URGE SENATOR MAJORITY LEADER FRIST TO REPUDIATE ANTI-GAY COMMENTS BY PENNSYLVANIA SENATOR RICK SANTORUM

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist R-TN

Please contact Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist R-TN and urge him to publicly repudiate the anti-gay remarks made by Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum in an interview with the Associated Press. In the interview, Santorum compares homosexuality with bigamy, polygamy, incest and adultery. He also said that homosexuality, feminism and liberalism undermine the family.

Santorum is the chair of the Republican conference committee, the third highest seat in the Republican leadership. Santorum’s statements mark the second time in recent months that a Republican leader has made comments marginalizing or attacking an entire segment of the population. In December 2002, Sen. Trent Lott made remarks at Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party that that many interpreted as supporting segregation.
