Iowa Woman Arrested For Embezzling Millions – Makes Us Gays Look Bad
by SAB on Sep.29, 2009, under Iowa, News
An employee at insurance mega-corp Aviva in Iowa has apparently been embezzling millions of dollars over the last few years. It’s the biggest case of its kind in Iowa history according to the Des Moines Register, but that wasn’t what caught my eye when I read the story. Phyllis Stevens, the employee involved, has a female spouse and claims to be head of Marriage Equality USA’s Iowa division.
F-ing fantastic.
The last thing the gay movement needs are its leaders embezzling money and looking untrustworthy. I literally rolled my eyes when I read it… and I can only imagine what conservatives in the state, and possibly even national scene, will make of it. When you read the story’s comment section at the Register you’ll get a good preview of what biggots out there have to think about it:
"The person commenting that the moral fiber of our country is coming apart at the seams is totally right on! Who can spell ACORN? This is ALL the result of throwing (by means of the courts) Godly Virtues out of the window. Whether or not you believe in God is of no matter when it comes to following Natural Law and until enough people in this country realize that we are headed down a path of moral destruction, these types of stories will become everyday occurrences. Fifty years ago, who would have thought we would have had homosexual marriage? Progress, I think not, just more evidence of the decay inherent in us when we don’t consult God!"

After all, straight married people don’t commit crimes… Sigh.
