GOP Fesses Up To Anti-Gay Mailing

(Washington)
– The Republican National Committee has finally admitted that it was
responsible for a mass mailing that claimed Democrats would permit gay
marriage and ban the Bible.
…The
literature shows a Bible with the word “BANNED” across it and a photo
of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with
the word “ALLOWED.” The mailing tells West Virginians to “vote
Republican to protect our families” and defeat the “liberal agenda.”
The
mailing was aimed at evangelical Protestants, many of whom did not vote
in 2000. The RNC hopes it can attract the group to the polls this
November.
“At
least now the Republican party admits they are running a disgusting
campaign of bigotry for George W. Bush,” Eric Stern, Director of GLBT
Outreach, DNC, told 365Gay.com. “Instead
of running on his failed record, Bush has launched a campaign of
distortion in an effort to divide the country at the expense of gay and
lesbian Americans.”
