Peer Pressure.

By Andrew Belonsky May 1, 2008 at 11:05am

Gay superdelegate Jason Rae explains his previously announced Barack Obama endorsement: “It was a matter of how many young people were turning out for him. I got elected to be a voice for American’s next generation and I see Obama really engaging with young people. In exit polls, 73% of 18-to-24-year-old Wisconsin voters supported him.” [POQ]

    Good choice. Hillary’s church, United Methodist Church turned back attempts to liberalize its policy on homosexuality Wednesday. Almost 1,000 delegates to the church’s General Conference rejected a committee proposal, leaving in place the position that the practice of homosexuality is “incompatible with Christian teaching.
    Hillary’s faith is important to her, walking in the woods, watching a sunset, and helping her pull through Bill’s infidelities. She has never said the word “gay” once.

    “she has never said the word ‘gay’ once”???

    Sorry Charley: you’re either a willful liar or retarded—even if one only counted her appearances at the LOGO forum and on LOGO News, at multiple LGBT functions including PFLAG, multiple gay print interviews, and in mainstream media when asked about gay issues.

    As for church comparisons: yes the UMC is still against even civil unions but Hillary supports them.

    Contrast that with the fact that Obama’s denomination, the United Church of Christ, supports GAY MARRIAGE but Obama does NOT!

    Take a walk in the woods with that, Bitch!

    Leland,

    I truly enjoy your comments.

    That’s nice Leland, except you miss the point that she only ever says it willingly to gay people. She’ll only discuss us to the mainstream media if she’s asked. Obama puts us in almost every speech including to audiences who don’t want to hear about the gays. As usual, Hillary goes there for the gays when it is convenient, and when it becomes inconvenient, she’ll stick it to us, just like her husband.
