Obama Blamed For Gay Marriage Defeat

Video: Maine voters shot down gay marriage - KXAN.com

U.S. President Barack Obama has been blamed for the defeat of a gay marriage law in Maine. How you ask? Gay rights activists claim Obama, who recently signed legislation into law to protect homosexuals, didn't do enough. Are they serious.

One would think the currently prevailing liberal theme in political circles in Washington, would have helped, but the people, also known as the voters, have spoken and they do not want gay marriage.

U.S. President Barack Obama

The Judiciary Report is not in favor of gay marriage anywhere. Gay marriage is a bid at turning society upside down to suit someone's personal sexual choices. The Bible clearly notes marriage is between a man and a woman. Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.

Furthermore, why do gays want to marry each other. The rate of domestic violence, dysfunction, suicide and depression is highest in gay relationships.

Gay leaders blame TV ads, Obama for loss in Maine

SAN FRANCISCO — Stunned and angry, national gay rights leaders Wednesday blamed scare-mongering ads — and President Barack Obama's lack of engagement — for a bitter election setback in Maine that could alter the dynamics for both sides in the gay-marriage debate.

Conservatives, in contrast, celebrated Maine voters' rejection of a law that would have allowed gay couples to wed, depicting it as a warning shot that should deter politicians in other states from pushing for same-sex marriage.

"Every time the citizens have voted on marriage, they have always sided with natural marriage," said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, a Florida-based Christian legal group. "Maine dramatically illustrates the will of the people, and politicians should wake up and listen."

Gay activists were frustrated that Obama, who insists he staunchly supports their overall civil rights agenda, didn't speak out forcefully in defense of Maine's marriage law before Tuesday's referendum. The law was repealed in a vote of 53 percent to 47 percent.

"President Obama missed an opportunity to state his position against these discriminatory attacks with the clarity and moral imperative that would have helped in this close fight," said Evan Wolfson of the national advocacy group Freedom to Marry. "The anti-gay forces are throwing millions of dollars into various unsubtle ads aimed at scaring people, so subtle statements from the White House are not enough."

The White House, asked about the criticism, had no immediate comment...

Judge Questionably Acquitted

The acquittal of former Judge Herman Thomas (Judge Had Sex With And Spanked Inmates) was not one without controversy, as it was quite questionable. Three jurors protested the votes rendered on their behalf are not the ones they submitted.

They informed the court they did not vote to acquit Thomas on all the charges he was prosecuted on, which means the trial was tainted. What happened between voting and the verdict being read.

Herman Thomas Case Over

Published: Thu, October 29, 2009 - MOBILE, Alabama - The dispute over the verdict in the Herman Thomas sex abuse trial is over.

Three jurors, who contacted District Attorney John Tyson one day after the verdict was announced, have now backed out of plans for a post-trial challenge.

One of the jurors told News Five he voted not guilty to just two charges, not the seven that were announced in court. Another juror said on the attempted sodomy charge there were eleven guilty votes and just one not guilty vote, and jurors were hopelessly deadlocked on the remaining charges. Special Judge Claud Neilson acquitted Thomas of the attempted sodomy charge along with 13 others after jurors failed to reach a unanimous decision.

Tyson was expected to file a motion Wednesday challenging the verdict, but late Wednesday afternoon he announced the three disgruntled jurors no longer wanted to be involved in the case....

Congress Passes Gay Rights Bill

Congress has passed a gay rights bill that, "Extends hate crime protections to gays." It also includes crimes, "Based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability.

Republicans were concerned and rightfully so, that said bill would attempt to regulate speech regarding gays and violate people's Constitutional right to freedom of religion and freedom of speech, as homosexuals have attempted to use existing legislation, to unlawfully silence those that peacefully disagree with their lifestyle choices.

It was stated, "At the urging of Republicans the bill was changed to strengthen free speech protections to assure that a religious leader or any other person cannot be prosecuted on the basis of his or her speech, beliefs or association."

Congress extends hate crime protections to gays

WASHINGTON — Physical attacks on people based on their sexual orientation will join the list of federal hate crimes in a major expansion of the civil rights-era law Congress approved Thursday and sent to President Barack Obama.

A priority of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., that had been on the congressional agenda for a decade, the measure expands current law to include crimes based on gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability. The measure is named for Matthew Shepard, the gay Wyoming college student murdered 11 years ago.

To assure its passage after years of frustrated efforts, Democratic supporters attached the measure to a must-pass $680 billion defense policy bill the Senate approved 68-29. The House passed the defense bill earlier this month.

Many Republicans, normally staunch supporters of defense bills, voted against the bill because of the hate crimes provision. All the no votes were Republicans except for Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., who supported the hate crimes provision but opposes what he says is the open-ended military commitment in Afghanistan.

"The inclusion of the controversial language of the hate crimes legislation, which is unrelated to our national defense, is deeply troubling," said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala...

The FBI says more than half of reported hate crimes are motivated by racial bias. Next most frequent are crimes based on religious bias, at around 18 percent, and sexual orientation, at 16 percent.

At the urging of Republicans the bill was changed to strengthen free speech protections to assure that a religious leader or any other person cannot be prosecuted on the basis of his or her speech, beliefs or association.

"Nothing in this legislation diminishes an American's freedom of religion, freedom of speech or press or the freedom to assemble," said Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md. "Let me be clear. The Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act targets acts, not speech."

That didn't convince Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., who said the bill was a "dangerous step" toward thought crimes. He asked whether the bill would "serve as a warning to people not to speak out too loudly about their religious views."

Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, said the measure was "part of a radical social agenda that could ultimately silence Christians and use the force of government to marginalize anyone whose faith is at odds with homosexuality."

The defense bill is H.R. 2647.

Judge Had Sex With And Spanked Inmates

Judge Herman Thomas

Another crooked judge is being put out to pasture. Judge Herman Thomas, has been removed from office and is facing prison, for exchanging judicial leniency for sexual favors.

The homosexual judge was sexually exploiting male inmates, engaging in sex acts and spanking them. He stands accused of, "Sodomy, kidnapping, sex abuse, extortion, assault and ethics violations." This alleged misconduct of a sexual nature, by Thomas and others such as Judge Kent, has brought shame on the Judiciary, rendering their rulings corrupt.

Former Court Hero on Trial for Bizarre Sex Charges

Oct. 7, 2009 - Former Alabama Circuit Court Judge Herman Thomas, accused of a plethora of shocking sex- and ethics-related crimes, will be on the other side of the bench on Monday.

The once highly regarded jurist – and a deft Democratic politician repeatedly elected in an Alabama county that was predominantly White and Republican – Thomas is now a disgraced shell of his former self, accused of sodomy, kidnapping, sex abuse, extortion, assault and ethics violations, AOL News reports.

Inmates say that over the past decade Thomas has tried to trade courtroom leniency for sex, that he has forced them to strip down to their underwear and spanked them, and that he forced them to perform sex acts...

Gay Boyband Member Found Dead

Andrew Cowles and Stephen Gately Stephen Gately, a member of the boyband Boyzone, who came out of the closet and "married" a man recently, died at age 33, while vacationing in Europe with his "husband" Andrew Cowles. The two men went out clubbing to what was described as a gay bar that is, "A sleazy rundown late-night bar with grimy walls" and returned to their apartment with a gay man, Georgi Dochev. Andrew Cowles and Georgi Dochev spent the night together in the bedroom, while Gately slept on the sofa in his pajamas. I do not fathom how that could not be hurtful to him. The Judiciary Report does not endorse "gay marriage" or "civil unions" but one has to wonder, as a human being, Gately could not have felt happy about being kicked out of his own bedroom, in an apartment he bought for $1.6 million dollars, so his so-called "husband" could sleep with another man. Andrew Cowles Gay always state they want equality - well, if a heterosexual couple went to a bar, the husband brought home a woman and made his wife sleep of the sofa, while he slept in the bed with this new woman, it would look very bad. It does not look good in a gay relationship either. Is this how Gately was treated all the time by his so-called spouse, as that would give most anyone a heart attack. When Andrew Cowles and Georgi Dochev woke up at around 1PM according to the latter's admission, Gately was dead, cold, pale and lifeless. It is being stated he died of natural causes, labeling it a heart attack of some sort. He had been drinking the night of his death, but it was not mentioned as the cause of death. Gately's "civil union" is clearly not what one would call a merger of fidelity, but an open relationship, between two men that claimed to be married, but promiscuity is clearly involved. That is dangerous. Georgi Dochev His "civil union" with Andrew Cowles caused him to fall out with his family, who had not been speaking to him, only reconciling a year ago. Homosexuality runs rampant in many boybands in the pop music genre. Homosexual managers and executives sometimes proposition young boyband members in their teens and turn them gay. Contrary to what is claimed by some, God did not make anyone gay, as it is a choice. Gay men are often attracted to that segment of the industry, as it involves working with teenage boys, who are marketed as heartthrobs by record labels. Boyzone Star Stephen Gately's Death The Majorcan paper Ultima Hora said detectives believe all three returned to the couple's home in the upmarket resort of Andratx from the Black Cat gay club in the capital, Palma, at 4am. But while Gately slept on the sofa, the other two spent the night in a bedroom together. The paper said: 'What happened has not been established, but the investigators have learned that after a while Andy retired to the bedroom with the Bulgarian, while Stephen stayed in the lounge, sat on the sofa. 'And in the morning, the singer's husband and his "friend" got up late and at around 1pm they left the bedroom. 'It was the Eastern European who discovered Stephen was still sat there wearing his pyjamas and was very white and cold.'... Investigators said the singer was discovered in a crouching position in his pajamas. One said: 'He was squatting down on the sofa almost in a praying position.'... The nightclub the couple had been to on the night of the tragedy is a sleazy rundown late-night bar with grimy walls. One regular said: 'It's the last place you would expect to find a millionaire pop star.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk
