\u2014Falsely claimed<\/a> that the police who raided the Stonewall Inn in 1969 were attempting to \u201crescue a young boy who identified as transgender.\u201d On a radio show about the \u201cmenace\u201d of Pride, she added that, \u201cHe was being used sexually and the police were trying to rescue him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014On the anniversary of the Obergefell<\/em> decision, declared that the ruling was unlawfu<\/a>l: \u201cThe Supreme Court does not have the right to redefine marriage\u2026. And to use the 14th Amendment to do so is laughable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> of Hershey Park\u2019s support for trans bathroom access: \u201cMilton Hershey is rolling over in his grave at the idea that the park he founded as a leisure park for the employees of the Hershey Chocolate Company is now allowing men in the women\u2019s restroom. It is insulting to force biological women and girls to share the bathroom facilities with biological men, no matter who they think they are!!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insisted<\/a>: \u201cTo allow anyone to live out the lie that he or she is born homosexual or transgender is not compassion, but the furtherance of an agenda driven by the desired goal of forced acceptance on all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> of LGBTQ equality: \u201cIt is becoming increasingly evident that adults seeking to force society to embrace their deviant lifestyle are willing to use vulnerable children to attain their goal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Directly compared homosexuality to \u201clying, cheating, stealing, murder.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014Said of a Gay Straight Alliance at a local high schoo<\/a>l: \u201cPromoting a \u2018smoking club\u2019 would be safer than promoting a \u2018homosexual club.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014When a local amusement park held a Pride event, Gramley asked<\/a>: \u201cWhat group will Knoebels Grove have at their park next year\u2014the North American Man Boy Love Association or Playboy Bunnies? Their family-friendly reputation is tainted when they promote the homosexual lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014On many occasions, has wrongly asserted that there are as many as \u201c36 known sexual orientations from bestiality to pedophilia<\/a>.\u201d These other practices are scientifically recognized as \u201cparaphilias<\/a>,\u201d not sexual orientations.<\/p>\n

\u2014Attempted to connect Jerry Sandusky\u2019s sex abuse scandal to homosexuality<\/a>: \u201cThrough all this we cannot ignore the fact that Jerry Sandusky\u2019s victims were all young boys. We can\u2019t ignore the homosexual aspect of this\u2026. And through Graham Spanier\u2019s tenure as president, he has brought more and more homosexual-oriented programming and events to the campus than ever before.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Opposed a historical marker this way<\/a>: \u201cThe debate on homosexuality has nothing to do with civil rights, but rather [to do with] forcing the acceptance of abhorrent sexual behavior on all America…. To take one of our most cherished historical buildings and desecrate it in such a manner is unthinkable…. nd not just Pennsylvanians, but all Americans should be outraged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Wrongly asserted it to be \u201cfact\u201d that no one is born gay<\/a>; says it is dangerous to tell kids that being gay is okay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2014Responded to the Supreme Court\u2019s striking down of sodomy laws by connecting homosexuality to incest, prostitution, etc<\/a>.: \u201cWhich are next to be struck down: prostitution, bigamy, incest? What further attack will the courts have on American\u2019s families and values?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed sexual orientation protections will lead to protections for pedophiles<\/a>: \u201cChildren are currently under assault by homosexual activists as they infiltrate the schools with their \u2018gay is okay\u2019 message; now pedophiles want to be given a green light by the psychological community to have their way with children. Municipalities need to wake up to what is really happening and not play this politically correct game by adding \u2018sexual orientation\u2019 to ordinances. It will lead to more than they think they are bargaining for.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Said there was \u201cno doubt\u201d that inclusive service would \u201cdestroy our military.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
