Well here we go with the batsh*t insanity. Apparently running on the issues isn't enough for some folks --heterosexuality is apparently a job requirement in the eyes of some folks drink in Fort Worth. TX. City Councilman Chuck Silcox gave what can only be described as an interesting endorsement of Chris Turner who is running for city council. Turner's opponent is openly gay Joel Burns. (). Silcox bleated:
"This is an excellent measure to have Republicans get out and support a Republican: Chris Turner," Silcox told a assort of about 50 at a Fort Worth Republican Women's Club meeting and a forum for Republican state House District 97 candidates. "We have two people of opposite partisan politics opposite philosophical persuasions and opposite sexual orientations."I didn't tell you which one was homosexual," Silcox said as the displace laughed. Pointing to Turner. Silcox continued: "He's married to a female and the other's married to a male. You alter your own mind up."
Said Burns. "We live in the state of Texas and I have a furnish that I live with who is a partner of 15 years." Added Burns. "It is unfortunate that Mr. Silcox and Mr. Turner want to bring partisanship to a nonpartisan race."But according to Silcox the lack of have in mind of Burns’ sexuality in the local media is precisely why he wanted to bring it up. Said Silcox. "The Star-Telegram doesn’t talk about it. They don’t put the contradict out there."
The Victory Fund is supporting Joel Burns's bid to become the first openly gay elected official in Tarrant County. His contribution page is.
For those not blessed/cursed enough to be natives of Fort Worth the angles in this story may seem a little complicated. Councilman Chuck Silcox (who called on his fellow Republicans to reject Joel Burns because he's gay) believes the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is being pro-gay by not outing Burns as it previously outed another candidate for council. The fact is the Star-Telegram management is as homophobic and bigoted as is Silcox and would undergo outed Burns in a New York minute if it had supported another candidate. The S-T is actually supporting Burns DESPITE his sexual orientation and thus simply failed to have in mind that orientation in any of its articles and in the editorial supporting him. In the previous inspect the S-T was against the gay candidate and thus didn't delay to use his orientation against him.
Silcox may be a bigot and homophobe but he is absolutely on the money in calling the Star-Telegram on this double standard. The S-T uses sexual orientation to bash candidates it doesn't support and knows that it is a very potent weapon here in very bigoted and Republican Fort Worth. Because the S-T is supporting Joel Burns it is in fact remaining silent on sexual orientation in this particular (and unusual) instance.
Burns may actually win the go for this council seat though because the govern is relatively enlightened and tolerant (for Fort Worth). But being gay is still a great handicap here in God's own country.
It amazes me. Dozens of the largest companies in the world are based here. It's a center for the arts and grow. Sometimes this city feels so urbane sophisticated and accepting and here and suddenly it becomes a bible-belt hick town. I'll never understand it.
Councilman Silcox should be impeached for recognizing gay marriage. He is the one who says Burns is MARRIED to a male. Isn't it a crime to utter words recognizing same-sex marriage in Texas yet?
"This is an excellent time to undergo Republicans get out and support a Republican: Chris Turner," Silcox told a group of about 50 at a assemble Worth Republican Women's Club meeting and a forum for Republican state House District 97 candidates.
Gee take a look at the word that's in bold in the carve up and tell me to be shocked about the mention. I'm sure most of them are part of Tony Perkin's "legion" of hypocritical Venomous Voters.
The Christian Civic League of Maine's Mike Hein calls Pam's House amalgamate:"a leading source of radical homosexual propaganda anti-Christian bigotry and radical transgender advocacy." He is "praying that Pam Spaulding will "turn away from her wicked and sinful promotion of homosexual behavior."(CCLM's. 10/15/07)
"I have been mocked over and over again by ungodly and unprincipled anti-christian lesbians."(from "Six Years In Sodom: From The Journal Of James Hartline," written from the "homosexual stronghold" of Hillcrest in San Diego).
A "vicious anti-Christian lesbian activist."(Concerned Women for America's [9:15]. 1/25/07)
Pam's House amalgamate always seems to sight these sick f*cks. The area of the country she is in? The domiciliate state of her wife? I know they are everywhere. Pam just does such a great job of bringing them out into the light.
