West Fights With Gay Activists in District

[William769]

Gay activists who threatened to boycott businesses that invited Rep. Allen West to speak before their association have won that fight, but the congressman and his wife are firing back.

The Wilton Manors Business Association in the South Florida district of the Tea Party favorite had invited West as a guest speaker. But that outraged the Florida Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Democratic Caucus, which sent a letter warning that if the event went forward, a boycott would ensue. West has said marriage must be between a man and a woman because it's intended for procreation, and he opposed repeal of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

The event was canceled, so West wrote a disappointed letter to the group Monday. In it he said it was "intolerable" that gay activists "would call upon a boycott to hurt small business owners trying to earn a living and only wanting to better be informed about business related issues from their member of Congress. Clearly, we have learned who really are the intolerable individuals in South Florida."

3. Part of this OP has always bothered me

'West has said marriage must be between a man and a woman because it's intended for procreation'

So it seems that republicans only get married to have sex and make babies.
Is west saying that couples that do not plan on having children and people that can not have babies
should be banned from marriage?? Kinda seems that way

I do agree with poster that west is his own kinda slime

4. He's wrong. That's all there is to it. It's biology, not political opinion.

5. Is there a more ignorant politician out there than Allan West?

Very sorry that he does not like his fellow Americans, and objects to them categorically.

I reject West specifically--for his bigotry and lack of ideas.
