a blind, uncaring, uninformed, knee jerk reaction to a subject about which he knows nothing and wants to know nothing, but which serves his political career," wrote David Knight, who currently resides in Baltimore.

David Knight said his father's defense of family values was curious, given that their relationship ended when he came out to his father. "Three years ago, I told my father I was gay and that I have a life partner, Joe. From that moment on, my relationship with my father was over." he writes. "I can't begin to explain the hurt that has come from this rejection."
