Jeb Bush hires (another) anti-gay activist as senior adviser
from Pink News:
____The Republican, who is generally seen as one of the more moderate contenders, made a surprising appointment this week when he hired right-wing activist Jordan Sekulow (chair of the Christian Broadcast Network) to his Political Action Committee – often seen as a precursor to a formal campaign.
Mr Sekulow was the executive director of the ultra-conservative American Center for Law and Justice – named in 2013 as one of the “four worst anti-gay villains” in the world by Human Rights Watch, for its role in lobbying for anti-gay laws.
With the ACLJ, Mr Sekulow lobbied a number of countries to keep homophobic laws in place, encouraging governments in Africa to make sure gay sex remained illegal. The ACLJ is known to have had influence in a number of countries with anti-gay laws, including Kenya and Zimbabwe.
The activist has also described homosexuality as an “abomination”, “unnatural”, “indecent” and “a perversion.”
It comes just weeks after Mr Bush hired an openly gay senior adviser, Tim Miller, to the same PAC.
