Box 1281 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33302 PRESS RELEASE ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ REED, ROBERTSON AND SOME LIBERAL GAYS They're blinded by Log Cabin's place at the American Table. November 17, 1995, Orlando Florida, Presidency III. Standing in the shadow of Pat Robertson, a religious media financial magnet, Ralph Reed, Christian Coalition Executive Director, cried out "You'd better get used to us for a long, long time, because we're here to stay and we're not going anywhere." Robin Bodiford, co-Chair of South Florida's Americans for Equality and Vice President of the Dolphin Democratic Club- "daughter of southern 'yeller dog Democrats- " proclaims Republicans are "enemies of gays and lesbians, people of color, poor children, women, and working people." She apparently rejects the thought of "Gay and Republican" although seemingly a victim of the glass ceiling and ole Southern Conservative Democratic attitudes regarding her sexual orientation not her caucasian heritage. Broward Log Cabin Club of Florida accepts the misguided treatment and understands the attempted exclusion which is a result of fear and a lack of education. Yet, like Ralph Reed, it reiterates to those who would subliminally or otherwise bar us from inclusion that "we too are here to stay for a long, long time, so you'd better get used to us!" Likewise, we proclaim to those Southern Baptists, who have challenged our equality of rights under the cloak of "special gay rights," that one day they too shall apologize as they recently did to Black America whom they subliminally enslaved through misguided Biblical interpretation and facaded unholy justification. We tell politicians on both sides of the fence that we've bled and died for the beliefs on which this nation was founded, that we are all equal under the laws and statutes of this nation and that no misguided- fallacious inquisition shall deny us our freedom to worship, our freedom to speak the truth, our political heritage and our right to the ballot box and the "American Table of Inclusion."
