Conflicting Reports in Accusation of Executive Director of ‘Catholic Citizenship’ Assaulting Same-Sex Marriage Supporter
The Worcester Telegram & Gazette reported that “tempers boiled over” at an anti-gay marriage rally yesterday when executive director of Catholic Citizenship, Larry Cirignano, “rushed” toward a female pro-demonstrator, and “pushed her to the ground”, resulting in her head “slamming” into a sidewalk where she “laid motionless” on the ground, “crying”. It also said the womanintended to file a complaint against him.
The Boston Globe did a telephone interview with Cirignano who admitted to guiding the woman away from the event with his arm on her back. He also said he had a portfolio in his left hand and did not knock her down, nor see her fall. He told the Globe, “I promise you, I did not throw her to the ground.” The woman who was allegedly pushed said she was not injured during the alledged fall. She said she was the only one, among 20 or so gay-marriage supporters, who went into the crowd of those who supported a vote on whether or not to allow gay-marriage.
It appears as though the WT&G’s focus was more on drama than objective reporting . Maybe this whole thing is not as much about redefining marriage, as it is about homogenizing the genders into a culture of androgyny. By the way, the alleged victim, Sara Loy, who is an ACLU employee, has filed a complaint against Larry Cirignano.

Apparently if somebody is on your side, you consider it OK for that person to attack a woman physically.

No, it isn’t o.k. for a person to attack another in this case. Where did I lead you to believe I thought an alleged attack was justified?

Sounds like Vito was there. He speaks with confidence and authority of an eyewitness.
Or he could be just another left wing tool.
I have my hunch.

” … Maybe this whole thing is not as much about redefining marriage, as it is about homogenizing the genders into a culture of androgyny….”
This is exactly what it is about and the young are learning the agenda lesson very well.
An example is this statement I came upon a few years ago (have seen others similar quotes from young adults):
http://www.oneblackrose.org/amaranthine/#
on SEXUALITY
” … Sex is everywhere and has always been everywhere, in ads, shows, magazines…it is inescapable, whether you are sexually active or not. In either case there is a social pressure to have sex or NOT to, depending on your circle. Yet sex in itself is pretty simple to define, you know what kind of sex you’re having (or at least you should). But sexuality, the concept of attraction, is a whole other story.
I find myself, like many others, caught in this ambiguity. I am in a long-term relationship with a man whom I love dearly, and have never kissed a woman. However I find myself very attracted to women, and I’m almost never attracted to men (physically, that is).
My conclusion: I am a person who, if anything, is bi-, is in love, and is open to new experiences, even if they defy the label given. The nature of sexuality? A personal experience which can never be defined. …”
And this statement from the Polyamory Society:

British Psychologist
Argues For Multiple Sex Partners
July 8, 2004 - “Dr. Meg Barker, a psychology lecturer at University College Worcester, England presented a paper on open relationships at a July, 2004, meeting of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Psychology Group part of the British Psychological Society’s Psychology of Women’s Section conference in Brighton.
According to a report published July 8 on RainbowNetwork.com, a British gay web site, Dr. Barker suggests that women who have open relationships with multiple sex partners could be fostering open communication, expressions of emotions, and support networks.
Dr. Barker is a member of the Lesbian & Gay Psychology Section of the British Psychological Society and has written on the value of normalizing S&M, non-monogamy, and bisexuality. One of her most recent papers is “Revisiting Rubin: Are S/M, non-monogamy and bisexuality still in the outer limits?”
In her description of this paper, she writes that instead of “judging sexual acts according to some arbitrary line between good and bad, we consider the level of mutual consideration, coercion, and the pleasures they provide.” Barker also writes on vampires and cultural understandings of wickedness, studying Goths and Pagans and how they describe their lives. ……”

I’m a girl - just call me ‘he’
Hip New York lesbians are calling themselves boys. So could it happen here, asks Stephanie Theobald
Friday May 2, 2003
The Guardian
The extent to which the gender boat is being rocked in New York became clear last week when a female friend took me to Moby’s new vegan cafe, TeaNY, on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. TeaNY (pronounced Teeny) is very hip, and my friend wanted me to meet her equally hip new girlfriend, who works there. The girlfriend certainly was hip. Not only was she sporting the vintage pizza delivery boy look that is fashionable at the moment among downtown lesbians, but she insisted on being referred to as “he”, in spite of the fact that “he” resembled nothing so much as a cute, not even particularly androgynous, baby dyke.
QUOTE —http://www.jewishworldreview.com/cols/feder091100.asp
“Today, progressives cannot conceive of a more stinging rebuke than calling someone anti-sex. Copulation is their obsession, the focus of their existence. Nothing must be allowed to impede it — neither morals, manners nor such pragmatic considerations as social good.
All of the minor inconveniences associated with unrestrained sexual expression (out-of-wedlock births, soaring rates of venereal disease, rape, sexual abuse and the exploitation of children) are blamed, of course, on the foes of feel-good, malefactors such as myself.
If only we’d allow the distribution condoms in grade school, if only sex-ed started in kindergarten (and was taught with Sprinkle’s favorite videos), if only we’d stop making people feel guilty about barnyard behavior, we could finally achieve sexual utopia.”

Someone is bound to have videoed the event. Let’s see what the camera says.
