President Obama may soon tap a homosexual activist for a high-profile government post.
John Berry, director of the Smithsonian National Zoological Park, is reportedly the frontrunner to be nominated director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). That would make Berry the highest-ranking openly homosexual official in government history. Homosexual activist groups are predicting that if nominated and confirmed, Berry would work to expand benefits for same-sex couples -- something he did while he worked in the Interior Department. Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says Berry has been flouting the spirit if not the letter of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which bars spousal recognition for same-sex couples. "First of all, looking at Mr. Berry's track record, it's obvious that he's a homosexual activist within the federal government, doing a lot of things within a Republican administration that most people never were aware of," he contends. "So, what we have is sort of a subversive -- if you could call it that -- homosexual activist, and now he's going to have an even much more visible and powerful role at OPM, which is a very powerful job in Washington. And it just shows what's going to happen under the Obama administration." Although President Obama has been an outspoken champion of civil unions and domestic-partner benefits for government employees, LaBarbera contends many people remain unaware of how radical his campaign promises were to homosexual activists.
