"The gay thing is tired! Get a life. The cool cities application that the city submitted says NOTHING about gays. I've Read it. Have you? The single statement in the "cool cites" site is a statement of fact, supported by the likes of Richard Florida in his book "The Rise of the Creative Class." It doesn't suggest that this or any city should have a program of Gay recruitment. The point is weird."

Thank God this website has finally dedicated an informational button to the Cool Cities program. It appears that Marcus is wrong or lying about yet another issue. On top of the Cool Cities own admission in their criteria that the number of openly gay residents is a factor in getting the grant, there is also an informative article on the cool cities link here. I offer the following links as even more proof that Marcus is misleading the people when he says there is no gay agenda in the cool cities program:

These are a very small sampling of what’s out there, and fairly self-explanatory, considering the sources. I have a BIG problem with the mayor secretly furthering this agenda, and then effectively denying it by not correcting his mouthpiece on this website. Then there was the Daily News story where Marquart also alluded that these gay agenda rumors are false. I think it's linked somewhere in the forum archives.

There are stories almost too numerous to mention on the internet that address the gay agenda of cool cities - and a significant portion of them are gay & lesbian websites. Take a look; it will surely open your eyes.
