Rep. Jo Jordan, hand over your L-Card

Somebody tell me how you can be a lesbian and vote against your own people, or your rights? That what Rep. Jo Jordan of Hawaii did. This woman voted against marriage equality.

Why? She said that she's a legislator first and foremost. To vote for gay marriage, would be biased. Uh, it wouldn't be biased, it would be the right thing to do!

The LGBT community in Hawaii is ripping her a new one, and out of all people, Brian Brown comes to her aid:

Despite being called "Judas" in the gay press (along with suffering some other malignant and tasteless personal attacks) she is doing the right thing to express concerns about the many examples of punishment that people have suffered when marriage has been redefined elsewhere. Legal scholars on both sides of the issue brought this to the attention of all lawmakers, and it’s gratifying that Rep. Jordan is examining those concerns.

I don't know what Jordan will do in the future with respect to this issue. She is under tremendous pressure from gay activists and we should hold her in prayer. But whatever her final vote, the fact that she has acknowledged as legitimate the concerns many people have about the consequences of redefining marriage is an example of the kind of public servants we need more of in this country: elected officials who are willing to critically examine the issues without counting the cost and without worrying about being maligned and vilified by small-minded individuals who have no respect for the democratic process.

With that bigot supporting her, it's clear she's no longer a part of us. Jo has shat on the LGBT community and if I could, I would rebuke her in the name gayness.

Jo, we don't need folks like you.
