He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me." John 9:36-37

'LGBT families' urged to crash Bushes' annual egg-roll event

Do the homosexuals have to make a political statement out of everything? This is totally uncalled for. If the homosexual families want to show up because they had already decided to do so, then go ahead, but don't turn a fun, family event into some kind of perverted political protest.
Then need to follow what their icon, Bill Clinton, always said: "do it for the children". Do it for the children, not for the political shock value.

An advocacy group for the so-called lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community is urging its supporters to be the first in line this year at the White House Easter Egg Roll to show "family visibility" to the nation.
Mark Tooley, writing in the Weekly Standard, says a church-based homosexual-rights group,
Soulforce, sent an e-mail to supporters giving instructions for the event.
"On April 17, 2006, when the White House lawn is opened to families for the Annual Easter Egg Roll, imagine if the first 1,000 families onto the lawn were LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] families," said the Jan. 4 e-mail. Once America sees the White House lawn awash in LGBT families, "there will be no going back," Soulforce promised.
Tooley claims it's the first time anyone has tried to "exploit the annual White House Easter Egg Roll for political purposes."
Soulforce regularly protests church events to demand denominations change their policies on homosexuality, using the principles of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi. The organization was begun by Mel White, once a writer for Christian pastors who later embraced homosexuality and became a clergyman in the "gay" Metropolitan Community Church. Soulforce is planning to protest at Focus on the Family in Colorado this summer.
According to the e-mail, the group is asking "LGBT families" to arrive at the White House gate the night before the April event to be sure to be the first ones in. Volunteers will be available to save places for those who cannot spend the night.
Supporters reportedly will arrive with special "non-political" T-shirts to identify themselves as "LGBT."
The annual Easter Egg Roll dates back to President Rutherford B. Hayes.
"The media will be there (they are always there for the egg roll) and millions of Americans – many for the first time – will meet our families," the Soulforce e-mail explained. "This is an amazing opportunity to reach homes in blue states and red states with positive images of our families participating in this great American family tradition.
"This event will be like nothing anyone has ever seen before. The White House lawn – t he Bush [italics in original] White House lawn – will, quite unexpectedly, be filled with gay and lesbian families. This is something people will be talking about for a long time, an event that will make history!"
An organization called Family Pride is working with Soulforce to recruit participants for the event.
A page on the group's website warns people not to post information on a searchable website for fear the Bush administration might find out and attempt to "keep our families from participating."
