Pennsylvania AFA nut whining at congressmen signing diversity statements

Diane Gramley of the American Family Association (PA chapter) is having a cow over congressman in her state who signed anti-discrimination measures from HRC and GenderPAC -- and she schools us on what gender diversity means to her.

A pro-family activist in Pennsylvania is bothered that three U.S. House members from the Keystone State -- Republican Jim Gerlach and Democrats Robert Brady and Mike Doyle -- have signed the statement from GenderPAC and the Human Rights Campaign. That statement says the congressmen will not discriminate in their hiring practices based on an employee's sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. According to the two sponsoring groups, 168 members of Congress -- mostly Democrats -- have signed the statement.

Diane Gramley, president of the AFA of Pennsylvania, is disturbed that three of the representatives from her state are among the signatories. Gerlach, Brady, and Doyle, she says, are sending the wrong message to their constituents.


"I don't know that they fully comprehend what the term 'gender identity and expression' means," says Gramley, offering this definition: "That phrase right there means that they are willing to hire men dressed as women to come to work -- and I don't think a constituent going into any of these congressmen's offices would want to encounter a man dressed in a woman's clothing."
