Bruce Kraus Speaks Out About EQUAL Rights
by 15211Advocate ~ April 27th, 2008. Filed under: Latest News.Bruce Kraus is the Councilman for a small piece of Mt. Washington. In today’s Post Gazette, Mr. Kraus wrote an editorial confronting some of the hate speech that has been directed toward him.
But, if you were to listen to the hate speech of Oklahoma state Rep. Sally Kern to learn about who I am, you would learn that, in her own words, speaking directly about me, in a speech to her peers, “Gays are infiltrating City Council … in Pittsburgh, Pa. … [and that I] … am a cancer that spreads [and] will destroy this nation … [and] … the biggest threat this nation faces, even more than terrorists and Islam.”
We applaud Mr. Kraus for keeping this issue “out” in the open. PA cannot deny basic equal rights to it’s tax paying citizens and should be embarrassed that it’s even an issue being voted on. In Mr. Kraus’ words…
With all the challenges that we, as a commonwealth, are facing — deteriorating infrastructure; staggering health-care costs; municipalities crippled by the inability or unwillingness of legislators to ensure that nonprofits contribute toward ever escalating municipal service costs; rampant gun violence; and corruption in government — certain Pennsylvania state legislators would like us to believe that defining marriage and outlawing civil union is our most pressing legislative priority.
In reality this is their mark of shame.
