From: exe00595 Subject: Colorado for Family Values 4/4 Date: Thu, 17 Mar 1994 21:41:46 -0500 (EST) CFV Report, Vol 14, March 1994 [Colorado for Family Values] The Book Every Coloradan Must Read in 1994! *Gay Politics vs. Colorado and America: The Inside Stroy of Amendment 2* by Stephen Bransford Believe it or not, *CFV Report* readers,there may be a wealth of facts you haven't learned about Amendment 2. For instance: * Did you know that Colorado for Family Values and Amendment 2 actually began with a simple phone call between two Colorado housewives? * Did you read the frightening text of H.B. 1059, the "Ethnic Harassment Bill," which would have made any speech against homosexuality a "hate crime?" * Are you aware of the personal stories behind Amendment 2? The inside personality struggles, the moments of uncertainty and doubt, the unlikely mix of styles and talents which blended to create one of the unlikeliest come-from-behind victories in recent American politics? * Have you ever read a beginning-to-end, factual account of the Amendment 2 campaign? Its ups and downs, its improbable twists and unbelievable victories? If you haven't, then you must read Stephen Bransford's *Gay Politics vs. Colorado and America* -- a book we flatly consider required reading for any Coloradan interested in the truth. Get a copy for yourself, then send another to a friend. If you've been frustrated with the thick curtain of lies that has surrounded this issue, this is your chance to fight back.

News Briefs Gay groups turn against NAMBLA Faced with an ultimatum by the United States to either expel the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) or lose its newly-won consulting status with the United Nations, leaders of the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) have voted to condemn pedophilia and ask NAMBLA to resign. Meanwhile, the United States Mission to the U. N. pulled back "at the very last minute" from an earlier plan to suspend ILGA. The U.S. move was averted by a letter from ILGA pledging to oust NAMBLA at its annual meeting in June. NAMBLA is refusing to quit ILGA. In a press release, it said the actions taken against it by ILGA leaders were a "craven and dishonest" maneuver to appease the U.S. Government. It said ILGA was lying about its past support for "man/boy love" positions, which are in fact similar to those of NAMBLA. On that count, at least, NAMBLA is telling the truth. Rep. Robert Dornan (R-CA), who has led the United States' opposition to NAMBLA, wrote, "After taking a look at ILGA's official resolutions over the past decade, I found that ILGA has consistently advocated many of the goals and objectives of NAMBLA." Closer to home, Franklin Whitworth, administrator of Ground Zero, Colorado Springs' own homosexual extremist group, has made quite a media show of supposedly "denouncing" NAMBLA in the local and state media. The Springs' new self-styled "hip" tabloid, *independent* [sic], eagerly ran Whitworth's pious fodder, including: "It' s time for American society as a whole to recognize the victimization of its youth through child molestation and abuse, and to dedicate itself to attacking the problem." "National Gay Groups Denounce Pedophilia," *independent*[sic], 22 December 1993, p. 7. To Washington D.C.'s homosexual "community" however -- farther away from hometown media -- Whitworth was far more honest about the crass political motives underlying his newfound "concern." Whitworth flatly told the gay newspaper *Washington Blade*, "I want to take away that tool that the radical right has been using against Gay organizations. I would like to think that this would take that hammer out of their hands." "NAMBLA denounced by groups," *Washington Blade*, 7 January 1994, p. 7.

Gay spending on March dwarfs even Clinton's Inaugural! Homosexual reports about the amount of money spent by tourists during the gay "March on Washington" bolster once again the fact that homosexuals rank among America' s most affluent, privileged special interest groups. The Washington D.C. Convention and Visitor's Association estimates that the week-long homosexual event brought more money to the capital -- $177 million -- than any other single event they'd tracked. By comparison, Clinton's inaugural brought in just about $65 million. CFV REPORT is published monthly by Colorado for Family Values. c 1994 All rights reserved.

In Their Own Words "What makes more sense than a woman or experienced teenage girl teaching a young girl about [lesbian] sex, and showing her what it is about? God, boys certainly don't know how to give sex to girls. The young girl may not end up gay, but at the same time, she probably will if it is a good experience for her." -- Letter from "M and T, Memphis," *Bad Attitudess, vol. 8, p. 3. "Part of it is people don't want to see the reality af gay " because they're repulsed." - Movie director Jonathan Demme, leading proponent of the Colorado boycott and director of the pro-homosexual weeper movie "Philadelphia," defending his decision not to cast openly gay actors in the leading roles or to show more explicit scenes of homosexual behavior. "Philadelphia draws fire from gay Kid in the Hall. . ." *Weekly Variety*, 24-30 January 1994, p. 2. "[Tebedo] is unexpectedly right about one thing: we do plan on continuing to erode homophobia and heterosexism which plagues us in Colorado.: -- Kay Morgan, Executive Director of the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Colorado, agreeing wlth Kevin's assessment of homosexual militancy in Colorado. Kevin had written in the January, 1994 *CFV Report*: "With the glare of international media focused on every aspect of 'gay rights' activity in our state, we expect to see Colorado in 1993 become a hotbed for every sort of militant homosexual harassment, political maneuvering and deception in the hook.'' According to Morgan, Kevin's assessment was correct! *Preferred Stock, 25 January 1994, p. 4.
