I think you will censor this email. A brave new world we live in. Free Speech—as long as it is lefty.

Enough with the praise of this woman. Just another politician pushing her own self interests.

I am one North Carolinian who rejoiced when the late Senator passed! We do not need divisive people serving the people of this state. Thank you Julia Boseman for standing up for what you believe and for your strong leadership in this state. Had I won election in 08 I would have been right there with you!

Thank you Senator Boseman. Wow, a politician who stands for something. How often do you see that?

Julia rocks. So do those other folks who walked out, although I wish they had voted against it so it wouldn’t have passed by so huge a margin.

Raymond, granted that aide was a first-class putz, but why would it be Helms’s granddaughter’s fault that her granddad was an bigot? Loads of gay folks have bigoted or nasty relatives – no reflection on them. She deserves sympathy, I think.

Go Julia. At least she has some backbone. I’m proud to call her my Senator.

The late Senator Helms has a lesbian granddaughter, an elected judge in NC, who lives in a committed relationship openly. One of Senator Helm’s senior aides worked with him to hurt gays and lesbians, and was in a three decade committed gay relationship with three adopted kids.

Where do they find men like Helms? More importantly, where do you find his granddaughter and senior aide?
