CWA says domestic partners bill a precursor to same-sex 'marriage'

A spokesman for Concerned Women for America warns that yet another piece of legislation being promoted in the Democrat-led Congress would force taxpayers to subsidize immoral and dangerous behavior.

Senators Gordon Smith (R-Oregon) and Joe Lieberman (I-Connecticut) have introduced a bill that will extend domestic partner benefits to homosexual federal employees. The measure would allow an employee and his or her same-sex partner to be eligible for federal health benefits, the Family and Medical Leave program, long-term care, insurance, and retirement benefits. Representatives Tammy Baldwin (D-Wisconsin), who is an open homosexual, and Tom Lantos (D-California) have introduced the bill in the House and included foreign service workers for the first time.

Matt Barber is policy director for cultural issues at Concerned Women for America in Washington, DC. He says the bill is the camel's nose in the tent for a litany of pro-homosexuality legislation, along the lines of the Employment Nondiscrimination Act.

"For the government to take a moral stance here people who engage in homosexual conduct is essentially equating that conduct to natural sexual relations between married, heterosexual couples," states Barber. "This really introduces us to the whole idea of gay 'marriage' at the national level to federal ENDA." .....(more)

1. Businesses don't want to pay healthcare costs for same sex 'spuses'. Sensing fraud. In Canada...

2. That's the 'news' site I go to ..

when I want to remind myself about how crazy hardright fundamentalists are.

Thousands of people worried about manufactured issues, ignoring how they are being screwed by this Misadministration and its cohorts (see "What's The Matter With Kansas?" for insight into my nutty fundamentalist relatives' viewpoints).

3. CWA???

As far as I'm concerned,CWA stands for "Communications Workers Of America," the union that represented me for many years when I was working in the telecommunications industry. They have been instrumental in me being able to actually have "domestic partnernership" benefits, i.e., medical coverage from my partner's employer.
"Concerned Women for America??" They're probably just trying to stir up a shitload of shit,confusion and misinformation.

6. Founded by the infamous Beverly LaHaye ..

wife of the even more infamous Timothy LaHaye, co-author of the 'Left Behind' fundamentalist series.

She confines herself to being on the Board of 'CWA' now, even though she's supposed to be at home submitting to her husband.
