Firth, who is straight, is president of her
college’s LGBT and Democratic student
groups. She jumped at the opportunity to go
to the caucus with ImGay.tv.
“It’s kind of concerning to me, that we
weren’t turned down by anyone at the
Obama campaign,” Firth continued, “but
then coming here to see Bill Clinton, there
were many more people who didn’t want to
see us here.”
Writing in his blog on the ImGay.tv web
site, Freincle said, “We found the red reason
for our problems! The next few attempts were
met widi negative responses to our being from
a gay website. It seems Hillary and Bill sup
porters are not welcoming to gay people,
which I find intriguing.”
In a video interview with “power women”
Clinton supporters, ImGay.tv staff asked
Elizabeth Birch, former Human Rights
Campaign executive director, why she sup
ported Clinton when the senator does not sup
port marriage for same-sex couples.
“Every viable candidate for the presiden
cy is not for marriage being extended to gay
couples,” Birch explained, “I want civil mar
riage to be extended to gay people over the
years. Matrimonial law has always been at
the state level. It would be highly unusual for
any president to wave a magic wand and say
we’d extend marriage to anyone at the feder
al level, but what Clinton can do is give us
the same rights and responsibilities of mar
ried couples.
“I think that Hillary Clinton will be clever
enough and smart enough to be able to fash
ion something that can create a bundle of
rights for us at the federal level. I trust Clinton
to have an honest and intellectual debate.”
The ImGay.tv staff plans to continue cover
ing the primaries using video interviews,
vlogs and blogs to spotlight the issues LGBT
Americans consider important this election
season. They encourage individuals to submit
video questions for candidates and post their
own videos related to the primaries and the
presidential race.
When all was said and done. Sen Barack
Obama topped out over Sens. John Edwards
and Hillary Clinton. Obama received 38 per
cent of the Democratic Iowa Caucuses, while
Edwards garnered 30 percent and Clinton
come in third with 29 percent. I

stating that Ernest might expose them to his
“homosexual paramour.”
Bonnoitt said the stipulation was an
“unusual restriction ... based on the
Husband’s self-indulgent and deviant lifestyle”
but “necessary to protect the morality of the
children.”
He added, “The Husband chose an inap
propriate relationship over his marriage. He
admitted that he xmdertook a covenant with
his wife and with a higher power which was
broken. Based on his willingness to break this
covenant and pursue an addterous relation
ship ... his visitation should be confined to
the State of South Carolina to protect the best
interest of the minor children.”
Bonnoitt further stated that keeping Ernest
in-state during visitation would encourage
him to remain within the orders of the court
and that Ernest would be “less likely to be dis
tracted by the pursuit of his other relation
ship, and as a result, the children are more
likely to receive quahty time with their father.”
If the children were taken to Florida,
Bonnoitt concluded, Ernest would be “more
likely to expose the children to a harmful situ
ation including exposure to his paramour who
lives out of state.”
The appellate court disagreed.“[Bonnoitt]
improperly imposed a travel restriction on
Husband’s visitation with his children,” they
held. “Absent any evidence that Husband’s
adulterous conduct endangered or adversely
impacted the welfare of his children, we hold
the judge impermissibly penalized Husband
for his conduct and that it is not in the best
interests of the children to uphold the travel
restriction.”!
Florida marriage battle

northern Florida truly are.
The key to winning this fight is enlisting the
help of Republican Gov. Charlie Crist. He should
be encouraged to follow the example of Ronald
Reagan, who as governor of California in 1979
came out against a ballot initiative that would
ban gay schoolteachers. With his support, the
anti-gay initiative went down in flames.
So far, Crist has been unpredictable. In
July, he said he would “probably vote for it,”
yet, he instructed the Republican Party to stop
funding the effort.
“There are things that give me greater con
cernTike cutting property taxes and paying
school teachers more,” said Crist.
Crist left wiggle room by saying “probably”
and clearly offered his rationale for possibly
opposing the measure. Florida Red and Blue
has wisely formed a bipartisan coafition and
the Republicans involved in this effort should
strongly lobby Crist. If our side can place Crist
in the shoes of Reagan — every Republican’s
dream — it can likely win him over.
Florida is a must-win state that will not
only help determine who is president, but the
future of marriage battles in America. Expect
another hot November in the Sunshine State.!
— Editor’s Note: According to a Dec. 16 Palm
Beach Post article on the Florida amendment,
Gov. Crist said the issue not one he wants to
push. He told the paper, “It’s is not something
that moves me."
