Family Research Council: Export Gays from the US

[ck4829]

Medill News Service, a project run by Northwestern University graduate journalism students, recently ran a story about the Uniting American Families Act, legislation that “would allow same-sex partners to be united legally through the U.S. immigration process. The bill would correct the bias in the by adding the term ‘permanent partner’ to the law’s definition of family members; therefore, same-sex partners of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents would be eligible for green cards and immigrant visas available to spouses and other family members.”

The piece profiles a couple, Tim Miller and Alistair McCartney, who have been together for fourteen years who may be forced to separate or leave the country altogether when McCartney, an Australian citizen, sees his work Visa expire next year.

Reporter Sirena Rubinoff then interviewed Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council who explained his organization’s opposition to the legislation:

We oppose this bill because it is, although it may be at the margins, part of an assault on the definition of family ... I would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States because we believe homosexuality is destructive to society.

1. John McCain will seek the approval of THESE PEOPLE for Supreme Court appointments

unless we stop him.

[Hawaii Hiker]

8. This is exactly why Democrats need to unite when the nominee is decided

so we can defeat that SOB McCain, so we won't have to worry about the next SCOTUS appointment(s) being another far right kook(s)...

I'm for Obama, but if HRC is the nominee, I will absolutely vote for her...

It's so frustrating to see some posters say they'll stay home if their candiate is not the nominee, but the SCOTUS is at stake, & that's reason enough to vote Democrat in Nov...

13. It amazes me that there are people who can look out at the world,

and come to the conclusion that homosexuality is the biggest "problem" out there.

11. For sure.

15. they're all self-loathing closet cases. they also all seem

to dress like they're auditioning for the Matrix. Which is one right now by the way. Good morning, Mr.Anderson.

2. Could we export the Family Research Council to Saudi Arabia instead?

Or maybe Iran?

[Withywindle]

5. I'm sure they'd be happier there.

At least the men would.


If they want to live only among people with compatible "values," well, it seems an obvious choice. Even better than that crackpot takeover-of-South-Carolina scheme.

10. Saudi Arabia would be nice. Then they could claim that they are

persecuted, and it would be the truth.

[ruggerson]

3. Do we get to choose our destination?

I'd like to reserve a villa in Tuscany.

[Dr.Phool]

7. Now you're making me want to be gay!

Get me outa Florida!

[Bluebear]

16. My luck, McClurkin will pray away my gay just before the villa keys are mine.

[Donnachaidh]

4. I'd much prefer putting these self-righteous sanctimonious assholes

in a leaky frigging raft and drop that raft in the middle of the Atlantic. :grr:

It's sickening in this day and age to think that we have such ignorant fuckwits in this country. THEY are the destructive elements here -- not gay people!

Sometimes I'm so outraged and embarrassed by my fellow countrymen and women. What a fine crop of stupid we've developed. :puke:

[scarletwoman]

6. Okay. The question must be asked: If we export gays, will it improve our trade deficit? (nt)

[kevinbgoode]

9. Yes....and yet our major media networks never hesitate to interview

members of the "Family" Research Council on every kind of issue from teen pregnancy to marriage to gay rights, thus attempting to legitimize and mainstream the organization.

These people are anti-American dominionists who use the Republican Party and the corporate news media to promote dominionist philosophy.

[xchrom]

12. spot. on. nt

[DainBramaged]

14. So does this mean these jerk offs want to outsource "homosexuals"????

What a fucking bunch of clowns. I wonder if they are worried that Larry Craig may assault their men's rooms???
