Holt Jr." Denver, Sept. 27, 1994 -- A group of gays and lesbian Coloradans has formed an organization to protest the immoral lifestyle showcased by gubernatorial candidate Bruce Benson. Named "Gays and Lesbians Against Immoral Lifestyles," the group plans to picket and protest Benson campaign appearences, so as to prevent him from promoting his anti-family, immoral lifestyle, which has included adultery, drunk driving and fornication. "Gay are often accused of weakening families," said Rick Cendo, spokesperson for GLAIL. "But gays don't weaken and destroy families. Adulterers, divorcers and drunk drivers do. And those are just the values showcased by Bruce Benson. We should be sending the message to children that it's wrong to drive drunk, get caught, and drive drunk again. That kind of behavior kills mothers, fathers and children. We should be sending the message that it's wrong to cheat on your spouse, divorce your spouse and then bring the mistress along to raid the family house. This is the behavior that destoys families. And by electing Bruce Benson, we would be endorsing this kind of behavior." "If Colorado For Family Values really cares about families, then it should publicaly and stenously condemn Bruce Benson and his attempt, through his candidacy, to put the government stamp of approval on his immoral lifestyle," Cendo said. "I can't see how Colorado For Family Values can call itself pro-family while tacitly endorsing a family wrecker for governor."
