Last week it it was reported that Seattle City Councilmember Tim Burgess, who formerly provided consultanting for the anti-gay group Concerned Women of America, is considering a run at for Seattle Mayor against the two-term incumbent Greg Nickels. Here is that article from last week.
During his consulting company’s reported ten years of work for the CWA the organization spouted off fundraising letters proclaiming that…
…ENDA was a blatant attempt to destroy our society’s moral foundations. This bill would have forced Christian businessmen and women and other decent Americans to hire homosexuals and those with a variety of ‘sexual orientations,’ including transvestites and pedophiles.
Before running for citywide office Burgess claimed to have come to terms and now supports same-sex marriage. While Burgess has not decided yet if he will run for Mayor, it is becoming evident that no matter what, this race should get very interesting by the primary election this summer.
