It seems like every time someone starts a thread about a news source ignoring something someone will quickly post a link proving them wrong, as posters above already have.

Now Upton you apologize to the forum and promise never to do it again.

But we're not. You'd have to be blind to believe that homosexuals are just as accepted by society as heterosexuals.

Forty-three percent of Americans say that homosexuality is morally wrong. This obviously has a large impact on how the average homosexual in America experiences life versus the average heterosexual.

Uh - hello? Ken Mehlman was the campaign manager of the president who proposed a federal constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. That's just one reason why this is an interesting story.

Otherwise, its no ones business.
Maybe you don't know who Ken Mehlman is; he was GWB's campaign manager in '04 and the former head of the RNC. In these positions he pushed one of the most vile, disgusting, anti-gay propaganda campaigns in US history.

Of course what else would we expect from a vile, disgusting guy like Mehlman and the rest of the Republicans.

What do you mean by "homosexual agenda"? "The right to not be beaten to death by homophobes? The right to enjoy one's life in peace? The right to be able to visit one's family when they are in the hospital? The right to be able to keep one's job without fear of reprisal for sexual orientation? The right to be hired for a job because you are the best at that job?

Strange use of the phrase.

Had Mehlman been born a generation sooner he could have headed up "Jews for Hitler".

The guy is a disgusting piece of carp.

In Mehlman's case, better late than never. Yet once again, this is just another case that proves homophobes have something to hide. Don't protest too much! People will talk. I'm willing to bet that at least 50% of the homophobes on this board are trying to hide something, too! OOOOH was I too harsh? I don't care!

With all the horrible economic news, the job losses, the lies and other scandals concerning obama, nobody really cares and why should they?

This is a perfect example of the democrats playing identity politics - the GOP doesn't even care that he is gay and I'm they've known for years. He did his job well, that's all that matters.

The less America hears about homosexuals and homosexuality, the better. Most of us could care less where he dips his spoon. MSNBC and CNN, liberal outlets, harp on it incessantly. That tells me that there is indeed a Gay Agenda, no matter how many times we're told there's not one.
