Yes, gays and lesbians have an agenda

Yes, gays and lesbians have an agenda. They want to create a society where they can live in security and peace, and be accepted as humans.

Every week in West Virginia, teenagers are beaten because someone thinks they are gay or lesbian, while school officials look the other way. And in West Virginia, it is still legal to fire workers or evict them from apartments because of their sexual orientation. Ask any gay or lesbian person — it happens every day.

They seek a country where people judge them on the content of their character, not on what they do in the bedroom. America isn’t there yet, but this Supreme Court ruling brings the nation a lot closer to being a humane, decent, compassionate society. - from the West Virginia Gazette.

Editorial: Bigotry is on display. Frist has tried to present himself as a more tolerant, and tolerable, player than Lott. But, like Senate Republican Conference Chair Rick Santorum, R-Pa., Frist's "tolerance" does not extend to gays and lesbians.

In April, Santorum said, "I have a problem with homosexual acts. ... And if the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."

While prominent Republicans such as Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine, quickly distanced themselves from Santorum's suggestion that loving gay and lesbian relationships were comparable with criminal behavior, Frist stuck by Santorum. And now we know why.

Like Santorum, Frist is bigoted against gays and lesbians.

Frist's bigotry was on display when he appeared Sunday on ABC-TV's "This Week" program. Complaining about the Supreme Court decision that gays and lesbians have a right to privacy that cannot be infringed upon by the sodomy laws of states like Texas, Frist said, "I have this fear that this zone of privacy that we all want protected in our own homes is gradually - or I'm concerned about the potential for it gradually being encroached upon, where criminal activity within the home would in some way be condoned."

Just as Santorum did in April, Frist made the incredible comparison of respectful monogamous relationships with criminal activity. And he pushed the limits of credibility and common sense even further by suggesting that protecting the rights of privacy for law-abiding American citizens would somehow legitimize "prostitution or illegal commercial drug activity in the home."

Frist then called for rewriting the Constitution to reflect his bigotry - in the form of an amendment that would ban any marriage in the United States except a union of a man and a woman. Knocking through Thomas Jefferson's wall of separation between church and state, Frist ranted on about "sacraments" and protecting "Western values."

An excellent commentary regarding Senator Frisk's comments on gay marriage:
Senator Bill Frist has come out (pardon the expression) in favor of a constitutional amendment against homosexual marriage. I found his remarks on the subject amusingly illogical, and I offer a short critique for discussion. See http://www.sunspot.net/cgi-bin/ultbb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=18 for the full article.

Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tennessee, said the Supreme Court's decision last week on gay sex threatens to make the American home a place where criminality is condoned.<

Well, technically, "criminality" is defined by the laws, and the SCOTUS has just struck down the laws in question, so private, consensual homosexual behavior is not criminal. He's seems to be confusing his idea of morality with legality, which is a problem that plagues many of his ilk.....

Wal-Mart bars anti-gay bias. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has broadened its corporate policy prohibiting discrimination to cover gay and lesbian workers, the company confirmed with CNN Wednesday.

Tom Williams, a Wal-Mart spokesman told CNN that the company implemented the changes "because it was the right thing to do for our 1.5 million employees. We feel that they need to be treated with respect and feel valued--no exceptions."
