Outrage for One Thing

The only time, really, that Libs are very outraged over the abuses of Muslim countries is when poor oppressed homosexuals are targeted. Where is the outrage and call to arms for the abuse of women, children, and Christians? How about the outrage over the terrorists, who come from these countries, and their desire to whip out all of Western Civilization?

Rather, we have things like this:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- LGBT elected and appointed leaders from across the United States and around the world passed an historic resolution in Seattle this weekend at the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Conference calling upon "all nations and governments to adopt a vocal, clear and consistent policy on international human rights abuses against lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people that includes a call on other countries to abolish sodomy laws."

Attendees, some who traveled from as far away as Sri Lanka and Poland, vowed to continue to bring attention to the horrific record of some countries on this issue.

For instance:

-- There are reports that in Iran more than 4,000 citizens have been executed since 1979 because they are gay or lesbian;

-- In Malaysia, "carnal intercourse against the order of nature" is punishable by up to 20 years' imprisonment and whipping; and

-- Being gay in Saudi Arabia can lead to jail terms or even beheadings.

The conference is a program of the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute, the non-profit sister organization of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund. The leaders also approved a resolution to "encourage all LGBT legislators and all other LGBT public officials to be open and honest about their sexual orientation or gender identity or expression so that their input on future legislation and proposals will be enhanced by a freedom to share both unique and common professional and personal life experiences with their colleagues and the constituents they represent."

"These resolutions reflect the quality of the discussions that occurred and the seriousness of the issues discussed. As the LGBT community continues to gain voices at all levels of policy- making and implementation, it's incumbent that we continue to speak up for those whose voices are silenced in countries that deny them rights simply because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender," says Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund and Leadership Institute President and CEO Chuck Wolfe.

The Gay & Lesbian Leadership Conference was presented by the Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute in collaboration with the International Network of Lesbian and Gay Officials.

But homosexuality is a horrid sin according to Islam and Christianity. Liberals like to whine that people should be free to practice their religions (with the exception of Christianity) and ethnic customs. Doesn't that mean we should allow Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc., to treat homosexuals any way they choose?

What should we do? Invade and force them to change their customs? Liberals don't like it when the United States decides to free people from their tyrants. I suppose we'll just have to talk about this.

And guess who attended! The illegitimate governor of my horrid state! Way to go Chris!

The host committee co-chairs were State Rep. Ed Murray (Washington) and City Council Member Dan Baker (Long Beach, California). Attendees also heard from Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire and U.S. Reps. Barney Frank and Tammy Baldwin.

Our true governor, Dino Rossi, wouldn't waste Washington's time and money going to such an icky, depraved conference. But what can we expect from a thieving little Lib?
