POLITICS: RNC removes anti-gay page from website!

The Republican National Committee has removed from its website a page criticizing President Obama for the pro-LGBT advances he’s made thus far over the course of his administration.


The link to the page, which was titled “Hope Isn’t Hiring,” now redirects to the main page for the RNC’s website. According to the Human Rights Campaign, a link to the anti-gay page that was on the RNC main page now goes nowhere.
Acts in support of the LGBT community were listed among the 10 things the RNC cited on the page as “The Case Against Obama: Social Issues.” The page went online the day Obama officially declared his intent to seek re-election in 2012.

The LGBT-related items were “Despite It Being the Law of the Land, Obama Refused to Continue Defending the Defense of Marriage Act in Court,” “Obama Repealed ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ While U.S. Troops Are Still on the Battlefield” and “Obama Opposed California’s Prop 8 and Has Expanded Government Recognition of Same-Sex Couples.”

A RNC spokesperson didn’t respond to the Washington Blade’s request to comment on why the “Hope Isn’t Hiring” page is no longer active.
