Romney Cannot Be Trusted to Enforce Constitution on Nov. 9

VoteOnMarriage/Mass. Family Institute thinks that Gov. Romney can be trusted to enforce the Constitution in November, if the Legislature fails to act on the VoteOnMarriage (VOM) petition at the Constitutional Convention. We say: Don't count on it! We're in this homosexual "marriage" mess because Romney did NOT enforce the Constitution back in May 2004!

If Romney were a man of principle, he would use his remaining time in office to acknowledge that error, that violation of his oath to uphold the Constitution, and rescind his executive orders that began homosexual "marriages".

Given Romney's national political ambitions, he may go the enforcement route this time, since national "conservative" eyes are more focused on him. But will he use law enforcement personnel to drag corrupt Legislators back in handcuffs (and then somehow force them to cast their votes -- with tazers, maybe?) if they refuse to take up the marriage amendment?

VoteOnMarriage/Mass. Family Institute still doesn't get it! The homosexual lobby has announced that if they don't have the votes to trounce the marriage amendment in November, they'll use any means necessary to bury it. Remember: The Speaker of the House just attended a fundraiser for the homosexual lobbying group. The Senate President attends "gay" weddings. Does VOM really believe Romney will stand up to them? He didn't stand up to Empress Margaret's unconstitutional "marriage" ruling. If Romney enforced that "law" that wasn't a law, should we expect he'll enforce a constitution that IS a constitution?

Why does VOM/Mass. Family Institute believe Romney can be trusted in November??? Don't they understand that ROMNEY IS THE REASON WE HAVE "HOMOSEXUAL MARRIAGE" IN MASSACHUSETTS NOW ... BECAUSE HE DID NOT ENFORCE THE CONSTITUTION FOLLOWING THE ABSURD SJC homosexual "marriage" ruling, but unconstitutionally ordered new marriage licenses to be printed, and ordered Town Clerks and Justices of the Peace to perform these fraudulent "marriages"! Why isn't VOM/MFI spending their time convincing the Governor to overturn these executive orders? The corruption of our Legislature -- and sadly, our Governor -- is so deep that polite people have trouble recognizing it.

From the Mass. Family Institute web site:

Marriage Amendment vote on track for Nov. 9: Though the Legislature ducked the issue of same-sex marriage last week-voting to recess until after the November elections-the issue is far from dead and the Marriage Amendment is alive and well. The House and Senate will meet again on Nov. 9 to debate the people's amendment in another Constitutional Convention.... We have more than enough votes to pass the Amendment before the end of this legislative session on Dec. 31. The current incumbents are the ones who will vote on Nov. 9 - their term does not end until Dec. 31, as is the case with Gov. Mitt Romney. We cannot forget that he is ready and willing to enforce the constitution should the Legislature shirk their responsibility."

Spawn of Queers?

How weird is this getting? GLBT activists -- or at least their "spawn" -- recently tried to place an entry in Wikipedia for "QUEERSPAWN" but were turned down by the editors. So spawning must differ from breeding? While breeder is a GLBT put-down for heteros, spawn is somehow positive in their countercultural minds?? (To our ears, both terms are dehumanizing, though breeders implies natural sexual union, while spawning implies impersonal mass fertilization of egg deposits. Hmm...)

The promoters of the term didn't meet certain Wikipedia criteria (it's nice to know there are still some rules). From the Bay Windows report:

Queerspawn is used by some children of LGBT parents to describe themselves to show their direct connection to the LGBT community, rather than to see their connection to the community as a product of their parents. Use of the term is far from standard, although the now-deleted Wikipedia article claims it was first proposed in 1995 by Stefan Lynch, first director of COLAGE (Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere). The text of the deleted Wikipedia entry was posted by self-identified queerspawn author Abigail Garner on her blog, DamnStraight.Oversampled.net....

While anyone can create or edit articles on Wikipedia, the site has content guidelines that users in the discussion said the queerspawn entry violated. One was that articles are required to cite published secondary sources, and much of the information on the evolution of the term in the queerspawn article did not cite such sources. Wikipedia also prohibits entries focused on new terms coined and used by certain communities but that do not appear in published dictionaries.

Pain In the Derriere?

Sept. 4, 2006 Note: Readers on both ends of the spectrum seem to have missed our point here. Never was there any intention of making light of the alleged rape victim's situation. The title of this posting refers to the pain of sodomy, and how the mainstream media coverage danced around that issue. It was the SODOMY rape that seems to have put the victim over the edge, to the point where she blew the whistle on her violator. We intended to point out how terribly unnatural sodomy is and the pain that it entails for someone not into sexual perversions. (Why else would your internist apologize before performing a rectal exam?) We were also drawing attention to the fact that the alleged rapist, who would seem to like anal sex, was working with YOUNG BOYS. We have not altered the posting below from its original:

The Boston Globe reports today on the alleged anal rape of a 17-year-old girl and client, by a male staffer at the Baker House, a center for at-risk teens in Dorchester. The staffer was in charge of a program of pre-adolescent boys. The question obviously comes to mind how the staffer related to those boys.

According to the report compiled by the DSS, the girl had earlier agreed to paid sexual encounters with the man, then balked at anal sex. (The implication is that this was a novel request.) She reportedly said no when he wanted to go there, but said he persisted.

On the afternoon of Jan. 5, the girl told prosecutors, she was in the basement playing cards when Patrick gave her "the cue," and she met him upstairs, where he asked her to go to a bathroom. She said he then offered her $40 to have anal sex. The teenager "stated that she told him 'no' several times, but he wasn't listening to her; he covered her mouth and did what he wanted anyway," the report says.

She reported the alleged episode to Baker House managers, including Rivers, who went to her house that night to pray with the girl and her mother and discuss what had happened, according to the DSS report and another document written by Baker House executive director Jeanette Boone. Before Rivers arrived, the girl left for the hospital because she said she felt sick to her stomach and was in "a lot of pain." [emphasis added]

The Globe also reports that the accused " ... had worked at the center for five years, had served time in the early 1990s for armed robbery and assault and battery. He had been in charge of a Baker House program for preadolescent boys." [emphasis added]

Catholic Colleges Allow GLBT Clubs

Georgetown University, a Catholic institution in D.C., has just booted Protestant groups from campus. But they still have a GLBTQ club. Here in Massachusetts, Catholic Boston College and College of the Holy Cross have similar identity crises, allowing GLBT clubs, GLBT staff associations, and productions of feminist/lesbian claptrap like the "Vagina Monologues," while claiming fidelity to Catholic teaching.

Back at Georgetown, GUPride, the LGBTQ club encourages students to "come out" at Georgetown." "GUPride provides educational and support services to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) communities at Georgetown University. We also provide support and referral services to those exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity and other individuals sharing an interest in these issues." Its announced activities include participating in "Drag Races" in D.C., " ... one of the city's most highly anticipated annual gay gatherings, with dozens of men and women racing in creative drag while onlooking crowds exceed 5,000."

There is also a Georgetown "Diversity Action Council" whose web pages begin with quotations from CampusPride.net. The univeristy offers courses in "Womanist Theology," women's studies, and feminist theory. We all know what that includes.

The promotion of homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality apparently is OK at the Catholic colleges, but Protestant Bible study groups are questionable! Imagine the damage they could do.

Massachusetts DSS Out of Control

The Massachusetts Department of Social Services (DSS) Adoption and Foster Care division is overrun with committed GLBT activists and sympathizers who believe in their hearts that traditional families are paternalistic, sexist, "heterosexist", sexually oppressive, and generally mired in outworn Judeo-Christian morality.

What better way to hasten their utopian society than place as many children as they can get their hands on with "families" headed by GLBT same-sex couples? Who cares if heterosexual couples have played by the rules and waited years on end with no adoptive placement? (See our previous posting on a DSS-funded group home for "GLBTQ" children.)

Example: Recently two homosexual men, in whose house DSS had placed a little boy, were honored as "Parents of the Year" by DSS. The DSS apparently took the boy from his birth parents and extended family against their wishes. ("Newton couple honored as ’Parents of the Year’ by DSS", Daily News Tribune, August 9, 2006.) Interesting: one daddy is 43 years older than the child, the other daddy is 47 years older. So on top of the boy learning up close that sodomy is a good thing and a valid basis for "marriage", he is saddled with "parents" who are beyond the age that was recently standard for adoptive parents (where at least one was to be not more than 40 years older than the child).

He [Daddy #1] said the day after Christian’s adoption was finalized, DSS officials approached the couple about adopting a second child. Their families would like them to bring a little girl into their home, Bryant said.

"There are times at 3 a.m., I realize why most people have children in their 20s," said Bryant, 46. Sadick [50] said the couple simply wants to enjoy the time they spend with Christian right now, but will consider adopting an older child through DSS in the future. [emphasis added]

Well, there are lots of heterosexual couples in their 20s and 30s dying to adopt a little child. But they are routinely passed over.

The DSS is another Massachusetts institution gone awry. Adoption is just one area they've mucked up. Breaking up families is another of their specialities. Check out the interview with Atty. Greg Hession on the MassResistance radio show (August 12/13), and his web site www.MassOutrage.com for more DSS horror stories. From his web site:

... so many clients have endured outrageous mistreatment at the hands of DSS agents and victim-witness advocates. To accomplish their ends, they use false allegations, and exploit the fact that the court system has abandoned due process of law (which means our constitutionally protected procedural rights such as jury trials, opportunity to be heard promptly, the rules of evidence, innocent until proven guilty, etc.).

Those who commit these outrages know that the system is biased in their favor, and that they can count on help from judges, guardians ad litem, and therapists. Many of them have adopted an agenda which is anti-family, without understanding the problems it causes. Some are merely afraid to stand as a bulwark against tyranny. Either way, children and harmed, and families torn apart needlessly.

Mass. DSS Promoting "Gender Identity Disorder" in Children?

State Reps. Martin Walsh and Liz Malia, with "trans" child in 2004.

[Photo by John Rich, Home for Little Wanderers fall 2004 newsletter.]

In 2004, State Reps. Martin Walsh & Liz Malia were photographed with a "transgender" child (a girl "identifying" as boy) at the Waltham House for "GLBTQ youth" run by the Home for Little Wanderers and the Mass. Department of Social Services (DSS). This is an apt symbol for where we are going in this state, allowing the GLBTQ radicals in our government to take our children into stranger and stranger worlds of sexual perversion. (The "T" stands for transgender/transsexual, which means denying one's gender, crossdressing, surgically removing sexual organs, etc.)

In July, the Mass. Legislature established a "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" which will be pushing for more of this sort of program. Along with GLBTQ clubs and assemblies in the high schools, "Waltham House" is a prime example of where the Commission's new "gay and lesbian youth suicide prevention" tax money will go. Following the lead of Waltham House, we predict that the categories "bisexual" and "transgender" will soon be added to the name of the new youth Commission. (Waltham House says it helps "Q" or questioning children too.)

Rather than helping parents get real help for their troubled children, our government is actually promoting the views and treatments recommended by radicals in the mental health profession who believe anything goes with sexual identity, gender, or sexual behaviors -- even in the early teenage years.

Why is the majority in the Massachusetts legislature promoting and supporting homosexuality, bisexuality, transgenderism-transsexuality, or "questioning" in minors? Why is the Department of Social Services and the Home for Little Wanderers funding a group home for children promoting dysfunction and perversion? Why do mental health professionals support and promote such disorders among our young, instead of counseling children OUT of such destructive behaviors and attitudes? (NOTE: Transgenderism is still listed as a disorder in the DSM-IV, the diagnostic manual of the psychiatric profession).

Read more about Reps. Malia and Walsh at the Waltham House (from Bay Windows, "A Port in the Storm," 8/12/04). Excerpts:

The residents at Waltham House, a group home for GLBT youth run by the Home for Little Wanderers, had a chance to spend time with some of their heroes Aug. 5 [2004] when Mass. state Reps. Liz Malia, D-Jamiaca Plain and Martin Walsh, D-Dorchester, paid a visit to their home. Malia, who is openly lesbian, and Walsh have been vocal opponents of a state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, and the teens, several of whom had protested against the amendment at the Statehouse earlier this year, said they were inspired by the legislators' work.

One of the residents, Al, 17, who like all the residents asked that their last names not be used, told Malia that he was moved by her February speech before the Legislature opposing the amendment. Waltham House staff read the text of the legislators' speeches to the residents before the visit....

The residents spoke with the legislators about their experiences both before and after coming to Waltham House, one of only three residential programs in the country specifically serving GLBT youth (the other two are in New York and Los Angeles). One of the residents, Justin, 17, who is transgender, said he was repeatedly harassed by students and administrators at the Catholic girls' school he attended for wearing his hair short. He said he was eventually expelled from school for shaving his head after the principal insisted he let his hair grow out.

"Coming to the Waltham House really turned me around and really gave me a huge amount of self-esteem that I didn't have," Justin told the legislators. "... This place turned me into the person I always wanted to be, turned me into the person where I can stand up and say, and shout out to people what I believe in and not have to just back down because I feel that I'm scared."

Al, who spent four years living in an all-girls residential facility before coming out as transgender, credited the staff at Waltham House with providing a stable environment for kids dealing with a whole host of issues, including GLBT issues. "When I feel like, how can anyone love me when I've done so many things wrong, how can anyone love me when my own family doesn't love me, [that] question is answered when the staff come in every single day, every single day regardless of what happens," said Al. He said that he worked in his own school to create a supportive environment for GLBT students by founding a gay/straight alliance, and he urged the legislators to work to make schools safer environments in which to come out for students with unsupportive families....

Opened in October 2002, the program currently houses 10 kids, with a potential capacity of 12. Like many kids in residential programs, residents of Waltham House may face a range of issues including abuse, familial rejection, substance abuse, homelessness, and other factors that have prompted the state's Department of Social Services to intervene and place them in a healthy and stable environment.

Program Director Karen Voorhees said that for all of the Waltham House residents, issues of sexual orientation or gender identity are central to many of their problems."I would say the target kid is the kid whose significant functioning problems are due to not being accepted for their gender or sexual identity, and so they come here and are able to function in a group home while being accepted for who they are," said Voorhees. "A lot of them come in and they say they haven't been allowed to talk about their sexual identity of their gender identity to even figure out what it is, so whatever it is they figure out is fine with us."

Rep. Liz Malia at Drag Queen Pageant

State Rep. Liz Malia, FAR LEFT (D - Boston/Jamaica Plain) at the Miss Mass Gay Latina drag queen pageant this past June, part of "Boston Pride." Her drag queen friend, name unknown, above. [All photos from InNewsWeekly.]


State Rep. Liz Malia is one of our least favorite legislators. She was instrumental in halting Gov. Romney's feeble attempt to disband the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth last May, and she was the Rep who called for a second vote to overturn his veto of the dangerous new independent "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" in July.

And what exactly is the "lifestyle" Rep. Malia wants to encourage our troubled youth to participate in? We can get an idea from her own "celebration" during "Boston Pride" week this past June. In some capacity, she attended a stenchy drag queen pageant during Pride, according to photos published by InNewsWeekly.

Is Malia the sort of person we want setting policy in our schools? Is this what the Massachusetts Legislature should be promoting as acceptable for our youth? Remember: this crossdressing-transgender-transsexual scene is a routine aspect of the GLBT world that the new "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" will be promoting as healthy and normal. The current commission director has announced their intention to add "Bisexual and Transgender" to its name -- and what better expression of "transgenderism" is there than a drag queen pageant???

Even the terribly compromised American Psychiatric Association still lists this sort of behavior as a disorder in its diagnostic manual: see "Gender Identity Disorder" in the DSM-IV. Yet our state government is supporting and promoting it among our youth!

Romney's Leadership Still Lacking on Education

Governor Romney has been such a disappointment, failing to provide leadership on education issues and parents' rights. Romney vetoed legislation last week that would have funded statewide pre-Kindergarten programs beginning at age 2. But his reason was purely fiscal. He refuses to confront head-on the other huge problem this legislation exemplified: that our public schools are essentially becoming leftist/GLBT indoctrination centers, and those in charge want access to our children beginning at the earliest ages. John Haskins, Associate Director of the Parents' Rights Coalition, comments:

Statewide pre-kindergarten programs? Is there any mystery what this is all about? Obviously Massachusetts pre-schoolers are in danger of learning their parents' moral and religious values. Something has to be done about that, and the solution is just what Mao, Lenin and Stalin prescribed: indoctrination beginning at age three. That should take care of those intolerant religious folks and their morality!

When will our side get it? This is no badminton match. This is total war. War for everything. There is no stopping point. The fanatical sexual revolutionaries, homofascists, and their enablers want all or nothing. "All" includes your children and your grandchildren and their civilization. Many pre-schools are already indoctrinating children without the knowledge of their parents. I know of specific examples. How long will it be before such programs are mandatory?

Unfortunately, vetoing such a bill is not nearly enough. Seizing the issue and warning parents and voters about what their legislators have in mind is what Romney would do if he were a conservative, or a man -- or even a real Mormon.

See the State House News Service report ("Democrats criticize Romney's veto of pre-K," 8/10/06):

Top lawmakers lashed out Monday at Gov. Mitt Romney's veto of a pre-kindergarten education bill, as Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey's gubernatorial campaign defended what a top Romney adviser conceded was a politically difficult position.

The co-chairs of the Legislature's Committee on Education [Sen. Antonioni and Rep. Haddad -- both favoring the Planned Parenthood/GLBT agenda for our schools] said they hoped the House and Senate return later this year in formal sessions to try to override the veto of a Department of Early Education and Care bill, although both conceded they were unaware of any such plans.

"I don't think he really understands what this legislation was meant to do. [We agree!] It's the next step in refining that department," said House Education Committee chair Patricia Haddad (D-Somerset), who called the bill a guidebook for a state effort to furnish universal access to pre-kindergarten education.

Romney vetoed the bill Friday, after lawmakers had rejected his plan to change the bill by cutting out the language to expand state commitments for pre-K education. Rather than commit immediately to what he said could be a $1 billion-plus per year hit to taxpayers, Romney encouraged waiting for the results, due next February, of a $4.6 million pilot program provided for in this year's budget....

The legislation avoided both pinning a cost on the program and identifying a revenue source - in part, Haddad said, because the bill instructed the department to conceive of a five-year plan, with subsequent details to be worked out based on that blueprint. "We can't talk about a revenue source until we know what the actual cost is going to be," Haddad said....

A spokesman for House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi said in an e-mailed statement that Romney's veto meant Romney had "flipped his position" since 2004, when he signed the law creating the [early education] department.

Who Controls the Massachusetts Legislature?

Left: House Speaker DiMasi (on left) consulting with Bill Conley, recently arrested "gay" lobbyist.

Right: "Gay" lobbyist Bill Conley (in center) giving marching orders to Representatives including David Linsky (on right) of Natick. Linsky filed a bill in the last session to decriminalize bestiality (and sodomy).

Sal DiMasi, Speaker of the Massachusetts House of Representatives, would like us to believe that he is giving the orders at the State House. But it appears that the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus (MGLPC) is pulling many of the corrupted strings in this state. And now that one of Massachusetts' own, Patrick Guerriero, is running the Gill Foundation (which doles out millions for the most radical GLBT causes), we can expect to see more of our legislators bending over for that lobby.

For years, Bill Conley (lobbyist for MGLPC and MassEquality) has been a favorite visitor to DiMasi's office. Conley, recently arrested for soliciting UMass college boys for oral sex, continued to lobby at the State House through July -- for weeks after his arrest -- against the marriage referendum and for homosexual programs in our public schools. And DiMasi was guest of honor at a Back Bay fundraiser for MGLPC (which pays Conley's salary) -- almost three weeks after Conley's arrest.

DiMasi has the utmost respect for Conley. Here's what DiMasi said at that fundraiser (InNewsWeekly, 8-2-06):

The House speaker also spoke personally of his Italian immigrant heritage and his legal training, all of which easily brought him along the yellow brick road of gay equality. DiMasi said his grandfather taught him that "everyone in America has equal opportunity." [Would his Italian immigrant grandfather have thought "equal opportunity" included sodomy "marriage"?] He added, "That's what everybody deserves." DiMasi also offered words of encouragement for the battle ahead to preserve marriage equality. "The battle will be won by each and everyone of you going out, proving to everyone that you are a good human being, a valued member of the community," he said. "Guess what?" the House speaker said. "You have been extremely successful in creating [that kind of] goodwill." Added DiMasi, "I may have given you the opportunity but you really made the difference."

. . .Grace Sterling Stowell ["male-to-female trans" person, busy pushing transsexuality on our school children], executive director of Boston Area Gay and Lesbian Youth, or BAGLY, said she came to thank the Caucus for its continuing support for youth funding. [Note: BAGLY identifies itself as the "Boston Alliance for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Youth."]

And did Speaker DiMasi give Grace a little peck on the cheek after her talk?

Who Is Patrick Guerriero?

Patrick Guerriero, Exec Director of the Gill Action Fund

Mass. Homosexual Lobbyists: Conley, Shapiro, Isaacson: Bay Windows, the Boston "gay" newspaper, recently identified Guerriero (above) as part of the GLBT lobbying team in the Massachusetts State House. He joins these three (left): Bill Conley (recently arrested for solicitation); Norma Shapiro of the ACLU; Arline Isaacson, who works for both the MGLPC and teachers' union (MTA). [Team Photo: Bay Windows.]

In the aftermath of Bill Conley's arrest for solicitation, the GLBT lobby is discussing what it can get away with, and to what extent it needs to regroup. Bay Windows reports that a major new player will be joining the team: Patrick Guerriero, formerly head of the national Log Cabin Republicans, former Mass. State Rep, and former mayor of Melrose. (He was also chosen by Acting Governor Jane Swift to be her running mate for Lt. Gov., though Mitt Romney stepped in and that team never ran.)

Guerriero has just been named Executive Director of the Gill Action Fund which, according to Wikipedia, "was created in August of 2005 from the political donations of Colorado gay millionaire Tim Gill, to coordinate activities with gay rights and other allied organizations, and to embark in activities that the tax code prohibits the nonprofit Gill Foundation from performing. Gill has donated over 100 million dollars (US) to LGBT causes, either directly or through the [Gill] Foundation."

"Basically this entity will become one of the largest funders of LGBT political work in the nation," said Guerriero, who was no doubt hired in part due to his connections in this state. Now the Gill Foundation's MILLIONS will pour into the all-important Massachusetts GLBT beachhead, focusing not only on the "marriage" issue, but also on the homosexual programs in the schools.

In fact, the wording of the law establishing the new independent "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" specifically allows for outside, private funding of its activities. (This is in contrast to usual government agencies or school departments, whose allocations are regulated by elected representatives, giving the voters/taxpayers some control.)

From Bay Windows, "MassEquality, Caucus ponder next moves" (8-10-06):

The MassEquality coalition was formed to preserve equal marriage rights in Massachusetts after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court issued its ruling in the Goodridge marriage lawsuit. Isaacson, who has more than two decades of experience lobbying on Beacon Hill, oversees the team of lobbyists working on marriage equality. Until two weeks ago, Conley, as the only full-time lobbyist working on LGBT issues, formed the core of the lobby team. During an interview with Bay Windows early this year for a story on MassEquality’s lobbying efforts, Isaacson said that Conley spent “99 percent” of his time at the State House working on marriage equality. [They're definitely underplaying the time Conley spent lobbying for homosexual education and youth outreach programs.]

In addition to Isaacson, who works as a lobbyist for the Massachusetts Teachers Association, the other core member of the lobby team is Norma Shapiro, who is the legislative director for the Massachusetts chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. This week, Isaacson said that other members of her team include MassEquality’s Solomon, Ann Lambert, who is a lobbyist for the ACLU, Holly Gunner, a board member of the ACLU and Patrick Guerriero, who is leaving his post as president of the Log Cabin Club at the end of this month to work for the Colorado-based Gill Foundation.

Heather Has 2 Moms and 3 Dads

"PolyBoston" marched in the Boston Pride parade this past June. But for the most part, the polygamist/polyamorist activists are working behind the scenes. They know they have to keep things somewhat quiet until the public has totally accepted "homosexual marriage." Then the idea of group free-for-all "marriages" and "alternative domestic arrangements" won't seem at all shocking.

Are Americans so pummeled by "homosexual marriage" that they don't even care that polygamy and polyamory are poised to make the same demands for legal and educational recognition? Elizabeth Marquardt, author of recent book on the impact of divorce on children, reviews some of the behind-the-scenes push for "poly rights." See "Two mommies and a daddy: The future of polygamy" (The Christian Century, July 25).

She points us to the Unitarian Universalists for Polyamory Awareness, which writes: "UUPA defines polyamory as the philosophy and practice of loving or relating intimately to more than one other person at a time with honesty and integrity. UUPA is an independent organization, not affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Association."

Marquardt also mentions the Polyamory Society, whose web site has a page on Poly Children's education. (The language strikes us as very like what our Massachusetts government is now using to protect "GLBT teens.") The polyamorists seek to "create or expand public policies that serve the best interests of PolyChildren." The needs and rights of poly children must be protected! On what grounds can our public schools deny a place to the poly storybooks such as Heather has 2 Moms and 3 Dads, Homie the Cat and his Family, and The Magical Power of Mark's Many Parents. This is a "time of transition from the monogamously dominated paradigm to consensually open relationships integration into mainstream culture."

Get ready!

Background Checks on GLBT Activists Working with Teens?

By Massachusetts law, no adult may work with a child unless he's undergone a background check for past criminal offenses (the CORI check, for "Criminal Offender Record Information"). This is true for all school teachers, staff, administrators, bus drivers, and chaperones for school trips. Parents cannot even go on a school trip with their child unless they've gone through an official CORI check!

Ch. 385 of the Acts of 2002, Section 1 amends Sec. 6 of the Mass. General Laws as follows: "Sec. 172H : ... any entity or organization primarily engaged in providing activities or programs to children 18 years of age or less that accepts volunteers, shall obtain all available criminal offender record information from the criminal history systems board prior to accepting any person as a volunteer."

So MassResistance asks: Have all those adults working with our children through the GLBT activist programs focused on youth -- GLSEN, PFLAG, BAGLY, Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth members, etc., and volunteers attending their events -- complied with this CORI regulation? Was Bill Conley, member of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, for instance, required to have a CORI check before he spent all that time with children participating in Youth Pride, most of whom were under 18? What about all those other volunteers at Youth Pride? GLSEN's annual conferences, PFLAG events, BAGLY meetings -- all involve many children under 18. Who is monitoring these staff and volunteers working unsupervised with vulnerable youth?

At a GLSEN conference we attended some years ago, we encountered young men in their 20s who were clearly cruising for young companions. It's not just what they're handing out at these conferences (e.g., the Little Black Book), it's who's attending and striking up acquaintances with the kids.

“We know that our detractors will continue to mischaracterize and misrepresent what we do and who we are,” says Haley [GLSEN Boston director, after admitting they handed out the Little Black Book to children]. “We have always had a screening process for all the materials [but what about the people?] that enter; we are redoubling our effort in that regard to be sure that all materials on table and elsewhere are age-appropriate.” Haley also notes that every workshop will be monitored for safety and age-appropriate content. Security [to keep out pro-family observers!] will also be on hand at the event. “We are doing everything we can possibly think of to create the safest most appropriate day of learning that we can,” Haley says. (See "Register for next GLSEN conference," Bay Windows, 4-20-06. And we may ask, WHY is Bay Windows encouraging its readers to register for the GLSEN conference???)

BAGLY's website (Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth) says, "All of our meetings are facilitated by young people 22 and under." It's the adult staff and miscellaneous volunteers we wonder about there. We know from his own writing that an extremist "gay" attack blogger and his "husband" chaperoned at the BAGLY queer/trans prom at Boston City Hall in 2005. (This man was on the credits for a gay porn film -- don't know if it was soft or hard... haven't seen it yet. Hey Buddy, send me a copy! -- Look for the "Boom Boom Boy" in Hooking Up.)

What about the "mentoring" opportunities" listed by the "Friends of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth"?

The idea of the law is to protect the children of this state. Is it all just a sham? See MGL, Ch. 28A, Sec. 1: "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the commonwealth to assure every child a fair and full opportunity to reach his full potential by providing and encouraging services which strengthen family life and support families in their essential function of nurture for a child’s physical, social, educational, moral, and spiritual development. Every child shall be entitled to the full protection of the commonwealth."

Who is defining "moral and spiritual development" for our children? Mr. Bill Conley?

Arrested Gay Lobbyist Conley's Role on Youth Commission?

What role did William Conley -- the lead State House lobbyist for the GLBT crowd -- play as member of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth? Did he agree with inviting dangerous adults and groups who "volunteered" at "Youth Pride" days, for instance? (Note that Conley is one of the men standing on the State House steps with the Commission banner, cheering children on at the 2005 Youth Pride parade.)

Now that Conley's arrest for solicitation of college boys has hit the news, is Prince Jarrett Barrios (a.k.a. Senator Fluff) still planning to seat him as a member of the new independent Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth? Clearly, Conley has the needed expertise.

According to the news reports, Conley was willing to pay $50-$150 for "oral relief" depending on the servicing boy's "experience." This sort of behavior -- renting boys -- is after all part and parcel of the gay lifestyle. Why wouldn't the Commission want someone with such experience? And since there's NO OVERSIGHT of this new Commission by people outside of the lifestyle, Prince Barrios can seat whomever he pleases.

Getting back to our original question -- what role did Conley play on the Commission? We wonder if he may have invited these groups known to have taken part in "Youth Pride" days:

• PUMP (a support group for young male prostitutes, many who are HIV/AIDS patients).
• Lambda Car Club -- "gay" antique car lovers ("Boys with their Toys," shouts their home page with a man's naked rear as their logo), who were volunteering to drive the youth participants around.
• GenderCrash, advocating transgender/transsexual madness.
• Assorted volunteers rounded up by Bay Windows, Boston Pride, Jesuit Urban Center (well-known "gay" hangout claiming to be a Catholic church), etc.

The point is that people like Conley in the radical GLBTQIP movement think all these groups and audiences are legitimate, and OK to connect with our children. And that putting kids in touch with such people helps prevent suicides!

What kind of person is chosen to serve on the Commission for Gay and Lesbian Youth?

Bill Conley, recently arrested for solicitation of college boys, is head GLBT lobbyist at the State House. Conley has been a proud member of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. And now, we assume, he will hold his head up high as a member of the new INDEPENDENT Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth.

They're so full of "PRIDE" . . . these people know no SHAME.

Prominent "Gay" Lobbyist Arrested for Solicitation of College Boys

You will know them by their deeds. William Conley, openly homosexual lobbyist for the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, was arrested on July 8 for soliciting oral sex from college students, reports the Boston Herald today ("Sex-solicit sting nets lobbyist for gay group"). Gee, why didn't we see this story in Bay Windows?

We've published a photo showing Conley standing on the State House steps with the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" banner on "Youth Pride" day. The adults running the GLBT political groups are certainly working hard to find fresh meat.

Conley is often seen prancing around the State House as if he owned the place. Why, we just ran into him in a Rep's office a few weeks back (after his arrest!) pushing for the new, independent, unconstitutional "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth." Always dressed immaculately in a business suit, he conveys respectability to the max. His testimonies pushing homosexual indoctrination in the schools are quietly confident. At the hearing on the marriage amendment in May, he stood at the front of the hearing room near the Legislators' panel, acting as MC to the hearing, ushering his people to the table at just the right moment, using his height and clean-cut image to intimidate. Apparently, the stress of this role-playing builds up and he has a tremendous need to access "oral relief" (see story below).

This is the person whose salary House Speaker DiMasi helped raise at the MGLPC fundraiser a few nights ago!

From the Herald article:

A Springfield man busted in an alleged attempt to solicit sex from University of Massachusetts students in return for cash is a paid lobbyist for a pro-gay marriage advocacy group. William G. Conley, a lobbyist for the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus, was arrested by UMass police after allegedly posting a message on the Internet bulletin board Craigslist.com offering work to a college student.

Conley, 59, allegedly replied in an e-mail to an undercover cop posing as a student that he was willing to pay $50-$150 for “oral relief,” according to a report in The Republican of Springfield. Police arranged a meeting and arrested Conley on July 8. ...

Robert Paine Blog: Romney Created "Same-Sex Marriage"

Check out Robert Paine, Esq. Written by an attorney, there's lots to digest on this blog in his series of articles entitled, "The Governor’s New Clothes; How Mitt Romney Brought Same-Sex Marriage To America."

John Haskins first alerted us to Paine's important argument "that it is not even clear that the Legislature could constitutionally create 'homosexual marriage.' The term 'marriage' is written into the state constitution. This presents an insurmountable obstacle for all three branches of government. There is abundant Massachusetts and federal case law demonstrating that no term used in the constitution can be redefined except by a constitutional amendment."

Robert Paine was a Founding Father, signer of the Declaration of Independence, first attorney general of Massachusetts, speaker of the Massachusetts House, member of the Continental Congress and a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

We also understand from Paine that the new "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" violates the Constitution, by essentially creating an independent fourth branch of the Massachusetts government.

The Ghosts of History

From John Haskins:
The ghosts of history (and the present) are whispering in our ears

For those who believe Mitt Romney's claim that he is "defending" marriage and the natural human family, and that he was forced to strike down his own oath of office, nullify a state constitution and order illegal and void homosexual "marriage":

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Benjamin Disraeli

For Governor Mitt Romney:

"You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips." - Oliver Goldsmith

For those who believe that:
~ there is such a thing as a "homosexual (or bisexual or transgendered) child"
~ that Americans who hold to traditional moral values are beating them up and forcing them to commit suicide by the tens of thousands
~ that to rescue these "homosexual children" we must indoctrinate every American child to believe that anal sex and lesbianism are normal, innocent, and beautiful behaviors and that the amply proven harm that causes and results from them is imaginary
~ that nature and God and thousands of years of human history and common sense and 150 years of psychological and sociological research into how boys and girls need both fathers and mothers are irrellevant; and that any rebuttal to the surreal propaganda of "gay families" is just seathing, murderous, homophobic "hate":

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
- H. L. Mencken

For those who believe that the Next Great Hope of the Republican Party (much less the Democrat Party) will do anything to restore our constitutions, our values, our rights as parents to parent our own children, to reverse the gradual criminalization of Judeo-Christian values, or even read with an honest mind the constitution he or she swears to defend:

"We are perpetually being told that what is wanted is a strong man whonwill do things. What is really wanted is a strong man who will undo things; and that will be the real test of strength." - G.K. Chesterton

For those who think that anti-faith, anti-truth, anti-reality, anti-child, anti-family, anti-heterosexuality, anti-humanity "tolerance" and "diversity" are leading to anything but destruction, social anarchy and political tyranny -- and for those who have noticed that these fruits of atheistic relativism are being propagandized as having the stamp of approval of Jesus Christ and "true religion":

"Atheism in itself has no cohesive force. Whatever social cohesion it has provided so far has come more from its destructive hostility to the Christian civilization it has totally failed to improve on." - Joseph Sobran

Legal Meaning of "Marriage" Already Excluded "Gay" Couples

Comment by John Haskins
Associate Director, Parents' Rights Coalition

Notice in the article on the recent Washington state ruling, "Supreme Court upholds state gay marriage ban," it appears that once again the attorneys on our side miss a fundamental argument: The concept of "marriage," in legal and colloquial use, already has a definition that excludes homosexuality.

Even the Goodridge decision explicitly admitted that under Massachusetts statute, "marriage" is the union of two persons of the opposite sex. There can be no fundamental right to take advantage of a right to do "A" by doing something that is not "A" and merely calling it "A". An entirely new and separate right would have to be "found" in a constitution -- or invented by a legislature. You cannot hijack an existing legal term and pretend that it means what even the outlaw judges of the Goodridge court admitted it could not legally mean.

"Marriage" is by definition an opposite-sex contract. Homosexuals absolutely do have a legal right to marry -- but like anyone else, they must marry members of the opposite sex, because that is what "marriage" is legally. That they do not want marriage -- but want something completely different to be called "marriage" -- does not mean that they can strike down constitutions and democratic self-government by stripping language, and thus law, of its obvious meaning.

So much of the Left's constitutional and political revolution is based on our accepting their clever "word lies." The right to "privacy," which sounds extremely reasonable, actually means "the right to kill another human being." We are not even on the playing field if we do not realize that redefining words -- while pretending to be faithful to those words -- is actually an act of legal, intellectual, and spiritual war. Why do we accept that they own words? If they own words, they own reality and law and theology and morality and everything else.

If words really don't matter, why do we serve a God who calls Himself "the Living Word"? If our enemy owns words, they own God. If we refuse to defend words and concepts and meaning itself, and we prefer to piddle around in the shallow water of legal technicalities, are we really the people of the Living Word?

The failure to assert the specific legal meaning of "marriage" at every opportunity is an example of incompetence and a profound failure to comprehend the level at which the Culture War is being fought, both inside and outside the courtroom. If "marriage" is a term without actual legal and linguistic meaning, then of course it can be argued that homosexuals have a right to redefine it for the rest of society.

House Speaker DiMasi Agrees with Coakley-Rivera on "Hate"

What game is the Boston Herald editorial staff playing? They know full well that House Speaker DiMasi is not at all upset with Rep. Coakley-Rivera's charges of "hate" leveled at Rep. Philip Travis (and anyone who believes homosexual "marriage" is absurd and unacceptable). The Herald is calling for Coakley-Rivera to apologize for her remarks. Why would she, when she knows DiMasi has totally sold out to the extremist homosexual agenda? Why did he include her in his leadership to begin with, if he didn't agree that her viewpoint was valid, or at least a "voice" he wanted represented on his team?

Doesn't the Herald know that DiMasi will be the guest of honor at the upcoming homosexual lobby fundraiser on July 27? And what does that lobby advocate: "No discrimination in the Constitution" -- meaning, any attempt to ban "gay marriage" is hateful discrimination. That's all that Coakley-Rivera was charging. (Look at their buddy group, KnowThyNeighbor.org, which has published the names of all the signers of the marriage referendum in order to intimidate them. They hold banners saying anyone who signed is a "bigot.")

DiMasi was honored by another homosexual activist group last winter. (See photo of DiMasi receiving his award from the group "My Age".) He's been very public about his full support of the "gay" agenda. Just read Bay Windows.

Maybe the Herald means to say that the whole "gay marriage" movement should apologize to everyone else in Massachusetts?

New Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth: Precursor to Hate Crimes Tribunal?

This past Wednesday, radical openly lesbian state legislators called names and -- in hysterical outbursts -- stifled debate on Governor Romney's veto of the new extra-constitutional independent Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. (And don't forget the other youth to be "protected" by this Commission: Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Questioning, Polyamorous, etc.).

Sorry as this debate was, and silly as the reason given by the Governor for vetoing it ("it is duplicative"), at least it was vetoed. But whichever candidate is elected Governor in 2006, there will not even be vetoes of similar nonsense! MassResistance warns: a Hate Crimes Commission (or "tribunal" as in Canada) will be next ... possibly thrown in as a stealth "amendment" to a budget item as was done here.

From the State House News Service, here's the "debate" on this devious ploy from "gay" State Senator Jarrett Barrios, a.k.a. "Senator Fluff".

[July 19, 2006] INDEPENDENT COMMISSION ON GAY AND LESBIAN YOUTH:
Rep. Donato said question comes on the governor’s veto in H 5000, section 4. Romney vetoed the section, he said, because it was “duplicative.” The section outlines membership on a “permanent” 27-member unpaid commission on gay and lesbian youth. It establishes the commission as “an independent agency of the commonwealth and shall not be subject to the control of any other department or agency.” Rep Donato said if the chair hears no objection, we will consider no action taken on this matter.

Rep. Travis objected. Rep. Donato, in the chair, made a motion to call Rep. Travis to the rostrum where they had a private conversation, along with Reps. Jones and Petrolati.

The House then suspended rules and question came on the veto override. Rep. Donato began calling the vote and Rep. Travis was asking to be recognized. Rep. Donato said for what purpose does the gentleman rise? Rep. Travis said to speak on the issue.

Rep. Travis said we are pressing our green buttons and reading these after the fact. I wish to let you know what this is. I would like to ask someone carrying this to come forward and say why we have to have a duplicate commission. This is a brand new section that is called gay youth commission. It is redundant and I would like to know the need for this and why it does not come under any state department whatsoever. It is separate and equal to something we have on the books. None of us voted against the original commission. Why do we need it? I don’t think we do.

Rep. Coakley-Rivera [openly lesbian] said for a long time I sat here, for eight years, and I listened to the hate in this chamber and from the man who just walked away and that is why we need a commission - so children do not commit suicide and people like the gentleman who walked away don’t continue to feed hate, so children don’t take drugs - children feel something is so wrong with them that they take their own life. This is why we need two commissions.

Rep. Travis asked to be recognized. Rep. Donato banged the gavel and called a brief recess.The chamber had fallen silent and a handful of members applauded Rep. Rivera. [Wait -- we thought it was Coakley-Rivera... Names change, sexual identities change... She used to be just Rivera.] Rep. Coakley-Rivera was recognized again and said I will move on.

Rep. Travis said point of personal privilege - the rules of the House say a colleague does not attack a colleague no matter how vehemently they feel. The lady at the microphone attacked me. We have just done a line item on the question of suicide and overrode that item. That point has been settled. I wish she would address the question I asked.

Rep. Donato, in the chair, said the chair will pay close attention to the debate.

Rep. Coakley-Rivera said because there is so much hate and bigotry about gays and about me and my sexuality. I was one of the few who made it out and can stand here and talk. I am able to love a woman in a loving and caring way and not everyone can do that. God made me and my straight parents made me and love me for who I am. That is why we create commissions to help people understand differences of the world and help children understand the differences of the world so they can better deal with hate and bigotry in the world. We all know what this is about. It’s about people who don’t like gays and lesbians and don’t like their lifestyles and they use the church to excuse their hate and bigotry. We need as many commissions to deal with children committing suicide and taking drugs and dealing with gay and lesbian issues. Thank you Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Travis said if my lips said to you what that lady just said I said, I would apologize to all of you. I never spoke any word she said. She answered why we need a second commission. If the commission in place is doing its proper job and exposing children to different lifestyles, I accept that. It is the law. [While we disagree with Rep. Travis on these points, at least he spoke up!] We are creating a second commission on the same activity. She said we need all the time and money to influence our children. My point of view is different and exposure at the earliest age is wrong and parents tell me that on a regular basis. My job is to not let this pass. It is not in the public interest. I stand on that premise. I do not attack any gay or straight person for any reason. I have never done that and am not going to start this evening. You are picking on me as a straight person and I resent that. I have great respect for the lady.

There was a smattering of applause for Rep. Travis.

BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 98-52, VETO SUSTAINED

Rep. Malia [openly lesbian] moved reconsideration, Rep. Donato said. As Rep. Travis called to be recognized, Rep. Donato quickly called the vote in the affirmative on a voice vote. Rep. Peterson said I doubt the vote. Rep. Donato said can I have a brief recess. Many lawmakers headed to the front of the chamber. RECESSES: After several minutes, Rep. Donato at 5:46 pm said Rep. Petrolati moved to recess until 6 pm. Motion adopted. [Now what was happening during the recess? Did the "gay" lobby move in and threaten to flood hundreds of thousands into challengers' campaigns, unless certain vulnerable reps changed their votes???] ...

Rep. Travis said ... The vote was 52 on this issue. I remember a discussion in caucus about removing outside sections from this budget. This is a subject that is controversial. It has had no public hearing. It is called a substitute for the governor’s commission. I have heard no complaints in my district or from the other side that that commission did not function well within the school system.... This issue can be taken up at another time and be spoken about in a hearing room where people can give testimony on both sides. They would not be under any legislative or executive branch oversight. Under that premise of accountability, I hope the veto is overridden.

With Rep. Tobin asking to be recognized, Rep. Donato, in the chair, opened the roll call. Rep. Atsalis voted no on the last roll call, with unanimous consent.
BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 104-44, VETO OVERRIDDEN

Senator Fluff gets his way; lots of little "GLBTs" will be created by this act of the Massachusetts Legislature -- though not by the Creator.

Homosexual Programs in Schools Lead Children to Dangerous Sex Change Info

Open Letter to Massachusetts State Representatives:

Please UPHOLD GOV. ROMNEY'S VETOES of funding for programs pushing homosexuality, bisexuality, and transsexuality in our public schools. These programs lead children to dangerous sex change information, planting the idea that this is something to seriously consider for themselves.

The GSA's ("gay straight alliance" clubs in the schools) and the proposed commission supported by this funding lead students to BAGLY -- the "Boston Alliance of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Youth" -- and associated groups like it around the state. That name alone should alarm you. It's an organization headed by a male-to-female transsexual who lectures young people on the bizarre world of transgenderism and transsexuality.

If you look at the BAGLY website, their Resource page leads children to a sex-change website. On this "transgender care" site, young people can read about the "penile inversion technique" of "neo-vagina construction" -- complete with graphic illustrations ... and many other unnatural and dangerous things.

See the BAGLY resource page and the sex change site it connects children to. Is this what our children should be exposed to?

"Gays" Label Heterosexuals "Breeders"

Listen up, all you heterosexuals. Did you know you're just "BREEDERS"?

Where's the hate? Surprising that the Boston Globe would even report this latest spew from the Culture of Death. We've seen this insult hurled before in the "gay" press, but not reported in the MSM. From "A new intolerance visits Provincetown: Police say gays accused of slurs" (July 14, 2006). Note that the police do not consider these incidents hate crimes:

PROVINCETOWN -- Town leaders here are holding a public meeting today to air concerns about slurs and bigoted behavior. And this time, they say, it's gay people who are displaying intolerance.

Police say they logged numerous complaints of straight people being called "breeders" by gays over the July Fourth holiday weekend. Jamaican workers reported being the target of racial slurs. And a woman was verbally accosted after signing a petition that opposed same-sex marriage, they said.

The town, which prizes its reputation for openness and tolerance, is taking the concerns seriously, though police say they do not consider the incidents hate crimes....
