Attacking Sexuality

We all know that the Obama Administration has appointed Kevin Jennings as the “Safe Schools” czar, but none of us really know what his job entails (this is true for all the czars, right?).  This video clip was found on Breitbart.tv of a speech Mr. Jennings made at the GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network) in Iowa in 2000 – How strange is it that homosexual rights activists claim that being so is biological – not a choice – when Mr. Jennings so clearly believes that heterosexuals are “recruiting” children aggressively.  He even goes so far as to claim that this is done with Romeo and Juliet, what’s next, wanting to censor heterosexual literature and replace it with solely homosexual works?

As a heterosexual woman, I must roll my eyes at this and hope we can weather the storm of contradictions and double standards being pushed by this administration.  Mr. Jennings, I think that with all that is wrong, and unjust in our education system, the sexuality of our children is not the most important thing you should be focused on — how about you instead determine a way to keep weapons and drugs off campus, an infinitely better use of your time!

Gay Marriage Debate Lies with Congress

In a calculated measure by gay rights groups the debate on the Federal recognition of same-sex marriages is facing Congress. 

In an AP article published today it was reported that the City Council of the District of Columbia has unanimously voted to recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere in the country. Supporters of the action are optimistic that the measure will pass Congress, who has final authority of the city’s laws.  This issue will undergo a thirty day Congressional review and a final vote will be completed in May.

This is a slippery slope for lawmakers to wander down because the situation in DC is different than that of most states.  The District of Columbia is under the legislative control of Congress, due to its status as a city, rather than a state.  Congress will undoubtedly review the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act which negated any federal recognition of same-sex marriages, yet leaves the issue up to individual states to determine legitimacy in their jurisdictions.

 The concern is this, if following Congressional review and the member vote passes the legitimacy of the DC City Council right to recognize gay-marriage, will the measure be un-stoppable moving toward a federal recognition of these unions?

It seems orchastrated, that with all that is facing lawmakers in Washington, the city council of DC would place this gem on the table.  With not enough republican support to derail the Obama administration on issues such as stimulus and an out-of-control budget that it would make for easy passage of this measure through Congress.
