Mrs. Perricone, indulging herself in her own idea of what constitutes political acumen, manufactured so-called "prerequisites" for being a Democrat, including believing "the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding," "gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural," and "homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected." Sean Kosofsky, director of policy for the Triangle Foundation, called Mrs. Perricone's e-mail "offensive and irresponsible." Kosofsky charged:
The Republican politician told reporters: "Once my wife realized the nature of the e-mail she had received, she immediately apologized to all concerned. She feels badly about this." "My wife did not create or ask for this trash. She regrets the fact it was forwarded with other information, especially since this e-mail tree has corresponded for several years," he stated. Chuck Perricone then turned his political guns on the Triangle Foudation, Michigan's most successful and active gay rights organization: "It is tragic that a group that pleads for tolerance and understanding would so viciously attack a loving family," he said. "This incident is regrettable; the use of this incident for political gain at the expense of my entire family is shameful." |
