So Ramey Johnson subscribes to the traditional GOP position on gay politicians. Stay in the closet until you are busted in flagrante dilecto hitting on an undercover cop in an airport restroom.
Make lavatory sex great again!
"…Race Takes Turn For The Nasty" More accurately that should read, "Candidate Ramey Johnson Takes Turn For The Nasty." A race implies two people but only one of them in this race appears to be using inaccurate, misleading and offensive statements.
I attend the Ward 1 monthly meetings… maybe others should! This was a handout and there was NO discussion as Ramey and Charley Able weren't able to get through the full agenda since the entire meeting was spent talking about zoning and planning.
In Ramey's defense, she doesn't run as a Republican as these council positions are non-partisan. She is probably the most moderate Republican I've know. I'm a non-affiliated voter. I've known Ramey for 20 years working with her when she was a lonely clerk in the State House. Her own party went against her because she's pro-choice. She's for Lakewood and she's a great check against a runaway council on reasonable growth. Being a native to Lakewood, she's a great advocate for the long time residents of this community.
Ramey Johnson handed this out. Did she not read it before handing it out? Did she read it and think, "Oh, that's OK!"?
The simplest explanation is that Johnson handed this out, knowing full well that she was "gay-shaming" Kellen, and, by implication, Kara DeGruy. Spin all you want…..it's pretty clear what happened.
It smacks of Ron Paul's attempts to deny knowledge of the voluminous racist piggery published in newsletters published under his name.
Another comment… Ward 1 is rich in diversity and Ramey is NOT anti-LGBTQ. Again, attend meetings. Several attendees are gay. If there's any prejudice, it's not evident as she fights for all of us.
Interesting thoughts DaveyV. I happen to live in Ward 4, but have never heard this sort of stuff about Ramey Johnson while she's been on Council. Maybe the other posters don't live in our city.
As Ramey's campaign manager I guarantee that was not researched, produced or paid for by her campaign. I had no knowledge of that until the citizen showed up with it. Ramey does not have any PAC's that would have produced it either. That was someone that did her own research since there have been so many questions about where Kyra's support was coming from (not the citizens of Ward One).
It is unfortunate that the writer regarded former Councilor Kellen focus now as "nasty". I happen to commend her for her work with the LGBTQ community. I am sure Ms. Kellen may take offence at your characterization of what she does. That is not a smear, and shame on you for calling it that.
