In the wake of
the Mark Foley scandal, a memo containing the names of
allegedly closeted gay Republican congressional staffers was
composed by anti-Republican gay rights activists and
sent to leading antigay Christian groups, according to
a report in The
Nation. The Reverend Don Wildmon of the
notoriously antigay American Family Association told
The Nation's Max Blumenthal that he had
received that memo, which he referred to simply as "the
list."
Blumenthal claims
that Wildmon told him he's convinced that a secretive
gay "clique" within the Republican-controlled Congress was
responsible for covering up Foley's alleged sexual advances
toward teenage male House pages. Moreover, Wildmon
called on the Republican Party leadership to promptly
purge the "subversive" gay staffers.
"They oughtta
fire every one of 'em," Wildmon told Blumenthal. "I
don't care if they're heterosexual or homosexual or whatever
they are. If you've got that going on, that subverts
the will of the people; that subverts the voters. That
is subversive activity. There should be no
organization among staffers in Washington of that nature,
and if they find out that they're there and they're a
member, they oughtta be dismissed el pronto." (The
