GOP Senate candidates sought support of anti-LGBT group: report

GOP Senate candidates reportedly asked an anti-LGBT group that claimed a link between homosexuality to pedophilia for its support in their campaigns ahead of the November midterm elections.

Kevin Cramer and Corey Stewart, who earlier this week clinched the Republican Senate nominations for North Dakota and Virginia, respectively, completed a "Senate Candidate Survey" for the organization Public Advocate of the United States, CNN reported Thursday.

The group was founded in 1978 by Eugene Delgaudio, who in February said he believes that former President Obama was a "child molester," and has been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group for its anti-gay activism.

The eight-question survey reportedly administered to both Cramer and Stewart asked whether either candidate would "oppose all efforts to make public restrooms and changing-rooms unsafe through so-called 'Transgender Bathrooms' legislation and regulations — which have the effect of encouraging and protecting pedophiles."

CNN reported both candidates responded "yes" to that question and another asking if either agreed that public schools should be "prevented from brainwashing elementary school children with the Homosexual Agenda — such as California's current policy speculating widely about the sexual activity of past presidents and figures?"

According to the publication, the anti-LGBT group has been running advertisements online supporting Cramer’s election bid.

G-d, Gynecology, Guns and Gays.

Gays are an easy target. Heterosexism (heterosexual privilege) is rampant, as is homophobia, but many don't give it a second thought, instead trying to pass it off as just a bunch of "self-loathing homos" (str8splaniners). Strange, with all the anti-gay laws out there, and more coming, maybe the country is really gay.
