Quotes on HB07-1330: Homosexual Adpotion

From the Rocky Mountain News:

"This is a remake of the homosexual agenda. It’s not about protecting children. It is an attack on the traditional family. It undermines traditional marriage structure that we need to keep strong and sacred." - Senator Scott Renfroe (R-Evans)

From the Denver Post:

But several Republicans argued that voters already have spoken on the issue - when they rejected Referendum I in the last election.

The referendum would have recognized same-sex unions and granted couples the same legal rights as married couples.

"That's not a policy that they want in the state of Colorado," said Sen. Ted Harvey, R-Highlands Ranch.

Sen. David Schultheis, R-Colorado Springs, said he was "appalled" lawmakers would try to push the legislation after Referendum I failed. The bill ignores "what is in the best interest of a child, which to me is a mother and a dad," he said.

But Veiga countered that her legislation is not about "whether you should have gay relationships" but about protecting children.

Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver, kicked up another round of debate when he said the bill was about "unconditional love and people joining together to raise children."

"Children do well when they are loved," he said.

Romer's comments prompted Sen. Shawn Mitchell, R-Broomfield, to tell him his "eloquent argument turned around and bit itself in the behind."

Mitchell called it "nonsense" that lawmakers could legislate love. "That's beyond the power of the legislature," he said.

One Step Closer to Homosexual Adpotion

This morning the Colorado State Senate voted on a 2nd reading voice vote to pass HB07-1330, a bill that would allow homosexual adoption in the state of Colorado.

HB07-1330 is a direct attack upon the will of the people of Colorado, who overwhelmingly voted against Ref. I. This is typical Democrat pay back to the liberal money bags that put them in power, Tim Gill and Jared Polis.


The recorded, 3rd reading vote in the Senate will come later this week.

City of Fort Collins advances gay agenda...

...at least it looks that way to me.

One of my many internet sources shared an email he received from a group that is part of the homosexual lobby.

The interesting part is that the email was sent by an employee of the City of Fort Collins' Recreation Department.

Does the City of Fort Collins allow it's employees to use their taxpayer funded email to advance their own personal, liberal agendas or is the City paying someone to advance an anti-family agenda?

Call the City of Fort Collins to complain: (970) 221-6500 .
