Homosexual politician running unopposed in Missouri
Jeff Johnson - OneNewsNow - 8/13/2008 9:10:00 AM

An openly homosexual attorney, who previously did legal work for a homosexual pornographer, has been elected to the Missouri legislature.

According to the pro-homosexual website "The Advocate," Mike Colona is "a gay lawyer from St. Louis" who just won the Democratic primary in Missouri. And since Colona has no Republican opponent, he will take office next year.

Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, does not know which is worse -- the fact that Colona openly campaigned as a homosexual, or that Democrats knowingly supported a former attorney for a homosexual pornographer.

"This guy got endorsed by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, NARAL, the leading pro-abortion group in the country," says LaBarbera. "...I think the sad thing is the Democratic Party is becoming the home of the most immoral politicians and candidates in the country."

Colona defended his work as the "Custodian of Records" for a homosexual porn website during the campaign, claiming that he was "keeping kids safe." LaBarbera's response? "You've got to love a politician's ability to always put a friendly spin on something, even something as nasty as being the lawyer for a homosexual porn outfit."

The pro-homosexual website reports that Colona will become the fourth homosexual lawmaker among the 197 members of the Missouri legislature.

1. The Dem Party Is Becoming The Home Of The Most Immoral Politicians???

He hasn't paid very close attention the eight years, has he?

[BOSSHOG]

2. Did Larry Craig and David Vitter switch parties??

[sinkingfeeling]

3. LOL!!

[BOSSHOG]

12. Hello My Dear

I'm so happy to give you a little laugh in light of the terrible shooting in LR yesterday.

4. Hypocricy alert! beep beep beep!

Where were these "Americans for Truth about Homosexuality" when Larry Craig, Bob Allen and transvestite Giuliani were blasted out of 'the closet' in airport bathrooms?

[annabanana]

5. but Larry Craig "Is not, and has never been gay". .he said so himself.

(do you see the difference?)

[Bluenorthwest]

9. Larry Craig is a stratigh identified

married family man. Your kind o' guy. And when was Rudy or Allen invlolved in any airport bathroom scandal?

Oh, and transvestites are mostly straight. The huge majority of transvestites are married men like Rudy.
Do you know what any of these terms mean at all?

[gratuitous]

6. Why didn't AFA recruit a Republican opponent?

Apparently, the Republican party in Missouri has joined the Democrats in knowing support of Mr. Colona, because they didn't see fit to nominate a candidate of their own. Don't be so stingy with the fake acrimony and ersatz dudgoen there, Mr. LaBarbera. Oh, and why isn't your name "LaBarbero"? Anything you're not telling us, "Peter"?

[Swede]

7. So,starting wars is okay,but being homosexual is immoral?

Drank deep of the koolaid he has.

[meegbear]

8. He openly campaigned as a homosexual??1!!?1

And openly campaigning as a Christian is better?

[BOSSHOG]

11. Or openly

campaigning as a hypocrite which accounts for about 98.7% of all republicans who say they have christian conservative family values.

How does one "openly" campaign as a gay as opposed to openly campaigning as a straight? I guess I should ask David Vitter's wife.

[BreweryYardRat]

10. Colona's going to wind up murdered by these backwards-ass fucks.

Bet you $10 on it.

[Terran]

13. we have four LGBT's in our legislature??

'K, he's one and I know of one other, a woman representing some part of KC. But these other two...? Anyone know?
