Your government enforces a culture of greed, bigotry, intolerance and ignorance.
After banning gay marriage in 11 states in the 2004 elections, this
regime is now moving to prevent gay people from adopting
children. A bill is currently before the House committee on
children and family affairs, and Republicans are considering making
this a major issue in the 2006 elections.
To get a sense of the utter lies and bigotry behind all this, just listen to what
Rep. Debra Maggart, R-Hendersonville, says:
“We also have seen evidence that homosexual couples prey on young
males and have, in some instances, adopted them in order to have
unfretted access to subject them to a life of molestation and sexual
abuse.”
Maggart gets her facts from the Family Research Council, a far-Right
Christian fundamentalist group that routinely and knowingly distorts
scientific facts to serve their agenda. By equating homosexuality
with child molestation, theocrats inside and outside the government
push ahead in imposing their narrow and hateful brand of Christianity
on all of society, with horrific consequences for those deemed
“immoral” It should be noted that these champions of morality
have no qualms about torture, leaving Black people to die in New
Orleans, or letting millions of people in Africa suffer and die from an
AIDS epidemic by preaching “abstinence only” instead of distributing
condoms. Is this the kind of morality you think society should
have?
The World Can’t Wait! Drive Out the Bush Regime!
