Area Religious Leaders to fight Cleveland's Gay Registry

I previously posted about how I hoped the City of Cleveland and the, Convention and Visitors Bureau of Greater Cleveland, attempts at increasing tourism here by turning this area into a Homo-Haven didn't pick up any speed.

Not only did it pick up speed, but we may soon be seeing sissy's in Speedos and cowboys in assless chap's if the Gaylympics, accompanied by a Gay Rodeo, are hosted here.

"Out in Cleveland" has reported The Cleveland Synergy Foundation has recently hired the global public relations firm Fleishman-Hillard International Communications to help organize landing the 20014 Gaylympics.

Oh boy, I can't wait - we will have a "flamer," with a flaming Gaylympic torch skipping down Euclid Ave. being cheered on by a bunch of bi-sexual, bare-back rodeo riders!

Adding legitimacy to the City of Cleveland becoming a Sanctuary City for Sissy's, is the foolishness by the City of Cleveland Clowncil. With the infrastructure failing, police radios barely working, clowncil members getting arrested, etc... they enact a Gay Registry.

Since all the conservative leaders in this area, (are there any? Oh wait the RPCC pretends they have some...), sit with that dumb & ineffective "but we try" look on their face, but as always - do nothing, the City of Cleveland continues dragging this whole region down.

But thankfully we have some area religious leaders willing to fight in attempts at keeping Cleveland from becoming the new Homo-Haven of the United States...

From the PD --

Several local pastors have banded together in an effort to repeal Cleveland's recently passed domestic-partner registry.

A group led by the Rev. C. Jay Matthews of Mt. Sinai Baptist Church is circulating two types of petitions, one of which would put the controversial issue on a citywide referendum ballot.

Matthews cast the registry as a sneaky maneuver by the City Council to circumvent a 2004 constitutional amendment that banned gay-marriage and civil unions in Ohio.

"It should be handled by the state of Ohio and, unfortunately, our city is once again out of step with the reality of the challenges that are before us," Matthews said at news conference Tuesday at his church. He was joined by seven other religious leaders. More...

But here is the most upsetting thing out of all this... many of the so-called conservative leaders, so-called visionaries of conservatism and "social club" members of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County, in violations of our bylaws, donated money and actively supported the elected DEMOCRAT clowncilman responsible for the Gay Registry -- Cleveland's biggest clown -- Joe Simpleman.

Yep, you got it Cuyahoga County Conservative Sparky - while the leaders of the RPCC sat silent, party officers and long time party members supported the person responsible for this slippery slope type thinking that is bringing Cleveland a Gay Registry.

"Here's the thing: if they're against gay marriage, then say that," said Councilman Joe Cimperman, who sponsored the registry's creation. "This is not about gay marriage."

With this, since we cannot count on our $400K+ a year party leaders, I am asking and urging all members of the Republican Party of Cuyahoga County to support the initiative to put a city-wide referendum on the ballot.
