Frank Schubert, Mastermind Behind Prop 8 False Ads, Has a Gay Sister
Jon Ponder | Nov. 15, 2008


Frank Schubert is the president of Schubert-Flint Public Affairs, the political shop hired to manage the campaign to revoke the right of gay people to marry in California.

Under Schubert’s direction, California voters were bombarded with false advertising, including an ad that purported that if Prop 8 failed, children would be forced to learn about gay marriage, kindergartners would be taught sex ed and churches would lose their right to free speech.

Other than deep and abiding bigotry, it’s hard to imagine what would motivate someone to foment such hatred toward a minority group. And yet, in an interview with the New York Times, Schubert revealed that he has a gay sister:

For his part, Mr. Schubert said he is neither anti-gay — his sister is a lesbian — nor happy that some same-sex couples’ marriages are now in question. But, he said, he has no regrets about his campaign.

So he did it for the money? In any case, Thanksgiving should be interesting for the Schubert family.

It's sickening. Obviously he'd proud of his campaign, he was paid handsomely for it and since it was so "successful" he'll make even more money in the future. I hope his lesbian sister hits him upside the head with a drum stick at Thanksgiving.

rabid anti-gay proponents. Exactly what is it they are so afraid of? It would seem that if your daughter, son, sister or brother is gay, you would be able to understand the situation with a bit more empathy. I remember feeling pretty badly for the Cheney's daughter when her parents came out so adamantly against homosexuality..

It must be heartbreaking for the families of these outrageous hypocrites.
