Jon Ponder | Nov. 15, 2008
Frank Schubert is the president of Schubert-Flint Public Affairs, the political shop hired to manage the campaign to revoke the right of gay people to marry in California.
Under Schubert’s direction, California voters were bombarded with false advertising, including an ad that purported that if Prop 8 failed, children would be forced to learn about gay marriage, kindergartners would be taught sex ed and churches would lose their right to free speech.
Other than deep and abiding bigotry, it’s hard to imagine what would motivate someone to foment such hatred toward a minority group. And yet, in an interview with the New York Times, Schubert revealed that he has a gay sister:
For his part, Mr. Schubert said he is neither anti-gay — his sister is a lesbian — nor happy that some same-sex couples’ marriages are now in question. But, he said, he has no regrets about his campaign.
So he did it for the money? In any case, Thanksgiving should be interesting for the Schubert family.
