Can't gay and Moonie Republicans just get along?

Over The Moon: Religion Troubles The Ky. GOP's Big Tent

Religion and politics can be a combustible mixture. In Kentucky, a battle for control of the local Republican party ended in fisticuffs last weekend when two delegates argued over religion. According to the Louisville Courier-Journal, John Lawlor and Peter Hayes became embroiled in a heated exchange over who would attend the upcoming Republican National Convention. The gentlemen had "words" after the convention. Lawlor, who says he "was gay at one time" but isn't now, said Hayes asked whether he was having a sexual relationship with another male Republican. Hayes, a member of Rev. Sun Myung Moon's Unification Church, accused Lawlor of calling him a "Moonie." According to Hayes, Lawlor taunted him, chanting "Moonie, Moonie, Moonie, Moonie, Moonie." At that point, Lawlor claims Hayes "bopped" him on the left arm. Hayes, who believes Lawlor kept him off the delegate list for religious reasons, says he only tried to grab Lawlor's arm to get his attention.

Lawlor, who claims to have suffered a bruise and sore arm, has sworn out a warrant charging Hayes with assault. According to the newspaper, the conflict is scheduled to go into mediation.

Dear Mr Franklin: We regret to inform you that "republic" you gave us "if we could keep it" has dissolved into an absolute lunatic asylum.

Profile

The Baby Boomers dropped the ball and now it's time for the baby busters, Generation X to reverse the moral decline the preceding generation has led us to. What is the baby boomers' legacy? The sexual revolution, welfare families, unplanned pregnancies. Since the concurrent launch of their Bold album and Against The Flow ministries in fall 1997, Angie & Debbie Winan's message has been distorted by the media.
They've been accused of fostering hate because the song "Not Natural" from the album features a verse criticizing comedienne Ellen DeGeneres for coming out of the closet on her former ABC sitcom. The song does not single out homosexuality. It also criticizes pornography, abortion and crime. Angie & Debbie are speaking against an entire atmosphere and attitude that permeates today's society. It's a world that encourages fornication, sexual immorality and deviancy from New Testament biblical teaching.

Against The Flow stands against all things that contradict biblical teaching such as abortion, adultery, drug abuse, alcoholism, fornication, homosexuality, etc. The ministry is still in its embryonic stages, but seeks foremost to be a platform to deliver God's message of salvation and redemption to this lost generation. As a part of this ministry, Angie & Debbie have spoken this bold message in prisons, churches, youth groups, political marches and other community forums. They are building a coalition with other like-minded organizations to aid in turning this generation back to the laws of God. Aside from the ministry, the ladies have set-up Against the Flow Records to produce uncensored music that unabashedly praises God.
