View Article  PG Letters to Editor on Gay Issues

A quick round of the PG's latest gay coverage ....

First, the ugly.  From Jennifer Freker  of Bethel Park a letter to the PG editor ....


God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!


You tell 'em Jennifer.  Make sure we know all about the abnormalities of a Godless society and how much friggin' bravery it takes to calls gays "sick and perverted." 

Listen up you homohater... before you continue spewing about the Pledge of Allegiance being ripped out of the schools, you should take a look at how YOU have excluded God from your personal beliefs.  Remember the parts about loving your neighbor?  The things Jesus said.  People like you give Christianity a bad name.

Now the good, a letter from Devin Browne of the Hill District pointed out that while homos are good enough to teach in the Pittsburgh Public Schools, our families aren't deserving of equal health insurance coverage ... he correctly writes:


This restriction is something most conservative megacorporations gave up years ago.

And, last, a blurb from The Morning File ... the evangels are up in arms over Starbucks.


Grande latte, hold the gay


Lesbians drink mochas anyway.  Next.

Michael  Diven
					 (Republican)
					
				It seemed like such a simple request.  She wrote to The Honorable Mike Diven, Republican member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives.  Her mission?  To ascertain how Diven would vote on the proposed anti-gay marriage amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution.

What Diven offered in response is a testament to why the Democrats should be able to recapture this seat. 

 

So we are not in agreement on which issue?  Gay marriage?  Amending the constitution?  Ignoring tax reform, health care and the economy to focus on this issue?   Which issue, Mike?

It is obvious he means gay marriage because he spends two whole pages outlining current law on gay marriage.  Illustrating that he did not read the original letter for content, but just KEY WORDS. 

Clearly, someone on his staff knows how to do a legislative search and has a partial understanding of the difference between state and federal matters.  What remains unclear is if that same person is able to read for content.

Hmmm ... now that's a useful suggestion.  I'll write to Mike Doyle to ask how he plans to vote on amending the Pennsylvania constitution.

In the end, Mikey does not tell us how he intends to vote.  Is he being politically coy or just stupid?

Hmmmm .....
