Washington—The Log Cabin
Republicans denounce the alarming statements made by Senator Rick Santorum
(R-PA) to the Associated Press. In those remarks Santorum supported sodomy
laws in place in Texas and compared homosexuals with polygamists, adulterers
and people who commit incest. “There is nothing conservative about allowing
law enforcement officials to enter the home of any American and arrest them
for simply being gay. I am deeply troubled that Senator Santorum would divide
America in a time of war. Mainstream America is embracing tolerance and
inclusion. I am appalled that a member of the United States Senate leadership
would advocate dividing Americans with ugly hate filled rhetoric,” said Log
Cabin Republican executive director Patrick Guerriero. “The discriminatory
remarks made by Senator Santorum clearly do not reflect the compassionate
conservatism promised by our President. I thought we were past these type of
remarks now that Jesse Helms is no longer in the Senate,” said John Partain,
president of the Pennsylvania Log Cabin Republicans.
