I sent my comment. Paraphrased: I urged the Mayor to refrain from appointing de Jesus because of his stated issues with gays. There is no place for bigotry in a public office. There are more qualified Chicagoans of Puerto Rican heritage who can be appointed to that aldermanic seat. If you indicate that you will not represent ALL of your constituents, then you have no right to represent that ward.

as a pastor once said on TV, you cannot be both a pastor and a politician. Religion and politics are “like oil and water”. They don’t mix well and should not try.

I am so happy to be living in Will county not Crook – I mean Cook county. Daley is an arrogant blowhard who’s only refrain seems to be – “I didn’t know about all this corruption, I am just the Mayor”…..

I agree with Randy – “What is the head of a megachurch doing on any city council? It’s one thing to be a member, but to actually be head of a church should bar you from political office at the same time.”

Do not cater to religous bigots!!!!!

As a resident of Chicago living in the land of ignorant, “Irish” and “Italian” (you’re not Irish or Italian just because 200 years ago some relation came over here on a boat) trashy Catholics who have 10 kids, an alcoholic dad, and a mom who has two crappy jobs- which is run by the most corrupt people you could find outside of Bush and his lackeys- I am not surprised. I mean, come on. Just look at our Police.

Can we find anyone within the Daley family whom we can out as a homosexual?

Perhaps it’s time to get that person in DC who has been outing politicians involved.

Or perhaps get the HRC to start outing conservative gays who work against us?

I can’t believe that Mayor Daley couldn’t
find someone better than this mutt.

My partner and I visit Chicago 5-9 times a year. We normally stay in the Boystown area. I was there during the last Gay Games and Mayor Daley was there in full surport. Wheather that is because he want to have the 2016 Games there is in question. But he did not seem homphobic at all. It surprise me that he would appoint anyone that holds a bias towards anyone. Shame on Daley for giving power to anyone that would hate.
