Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, September 20, 2007

San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders abruptly reversed his public opposition to marriage for same-sex partners and opposed California's gay marriage ban after revealing his adult daughter is a lesbian. The mayor, a Republican former police chief, fought back tears as he said he wanted his adult daughter, Lisa, and other gay people he knows to have their relationships protected equally under state laws. "In the end, I could not look any of them in the face and tell them that their relationships -- their very lives -- were any less meaningful than the marriage that I share with my wife Rana," he said.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Not really.

He said she had told her parents four years ago that she is a lesbian and is currently in a committed relationship, but her orientation wasn't public until her father's speech.

He opposed gay marriage for all those long four years. That's not like "I oppose a traffic light at my corner...oh well...I changed my mind...it's a busy place and there's more kids crossing than I thought."

He well knew what he was doing and finally saw that the gay community in San Diego wouldn't have any more of it. I am sure he will be out courting their vote now that he knows it will lock him into another term.

Regards,
etc.

"Switches Teams"?

Okay, tha's funny right there.

And yea the scales fell from his eyes and he could SEE!

Spud is encouraged by Jerry Sanders epiphany here.

From threatening to veto pro gay marriage legislation to backing a statewide initiative to reverse the anti-constitutional ban Jerry Sanders has finally done the right thing.

Took him four years (since his daughter came out to him and his wife) to achieve this personal evolution but at last JS finds himself on the right side of history, humanity and morality.

Of course, this puts him entirely on the "wrong side" of the GOPher party.

Yeah.... "Good luck with that" sez Spud.

Be Well.

Well considering that Alan Keyes, the GOP's new Family Values savior has effectively disowned his lesbian daughter, Mayor Sanders is in the top echelon of GOP tollerance.

What a whore. He is just as bad as some high priced call girl denying the fugly sex with Her until they shell out a couple Hundred grand and then decides She loves Fugly people after all. What a shmuck.

Uh, you don't have to. There's more life than "marriage", thankfully.

Along the lines of gay marriage, Iowa recently allowed gay couples to marry.

Well, at least for 4 hours before the gay marriage ban was reinstated.

During that 4 hours several gay couples picked up applications, but only 1 couple picked up their application, had a ceremony and got back to the court house in time.

Here's the happy couple, Sean Fritz and Tim McQuillan.

Or, in your case, there are always more marriages in life.

Uh, you don't have to. There's more life than "marriage", thankfully.

Um, dude. The Blow Up French Maid doll doesn't really count as...life.

Or life like.

And if you don't properly maintain and clean them with anti-microbial wash, you'll get a nasty rash that you do not want to explain to your General Practicioner.

Hmmm!!!!

I will be nice here. :{)

Ummmm don't be bagging on My "Girlfriends" now Trees those Juicy Lucy dolls work wonders for "Tension" relief. Oh and they are easily cleanable. Just take Your "Girlfriend" to the neighborhood self service car wash and hose Her down every monday and She is as good as new. Oh and just to save money You can get some latex paint in the shade of Her "Skin" to use to patch holes in Her when SHe becomes a tad bit too worn. Better than swimming pool p[atching or a tire patch and it cost less too.

You've confused me with Legio.

Or maybe it was Larry. Godalmighty.

seems like lots of Republicans have lesbian daughters...what's that about??

ClintonIsKing they get surrounded by Pussified Conservatives and decide another Women is more of a Man that these Boys are so they decide to go Lesbian and live happily ever after.

Larry

People can't help how they are raised and the prejudices which are taught to them but when they are adults they can change. Mayor Sanders changed and I think it took a lot of guts. I bet his daughter really feels loved. Like I always say, gay marriage will eventually get here, it will take a while but the opposition is crumbling one vote at a time.

"ClintonIsKing they get surrounded by Pussified Conservatives and decide another Women is more of a Man that these Boys..."

can't demonize the Flying Nun (Pickle Pusses).

I seen that Hans. That sure made My Day. She just shrugged it off like nobody's business. Sally Field rocks.

Yeah, I've noticed that too; though, I think they're just more apparent, since people generally take note to people who want to deny civil rights to their own children.

""seems like lots of Republicans have lesbian daughters...what's that about??""

I think many of they are bi but after dealing with their fathers they swear off men forever.
The question arises...why do REpublicans fathers produce so many lesbian daughters.

Or could it be that Republican mothers are such poor role models that their daughters reject their life syles completely???

Or could it be both??

If marriage is so unimportant why deny it to a class of individuals based on sexual orientation?

Why propose Constitutional amendments to discriminate in it's name?

........its well known that Republicans carry the gay gene........just look at how many of their fathers wind up coming out, or being accidentally outed..........

I didn't do any of those things.

Larry:

I think it is us who support Gay Marriage that ought to be saying

BWAWAWAWAW

to you.

So......

BBBWAWAWAWAWAWAWA!!!

Go suck on Jesus's tittie a little longer you pud-whacker.

Who says republicans produce "so many lesbian daughters?"

Gay people come from every walk of life and every type of family.

I would have to see some study to believe conservatives have more gay kids than liberals.

I don't buy it.

If the implication is republicans have more lesbians or gay kids than liberals, I'd have to see some proof.

for god's sake, lighten up E-Jungle

If they wouldn't draw so much attention to themselves by soap-boxing, then maybe their poor daughters could stay in the closet.

But as long as they're out of the closet, we can enjoy them in the next Girls Gone Wild video!
