 Fri Aug 25, 2006 4:12 pm Alabama Democrats Oust Gay Candidate |
|
| Quote: | Alabama Democrats Oust Gay Candidate
Alabama's Democratic party "disqualified an openly gay candidate for the Alabama Legislature and the woman she defeated in the primary runoff because both women violated a party rule that party officials said no other candidate has obeyed since 1988," the AP reports.
The problem? An attorney says that if the party disqualified Patricia Todd "for not filing a financial disclosure form with the party chairman it would also have to disqualify the party's nominee for governor, Lt. Gov. Lucy Baxley, and for lieutenant governor, former Gov. Jim Folsom Jr."
The New York Times notes that with no Republican opponent, Ms. Todd "seemed poised to become what political observers said would be the first openly gay officeholder in state history."

Yeah, I bet they will find a "loophole" and not disqualify the others. This was because the canidate is gay, not because she didn't follow a rule no one has since 1988

Whats the matter with all those discriminations out there, Gay=Gay, more not, you don't go discriminate someone who loves his country right? This is all BS cause gays are different. My friend is gay, and he's as normal as what except he likes men. More not.
