Homosexual lobby submits budget amendments to increase 2009 funding for gay programs in schools to $1.3 million!

Current budget amount is $500,000. It all needs to be stopped!

April 23, 2008

Half a million dollars for homosexual programs in the schools aimed at children isn't nearly enough, says the homosexual lobby. They've filed a budget amendment to increase the current hideous $500,000 amount in the 2009 House budget to $1.3 million.

Racing to beat the deadline last week, Rep. Carl Sciortino (D-Somerville) along with the usual gang of anti-family extremists in the House, didn't waste any time. (Rep. Sciortino is serious: he once disrupted a Catholic Mass with his homosexual lover to protest the Church's stand on traditional marriage.) They filed two amendments to raise the total by $800,000 - to $1.3 million!

Here are the two budget amendments that were filed:

Budget Amendment #1411 - Addition of $500,000 for the "Mass Commission on GLBT Youth":

[Amend] 4590-0250 by striking out the figures "$350,000" and inserting in place thereof the figures "$1,100,000"; and in said item by striking out the figures "$17,232,518" and inserting in place thereof the figures "$17,982,518".

Budget Amendment #1412 - Addition of $300,000 for homosexual programs, overseen by Mass Commission on GLBT Youth:

[Amend] 7010-0005, by striking out the figures "$200,000" and inserting in place thereof the figures "$500,000"; and in said item by striking out the figures "$16,955,302" and inserting in place thereof the figures "$17,255,302".

We don't think that this has a big chance of passing - but it could. These people never give up.

Massachusetts has over a $1 billion budget shortfall. Taxes are already being raised at record levels to try to make up for this. But the bizarre leaders of the Legislature are still paying homage to this hideous special interest.

In any case, there's still a long, long road ahead in this budget fight - both in the House and Senate. This is just the first skirmish.

Our Massachusetts legislators really don't seem to get it. We've got to change that.
