'Gay' agenda stalled

Augusta Chronicle Editorial Staff

The large majority of Americans who cherish traditional family values will applaud the newly-consolidated ExxonMobil Corp.'s decision to end Mobil's policy of granting so-called ``domestic partner'' benefits to homosexual employees as well as unmarried heterosexual couples.

Since even leading ``gay rights'' activists admit that many homosexuals are notoriously promiscuous, wouldn't it be frustrating and costly for any company to continually update the records every time some homosexual wants his latest ``lover'' to get benefits?

Some pandering politicians -- the latest being Hillary Clinton -- want the U.S. Armed Forces to drop the ``don't ask, don't tell'' policy that leads to open homosexuals being drummed out. (By all indications, the vast majority of commanders want to keep the policy to ensure military cohesion and readiness.)

Yet if homosexuals are put on an ``equal'' level with heterosexuals, the former will naturally ask for the same benefits as the latter. If they obtain them, they hope that will be the best argument to renew their stalled push for legalizing same-sex marriage.

Contrary to what the homosexual lobby would have America believe, there is more resistance to its pushy, decadent political/sexual agenda than ever before.
