When the only attack they have left is calling their actually gay adversaries “gay,” it’s safe to say they’ve basically lost, I think:
Back in 2009, Dave Welch of the US Pastor Council took the lead in opposing the campaign of openly gay Houston mayoral candidate Annise Parker but lost, leading Welch to apologize for letting our “position on the wall be breached by the enemy” while declaring Parker’s election to be evidence “of cancer of the soul among the people.”
So, in case you weren’t aware, Welch is not particularly supportive of Parker’s sexuality or her role in public office. And that is why, as the Texas Freedom Network reports, Welch’s organization sent out an email announcing a new video aiming to expose Parker’s nefarious agenda – a video that consists mostly of footage of Parker talking about equality and gving her partner a kiss on the cheek.
She’s GAY! Gay gay gay gay gay. So here is the thing: the only place that “gay” is a viable insult is in the schoolyard, and we’re working on fixing that. But going after someone for their sexuality is basically the refuge of (some) children. Of all ages, apparently. Here is his super, super scary video, where he explains that Annise Parker is a lesbian. Apparently he thinks that Houstonians have missed that.
I love the subtly foreboding music! It amazes me, though, that Dave Welch thinks that there are sane people alive that his ad will frighten.
This video pretty much proves that they’ve lost. It’s like saying: The Mayor is…BLACK! or the mayor is…A UNMARIED WOMAN OVER 40!
No decent minded person cares. It’s like if Hitler had a rally and no one showed up.
It actually looks like it could have been put together by a gay rights organization who wanted to honor her.
Oh the freeze frame of the kiss on the cheek,my God, they are just getting kinda sadly pathetic…
This reminds me of a scene in Blazing Saddles. “The sheriff’s a n*gger!”
Doesn’t matter if the mayor’s gay, straight, or purple with green polka-dots — what matters is that the person is able to do the job.
I like the music. This is really a sad attempt to scare the voters (who voted for her in the first place). How pathetic that the gay-haters will stoop so low. I was never aware that there is a sexual orientation litmus test for holding public office. J. Edgar Hoover was gay and he was the toughest G-man we’ve ever known. Of course, he wasn’t freely elected to his office – just openly appointed. Did the voters not know she is gay?
