The Gay & Lesbian Leadership Institute launched its Presidential Appointments Project last week to recruit openly lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) professionals to serve the next president of the United States.
The organization will “identify, recruit and vet” LGBT applicants for thousands of government jobs that will be filled with political appointees.
Caleb H. Price, research analyst for Focus on the Family, said that although this group claims to be nonpartisan, its commitment to promote homosexual and transgender "voices" throughout government demonstrates otherwise.
“They know that these strategic appointments will advance their pro-gay agenda with little or no interference by elected officials in the legislative branch,” he said. “They're expecting a Democrat to win the presidency. And given the homosexual community's overwhelming financial support of the Democratic Party, they expect payback for their support.”
