Democrats Will Debate Which Candidate is the Most "Gay"

Debate is most likely to become showcase for Sen. Hillary Clinton

By Peter J. Smith

LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The leading Democratic presidential candidates will hold a televised debate to determine which one candidate will best represent and promote the interests of the homosexual agenda.

Sens. Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John Edwards and Chris Dodd have agreed to participate in the debate, which portends to become a spectacle of one-upmanship as to which candidate is the most pro-homosexual.

The debate is scheduled in Los Angeles for August 9 at 9PM EST and is sponsored by Viacom's homosexual television network LOGO and the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), the most influential lobby of homosexual activists in the United States.

These four Democratic candidates will discuss a range of homosexual issues including gay "marriage", civil unions, discrimination based on sexual orientation, homosexuals in the military, hate crimes, HIV/AIDS etc.

On support for the homosexual agenda, there is little difference among the Democratic presidential candidates. Sens. Clinton, Obama, Edwards, and Dodd along with other Democratic contenders responded to an HRC questionnaire in which they outline their support for a number of homosexual issues including federal recognition of same-sex unions, the employment non-discrimination act (ENDA), hate crimes legislation, recognizing same-sex couples as having equal status with married couples, and gay "adoption."

Both Obama and Clinton have taken positions that would open the door for gay "marriage", while only two long shot candidates - Dennis Kucinich and Mike Gavel - have directly called for same-sex "marriage." Obama, the chief threat to Clinton's presidential aspirations, advocated the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) during his 2004 Senate race. Clinton herself has called for repealing DOMA by rejecting the central plank of the law - signed by her husband and former President Bill Clinton - which defines "marriage" as "only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife" and "spouse" as "a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife."
 
The debate, however, is most likely to become a showcase for Sen. Hillary Clinton both on account of her well-established ties with HRC and her efforts to persuade homosexual activists to accept her as their leader in the United States.

Earlier this March, Sen. Clinton gave the keynote address for the Human Rights Council in which she praised the defeat of the Federal Marriage Amendment and spoke enthusiastically of the "agenda we are pursuing."

Clinton told activists then, "Just as you always have an open door to my Senate office you will have an open door to the White House.  And together we will continue our struggle."
