Politics & Policy, as a ‘Gay Republican Leader’ tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The GOP is still struggling with the morality issue, the evolution of same sex marriage. While Democrats have moved quickly away from the idea that gay and lesbian relations are morally wrong, Republicans are moving much slower. In fact, they’re barely more accepting of homosexuality today than they were a decade ago.

The morality issue is a key one for Republicans. While it’s possible that Republicans who think homosexuality is morally wrong could still back same sex marriage, it’s much, much more unlikely that they will ever get to that point. Morality is, after all, the prevailing reason that people give for opposing gay marriage.

For now, Republicans who want to expand the party’s appeal to the gay community and avoid being on the wrong side of a fast-moving social issue will likely simply say that it’s an issue that should be left to the states.

Are GOP members in denial of no homosexuals in their Party? Will the party continue to ignore that same sex marriages exist? 

This is not the case with John M. Traier (pictured above), who began his career as a young republican in 1976 and has been involved in the Republican Party for 38 years and counting! John has spent his political career advancing Republican ideals and working to get Republican candidates elected into office.

John has been exceptionally successful in this position and became Passaic County’s Republican Chairman in 2012. John is openly gay and engaged to his partner of 27 years.

Join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I converse with Mr. Traier about his party’s position on homosexuality, same sex marriage and his goal of expanding the party base to a diverse groups of individuals.

“Homosexuality…Is it the New Norm?” Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

Homosexuality

Same sex marriage and equality became a big discussion during the recent Presidential election and President Barack Obama took his stance on this issue and proudly endorsed it. Since then, several entertainers, athletes, celebrities and television journalist have proudly stumbled out of their closets professing this lifestyle.

Homosexuality has now become a media sensation and is being shoved in our faces as if it is the new norm. Schools are teaching classes on same-sex, television sitcoms are addressing it and department store ads and commercials are displaying it. Sounds like the moral decline of a society as a whole, dismissing God’s plan and purpose of traditional family and relationships.

The U.S Department of Education announced a radical new policy change to its federal student aid form (FAFSA). The new policy, which takes effect in the 2014-2015 school year, will eliminate the terms “mother” and “father” from student aid forms. The new, non-gender specific terms will be “Parent 1″ and “Parent 2″.

The change is being instituted to make children who were raised in non-traditional same-sex homes more comfortable with the application process.

This is just another tool being used by the Gay Agenda movement (with the full blessing of President Obama) to brainwash children into believing that heterosexual sex is not the norm.

Meanwhile, gay sex remains unchallenged as the #1 means of transmitting the HIV virus.

According to statistics compiled by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control (CDC); no other HIV risk factor even comes close to male-to-male sex. But the media won’t tell you that.

Same-sex couples in Maryland were greeted with cheers and noisemakers held over from New Year’s Eve parties, as gay marriage became legal in the first state south of the Mason-Dixon Line on New Year’s Day.

James Scales, 68, was married to William Tasker, 60, on Tuesday shortly after midnight by Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake inside City Hall.

“It’s just so hard to believe it’s happening,” Scales said shortly before marrying his partner of 35 years.

Six other same-sex couples also were being married at City Hall in the state of Maryland.  Ceremonies were taking place in other parts of the state as well.
