MUSGRAVE’S BACKYARD

The anti-gay crusader, Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave, needs to do a little more work on her own turf. Her own county Republican party in Colorado just voted against the Musgrave Amendment to the U.S. constitution, backed by president Bush, that would strip gay couples of any enforceable legal protections for their relationships. She cannot even win the Republicans in her own county. Maybe they realize that the amendment, by writing discrimination into the Constitution and ripping up states’ rights, is, in fact, the opposite of what real conservatives would support. May the rebellion against the theocrats continue.
