Former Congressman Davis does make a valid point; “The 2.7 percent of
Pennsylvania citizens who identify as homosexual, bisexual or
transgender have the same rights as every Pennsylvanian." Why is it
necessary to extend 'special rights' to this tiny minority? After all,
equality is the name of the game.

(Harrisburg) — In April 2011 UCLA’s pro-homosexual think tank the
Williams Institute released a report finding that 4 percent of the US
population identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT),
with only 4 million or 1.7 percent identifying as “gay.” Now the same
think tank, upon reviewing Gallup Polling data, has reported that 3.5%
of the US population identity as LGBT. Pennsylvania is below the
national average at 2.7% of the Pennsylvania population identifying as
LGBT. The statewide traditional values group, the American Family
Association of Pennsylvania (AFA of PA), notes that there are
increased efforts within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to extend
special protections to this very small group of individuals simply
because of the sexual activity in which they engage. The AFA of PA
will make this information available to all members of the General
Assembly.
“Are laws in Pennsylvania being written or re-written to accommodate
2.7% of the entire population — 331,589 people?” asked Diane Gramley,
president of the AFA of PA. “This is a very small, but vocal group
demanding Pennsylvania validate sexual perversion.”
Already a bill has been introduced to legalize fake marriage — civil
unions. Hate crimes legislation which equates changeable ‘sexual
orientation” with unchangeable race and ethnicity has also been
introduced. A school anti-bullying bill which contains a list of
protected classes including ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’
will, if passed, target students with deeply held religious beliefs
that homosexuality is wrong. As in past years, there will be another
effort to add “sexual orientation and gender identity” to the PA Human
Relations Act.
Former Congressman Artur Davis has made it clear that equating the
efforts by homosexuals to advance ‘gay rights’ with those of
African-Americans is wrong. He notes that homosexuals have never been
prevented from voting, nor excluded from public accommodations or
union shops. Their struggle is not the same as those faced by
African-Americans.
“The 2.7 percent of Pennsylvania citizens who identify as homosexual,
bisexual or transgender have the same rights as every Pennsylvanian.
Saying there is a need for ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity ‘
to be added to laws so they won’t lose their jobs or be thrown out of
their apartment is disingenuous,” noted Gramley.
