Miers Opposed Repeal Of Anti-Gay Texas Sodomy Law
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/10/100405miers.htm

A document signed by Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers when she was a candidate for Dallas City Council in 1989 surfaced Monday night and is raising concerns among LGBT civil rights advocates.

In it Miers says she believes that gay men and lesbians should have the same civil rights as non gay men and women but would oppose repeal of the Texas sodomy law. The law was later struck down by the US supreme Court (story) The sixth vote in the split ruling was by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the judge Bush has nominated Miers to succeed.

Miers statements were made in response to a series of questions posed to all candidates for council by the Lesbian/Gay Coalition of Dallas. The coalition is no longer in existence. A copy of the questionnaire was provided to 365Gay.com Monday night by the Human Rights Campaign.

1. The question is whether or not this occured before her "rebirth"
She was also apparently pro-choice before the Lord told her to stop being compassionate and start being judgmental.

Anyone involved in Exodus Ministries is no friend of the GLBT community.

2. You beat me, I just posted that too :)
And I just want to say, this woman SHOULD NOT be allowed on the Supreme Court. I will not change my mind on this.

3. Question????
Does anyone else think that she is a lesbian who won't admit that to herself?

4. She's a "lady bachelor" according to a conservative pundit
on TV today.

I guess that's code for: dyke?

Who knows--but the fact that she is single makes her suspect on every level for the breeding-heart conservatives.
