Bush Appoints More Homosexual Activists
By Stuart Shepard, correspondent
President Bush has quietly appointed four homosexual activists to mid-level spots in his administration.
The homosexual political group, Log Cabin Republicans is applauding President Bush for appointing four of its members to posts in the administration.
"President Bush has just done a phenomenal job and his approval ratings in the gay and lesbian community are higher than any Republican president has ever enjoyed," said Kevin Ivers, director of public affairs for the Log Cabin Republicans. "I think that these appointments actually reflect the core values of the Republican Party going back to the beginning, and certainly the core values of this president that qualified people who merit positions will get them."
The four were named to mid-level spots in the State Department, the Federal Transit Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency.
Bob Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute, is disappointed, but not surprised, at the appointments.
"We wouldn't be surprised that some homosexuals are among many hundreds of appointments made by the president," Knight said. "What makes these interesting is that they're homosexual activists working within the Republican Party to try to undermine the pro-family view toward homosexuality."
Former Republican presidential candidate and activist Gary Bauer was harsher in his criticism: "I think the administration is going in exactly the wrong direction and runs the risk of insulting and alienating its Evangelical and Catholic supporters."
Bauer, who heads American Values, said mid-level positions are where government work actually gets done.
"Personnel is policy," Bauer said. "When you place these sorts of appointees in government positions, it is absolutely predictable that their biases on homosexuality will affect the decisions that they make."
The Washington Blade, a homosexual newspaper published in Washington, D.C., reports that at least 15 more homosexual appointments are in the works.
Bush had previously named Wisconsin Log Cabin Republican leader Scott Evertz as director of the Office of National AIDS Policy — making him the highest-ranking homosexual to serve in a Republican administration.
