Obama Should Dump ‘Gay Quotas’
Is this a foreshadowing of what will happen in other areas of American life, if homosexual activists succeed in implementing their agenda? If the military is opened to homosexuals, will recruiters have to seek out “gay soldiers” to meet recruiting targets? Will passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) lead to affirmative action for homosexuals? If so, what will be the basis for the quota—the long-discredited myth that “ten percent of the population is gay?”
The Easter Egg Roll should be about the children, not politics or policy. Controversy over the Easter Egg Roll arose in 2006 only because some gay parents—who had never been excluded from the event—chose to turn it into a political demonstration by wearing matching garb in order to distinguish themselves from the other attendees. The Obama White House would have been better off keeping this tradition non-political, by sticking to the policy that homosexual activists have always claimed was their goal—equality. Quotas have no place.
