Gary Randall’s blog posts are always a walk on the wild side, but today’s is a particular hoot.
We are particularly concerned about the several thousand [petition signers] deemed “not registered” voters and the 501 signatures they say don’t match the signature on file.
Yeah, I’d have expected much better quality from Gary’s paid signature mercenaries. ->eye roll<- Have you forgotten your hired gun already, Gary, they guy who baldfaced lied to gullible voters? Just your style, wasn’t he? I bet he did a bang-up job making sure that everyone who signed his sheet (a.k.a. signed his paycheck) was a registered Washington voter. By the way, neither your PAC nor Larry Stickney’s has admitted paying for the mercenaries or receiving their services as in-kind assistance from another entity. Don’t for a moment think that we haven’t noticed.
Here’s a video of Gary earnestly discussing the matter.
Gary also whines that he’s being described as “anti-gay” in a press report. He says
I know there are those in the Seattle press who understand that at the heart of the matter, we are not “anti-gay rights,” but are pro-traditional or natural marriage….I, nor most of the tens of thousands of people who are standing for and actively defending marriage, are “anti-gay rights.” We are pro-marriage.
The PI got it right. When “pro-marriage” equals attacking the legal and financial stability of over 5,800 Washington families only because many of them are gay, then by your own definition you are anti-gay. Own it, Gary. But this is my favorite part because it is an outright lie that is debunked by Gary’s own words and actions:
It was only when homosexual activists began to demand that marriage be deconstructed and family be redefined, that we became active.
ROTFL! Oregon Gary was instrumental in the effort to repeal the LGBT anti-discrimination law in 2006, a full year before the measly initial form of domestic partnerships was instituted in Washington. Remember R-65, Gary, and your ignominious three-way with Tim Eyman and Pastor Joe Fuiten? How conveniently soon you forget! Your current anti-family activism wasn’t sparked by any particular domestic partnership law. The truth is that you hate it when gay people are treated fairly, and have dedicated your senescent years to persecuting them. Admit it Gary. Tell the truth for once in your life.

Who is he kidding?
That statement is an outright lie. Is he so delusional that he thinks that domestic partnerships are the same thing as marriage? So, yeah Gary, you’re a liar, you’re homophobic, and you’re an outdated relic. You’re a triple threat! Congratulations!
The video is full of lies and deceptionR-71 isn’t about marriage, it’s expanding domestic partnership rights. The only potential good I see coming from deceitful tactics is tighter regulations on signature gathers. Like truthful representation of their petitions and volunteers only, no paid signature gathers.
What do ya wanna betthat he’s one of those people who are always whining about Acorn?
if you were casting the role of BITTER Small Minded Hateful White Male BigotGary would be PERFECT.
He should be the GOP poster boy…er….troll
This is a bit like Generalissimo Francisco Franco expressing shock that Spain was a fascist country for decades.
I just have to share this.Here is a comment left on Gary’s blog by someone showing how not anti-gay they are. Gee, I’m convinced, aren’t you?
All I can hope when this author reaches Judgement DayJesus is standing there with St John resting his head on his chest, and the Virgin Mary has a P-FLAG t-shirt on. For her GOOD son-in-law, who cared for her in her grief, and until the day she died.
SUPRISE!
Lurleen do you know what religon Gary Randall is?He sure looks like those Mormon elders, but then that whole professing Judeo-Christian philosophy doesn’t fly, most Christian denominations don’t recognise Mormons as Christians, and Jews sure don’t want to claim them.
Err yeah….As a Christian I would like to go on record.I am against limiting marriage to an exclusively heterosexual choice.
not sure exactlysome sort of non-mormon evangelical. he used to be a televangelist of sorts, based in oregon.
Why?Why do we allow these people to get away with referring to themselves as “pro-marriage?” Even putting the term in quotes becomes misleading. I know the quotes are considered a weasler to downplay the term, but so long as we allow them to be considered pro-marriage it completely undercuts our message.
I would say we should refer to them as pro-heterecentric marriage, or something to that affect, or even calling them anti-marriage or anti-family as they feel that only certain people are entitled to marriage or to having a family of their choosing.
I seriously hope the folks in Washington (those running the Approve-71 campaign) learned from California’s mistakes. After all, the campaign they are running is NOT about marriage, it is a flat out assault on LGBT relationships (as well as senior citizens.) They don’t just want to prevent us from marriage, they want the state to dissolve ANY and ALL recognition of our relationships, in EVERY state.
I know you probably want to keep the campaign “positive,” but you are going to have to put out advertisements that also expose these guys for what they are and that they aren’t just coming after us, they are going after senior citizens. Who are they going to go after next? Don’t think for a minute they will go after some other group.
We couldjust refer to them as the anti-equality group. This at least keeps it to gender neutral phrasing.
If they don’t like anti-gayhow about…. BREEDER ONLY MARRIAGE supporters.
We could put up signs, gays not allowed, Breeders Only.
But you’re probably one of those “Christians”who try to listen to that Jesus fellow. All the real Christians know that it’s all about Paul, especially the Pauline epistles that those damn heathen scholars think may have been written by someone else.
Oh, and Leviticus and Revelation — those are good, too, especially when you mix Revelation with fragments of Daniel and don’t talk about which is which.
i didn’t refer to them as pro-equlity.they refer to themselves that way, and i can’t comment on that without using the term. i personally refer to them as anti-family.
um, no.many gays are breeders too.
Hey, Jesus and his “beloved disciple” were NOT gay!King David and his lover Jonathan told me so.
What the heck is a “Natural” Marriage?
well it just so happensthat i have another diary that talks a bit about that.
Purveyors of natural marriage usually express it more softly, but this is, in essence, what it is. think: heterosupremacy dressed up to wound wholesome.
