Dede Scozzafava’s Gay Pride Agenda

In an effort to use her national notoriety to further damage the Republican brand, Assemblywoman Dede Scozzafava has begun yet another crusade for change. It wasn’t enough for Scozzafava that the voters of NY-23 rejected her to be the Republican nominee for Congress last year. She wants the media spotlight back on her, and if history tells us anything it is that Dede will become, yet again, the focus of the mainstream media’s adulation (and ours).

Today it was reported in the Watertown Daily Times that Scozzafava will be the keynote speaker at a gay rights rally being held at SUNY Potsdam, sponsored by the Standing on the Side of Love campaign. The college’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Association (LGBTA) is helping to organize it. But don’t let the name fool you – LGBT may sound like a yummy sandwich, but their tactics are right out of the textbook of Michael Moore – make blanket generalizations and accusations about our country’s intolerance and bigotry to promote an extremist political agenda.

Here is some advice for Scozzafava as she prepares for her talk this week to the LGBT group. First, your call to action must go beyond President Barack Obama’s. Our President believes that marriage should be between a man and a woman – you need to go further to the left than the President who voted on June 7th of 2006 against a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

Second, on the issue of “don’t ask, don’t tell” you need to make yourself clear that the gay community is in favor of punishing military leaders if they try to discourage men from dressing in drag as they go into the foxholes of the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan as they fight radical Islamic terrorists.

Third, you need to oppose any attempt by the citizens to vote for this issue by referendum because we know that in almost every instance when the issue of gay marriage comes before the voters they are against it and the measure fails. In the year 2010, we cannot allow democracy to rule the day. The voters should not be given the choice to continue policies that so blatantly discriminate against men who leave their wives for other men and women who love other women, or transgendered persons. If you make a clear statement in opposition of allowing voters to decide for themselves on the issue of redefining marriage then we will know how pink your swastika really is.

Fourth, those in the homosexual movement do not want to leave out our brothers and sisters who have had sex changes. Don’t exclude the transsexuals and she-men. Make a clear statement – that these people should receive support from the federal government to pay for their sex changes and breast augmentations so that we do not hurt the transgendered people’s feelings or show our intolerance. They have every right to the same quality of health care as the rest of our citizens.

Finally, to build a credible rainbow coalition you need to be on the frontlines of promoting tolerance in our schools for LGBT people. We need to support groups like the North American Association of Men and Boys Love Association (NAMBLA), that seeks to promote the legalization of sex with young boys by older men. In addition, we should promote the queer agenda in schools throughout the country. If we aren’t willing to teach the same-sex marriage agenda to our children in public schools, then we aren’t really telling the truth about homosexuality to the next generation. Not teaching same-sex marriage in our schools would be like ignoring the history of slavery in our country.

If you care about the values of America you will follow through on these points. But if you can’t commit to these basic principles based on justice and equality then you have no place to lecture us about equal rights and human rights for all people. Is your swastika for gay marriage pinker than your infamous jacket? Only you can fight the lies and the bigotry of proponents of traditional marriage between one man and one woman.

Valentine's Day is coming quickly! Show your love and teach your children it is okay to come out of the closet because Dede says so.
