Nation's Largest Gay Paper Covers Helms Granddaughter Story.
Some emails have asked me why Jennifer Knox? "Just because she is Jesse Helms' granddaughter?" asked one writer. Absolutely not. The other day, when I was asked the same question by Gay City News in NY, here's what I said:
This is where it all begins. No one starts off as a senator or congressman. What is important to realize is that Ms. Knox is a solid candidate for reporting even if she was not Mr. Helms’ granddaughter. She is running on the GOP ticket, with one of the most homophobic platforms in the nation. Her professional work for Mr. Helms and former Senator Lauch Faircloth qualify her case without question.The Gay City News is America's largest circulating weekly gay paper.
If anyone knows of ANYONE running for ANY elected office on a platform that has sections like these below, PLEASE email tips@blogactive.com today!
Reminder...Here is the platform Knox is running on:
> We believe homosexuality is not normal and should not be established as an acceptable "alternative" lifestyle either in public education or in public policyEnough of them already. ENOUGH!
> We support efforts to: (1) restore the ban against known homosexuals in the military
