CWA Condemns ‘Gay Thought Police’ for Attacks on Sen. Santorum 4/22/2003 The Log Cabin Republicans have shown that they don’t see any room in the ‘big tent’ for people who object to homosexual behavior. Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) President Sandy Rios today condemned the Log Cabin Republicans and other homosexual pressure groups for attacking Sen. Rick Santorum (R- Pennsylvania) for comments he made on the potential effects of a Supreme Court ruling against sodomy laws.
“The Log Cabin Republicans (LCR) have shown once again that they don’t see any room in the ‘big tent’ for people who object to homosexual behavior on religious grounds,” Rios said. “I would remind the Republican leadership that millions of voters who make up the GOP base agree with Santorum – not the ‘gay’ thought police."
The Associated Press reported that Santorum, referencing the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on the legality of Texas’ sodomy law in Lawrence v. Texas, said, “If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.”
Robert Knight, director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute, said, “Sen. Santorum is exactly right. If courts can strike down laws against sodomy, then there is little reason to believe that laws against bigamy, prostitution and incest will stand.”
Rios said, “The Philadelphia branch of the Log Cabin Republicans has joined other ‘gay’ pressure groups in calling on Sen. Santorum to step down from leadership. This ought to show the Republican leadership that they cannot espouse family values while embracing groups that are more loyal to deviant sexual behavior than the Republican cause.”
“The fact that LCR and other gay groups are linking their smear campaign to the black civil rights cause is an added insult to African American Republicans – and all black Americans,” Rios said. “There are no ex-blacks, but there are thousands and thousands of ex-gays.”
