Withers: NH pol recants her lies

Here is the thing that bothers me about fundies. I have no issue if they get all leery about gays and lesbians (I have the same feeling about Yankee fans); however, they must give up their penchant for creative talking on gay topics.

Take New Hampshire state Rep. Nancy Elliott. Last week when the Judiciary Committee was looking at a bill that would repeal the state’s same sex marriage law (Granite State pols put the kibosh on those efforts), Elliott said two things. She claimed fifth graders were being taught how to get their sex on, and described anal sex in a way that made it clear she had no idea what she was yapping about.

Elliott had to recant her charge yesterday.

“I would like to apologize to the Judiciary Committee, the Nashua public schools and its employees and the speaker as well as anyone else affected by what I said,’’ Elliott said in a prepared statement “I will try much harder in the future to verify fully my statement.”

Oh wait, it gets better. Lying girl said this sex primer was going on in Nashua’s public schools. Do you think she picked up the phone and called the school district? What about calling the cops? Do you even need an answer?

And while we are on the topic on people who are forgetful with the truth, Maggie Gallagher and Andrew Sullivan went at it yesterday at a Cato Institute panel. Gallagher said her organization, the National Organization for Marriage, had out gay members working for it. When Sullivan pressed for their names, she clammed up. Gays and lesbians working for NOM?! Really!? Ms. Gallagher here is a challenge. 365Gay wants to interview these folk. Give us a call and lets set it up.
