I live in Houston and our runoff election for mayor and some city council seats is tomorrow. The candidates are Gene Locke and Annise Parker, who is an openly gay woman. I just received a large glossy postcard paid for by "Dave Wilson, 1512 W 34th St, Houston, TX 77018." Please excuse any errors as this is my first diary, and I am tech challenged. But I am so outraged, I have summoned the courage to share this gem with ya'll.
The address side of the mailer has the following:
VOTE FOR
TRADITIONAL FAMILY
And
MARRIAGE
(one man one woman)
MAYOR
(check mark by name) GENE LOCKE
Annise Parker*
DISTRICT A
(check mark by name) BRENDA STARDIG
Lane Lewis*
AT-LARGE TWO
(check mark by name) ANDREW C BURKS Jr
Sue Lovell*
Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote, good governments have always
Regulated sexual behavior. To believe that the act of homosexual sodomy
Is protected as a fundamental right is a stretch of the U.S. Constitution.
There is no activist movement that exists worldwide today to legalize
theft, adultery or lying.
*Homosexual lifestyle
The reverse side of the mailer depicts a man’s hand and a woman’s hand with wedding rings along with a wedding bouquet and the headline reads as follows:
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing." – Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
It continues:
In our hope as being seen as tolerant and loving, we have chosen to accept the homosexual lifestyle rather than confront it. We have backed away from the spiritual battle for the hearts and souls of men. We have failed to speak the truth both in love and with love. We must differentiate between condemning the sin of homosexual behavior (1 Corinthians 6:9-10) and condemning the individual. Only God judges the heart.
Nothing is as important to the future of Houston and our country as the protection of the Traditional Family and marriage (one man one woman) or allow the radical homosexual activists (with their out of state money) elect a lesbian for Mayor.
I have received dozens of pieces of hate mail and threats on my life for taking a stand. I am asking you to take a stand and vote for the Traditional Family.
VOTE FOR GENE LOCKE FOR MAYOR.
Maybe it hasn’t occurred to Dave the Bigot that if he didn’t send out hate mail, he might not be getting any in return. Ya think?
