GAY TRUTH

English: New York Mayor, Michael R. Bloomberg. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Last Thursday , the voters in New York State finally got a chance to have their say. As I told you in last week's letter, the primaries recently held in New York are incredibly important to the future of marriage. Powerful donors tried—and are still trying—to remake the Republican Party in their own image: namely, as pro- gay marriage supporters. Getting New York Republicans to bring up and pass a gay marriage bill was the first step in that plan. The four Republicans who voted for gay marriage were hailed as heroes and showered with accolades—and massive quantities of cold hard cash. They were supposed to sail to victory, thus disproving the "myth" that voters care about marriage. But on Thursday, the voters got their turn, and to the shock and surprise of the pundits and establishment hacks, they tossed out long-term incumbents in both parties who had betrayed their constituents

A majority of California voters opposes putting the issue of gay marriage back on the ballot for another referendum. They are tired of being hammered by homosexual political groups constantly seeking to redefine marriage for everybody. According to a just-released survey by the new polling team of The Times and the University of Southern California, a small majority of Californians favors the right of gay couples to marry . But a far larger proportion of the 1,500 registered voters in the new poll opposes putting the issue back on another statewide ballot next year. This week Maine became the 31st state where voters, in effect, defeated the idea of gay marriage in a statewide vote. Not surprisingly, same-sex-marriage views were sharply polarized by political party; 66% of Democrats thought it should be legal and 71% of Republicans opposed it. Nonpartisan voters were less enthusiastic than Democrats but still backed it, 59% to 34%. Overall, the smallest majority of 51% of Cal

Today is primary election day in New York State . It's a time of choosing. Gay marriage passed in New York State by the vote of four Republican senators: Sen. James Alesi , Sen. Roy McDonald , Sen. Stephen Saland , and Sen. Mark Grisanti . These four GOP senators who betrayed marriage believed the Human Rights Campaign sponsored lie: "no one has ever lost a seat voting for gay marriage." They counted on voters to have short memories for betrayal, to accept a done deal, to "move on." Sen. James Alesi was the first to discover that this is not true. He announced his retirement from the Senate . One down, three to go. It's very hard to beat incumbents in New York State politics. These four men who betrayed their voters on marriage were counting on that. They were counting on all the pro-gay marriage money they were promised to protect them for their failure to respect and protect their own constituents' values. They chose the money over the voters, and th

WASHINGTON, D.C. , August 2, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The Democratic Party’s decision to  adopt a platform embracing same-sex “marriage”  “may end up sinking” the party, and hand Mitt Romney the issue he needs to energize Republican voters in the fall, according to one of his former rivals. Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told AFR Talk’s “Today’s Issues” yesterday the Democrats’ formal support for marriage redefinition “will be the best thing that’s ever happened to the Republican Party , especially in the South and the Midwest.” “If there was any vestige of the Democrat Party in some of these areas, this may end up sinking the ship,” he told the hosts.    A Quinnipiac poll shows the constituency known as “ Reagan Democrats ” – whites without a college education – favor Romney over Obama by 20 points, 53 percent to 33 percent. Political scientist Larry Sabato has said “those Reagan Democrats have long since become operational Republicans.” But pundits

DENVER -- Opponents of same-sex unions rallied at the Colorado Capitol on Tuesday as tensions remained high one day after state House Republicans rejected a proposal to provide gay couples rights similar to marriage. Dozens of people saying they support traditional marriage cheered Republican lawmakers and thanked state House Speaker Frank McNulty , crediting him for the defeat of the heavily-debated civil union legislation. Gay rights advocates also maintained a presence at the Capitol, as a man with a horn loudly heckled McNulty as he addressed the crowd. McNulty spoke through the noise, urging Republicans to spread the message that his party will protect traditional marriage. It's becoming clear that both parties plan to campaign on the issue of civil unions versus traditional marriage in November. Fundraising emails have gone out with each party seeking support based on its stance regarding the failed civil union bill. "It does not end here today," McNulty said. &

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Vice President Joe Biden happens to mention that he has no problem with same-sex marriage. Then President Obama says that he supports it. Then some schoolmates of Mitt Romney say he and his buddies held down a shy, quiet student they thought to be gay, and chopped off his hair. The Republicans might want to reconsider their talking points about this " community organizer " who is in over his head. As political theater, Karl Rove could not have scripted this any better. First, you learn all about Romney's school days -- and you realize you have some credible ammunition. But how to use it? You trot out well-known gaffe-meister Joe Biden to make the statement. If all hell breaks loose, duck and cover -- it's just Joe being Joe. If all looks clear, come out

According to a new USA Today/Gallup poll released Saturday, 26 percent say Obama's support of gay marriage will make them less likely to vote for him as compared to just 13 percent who say it will make them more likely. About 60 percent of Americans say Obama's May 9th announcement will make no difference to who they will vote for. The poll also found there was a negligible difference between the number of Americans who support gay marriage in general, which is about 50 percent, and those who approve of Obama's position on the issue, 51 percent. Gallup noted that since there is a strong relationship between party identification and vote choice, a key to

Image via Wikipedia February, the month of love, will be the month we score some major, unexpected victories for marriage. Victory number one:  taking marriage to the people of Washington . After the out-of-touch state legislature rammed through a gay marriage bill in Washington state , a citizen's coalition (with NOM's help!) called Preserve Marriage Washington immediately filed the paperwork to take marriage to the people! Joseph Backholm is leading the effort at Preserve Marriage Washington (with your help!), as  this  New American  piece makes clear: Among the leaders in the fight to preserve marriage in Washington is Joseph Backholm, head of the state's Family Policy Institute, who said his group is working to give voters the final say on the issue. "Marriage is the union of one man and one woman for good reason," Backholm said following passage of the homosexual marriage bill. "Marriage is society's way of bringing men and women together so that c
