Gay Republican Presidential Candidate Fred Karger Accuses Pro-Marriage Activist of Being Secretly Divorced

Republican protest candidate for President Fred Karger hasn‘t exactly been getting to run the Presidential campaign he’d like to run. The openly gay Republican has only outpaced one of the four major contenders (Ron Paul) once in the Puerto Rico primary, and has been forgotten alongside New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson. However, with recent controversial personal attacks, Karger may have finally found his fifteen seconds of fame.
Specifically, Karger accused National Organization for Marriage President Maggie Gallagher of lying about her marital status, accusing Gallagher of either marrying her current husband in order to help him get a green card, or not admitting that she was divorced. Stay classy, Karger. Buzzfeed has the story:
“I asked Maggie if she was still living in New York, and she told me that she moved to Washington, DC nearly three years ago. What about her husband Raman Srivastav? She allegedly married this East Indian man 19 years ago after living as an unwed mother for 11 years. No one has ever seen Maggie with Raman. Wonder if they really did get married? If so, maybe so he could get a green card?”
Karger also flags the absence of a wedding ring on Gallagher’s finger.[...]
“I’m taking the gloves off,” he said. “I’ve been a little reticent to go after [Gallagher] personally, but no more.”[...]
“They just make up all kind of stuff about me,” [Gallagher] said. “It doesn’t really matter. I could be divorced and I still could not be for gay marriage. I don‘t really see that it’s relevant. It is a fact — I am in fact married. I’ve only been married once. I am not about to get a divorce.”
Karger has been on the warpath against the National Organization for Marriage ever since documents were released which allegedly demonstrated plans to exploit lack of comfort with homosexuality among blacks. Arguably, the articles in question simply centered on finding pro-family spokespeople from minority communities in order to make accusations of bigotry less politically palatable.

While I would agree that the word usage by some opposers here to homosexuality is inappropriate, offensive, and unnecessary….
I would argue the point that having any form of a homosexual leader in charge, presents the strong possibility for bias and my concern with homosexuality, besides how my faith describes it is this:
You ask “How does it affect me?”, here’s my answer. The problem is that when you openly allow or solicit actions or lifestyles that are in opposition to mankind’s very genetic make-up….basically the “born gay” myth….you are fueling a falsely-accredited idea that people are not responsible or accountable for their actions/life-styles..that the excuse of being “born” that way, is somehow justifiable.
The fact of the matter is, even the leading pro-homosexual activists of the 60‘s and 70’s admitted that their intention behind harassing various doctors and medical review board personnel wasn’t because they were upset over the scientific description of homosexuality as being a mental (chosen) lifestyle….rather, they were simply trying to gain political attention and power.
It affects me/us/everyone, because it begs the question…When does it stop? First, you want to allow homosexual marriage…but will it stop there? What about the next activist group that wants polygamy? You are nurtering a culture that will do anything to have their PERSONAL LIFESTYLE decisions be deemed “acceptible” and “justified” somehow. Whe

Posted on April 13, 2012 at 3:16pmA stronger possibility for bias? A bias for what?
As for whether homosexuality is a life-style or if birth determines it, saying being born gay is a “myth” or a “falsely-accredited idea” is itself a falsehood. All scientific evidence would suggest that it is in a person’s genetic make-up to be homosexual. (For instance…http://discovermagazine.com/2007/jun/born-gay) There is no scientific evidence to suggest it is purely based on choice or a mental-defect. Those claiming that homosexuality is based on either or that there is not a suggested link to genetics have no scientific backing for their claims.
You still have no answered how it affects you. If what two consenting adults (or even a group of adults) want to do something that brings no harm to others, how does that affect you?
I am not nurturing a culture that harms anyone but a culture of live-and-let-live, of mind your own business and let people live their lives as they see fit. (And again, absolutely no scientific evidence that it is a personal decision. The Bible and your fear of catching gay are not science). You, however, are nurturing a culture of fear and interference in people’s lives.

There are plenty of scientific studies that could be used to back up the idea that sexuality is not genetic. Animal test studies have shown, for instance, that same-sex intercourse versus male-female intercourse is much more frequent when there is overpopulation, or when the animals are removed from their natural environment.
Ultimately its not an issue that can be proven by data-driven studies. Even if some study were to show biology influenced sexuality, the next question is, how? People’s personalities evolve over their lifetimes; sexuality is just merely one component to personality; people are not born with concepts of what gender is in their head, or what sexual organs are; so any biological influences must work by influencing a persons psychological makeup. If that’s how the biological influences work, they really aren’t really genetic. They act just like any other environmental influence.
Its not clear that animals even have such a thing as “sexuality” as most people understand it, btw. Animals do sexual acts, but there isn’t a clear line between dominant-submissive social behavior and sexuality. There isn’t always in people either. That’s why sometimes, peoples sexuality changes.
At any rate, I‘m not sure why you’re so interested in insisting that people who insist its not genetic are ignorant — despite scientific proof — if you really have a “live and let live” point of view. There are plenty of people who believe its not genetic bu

Your question is, of course, nonsensical since zero — Z E R O — homosexuals are capable of denying their compulsions and living a good life (’else they would not be gay).
However, since you brought up extremes, I think it good to make clear:
Gays have shown repeatedly they are incapable of placing their professional responsibilities above their gay activist desires. Examples abound, but for starters:
Bradley Manning
Judge Vaughn Walker
Fred Karger (whomever he is)
Thus, NO (as in zero) gay individuals can be entrusted with a position of responsibility and power over others’ lives.
Sad situation, since all of us know gay individuals who are decent people, bright, educated, kind. But, reality is what it is in the current gay political environment. Maybe in 20 years this will change, but for now not a single one can be trusted.
