The so-called “gay agenda” has been defined narrowly by the gay left. In
contrast to the approach of the left, GOProud’s agenda emphasizes
conservative and libertarian principles that will improve the daily lives of
all Americans, but especially gay and lesbian Americans.
1 – TAX REFORM – We support replacing the current tax code with the Fair
Tax. The Fair Tax would treat everyone – gay or straight – equally. Until
then, we support death tax repeal; domestic partner tax equity; cuts in the
capital gains and corporate tax rates to jump start our economy and create
jobs; a fairer, flatter and substantially simpler tax code.
2 – HEALTHCARE REFORM – Repeal of Obamacare; encourage free market
healthcare reform. Allow for the purchase of insurance across state lines –
expanding access to domestic partner benefits; emphasizing individual
ownership of healthcare insurance – such a shift would prevent
discriminatory practices by an employer or the government.
3 – SOCIAL SECURITY REFORM – The only way to permanent solvency in the
Social Security system is through the creation of inheritable personal
savings accounts. Personal savings accounts would give gay and lesbian
couples the same opportunity to leave their accounts to their spouses as
their straight counterparts.
4 – RESPECTING THE PROPER ROLE OF THE JUDICIARY – We believe our
Constitution should be respected and that judges appointed to the federal
bench should recognize the proper and appropriate role of the judiciary as
laid out by our Founding Fathers.
5 – HOLDING THE LINE ON SPENDING – Standing up for all tax payers against
wasteful and unnecessary spending to protect future generations from the
mounting federal debt.
6 – FIGHTING GLOBAL EXTREMISTS – Standing strong against radical regimes
that refuse to recognize the basic human rights of gays and lesbians, women
and religious minorities.
7 – DEFENDING OUR CONSTITUTION – Opposing any anti-gay federal marriage
amendment. Marriage should be a question for the states. A federal
constitutional amendment on marriage would be an unprecedented federal power
grab from thestates.
8 – EMPOWERING INDIVIDUALS TO DEFEND THEMSELVES – Protecting 2nd amendment
rights. The answer to stopping bias motivated crime is not the Hate Crimes
laws, instead we support empowering individuals to lawfully protect
themselves.
9 – RESPECTING STATES RIGHTS – Supporting a strong 10th Amendment that
limits the scope of the federal government and empowers states; repealing
the federal Defense of Marriage Act and return power to regulate marriage
and family law to the states.
10 – EDUCATION REFORM – The answer to the serious problem of bullying is
not more federal intervention in education. Instead, we support empowering
parents and families by supporting school choice initiatives and protecting
the right of parents to homeschool their children. | g********d
