DON’T BE DECEIVED

So you think Charlie Crist is a friend of the GLBT community and there is no danger voting for him for Governor?

Charlie Crist OPPOSES equal marriage rights for gays and lesbians. He is proud to have signed the so-called Marriage Protection Amendment. Charlie Crist OPPOSES the repeal of the ban on adoption by GLBT parents. Charlie Crist OPPOSES civil rights on the basis of sexual orientation. (source: Florida Baptist Witness interview)

The following are direct quotes from charliecrist.com:
• Charlie Crist agrees with President Bush that private individuals may enter contractual relationships with each other; however he does not support the state extending marital benefits to same-sex couples.
• As Attorney General, Charlie Crist successfully defended Florida’s definition of marriage as an institution between one man and one woman.
• Charlie Crist believes that marriage is an institution between one man and one woman.
• As Governor, Charlie Crist will support a constitutional amendment that honors marriage as an institution between one man and one woman.

Charlie Crist is the candidate of the party that has donated $300,000 to Florida4Marriage.org in an attempt to make the GLBT community an issue in the 2008 elections. And as a running mate, he chose Jeff Kottkamp, recipient of the Christian Coalition’s “2004 Faith and Family Award.”Don’t be deceived.

Jim Davis is the only candidate for governor who is on record as supporting civil rights and equality for the GLBT community. Vote Davis/Jones on November 7.
