(San Francisco, California) California LGBT activists are incensed that radio talk show host Dr. Laura has been invited to participated in a conference on families organized by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Calif. First Lady Maria Shriver.

The 19th Annual Conference on Women and Families is scheduled for Thursday, October 27, 2005 in Long Beach. The conference honors women and families for their leadership and activism.

Laura Schlessinger, who does not hold a medical degree but uses the term doctor, regularly attacks gays on her nationally syndicated radio show.

In 1998 she called gays "a biological error".

"If you're gay or a lesbian, it's a biological error that inhibits you from relating normally to the opposite sex. The fact that you are intelligent, creative and valuable is all true," she said. "The error is in your inability to relate sexually intimately, in a loving way to a member of the opposite sex ­ it is a biological error."


She has equated homosexuality with pedophilia and in 2000 said, "The well-funded and well-connected homosexual activist movement has become the McCarthyism of the 21st century."

Schlessinger was invited to speak at the conference by Schwarzenegger a month after he vetoed legislation that would have permitted same-sex marriage in the state. (story)

1. This is outrageous. On behalf of my gay family members

and neighbors, fuck you, Grope!

We have to hit this with everything we have.

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

3. kick

2. She's also pretty good at attacking women who are not totally

dedicated to their wombs. I find her to be a very offensive person.

[EFerrari]

4. can we please rate this up?

Because to stop this, that's what we need to do. My vote is in.

[efhmc]

6. Mine also.

Typical hypocritical, money at all cost, hate driven fundamentalist.

5. "... on her nationally syndicated radio show." ... WTF?

Is this bitch still on the air? I thought she hid in her prominent neck "wattles" and slunk away after she lost her TV show.

Schwartzen-groper deserves to hear from every pissed off LGBT person about this! Vetoing the marriage bill was bad enough, but to follow it up with inviting "Dr." Laura to a conference on families is a slap in the face (unless, of course, you can justify how having nude pictures of yourself from your younger, more foolish years plastered all over the internet makes you "family friendly").

7. We need 3 more votes.

:kick:

8. He shows his true colors by pandering to his base.

And associating with people who use phony credentials.

[Rowdyboy]

9. This story must be read! I've given it the 4th vote.....

Won't someone please give it the recognition it deserves. This evil woman must be exposed and denounced at every opportunity. She's a female Rev Freddie Phelps.

[sarcasmo]

10. She is a hater that is a fact.

[OnionPatch]

11. Can someone explain

the relation between gays and "McCarthyism"? That woman is off her rocker. I just remembered her talking about how "their" (whoever "they" are, I assume liberals) agenda is to "sexualize the children." Yeah, Laura, I put that right up there with clean air and and a living wage on my list of political objectives.

12. And one wonders what her bloated little agenda is. . .

starting with her phony "Dr." designation, continuing with her phony credentials to spew "advice" and her phony entertainment persona which is nothing more than streetwalking her prostitution-self as a high-class wingnut idiot.
