MASSACHUSETTS, Feb 26, 2001 (LSN.ca) – Massachusetts Governor Paul Cellucci is expected to be U.S. President George Bush’s choice as Ambassador to Canada. Not everyone is happy about this. Americans for Truth (AfT) is one the leading organizations fighting it on the basis of Mr.Cellucci’s track record on homosexuality. “More than 20 local and national groups have signed on to a petition opposing the Cellucci nomination, with more signing on each day,” reports AfT. Among those organizations are the local chapters of national groups such as Concerned Women for America, the Catholic Action League, the Eagle Forum, and The Knights of Columbus.
As part of its campaign to block the appointment, AfT is distributing a copy of what it calls the “Fistgate” audiotape to every U.S. Senator. The tape, produced by Parents Rights Coalition of Massachusetts, is based on an undercover recording of a March 2000 conference workshop about ‘Queer Sex’ sponsored by the Boston affiliate of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN),” reports AfT. “Three Massachusetts government employees led the GLSEN workshop advertised as ‘for youth only, 14-21’ and gave ‘how to’ discussions about homosexual sex acts, including the dangerous practice known in ‘gay’ slang as ‘fisting.’
The charge against Gov. Cellucci is that he is an “ardent supporter of taxpayer-funded, pro-homosexual programs in the state’s schools.” Last July, AfT adds, “Cellucci also snubbed [pro-life] Ambassador Alan Keyes, who came to Boston to address a rally of parents opposed to the growing promotion of homosexuality to students. (He rudely declined to greet Keyes, who was then welcomed by the Democrat-controlled legislature.)”
