The primary campaign was particularly heated, and Handel's past membership in the gay rights group Log Cabin Republicans became an issue.[17] When Deal used her membership against her, Handel denied that she had ever been a member of the group, which was an important and influential constituency when she was a Commissioner. An investigation by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution confirmed that she was on the Log Cabin Republican's membership rolls in 2003 and 2004, and that she had signed a questionnaire affirming her support for domestic partnership benefits.[18] Politifact rated her denial a "Pants on Fire" lie.[17] When asked by Atlanta NBC affiliate WXIA-TV about her stance on gay rights, she said that she was against marriage and adoption for gays, and that gay people are not legitimate parents.[19]


Holy crap, they're everywhere (I don't mean gays, I mean the hypocritical. lying, cheating, no account, low life Conservatives.)
