E, why do you persist in worrying abut the future of homosexuals in government service. I think they should be banned from representing the country in anyway. Do you want the rest of the world to look at America as the "home of the queers"? In case you are wondering, I do not like the life style of homos. ^^TD^^

"If a president were to promise not to promote people he knew to be gay, would that be, to you, an anti-gay position?" Yes. Of course, we don't have any direct quote to this effect from any presidential candidate, do we?

Nope. More simple than that. I would like to see GWB's actual words, better still I'd like to see the tape, before I decide he is a "homophobe". Given my obvious skepticism for mainstream American "journalism" I will not convict based upon the paraphrasing of the very people who seem bent to drag him through the mud for unsubstantiated rumors, etc. I also do agree with Bill that I think the publicizing of one's sexual proclivities is inappropriate and unnecessary and may in fact constitute a basis to distinguish the individual from other candidates unless the issue of homosexuality is central to the position for which you are being considered.
