Iowa Defense Alliance

Just so you know~ Chuck Schumer has come out for same-sex marriage. His announcement is heralded in a press release on the Empire State Pride Agenda website. On my first trip to the website I learned that this group is “Winning Equality and Justice for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender New Yorkers and Our Families.” No wonder they are right on the news of Schumer’s change of heart and backing to reverse the Defense of Marriage Act.

A portion of the Press Release:

Press Release
Senator Schumer Announces Support for Marriage Equality and Calls for the Full Repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act

Schumer becomes highest-ranking U.S. Senator to support marriage equality for same-sex couples…

Also- what I find interesting in this New York Daily News article about Chuck Schumer’s change of mind is that the writer was “pressured” to “Update” and change the title.

UPDATE: OK, so under pressure from several fronts, I have changed the title of this post to eliminate the word “flips,” which seems to be upsetting to some people as it has a “negative connotation.”
The powers-that-be prefer the idea that the senior senator, like his junior counterpart, has “evolved” on this issue…

I wish to warn Iowans that while New York seems far away the same groups that shove their gay rights agendas on the coasts have their bull’s eye target set on Iowa. We have our work cut out for us to defend marriage. I believe that Schumer caving in- flip flopping- will only make the gay rights activists hungrier for victory in Iowa.  If you do not wish to “evolve” as a state the time is now to speak up and speak out about marriage being between one man and one woman.

Out of state gay rights activists have already marked their territory in Iowa and Schumer just flipped and flopped his way to offer up more assistance for their cause.
