Gay Rights Group “Bitch Slap” Hillary
Gay groups bitch slap Hillary about not supporting gay marriage. Don’t they know that Hillary can’t show her true feelings on issues if she wants to get the nomination. It’s all about picking issues that the majority of voters want, gay marriage is not one of them. But rest assure, she will be with them IF she gets into the White House. Today it’s all about how to fool the public.
The head of New York’s leading gay rights group has sent out a memo calling Hillary Clinton’s refusal to support gay marriage a "disappointment" and a reason why the group’s board shouldn’t help raise money for her campaign.
In the Feb. 10 memo, marked "confidential" and sent via e-mail to board members of the Empire State Pride Agenda, Executive Director Alan Van Capelle refused to "lend my name and sell tickets" to a gay-oriented fund-raiser for Clinton’s re-election.
The memo - a copy of which was obtained by the New York Observer - states that supporting a gay fund-raiser for Clinton "will actually hurt our community. It will send a message to other elected officials that you can be working against us during this critical time and not suffer a negative pushback from the gay community.
The memo stated, "We have become a community that throws money at politicians and we demand nothing in return. And that’s what we get - nothing. It’s the wrong message to send."
Van Capelle goes on the say that Hillary is "a complete disappointment and does not deserve" a fund-raiser from the gay community."
Clinton opposes gay marriage as "a consequence of her Midwestern Methodist upbringing, her generally cautious political sensibility, her own personal marriage history, something else entirely, or a combination of these factors," according to a report about Van Capelle’s memo on the National Journal’s Web site The Hotline.
According to the Observer, Democrats have basically sought to protect "traditional marriage" while at the same time attemped to appeal to the "donor-rich" gay community by supporting domestic partner benefits, AIDS research and other efforts popular among gays.
"Increasingly, that’s not enough for gay Democrats," Ben Smith writes in the Observer.
