Our state senator and the House Majority Leader were apparently getting important information from the most active anti-gay organization in the state (if they do anything else, I've missed those news stories) at Stonewall. Boggs is well-known as an ally of theirs, and Oliverio of course often leans right, though I'm not aware of him being quite as close to Jeremy Dys and his backers. Though that said, if the following is as critical as Oliverio is willing to be of Dys, it doesn't bode well.
The group generated several controversies earlier this year. In February, it ran an Internet ad that got national attention by comparing people who support gay marriage to snipers targeting families. Both Boggs and Oliverio said they didn't know about it. "They probably crossed the line in that regard," Oliverio said when the ad was described to him.
"Probably"? So maybe they didn't? Nice, revolting pandering there Sen. Oliverio.
