Bolton's UN Spokesman who defends anti-gay vote is gay
Monday, April 24, 2006
TAKE ACTION: UN Spokesman who defends anti-gay vote is gay
It's the first Roy Cohn Award of the 2006 political season!

This is blogACTIVE's first internationally connected Roy Cohn Award. blogACTIVE has learned that John Bolton's spokesman at the United Nation's, Richard Grenell, is gay. Mr. Grenell confirmed this information directly to blogACTIVE and he explained that ambassador Bolton had welcomed him into his home with a male date.

This is the same John Bolton who made this happen:

For the complete story of how the US
sided with anti-gay regimes in denying
observer status to LGBT groups, click here.

Spokesmen always hold a special place at blogACTIVE. They are the guys crafting the message that sells this crap to the American people. And Grenell apparently isn't all that beloved by the press. Here's what a 2004 profile in the Village Voice had to say:
http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0335,cotts,46556,6.html

But several sources in the UN press corps who spoke on condition of anonymity describe the as "rude," "arrogant," and a "bully," neither popular nor a particularly good source. "He's unbearable," says one journalist. "Very pushy and very demanding," says another. Grenell is said to complain incessantly, hectoring correspondents and their bosses and trying to "mold" wire stories to fit his message. He yells at anyone whose slant doesn't follow his, says one source. "He yells at people whenever he is uncomfortable, particularly foreigners," says another.

TAKE ACTION: CLICK HERE TO EMAIL ROY COHN AWARD WINNER RICHARD GRENELL. Let him what you think of a gay man representing a homophobic administration. Let him know what you think of his defending the US vote with Iran and Sudan on gay rights. A copy will be sent to the press offices of members of the UN Security Council and the press officers of some of anti-gay regimes with which the US sided on the gay and lesbian organizations vote -- as always, a copy will also be sent to blogACTIVE.

4. Actually, just because he had "a male date" doesn't make him gay...
It could just be that he was so horny that night, he didn't care that his date was male.

"Hey, Richard!"
"Hiya Bob!"
"Richard... you got a date for Ambassador Bolton's party tonight?"
"No, I don't. And I'm so horny, too."
"Who'd you ask?"
"I asked every woman in the office."
"You didn't ask me."
"But you're a dude. And I'm not gay."
"So? At least you're guaranteed to get to third base."
"Okay, sure. But no kissing on the lips, okay?"
"Sure thing, Richard. Pick you up at eight?"
"I told you, I'm not gay. I'll pick you up at 8:30."

2. That happens all the time in this administration. They seem to attract
Edited on Mon Apr-24-06 12:43 PM by BrklynLiberal
self-loathers of all kinds. Many of the most outspoken anti-gay mouthpieces for this administration are either gay themselves or have gay children. It is ironic and very sad.
