What kind of person is chosen to serve on the Commission for Gay and Lesbian Youth?

Bill Conley, recently arrested for solicitation of college boys, is head GLBT lobbyist at the State House. Conley has been a proud member of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. And now, we assume, he will hold his head up high as a member of the new INDEPENDENT Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth.

They're so full of "PRIDE" . . . these people know no SHAME.

Prominent "Gay" Lobbyist Arrested for Solicitation of College Boys

You will know them by their deeds. William Conley, openly homosexual lobbyist for the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, was arrested on July 8 for soliciting oral sex from college students, reports the Boston Herald today ("Sex-solicit sting nets lobbyist for gay group"). Gee, why didn't we see this story in Bay Windows?

We've published a photo showing Conley standing on the State House steps with the "Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" banner on "Youth Pride" day. The adults running the GLBT political groups are certainly working hard to find fresh meat.

Conley is often seen prancing around the State House as if he owned the place. Why, we just ran into him in a Rep's office a few weeks back (after his arrest!) pushing for the new, independent, unconstitutional "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth." Always dressed immaculately in a business suit, he conveys respectability to the max. His testimonies pushing homosexual indoctrination in the schools are quietly confident. At the hearing on the marriage amendment in May, he stood at the front of the hearing room near the Legislators' panel, acting as MC to the hearing, ushering his people to the table at just the right moment, using his height and clean-cut image to intimidate. Apparently, the stress of this role-playing builds up and he has a tremendous need to access "oral relief" (see story below).

This is the person whose salary House Speaker DiMasi helped raise at the MGLPC fundraiser a few nights ago!

From the Herald article:

A Springfield man busted in an alleged attempt to solicit sex from University of Massachusetts students in return for cash is a paid lobbyist for a pro-gay marriage advocacy group. William G. Conley, a lobbyist for the Massachusetts Gay & Lesbian Political Caucus, was arrested by UMass police after allegedly posting a message on the Internet bulletin board Craigslist.com offering work to a college student.

Conley, 59, allegedly replied in an e-mail to an undercover cop posing as a student that he was willing to pay $50-$150 for “oral relief,” according to a report in The Republican of Springfield. Police arranged a meeting and arrested Conley on July 8. ...

Robert Paine Blog: Romney Created "Same-Sex Marriage"

Check out Robert Paine, Esq. Written by an attorney, there's lots to digest on this blog in his series of articles entitled, "The Governor’s New Clothes; How Mitt Romney Brought Same-Sex Marriage To America."

John Haskins first alerted us to Paine's important argument "that it is not even clear that the Legislature could constitutionally create 'homosexual marriage.' The term 'marriage' is written into the state constitution. This presents an insurmountable obstacle for all three branches of government. There is abundant Massachusetts and federal case law demonstrating that no term used in the constitution can be redefined except by a constitutional amendment."

Robert Paine was a Founding Father, signer of the Declaration of Independence, first attorney general of Massachusetts, speaker of the Massachusetts House, member of the Continental Congress and a justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.

We also understand from Paine that the new "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" violates the Constitution, by essentially creating an independent fourth branch of the Massachusetts government.

The Ghosts of History

From John Haskins:
The ghosts of history (and the present) are whispering in our ears

For those who believe Mitt Romney's claim that he is "defending" marriage and the natural human family, and that he was forced to strike down his own oath of office, nullify a state constitution and order illegal and void homosexual "marriage":

"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Benjamin Disraeli

For Governor Mitt Romney:

"You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips." - Oliver Goldsmith

For those who believe that:
~ there is such a thing as a "homosexual (or bisexual or transgendered) child"
~ that Americans who hold to traditional moral values are beating them up and forcing them to commit suicide by the tens of thousands
~ that to rescue these "homosexual children" we must indoctrinate every American child to believe that anal sex and lesbianism are normal, innocent, and beautiful behaviors and that the amply proven harm that causes and results from them is imaginary
~ that nature and God and thousands of years of human history and common sense and 150 years of psychological and sociological research into how boys and girls need both fathers and mothers are irrellevant; and that any rebuttal to the surreal propaganda of "gay families" is just seathing, murderous, homophobic "hate":

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
- H. L. Mencken

For those who believe that the Next Great Hope of the Republican Party (much less the Democrat Party) will do anything to restore our constitutions, our values, our rights as parents to parent our own children, to reverse the gradual criminalization of Judeo-Christian values, or even read with an honest mind the constitution he or she swears to defend:

"We are perpetually being told that what is wanted is a strong man whonwill do things. What is really wanted is a strong man who will undo things; and that will be the real test of strength." - G.K. Chesterton

For those who think that anti-faith, anti-truth, anti-reality, anti-child, anti-family, anti-heterosexuality, anti-humanity "tolerance" and "diversity" are leading to anything but destruction, social anarchy and political tyranny -- and for those who have noticed that these fruits of atheistic relativism are being propagandized as having the stamp of approval of Jesus Christ and "true religion":

"Atheism in itself has no cohesive force. Whatever social cohesion it has provided so far has come more from its destructive hostility to the Christian civilization it has totally failed to improve on." - Joseph Sobran

Legal Meaning of "Marriage" Already Excluded "Gay" Couples

Comment by John Haskins
Associate Director, Parents' Rights Coalition

Notice in the article on the recent Washington state ruling, "Supreme Court upholds state gay marriage ban," it appears that once again the attorneys on our side miss a fundamental argument: The concept of "marriage," in legal and colloquial use, already has a definition that excludes homosexuality.

Even the Goodridge decision explicitly admitted that under Massachusetts statute, "marriage" is the union of two persons of the opposite sex. There can be no fundamental right to take advantage of a right to do "A" by doing something that is not "A" and merely calling it "A". An entirely new and separate right would have to be "found" in a constitution -- or invented by a legislature. You cannot hijack an existing legal term and pretend that it means what even the outlaw judges of the Goodridge court admitted it could not legally mean.

"Marriage" is by definition an opposite-sex contract. Homosexuals absolutely do have a legal right to marry -- but like anyone else, they must marry members of the opposite sex, because that is what "marriage" is legally. That they do not want marriage -- but want something completely different to be called "marriage" -- does not mean that they can strike down constitutions and democratic self-government by stripping language, and thus law, of its obvious meaning.

So much of the Left's constitutional and political revolution is based on our accepting their clever "word lies." The right to "privacy," which sounds extremely reasonable, actually means "the right to kill another human being." We are not even on the playing field if we do not realize that redefining words -- while pretending to be faithful to those words -- is actually an act of legal, intellectual, and spiritual war. Why do we accept that they own words? If they own words, they own reality and law and theology and morality and everything else.

If words really don't matter, why do we serve a God who calls Himself "the Living Word"? If our enemy owns words, they own God. If we refuse to defend words and concepts and meaning itself, and we prefer to piddle around in the shallow water of legal technicalities, are we really the people of the Living Word?

The failure to assert the specific legal meaning of "marriage" at every opportunity is an example of incompetence and a profound failure to comprehend the level at which the Culture War is being fought, both inside and outside the courtroom. If "marriage" is a term without actual legal and linguistic meaning, then of course it can be argued that homosexuals have a right to redefine it for the rest of society.

House Speaker DiMasi Agrees with Coakley-Rivera on "Hate"

What game is the Boston Herald editorial staff playing? They know full well that House Speaker DiMasi is not at all upset with Rep. Coakley-Rivera's charges of "hate" leveled at Rep. Philip Travis (and anyone who believes homosexual "marriage" is absurd and unacceptable). The Herald is calling for Coakley-Rivera to apologize for her remarks. Why would she, when she knows DiMasi has totally sold out to the extremist homosexual agenda? Why did he include her in his leadership to begin with, if he didn't agree that her viewpoint was valid, or at least a "voice" he wanted represented on his team?

Doesn't the Herald know that DiMasi will be the guest of honor at the upcoming homosexual lobby fundraiser on July 27? And what does that lobby advocate: "No discrimination in the Constitution" -- meaning, any attempt to ban "gay marriage" is hateful discrimination. That's all that Coakley-Rivera was charging. (Look at their buddy group, KnowThyNeighbor.org, which has published the names of all the signers of the marriage referendum in order to intimidate them. They hold banners saying anyone who signed is a "bigot.")

DiMasi was honored by another homosexual activist group last winter. (See photo of DiMasi receiving his award from the group "My Age".) He's been very public about his full support of the "gay" agenda. Just read Bay Windows.

Maybe the Herald means to say that the whole "gay marriage" movement should apologize to everyone else in Massachusetts?

New Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth: Precursor to Hate Crimes Tribunal?

This past Wednesday, radical openly lesbian state legislators called names and -- in hysterical outbursts -- stifled debate on Governor Romney's veto of the new extra-constitutional independent Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. (And don't forget the other youth to be "protected" by this Commission: Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Questioning, Polyamorous, etc.).

Sorry as this debate was, and silly as the reason given by the Governor for vetoing it ("it is duplicative"), at least it was vetoed. But whichever candidate is elected Governor in 2006, there will not even be vetoes of similar nonsense! MassResistance warns: a Hate Crimes Commission (or "tribunal" as in Canada) will be next ... possibly thrown in as a stealth "amendment" to a budget item as was done here.

From the State House News Service, here's the "debate" on this devious ploy from "gay" State Senator Jarrett Barrios, a.k.a. "Senator Fluff".

[July 19, 2006] INDEPENDENT COMMISSION ON GAY AND LESBIAN YOUTH:
Rep. Donato said question comes on the governor’s veto in H 5000, section 4. Romney vetoed the section, he said, because it was “duplicative.” The section outlines membership on a “permanent” 27-member unpaid commission on gay and lesbian youth. It establishes the commission as “an independent agency of the commonwealth and shall not be subject to the control of any other department or agency.” Rep Donato said if the chair hears no objection, we will consider no action taken on this matter.

Rep. Travis objected. Rep. Donato, in the chair, made a motion to call Rep. Travis to the rostrum where they had a private conversation, along with Reps. Jones and Petrolati.

The House then suspended rules and question came on the veto override. Rep. Donato began calling the vote and Rep. Travis was asking to be recognized. Rep. Donato said for what purpose does the gentleman rise? Rep. Travis said to speak on the issue.

Rep. Travis said we are pressing our green buttons and reading these after the fact. I wish to let you know what this is. I would like to ask someone carrying this to come forward and say why we have to have a duplicate commission. This is a brand new section that is called gay youth commission. It is redundant and I would like to know the need for this and why it does not come under any state department whatsoever. It is separate and equal to something we have on the books. None of us voted against the original commission. Why do we need it? I don’t think we do.

Rep. Coakley-Rivera [openly lesbian] said for a long time I sat here, for eight years, and I listened to the hate in this chamber and from the man who just walked away and that is why we need a commission - so children do not commit suicide and people like the gentleman who walked away don’t continue to feed hate, so children don’t take drugs - children feel something is so wrong with them that they take their own life. This is why we need two commissions.

Rep. Travis asked to be recognized. Rep. Donato banged the gavel and called a brief recess.The chamber had fallen silent and a handful of members applauded Rep. Rivera. [Wait -- we thought it was Coakley-Rivera... Names change, sexual identities change... She used to be just Rivera.] Rep. Coakley-Rivera was recognized again and said I will move on.

Rep. Travis said point of personal privilege - the rules of the House say a colleague does not attack a colleague no matter how vehemently they feel. The lady at the microphone attacked me. We have just done a line item on the question of suicide and overrode that item. That point has been settled. I wish she would address the question I asked.

Rep. Donato, in the chair, said the chair will pay close attention to the debate.

Rep. Coakley-Rivera said because there is so much hate and bigotry about gays and about me and my sexuality. I was one of the few who made it out and can stand here and talk. I am able to love a woman in a loving and caring way and not everyone can do that. God made me and my straight parents made me and love me for who I am. That is why we create commissions to help people understand differences of the world and help children understand the differences of the world so they can better deal with hate and bigotry in the world. We all know what this is about. It’s about people who don’t like gays and lesbians and don’t like their lifestyles and they use the church to excuse their hate and bigotry. We need as many commissions to deal with children committing suicide and taking drugs and dealing with gay and lesbian issues. Thank you Mr. Speaker.

Rep. Travis said if my lips said to you what that lady just said I said, I would apologize to all of you. I never spoke any word she said. She answered why we need a second commission. If the commission in place is doing its proper job and exposing children to different lifestyles, I accept that. It is the law. [While we disagree with Rep. Travis on these points, at least he spoke up!] We are creating a second commission on the same activity. She said we need all the time and money to influence our children. My point of view is different and exposure at the earliest age is wrong and parents tell me that on a regular basis. My job is to not let this pass. It is not in the public interest. I stand on that premise. I do not attack any gay or straight person for any reason. I have never done that and am not going to start this evening. You are picking on me as a straight person and I resent that. I have great respect for the lady.

There was a smattering of applause for Rep. Travis.

BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 98-52, VETO SUSTAINED

Rep. Malia [openly lesbian] moved reconsideration, Rep. Donato said. As Rep. Travis called to be recognized, Rep. Donato quickly called the vote in the affirmative on a voice vote. Rep. Peterson said I doubt the vote. Rep. Donato said can I have a brief recess. Many lawmakers headed to the front of the chamber. RECESSES: After several minutes, Rep. Donato at 5:46 pm said Rep. Petrolati moved to recess until 6 pm. Motion adopted. [Now what was happening during the recess? Did the "gay" lobby move in and threaten to flood hundreds of thousands into challengers' campaigns, unless certain vulnerable reps changed their votes???] ...

Rep. Travis said ... The vote was 52 on this issue. I remember a discussion in caucus about removing outside sections from this budget. This is a subject that is controversial. It has had no public hearing. It is called a substitute for the governor’s commission. I have heard no complaints in my district or from the other side that that commission did not function well within the school system.... This issue can be taken up at another time and be spoken about in a hearing room where people can give testimony on both sides. They would not be under any legislative or executive branch oversight. Under that premise of accountability, I hope the veto is overridden.

With Rep. Tobin asking to be recognized, Rep. Donato, in the chair, opened the roll call. Rep. Atsalis voted no on the last roll call, with unanimous consent.
BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 104-44, VETO OVERRIDDEN

Senator Fluff gets his way; lots of little "GLBTs" will be created by this act of the Massachusetts Legislature -- though not by the Creator.
