So it turns out the asswipe who organized Prop 8 has a lesbian sisiter

[ruggerson]

who is runnning for a judicial seat on the Superior Court in Northern California.

"Frank Schubert, communications consultant extraordinaire for foes of gay marriage, is the man responsible for managing California's Proposition 8 campaign and the man responsible for much of the advertising and communications strategy behind Maine's Question 1. Both of these statewide ballot initiatives took marriage rights away from gay and lesbian couples in their respective states, something that Frank Schubert wears as a badge of honor. The man has even won awards for leading the charge against gay marriage, an issue Schubert finds detrimental to the public health and dangerous to children and society.

Maybe someone should take a second to ask Schubert, then, if he finds his sister a threat to the family. Because as it turns out, Frank's sister, Anne Marie Schubert, is not only openly lesbian, but she's political, too. According to the Bay Area Reporter, she's running for a judge seat on the Sacramento County Superior Court.

Yet while Frank Schubert works tirelessly to prevent people like his sister from attaining equal rights under the law, he still loves his sister. To hear him tell it to the Bay Area Reporter, he's rooting for her to become the next judge in Sacramento County. Sounds like he's being a good brother. But if Anne Marie Schubert would make a good judge in the mind of Frank Schubert, why wouldn't she make a good wife? And why would Frank Schubert build his entire professional identity around preventing people like his own sister from attaining equality?

Frank Schubert joins a roster of people who work passionately to take away civil rights for gays and lesbians, despite having family members who are LGBT. Look no further than Newt Gingrich, or Phyllis Schlafly to see folks who harsh on gays, yet have raised or are siblings with LGBT family members."

1. you didn't know he had a lesbian sister?

that was fairly big news at the time. would be ironic if she got to overturn prop 8.

2. That would be perfect

I hope it happens.

4. Couldn't happen, she'd be expected to recuse herself.

Just having him as her brother would be considered a conflict of interest.

3. I hope that, for a change, she makes his life hell at family gatherings.

5. Now that is really, really really sad.

6. I'm glad I'm not their mother and father. that would be a hard pill to swallow.
