Bush Gay Bashing Reaches to Charles & Camilla

Welcome to the Christian Republic of America. :rolleyes:

(London) The Bush Administration's attacks on same-sex marriage have now been expanded to include unmarried heterosexuals and divorced people - resulting on a ban of Camilla Parker Bowles from the White House.

The Administration is pushing its traditional marriage initiative aimed at keeping straight families from breaking up and banning gay marriage.

London's Sunday Sun reports that the White House has scuttled plans by Prince Charles to take Camilla on a Royal tour of the US later this year after they marry in a civil ceremony.

The Sun reports that the Royal household was told that Camilla, who will have the title Her Royal Highness Princess Consort after Charles becomes king, is not welcome at the White House because she is a divorcee.

The reports do no mention that Charles is also a divorcee.

The President, according to sun told palace aides it was "inappropriate" for him to be play host to the newly-weds.

The paper notes that the decision was made even though the late President Ronald Reagan was divorced. The Sun quotes a government insider as saying "It was relayed to us from Washington that Mrs Parker Bowles would not be welcome at the White House.

"The Americans are aware that the visit will be subject to a lot of media attention and did not want the President drawn into what they view to be a public relations exercise.

The Administration's new push could result in non traditional straight families supporting gays in fighting a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.

"Every family should be respected," Human Rights Campaign spokesperson Steven Fisher told 365Gay.com. "There is diversity in the types of families in America and around the world and every family should be respected."

The Sun quoting a British government source said the Prince's US tour will likely be called off in light of the President's snub. It would have been his first State visit to America since Princess Diana's death seven years ago.

"The potential fall-out from this decision could be massive," the Sun quotes the source as saying.

The trip, which has been planned for three years, was being portrayed as a "trade mission" and Charles and Camilla were expected to dine with Mr Bush and his wife Laura at the White House.

The "Sun?"

Divorce has what do to with gay bashing?

Grasping, I think.

DA- it's this whole "Traditional Marriage Values" and "Christian Values" bullshit being paraded around by the White House.
Really- if Bush wants to spend so much time and energy on this he should resign and become a preacher instead of trying to force his beliefs on a nation.

And is The Mirror more to your taste than the Sun? http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/n...name_page.html

What average straight family cares whether or not the President plays host to British royalty? It would be a waste of our President's time if nothing else.

I think this has more to do with it than anything else. I HIGHLY doubt that the Mirror or Sun are accurate on this.

I definitly find this questionable.

Hell, hasn't Cheney been divorced?

Heh . . . if this is true, well, at least he's being consistent and protection of marriage really does mean "protection of marriage," not "discrimination against gays."

I can't imagine that this is a good move to make politically, though. I would be very surprised if it actually happens (or, if it happens, if this is the reason for it).

I just went to the BBC.com & several other English newspapers (as opposed to tabloids), and can't find a thing about this "news".

I'm calling Agenda.

come now, what possible agenda could a site titled "gay365" hold with regard to this subject matter?

I don't think so, but Reagan was.

;) :D

Let's just say, for a moment, that this is true.

THe White House would have to tell Charles he wasn't welcome also, because not only is he a divorcee, he is also an adulturer. How that's for family values?

The President's father is also an adulturer.

This is the reason why I would sincerely doubt that the article is true.

Well, ONE of the reasons.

I could see very few Senators and Congressmen welcomed if it's true.:D

Where did you get this information? I remember that there was allegations in 1992 which Pres. Bush the first vehemently denied.

Anything in The Times?

Look, I don't think it's likely that President Bush is going to refuse to see a future head of state -- no matter if he really has little or no real power -- of our staunchest ally. That just doesn't make sense.

In addition, I think it's a stretch to pull "gay bashing" out of the alleged reason -- that being divorce -- for this situation.

If that were among the "reasons" for this alleged snub, I don't think that our rather outspoken President would hide it.

I got a lot of interesting information, from people in the know, when I was on Pataki's staff in '94.
