AG's 'Wink and Nod' at Homosexuals Sends Wrong Message, Virginia Activist Says

by Rusty Pugh
November 4, 2003

(AgapePress) - A Virginia pro-family activist says although that state's attorney general is a conservative, he is still trying to appease homosexual groups by agreeing with some of their extreme positions.

The Family Policy Network recently broke the news that Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore, a Republican and professed Christian, had seemingly violated traditional family values by signing a so-called "nondiscrimination pledge" put out by homosexual groups.

 
FPN President Joe Glover
Kilgore's office says the politician never signed a pledge. But FPN president Joe Glover says Kilgore did send a letter to the homosexual groups in which he stated that he would not discriminate against any group.

According to Glover, the end result is the same. He feels the attorney general is trying to have it both ways. "On the one hand [Kilgore] can say, 'I didn't sign the pledge.' On the other hand, he can say to the homosexual activists 'But I agree with it, essentially,'" Glover says.

He believes Kilgore's letter to the homosexual community demonstrates that, for the attorney general, homosexuals using their lifestyle choice as a basis for seeking special preferences is a non-issue, which the FPN spokesman says "is not the right kind of message for a Christian statesman of any type -- or even a Christian in his private capacity" to send. Instead, Glover contends, "What they should say is, it is an issue. It is a cause for concern."

FPN's president feels that Kilgore, as a Christian and member of a conservative Baptist church, should recognize the danger inherent in any actual or implicit nondiscrimination pledge to the homosexual community, and he is calling upon Kilgore to issue a retraction for his statements.
