WA Senator: Radical Homosexuals Will Take Control


VAL STEVENS X180 (FB) | ADVOCATE.COM

In a recent e-mail to supporters, Washington state senator Val Stevens made her final plea to constituents to vote no on Referendum 71, stating that gays and lesbians would "take control of our culture and push their depraved lifestyle on our children and families."

Stevens said it was a miracle that Referendum 71 -- the ballot measure asking voters to approve or reject the state's expanded domestic-partnerships law -- even made it onto the ballot because of the "harassment and even death threats by the homosexual radicals pushing this into our faces." She warned that the bill passed in the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Christine Gregoire would strip away the protections of the Defense of Marriage Act.

"Do you realize what is going on here?" she wrote. "Consider the following: In 1970 (on the heels of a "free love" '60s radical culture), sodomy laws were repealed in Washington State, with government turning a blind eye to a behavior commonly considered perversion -- and still the case with a majority of Americans."

When asked for comment, Pat Albright, a spokesperson for the Washington Senate Republicans Caucus, said that Stevens "had nothing to add" to her letter. "Basically, that's how she feels."

Stevens also warned supporters that "the homosexuals have amassed over $1 million to sell this reinvention of marriage to an unwitting population," which Steven compared to "the paltry $60,000 we have raised."

Stevens pleaded for money toward efforts like buying ads to counter those paid for by Washington Families Standing Together, the organization heading up the campaign to keep the domestic-partnership bill intact.

She described WAFST's ads as "showing homosexual couples with children trying to appear as normal American families. (The sociological effects of fatherless homes are clear from every study, and from experience as we see the devastation in Scandinavian countries where this is rampant. It also continues the objective of the feminization of the male in our society)."

    Dear God, she's from my Home State! Must be Eastern Washington though, Seattle wouldn't stand for that kind of nonsense. And while we're on the spine-tingling subject of sodomy, nearly all of my straight friends partake when the opportunity avails itself. Us Gay and Bi boys and girls hardly have the patent on that pastime - who are we to hog all the fun?! Live in love everybody - hey from SF Dennis

    Lady, if you think most Americans are opposed to sodomy, you need to get out more.

    Maybe, she needs to have some sodomy done on her, oh wait! I forgot, she is a straight white woman, she has already taken it in the butt. Honey, please!!! You are sounding like an ancient grandma type from the 19th century. Well, it seems like we've shown her that we aren't ignorant, POM's, (Piss on ME's). Although I will never see a bill passed here in florida, I hope that our neighboring states, cities, counties, and streets finally realize that we all get dressed the same way, and nothing is "HELLISH" about our living our lives. Show me the proof that we are trying to bring marriage down before you start pointing fingers. Cause all that's coming out of your mouth is BS.

    Madam, you are one sick puppy! Maybe you should have gotten some of that free love back in the 60's. You might not be so crazy now, concerned about other people's love. I pity you because you are the one who is depraved. your perversion is hatred.. you must be miserable to think like that. You're even making up your own facts to fit your emotional state. It's a sure sign that your living out of your own made-up world instead of reality. Oh, want proof? Look up those "studies" you talked about. Its obvious you made it up because they really show the exact opposite of what you think. Also research life in the horrible Scandinavian countries and see if you can find anything resembling that overflow of fantasy facts from your needy mind. I'm sorry if this seems cruel, but you are so cruel to others that you need a wake-up call, though I'm sure it won't get thru your hard heart. We have families and children too. p.s. All those voters can't be unwitting (maybe the problem is in your mind).

    Simply put, this woman is an evil, hate-mongering, human being promoting hatred and violence toward LGBT people. It amazes me that we are of the same species. Beam me up Scotty, I have again encountered neanderthal prehistoric mentality.

    I wonder what she's done to stop wife abuse by heterosexual husbands. I wonder what she has really done to make heterosexual marriage stable by punishing banks who have done predatory lending that make families homeless. I wonder what she’s done to make heterosexual marriage more stable by going after insurance companies that deny coverage to those who need it the most. NO! She thinks by judging someone she can distract people who think like her and get them to think she really doing something. When in fact she is a do-nothing republican. Don’t tell me she’s not into homosexual sex, she’s out to screw America over by her own bigotry.

    I'm all for passing a bill that would automatically result in the removal from office of any public official who so vehemently denies equal protection and treatment under the law. With the official, "on the record" statements that this particular individual has made, she should be indicted under the hate crimes laws. Homosexuals are "taking over"? How's THAT for a takeover...and I'm straight!
