Tammy K. Bruce (born August 20, 1962)〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Familytreelegends.com )〕 is an American radio host, author, and political commentator. Her nationally syndicated talk show, ''The Tammy Bruce Show,'' airs live 4-6pm (M-Th) and 10am-noon (Fridays) Pacific time online via TalkStreamLive. (A podcast of the show is also available to subscribers at her website). She is an on-air contributor to Fox News Channel, and writes material for the Fox Forum blog. Bruce's website describes her as a "gay, pro-choice, gun-owning, pro-death penalty, Tea Party Independent" who "worked on a number of Democratic campaigns in 1990s, including the 1992 Boxer and Feinstein Senate races and the Clinton for President campaign" and "also has a history of supporting Republicans as well, including President Reagan, both Presidents Bush and, quite reluctantly, John McCain during the 2008 presidential campaign."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tammy Bruce: Biography )〕 In 2003, Bruce was appointed to serve on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's Transition Team after his successful recall election against Gray Davis. She holds a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Southern California and is currently a PhD candidate at Claremont Graduate University. ==Career== Bruce collaborated with Los Angeles professional women to create one of the first ad hoc independent pro-choice activist groups. The group's early feminist activism began in 1987.〔Bruce, Tammy. "The New American Revolution," Morrow, 2005.〕 This group confronted anti-abortion group protesters, and helped develop a strategy to stop "Operation Rescue" from successfully blocking the entrance to abortion clinics. During the years 1987–1990 she also participated in the Los Angeles chapter of the AIDS activist group AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT-UP).〔Bruce, Tammy. "The New Thought Police," Random House, 2001.〕 For seven years, Bruce served as president of the Los Angeles chapter of the National Organization for Women (NOW) (1990–1996). Bruce served two years on NOW's board of directors, but later criticized the organization in one of her books. During the early 1990s, she spearheaded the campaign to publicly criticize the sexualized violence in the novel ''American Psycho'', and led an effort to boycott all titles by the book's publisher, Knopf, for a year. In 1996, the NOW Executive Board voted nearly unanimously to censure Bruce for what it claimed were "racially insensitive comments" during the O.J. Simpson murder trial. In May 1996, Bruce resigned as president of Los Angeles NOW. Bruce claimed that the censure was due to her focus on domestic violence, as opposed to defense attorney Johnnie Cochran's "racial issues" trial argument.〔 Since then, Bruce has written about the dispute in her critique on what she sees as the failings of NOW, and the political left in general. She has said that the feminist establishment in the U.S. has abandoned authentic feminism. Instead, she advocates a "Feminism () that honors all responsible choices, including becoming a wife and mother."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.prageruniversity.com/Political-Science/Feminism-2-0.html )〕 In 2004, Bruce argued that gay Americans were not uniformly supportive of same-sex marriage, and that marriage should be restricted to heterosexual couples. She described civil unions as an alternative providing equal rights.〔 Bruce hosted a national radio program on Talk Radio Network through much of the 2000s. She returned to TRN in 2012 as a guest host following the cancellation of ''The Laura Ingraham Show''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tammy Bruce」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
