Gay groups decry surgeon general nominee

By JEFFREY McMURRAY, Associated Press Writer 2 hours, 29 minutes ago

LEXINGTON, Ky. -
President Bush's nominee for surgeon general, Kentucky cardiologist Dr. James Holsinger, has come under fire from gay rights groups for, among other things, voting to expel a lesbian pastor from the United Methodist Church and writing in 1991 that gay sex is unnatural and unhealthy.

Also, Holsinger helped found a Methodist congregation that, according to gay rights activists, believes homosexuality is a matter of choice and can be "cured."

"He has a pretty clear bias against gays and lesbians," said Christina Gilgor, director of the Kentucky Fairness Alliance, a gay rights group. "This ideology flies in the face of current scientific medical studies. That makes me uneasy that he rejects science and promotes ideology."

2. If it's a matter of choice...

Prove it. I'll take the word of the millions of gays and lesbians who say differently. Fook off Bush.

3. Remember how the repukes stuck it to Joycelyn Elders?

Turnabout's fair play! Maybe the Dem leadership can finally stand up to Bush** on a no-brainer like this...
