Schwarzenegger administration employs homosexuals in high profile, influential posts

Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has been very homosexual-friendly, signing about a dozen bills promoted by the homosexual lobby. Schwarzenegger has also made numerous appointments of gays, lesbians and transgenders to important state positions, including the courts.

Schwarzenegger’s chief of staff, Susan Kennedy, was the former executive director of the California Abortion Rights Action League, and is a high-profile lesbian whose partner is Vicki Marti, a women’s chemical dependency therapist. Last year Kennedy’s state salary was $131,000, plus $92,500 in salary and a $100,000 bonus from campaign funds – for a total of $323,500.

First Lady Maria Schriver’s chief of staff is Daniel Zingale, a homosexual activist from the Gray Davis administration, who along with his partner, Chuck Supple, has adopted two children into their “two-daddy” family. His state salary of $123,000 last year was supplemented with a $50,000 campaign bonus, for a total compensation of $173,000.

Gov. Schwarzenegger’s personal assistant, Clay Russell, whom the governor addresses by the pet name “Clayrini,” also has a “partner-in-life.” Last year, “Clayrini” received about $85,000 from taxpayers, plus a $28,000 salary and a $48,000 bonus from campaign funds, all totaling about $161,000.
