Bush on Homosexuality
| “It’s private as far as I’m concerned. I don’t want to politicize someone’s private life.” President Bush regarding homosexuality, 2000 presidential campaign |
In 2000, during his presidential campaign, Bush agreed to a meeting with the homosexual
group “Log Cabin Republicans.” Bush’s reasoning: “I’ve got log cabin Republicans throughout
my campaign. I do. There’s a lot of gay people who are supporting me. And I welcome their
support.” A little more than a few months into his presidency, Mr. Bush demonstrated his
commitment to not politicizing “someone’s private life” by appointing Scott Evertz Director of
the White House Office of National AIDS Policy (whatever that is), an open homosexual. This
appointment of an open homosexual to a high-level executive position was a first by a
Republican president. Mr. Bush, however, is not just a Republican, he’s a “conservative
Christian,” too.

Coincidentally, Scott Evertz was the legislative director for, uncannily, the Log Cabin
Republicans. How apropos. Not too worry, however. Evertz is no longer Director of the
White House Office of National AIDS Policy (What is that?) because “conservative Christian”
Bush shifted Evertz to assist the Health and Human Services Director, Tommy Thompson,
the former Wisconsin Governor who used to work “closely” with Evertz - even more apropos.
Even more coincidentally, Evertz possesses a B.A. in theology, which might be the reason
why Mr. Bush appointed Evertz to oversee a White House office. Evertz, an open
homosexual, must be a “conservative Christian” like Mr. Bush.
Additionally in an interview in 2003, Bush opined of his “conservative Christian” worldview
regarding homosexual unions:

In addition, Dick Cheney whom Mr. Bush chose to be his Vice-President – the man with a
lesbian for a daughter, the man just one life away from the Presidency – agrees with Mr.
Bush that states should determine this issue of homosexual marriages and unions. Mr.
Cheney also followed suit with Mr. Bush saying, “freedom means freedom for everyone,”
and, “People ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want to.”
Isn’t it nice to know Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney see “eye-to-eye” on this matter?
Based upon Mr. Bush’s rather incensing inconsistencies with the doctrines of Christianity
concerning homosexuality as well as with himself, one cannot be anything but either
utterly confused or completely certain about this president’s supposed Christian
convictions. His behavior is that of a liar.
God condemns homosexuality calling it an abomination, unnatural, depraved and worthy of
death (Romans 1:26-28; Leviticus 18:22; Leviticus 20:13; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; 1 Timothy 1:
8-10). God annihilated whole cities because of homosexuality (Genesis 19:1-25; Jude 7).
There is no opportunity for rebuttal: God does not accept homosexuality. He abhors it.
Yet, “conservative Christian” Bush does not reflect God’s righteousness regarding
homosexuality. Actually, Bush panders to the homosexual minority upon the altar of
deception at the expense of America’s Christians. This is Bush’s plan to “create a
compassionate, welcoming society where all people are treated with dignity and respect.”
"Conservative Christian" Bush should pray for homosexuals, not encourage their agenda.

“The position of this administration is that
whatever legal arrangements people want to
make, they’re allowed to make, so long as it’s
embraced by the state or start at the state
level.”
Of course for Mr. Bush, actions speak louder than
words, and in this case the action came before
the words. In the year before, Bush “embraced”
some “legal arrangements” on behalf of the
federal government by granting death benefits to
homosexual “domestic partners” of firefighters
and police officers. The “state level” was
expected to eventually follow suit, one
supposes. In addition, an article by The
Washington Post says that Bush OK’d this move
in spite of his own Justice Department’s
objections, but Bush was in complete harmony
with homosexual lobbyists.

What’s more, in an interview with Larry King on August 12, 2004, Bush made additional
statements concerning the unions of homosexuals:
“Well, that's up to states, you know. If states choose to do that, in other words, if they
want to provide legal protections for gays, that's great. That's fine […] It is a debate that
must be conducted with the greatest respect for people. And that my judgment, I think our
society is great because people are able to live their lifestyles, you know, as they choose
or as they're oriented.”
As if it wasn’t bad enough already for Mr. Bush during impromptu moments, he added even
more comments about homosexuals wanting the benefits of a marriage:
“Well, you can do that through the legal process […] And there are ways to make sure gays
have got rights. And you can do so in the law.”
Incredibly, “conservative Christian” Bush attempts to quell homosexuals’ concerns
regarding their longings for marital benefits by telling them to use the “legal process,” the
law, “to make sure gays have got rights”! This was from a president who just seconds
earlier said he wanted a Constitutional amendment which would preclude any legal
recourse by homosexuals to assume any supposed “rights” Mr. Bush thought homosexuals
had to marriage.
Wow! In the spirit of anti-Kerry ads, there’s what Bush says, then there’s what Bush says
differently, and then there’s what Bush does.
Here’s something else Bush said:
Here’s something else Mr. Bush did:
In October 2003, Mr. Bush issued a proclamation regarding Marriage Protection Week:
“Marriage is a union between a man and a woman, and my Administration is working to
support the institution of marriage by helping couples build successful marriages and be
good parents […] we must continue our work to create a compassionate, welcoming
society where all people are treated with dignity and respect […] I call on all Americans to
join me in expressing support for the institution of marriage with all its benefits to our
people, our culture, and our society.”

During Marriage Protection
week (October 12-18, 2003), Mr.
Bush schizophrenically sent a
letter to a “church” in California
founded by homosexuals which
performs 6,000+ homosexual
“weddings” every year. In the
letter, Bush said something
different:
“By encouraging the celebration
of faith and sharing of God's
love and boundless mercy,
churches like yours put hope in
people's hearts and a sense of
purpose in their lives [...] This
milestone provides an
opportunity to reflect on your
years of service and to rejoice
in God's faithfulness to your
congregation. In the days
ahead, may your community
continue to grow in faith and
friendship. Laura joins me in
sending our best wishes for a
memorable celebration.”
