AFA ActivismAction Alert - April 20, 2001Is the White House Drifting Away from Pro-Family Values?Wildmon added that it would be a tragic miscalculation if the GOP underestimated the depth of feeling on this issue among pro-family groups.
American Family Association is very perplexed over the apparent course of the Bush Administration away from a pro-family position regarding the homosexual rights movement. AFA President Donald Wildmon said Bush campaigned as a conservative Christian who supported pro-family positions. "Now the Bush Administration is opening its arms to homosexual activists who have been working diligently to overthrow the traditional views of Western Civilization regarding human sexuality, marriage and family," he said. Wildmon pointed to several warning signs, beginning with the decision by the Bush campaign to meet last summer with the Log Cabin Republicans, a group of homosexual activists that work for acceptance from the GOP. As president, Bush nominated Massachusetts governor Paul Cellucci to the ambassadorship of Canada, despite conservative protests about Cellucci's aggressive promotion of homosexuality in the public school system of the Bay State. The Bush administration pressured Republicans in the Senate to confirm Cellucci. Two announcements last week have underscored conservative concerns about this issue, Wildmon said. President Bush named Scott Evertz, an open homosexual and member of the Log Cabin Republicans, to be the director of the Office of National AIDS Policy. Evertz was one of the activists who met with Bush last summer, according to The New York Times. Following that announcement, Human Events reported that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld hired homosexual activist Stephen Herbits as an assistant to help screen applicants for the Defense Department. According to the article, Herbits has worked unceasingly to overturn the ban on homosexuals in the military, and was an original member of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, an activist group that has continued to pressure Hollywood into promoting homosexuality on television and in films. Wildmon added that it would be a tragic miscalculation if the GOP underestimated the depth of feeling on this issue among pro-family groups. "AFA would never support the policies of a political party which embraced the homosexual movement. Period," he said.

Along with medical and mental health experts, these individuals express a clear warning that the sanitized version of homosexuality being presented to students is not the whole truth. Uncompromising, yet compassionate, It’s Not Gay is a fair and balanced approach to this challenging subject. ACTION NEEDEDPlease contact President Bush and politely remind him that he campaigned as a conservative Christian who supported pro-family positions. Ask him to please stop granting powerful appointments to openly homosexual activists who have been working diligently to overthrow the traditional views of Western Civilization regarding human sexuality, marriage and family.President George W.
