Frank Schubert, Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment Mastermind, Crumbles Under Questioning (AUDIO) - This is HUGE! Frank Schubert is the NOM strategist behind the Prop 8 campaign and is behind the "marriage equality will harm children" lie. However, during an interview with Michelangelo Signorile, Schubert seems to have what can be called a breakdown under intense questioning. This has to be heard to be believed. Try to listen to it all, but the real good stuff starts at 10:00. According to Signorile:

Schubert seemed to crumble when I played a clip of Marc Mutty, his campaign manager in Maine in 2009, admitting in the new documentary Question One that the campaign had used hyperbole and engaged in distortions and untruths (and saying that he was worried that he would be remembered for that ugly campaign). Schubert responded to me by oddly distancing himself from the campaign while also saying that Mutty was "misrecalling" events.
... Several times he said he is not trying to stop gay adoption because he just wants to "protect" traditional marriage and is not "on a crusade" to take away the rights of gays -- including those of his own sister. (I raised the fact that she, a Sacramento deputy district attorney, is a lesbian in a relationship and has children, as has been reported in the media.) But why isn't he on that crusade if he truly believes that children do better in heterosexual households, as his campaign rhetoric claims? The only answer is that his money is coming from the folks trying to ban gay marriage, not from those trying to ban gay adoption. And that's what it seems to be all about for Schubert: money.

I do not believe this guy called Michelangelo a dummy. I listened to the thing and I heard "...tell me."
ReplyDeleteHe still got destroyed, and I loved it
Please update your post. Sign oriel has removed his claim that he was called a dummy.
ReplyDeleteDone ;p
ReplyDeleteAll these loving, caring christianist souls say they don't hate us gays, they just want to protect marriage.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I missed it, but where were they, where was the shouting and screaming, when no-fault divorce was approved in New York state just 2 years ago? (NY was the last state in which this became legal). I would think that divorce was a much greater threat to marriage than expanding it to include more people... Just saying.
