GOP Fesses Up To Anti-Gay Mailingby Doreen Brandt, 365Gay.com
(Washington) - The Republican National Committee has finally admitted that it was responsible for a mass mailing that claimed Democrats would permit gay marriage and ban the Bible.
...The literature shows a Bible with the word "BANNED" across it and a photo of a man, on his knees, placing a ring on the hand of another man with the word "ALLOWED." The mailing tells West Virginians to "vote Republican to protect our families" and defeat the "liberal agenda."
The mailing was aimed at evangelical Protestants, many of whom did not vote in 2000. The RNC hopes it can attract the group to the polls this November.
"At least now the Republican party admits they are running a disgusting campaign of bigotry for George W. Bush," Eric Stern, Director of GLBT Outreach, DNC, told 365Gay.com. "Instead of running on his failed record, Bush has launched a campaign of distortion in an effort to divide the country at the expense of gay and lesbian Americans."
