Dems Set Homosexual Quota for Convention by Keith Peters, Washington , D.C. , correspondent family.org If you want to be a delegate to the Democratic Party's national convention this summer — it might help to be gay. It appears the Democratic Party has a quota system for delegates to this summer's convention. State Democratic parties in 15 states and Puerto Rico are requiring that a specific number of their delegates be homosexual, bisexual or transgender. The requirement seems to be part of an effort by Democrats to aggressively court homosexuals and their money. Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute at Concerned Women for America , said in a time when the nation seems to be waking up from a culture of excess it's amazing that Democrats still don't get it. "If they're reaching out specifically to recruit people for delegates based on their willingness to perform perverse acts," Knight said, "then the Democratic Party is quickly becoming the party of sexual anarchy." Knight doesn't think it's good for Democrats or America . Mike Haley, who manages the Homosexuality and Gender department for Focus on the Family, said it appears the Democratic Party has lost sight of the ideals of the average American. "When the decision for gay marriage has been given to the people, anywhere across the country, even in California which is considered one of the most liberal of states," Haley said, "66 percent of the people there decided that marriage was to be kept between a man and a woman." The quotas might make you wonder about the party's goals — Haley certainly does. "(It) appears," he said, "that they are (trying) to undermine the idea and definition of marriage." Haley said homosexuals are being given minority status when in fact they don't deserve it.
