(1)<br />
<br />
Bryan Adams, Springsteen and Ringo Star are decoys, the same argument could be made of many of the businesses and corporations that are also pulling out and cancelling events in these states. Adams et al., are just easy targets for the simpletons who are too lazy to operate a search engine. I think the only thing special about them is that what they say can reach a wider audience -- in the sense that celebrities tend to be put on a pedestal.<br />
<br />
I read about Adams the other night, so the fact that they’re even making these connections (with the Mid East) means they’re already listening to and believing all the anti-gay talking points that the haters want them to think -- they’ve drunk the Kool-Aid.<br />
<br />
And what if Mississippi passed Sharia law, or that women had to wear burkas, or any other law that curtailed the rights of heterosexuals? Holding hands in public maybe? Hey, it’s just religious freedom, remember? Then whose side would they be on if these celebrities spoke out? I think we know the answer to that question, so why is it ok to discriminate against LGBT people and not heterosexuals?<br />
<br />
Heterosexual-supremacism, the contraction of which is heterosupremacism, just as racism is the contraction of racial supremacism. This has nothing to do with religion and it has nothing to do with “protecting” women in bathrooms. Transgender women using the men’s room is guaranteed to cause assaults and many transgender men have beards and mustaches, are they really supposed to use the ladies room? Isn’t that exactly what they’re trying to prevent?<br />
<br />
Their goal is to portray those who are transgender as predators. Is each establishment with restrooms going to be assigned the genital police? These laws will only punish those who appear to be transgender - whether they are or not.<br />
<br />
As far as discriminating against gay Americans goes, *religious freedom* my arse. “He made them male and female” they say. Does that mean they endorse the incestuous marriages God DESIGNED for their children? Further, all of the gay bashing verses in the Bible except Romans refer only to men and therefore are not about homosexuality as women are gay too, but that doesn’t stop them from pretending otherwise. And if you hear them use Leviticus to bash gays then they endorse Leviticus including the part that endorses the genocide of gay men (Lev 20:13). Corinthians is another one - only about men. Same with Sodom and Gomorrah, 1) only about men, 2) They wanted to rape Lot’s guests because they wanted to emasculate them, 3) the hero of the story, Lot, offered up his virgin daughters to be gang raped in lieu of his guests getting raped, 4) they turned down the daughters because gang raping women in those days was an everyday occurrence - ho hum.<br />
<br />
Romans however speaks of both men and women WHO USED TO BE HETEROSEXUAL. I’ve yet to meet a gay person who “used to be” heterosexual. In denial, yes, hetero, no. Worse than that, the entire reason these men and women supposedly “turned” gay was because they rebelled against God. If that were how things worked, then every sociopath would be gay and every gay Christian would turn straight.<br />
<br />
Being gay didn’t make the list of Commandments but adultery did -- something Jesus defined as divorce and remarriage, which is a form of unrepentant adultery. (2)<br />
<br />
As supremacists, the first love of haters is pride, namely the IDOL of pride. The first commandment in the Old Testament says “Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” The first commandment given by Jesus in the New Testament is “Love God with all your heart, mind and soul.”<br />
<br />
They worship the idol of pride and love superiority with all their heart, mind and soul, breaking the First Commandment in both the OT and NT, hence, they are devoid of any and all legitimate religious standing. So anyone complaining of infringement on their religious liberties is full of it.<br />
<br />
And so what if they think being gay is a choice or that being transgender is nothing but pretend. We are American citizens and we pay taxes. Taxes that help keep those businesses in business. Our Taxes help pay for the streets, sidewalks, public transit, the police, fire departments, FEMA, a host of municipal services and the salaries of many of these people that make it even possible for them to have a businesses, and especially county clerks who provide marriage licenses. Which makes the targeted discrimination of LGBT Americans a matter of THEFT! And makes public accommodations a fundamental matter of civil rights.<br />
<br />
Those who complain about how our fight for equality is “in their face” or being “shoved down their throat” have it ass backwards. If they’d stop passing these discrimination/persecution laws, we wouldn’t need to be “in their face” about it. It’s also too bad they’re not intelligent enough to realize that fighting for gay/LGBT equality requires the use of the words “gay” and “LGBT.”<br />
<br />
As an aside, if it should come up, and I don’t particularly care for pride parades, they’re too sexed up for me, but pride used in that sense is not of the supremacist kind, is of the self-worth dignity kind and are meant to relay the message that “you’re not going to make us feel ashamed of ourselves anymore!”<br />
<br />
Understand what I’ve written before using it, otherwise they will walk all over you with their anti-gay talking points, all of which are irrelevant, in fact, get used to using the word irrelevant. It shuts down their irrelevant talking points without you having to explain why. It’s short for “It’s not up for discussion,” and you can then steer the conversation back to the reality of the situation. Again, understand it before using it, make it your own, use your own words to describe what I’ve written.<br />
<br />
I’ve been at this for over ten years so I wrote this off the top of my head and I’m sure there’s still some holes in it so let me know. And if you hear any horror stories about poor innocent bakers or others put out of business because of the evil gays and their “godless agenda”, assume it’s a lie and Google it.<br />
<br />
Don’t memorize what I’ve written, memorize the meaning.<br />

This is old news by now but it’s new to me, I hadn’t yet seen him <a href="http://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2015/06/28/sotu-tapper-trump-is-for-traditional-marriage.cnn" target="_blank">confronted with the question yet</a>.<br />
<br />
Donald Trump has said on more than one occasion that his "favorite" book is the Bible. He has been married three times, that’s twice remarried. Here’s how his “favorite” book defines remarriage:<br />
<br />
-Mark 10:11 -- Jesus: "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her."<br />
-Luke 16:18 -- Jesus: "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery"<br />
-Matthew 19:9 -- Jesus: "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."<br />
---<br />
For the record, “traditional marriage” is code speak for straight love being superior to gay love. CNN interview on June 28, 2015:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
JAKE TAPPER Let’s talk about same-sex marriage. You said a few years ago that you were evolving on the issue, where are you?<br />HETEROSUPREMACIST UNREPENTANT ADULTERER DONALD TRUMP (according to his own beliefs): I’m for traditional marriage, it is changing rapidly.<br />TAPPER: But what do you say to a lesbian who’s married or a gay man who’s married who says ‘Donald Trump, what’s traditional about being married three times?’<br />TRUMP: Well, they have a very good point, but you know, I’ve been a very hard working person, actually I have a great marriage, I have a great wife now and my two wives were very good and I don’t blame them, but I was working twenty two hours a day…<br />TAPPER: I’m not asking you to explain your divorces.<br />TRUMP: I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me…<br />TAPPER: But what do you say to a lesbian or a gay man who are married?<br />TRUMP: I really don’t say anything, I’m just for traditional marriage.</blockquote>
As with presidential candidate Ben Carson, they say his appeal is that he is not part of the political process, but I don’t believe for a second that the Bible is his “favorite” Book, nor do I think he really cares whether gay couples can legally wed or not (he must have gay friends), but he has demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s a misogynist and a racist (“Mexicans are rapists and murderers). It is my belief that he’s just playing to the amoral base of the Republican party, but we can now add heterosupremacist to his list of themed hate speech.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15741631418494590847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812883393114451591.post-17421178900617685552015-09-13T02:12:00.000-04:002015-09-13T11:26:50.895-04:00So then would straight marriage be ‘sarriage’?<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

A few days ago I said this, somewhere:<br />
<br />
“Free Will -- You have an infinite number of thoughts to choose from. ”<br />
<br />
Today I relay this:<br />
---<br />
<i>Free Will Is Fantasy</i>
<br />
<br />
Within time-space, the very constraints thereof preclude and such theory. At physical birth, we are bound not only by our previous experience, whatever it may be, but by the genetic structure of the physical body we inhabit. From that point on, we have no choice but to be bonded into the flesh for that lifetime, long or short. We are bound to maintain and operate our physical bodies within the limitation they impose. The set and setting of our physical existence is controlled, initially at least, by others. What remains, colored and modified as it is, might be considered free will.
<br />
<br />
Exercising this upon another only increases the [karmic] load. Off-loading is accomplished by maximizing this remainder in nonphysical areas and accepting without emotion the limitations so imposed.

Here’s a couple snippets followed by my always and ever special commentary.
<br><br>
<a href="http://www.goodasyou.org/good_as_you/2014/08/afas-daily-prayer-equates-homosexuality-with-incest-bestiality-pedophilia.html">AFA's daily prayer equates homosexuality with incest, bestiality, pedophilia</a>:
<blockquote>We know that much sexual sin has been committed in our community and nation. We repent of all acts of incest, adultery, homosexuality, pedophilia, and bestiality. We acknowledge that such things are detestable to you, and that they are perversions of your intentions for us. We acknowledge that we profane your name and only defile ourselves through our sexual sin.</blockquote>

<blockquote><b><a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/randy-thomasson-claims-lgbt-inclusive-schools-make-students-enemies-god?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#sthash.hhZsusTy.dpuf">Right Wing Watch</a>:</b> [Randy] Thomasson said that students and families have become the victims of a “perverse, unnatural, unbiblical, unhealthy, tyrannical sexual agenda” advanced by the state government and LGBT rights advocates who seek to eliminate free speech and religious liberties.</blockquote>
~~~ ~~~ ~~~<br><br>
They don’t even believe in the Bible.
<br><br>
First of all, nowhere in the Bible is homosexuality condemned. All of the so called gay-bashing Bible verses refer to males exclusively, except for Romans:
<blockquote><b><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+1%3A26-32&version=NIV">Romans 1:26</a></b> Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.</blockquote>
People who are born gay, like me, never “exchanged” our orientation, so it’s not referring to gay people.
But the haters cling to verses like that so they can continue justifying their anti-gay bashing as a “deeply held religious belief.”
If you click on that link, though, read a few sentences down and you’ll get an ultra-accurate description of these christian haters.
Second, God’s “original design” for family included incest -- as per Adam and Eve’s children being “fruitful and multiplying.”
<br><br>
Third, God explicitly <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Samuel+12%3A8-12&version=NIV">approves of polygamy</a>.
<blockquote><b>God:</b> <I>I gave your master’s house to you, and your master’s wive<b><I>s</I></b> into your arms. … I will take your wive<b><I>s</I></b> and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wive<b><I>s</I></b> in broad daylight.</I></blockquote>
Fourth, Jesus <b>clearly</b> defined <b><i>divorce and remarriage</I></b> as adultery:
<br><br>
<blockquote><a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+10%3A11-12&version=NIV"><b>Mark 10:11-12</a>:</b> He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”</blockquote>
Of course, that kind of adultery is welcomed with open arms by these faux-faith anti-gay cherry-picking cafeteria-christians.
It makes their crocodile cries of “religious persecution” all the more irrational -- you can’t be persecuted for something you don’t believe in in the first place.

<strong>Transcript:</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>Rep. Brad Sherman:</b> We’re told that if we want the government to stay open for just another five or seventy-five days, we should torpedo the Affordable Care Act [“Obamacare”].Then, what happens in November or December? Are we told that to keep the government open any further we have to strip-mine YellowStone? We have to abolish Medicare? </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;">The fact is, it is wrong to take hostages, it is wrong to say that the government will shut down if that is the only way you can achieve your legislative objectives. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;">What would the country think of us if we said we were going to shut down the government unless we get gay rights, gun control, cap and trade, immigration reform? </span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;">Or what would the country think of us if we said, “Gay rights, but only for one year -- keep the government open for one year, get gay-rights for one year.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;"><span style="color: #660000;">Taking hostages is wrong. Holding hostage, the greatest country in the world is wrong.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">But his heart was in the right place, and all, right?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Which begs the question, How in the universe would God even take the victimhood complaints of blasphemers seriously?)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"></span><br />
<strong>PFOX</strong> stands for Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays and is an anti-gay counter group to PFLAG, Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays.
(<a href="http://pfox-exgays.blogspot.com/2013/09/does-ex-gay-community-need-civil-rights.html" target="_blank">Gee, PFOX, I don't know, do you think that "ex-sinners" are being deprived of their civil rights?)</a>
Granted, this one paragraph alone is autopsy-worthy, just check the last part of it out:
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">In August alone, the ex-gay community has been the victim of a number of injustices by high-ranking officials. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed a bill into law that outlaws therapy for children who wish to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions, some of whom developed such attractions in the wake of sexual abuse at the hands of homosexual predators. Also, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld California’s law banning therapy for minors who wish to go from gay to straight, despite</span> <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/resources/slides/msm/slides/MSM_2010.pdf?utm_source=Copy+of+Media+Advisory&utm_campaign=September+Ex-Gay+Awareness+Month+Fights+Marginalization+and+Discrimination+&utm_medium=email">statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showing an increase in HIV infections by MSM</a> <span style="color: #660000;">(men who have sex with men) aged 13-24.</span></blockquote>
I believe the hyperlink was placed and worded very carefully in the original article. It’s a CDC PDF and it is true, according to the GRAPH on page 7 you will find that the largest HIV increases are occurring in the 13-24 year old age range.
<br />
<br />
Read it on the original article and -- correct me if I’m wrong -- does it not read like they’re insinuating that the Court dismisses evidence of a connection between same-sex attraction -- in and of itself -- raping kids, turning them gay and giving them AIDS?

<em>---</em><br />
<em></em><span lang="EN">It's a pro-gay watchdog site that found a PDF on an anti-gay site listing: <strong>"77 Non-Religious Reasons to Support Man/Woman Marriage"</strong></span><span lang="EN"></span><br />
<br />
The author then lists all the reasons, but instead of refuting them, out of sarcasm I began to add more:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Reasons # 78 and 79.</strong>From p22 of the book “Marriage On Trial” by Glenn Stanton and Bill Maier (two Focus on the Family hacks):</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#78: <i>"Wives help men channel their sexual energy in socially acceptable and nonpredatory ways."</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#79: <i>"Husbands help protect women from the exploitation of other males."</i> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">--
Because, as we all know, ALL women "put out" for their husbands as much as, and in every way he wants, all the time. And NO husbands are womanizers or adulterers who ever feel the need to </span><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/06/24/south.carolina.governor/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #660000;">hike the appalachian trail</span></a><span style="color: #660000;">.</span></blockquote>
<strong>Then further down I said:</strong>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Reasons # 80 - 87</strong>From the same book quoted earlier, </span><a href="http://narth.com/docs/ontrial.html" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #660000;">Marriage on Trial</span></a><span style="color: #660000;">, pages 60 - 63</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#81: <i>"Does the father pay for his daughter’s lesbian wedding?" </i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#82: <i>"Does the father walk her down the aisle?"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#83: <i>"Do you attend the wedding shower?"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#84: <i>"What about the baby showers that could follow?"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#85: <i>"What kind of discussion develops when some coworkers want to share in buying a wedding present for their colleague and some don’t?"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#86: <i>"Will in-laws really be able to celebrate the coming together of two families via the "marriage" of two guys or gals…"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">How insensitive of the wedding couple to not put the "ick"/"I hate gays" factor in front of their own! As the book says:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #660000;">"This will not bring us closer together but rather drive us further apart."</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">And my <b>all time favorite:</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">#87: <i>"It would alienate … "married" gays from gays who don’t want marriage…"</i></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Priceless.</span></blockquote>
<strong>To which an "anonymous" commenter countered:</strong>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">Patrick</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">you have to be honest here</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">gays have based their lives on breaking down a traditional taboo</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">why then are they so concerned with another tradition: marriage?</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">oh, you can talk about all the financial benefits, but even as "civil unions" rose, they still kept pushing for the title of "marriage"</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">but, really, few gays ever really wanted to be married</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">its just a stepping stone to normalization so homosexuality will be advanced in public schools, through sex ed classes which portray this deviancy as just another part of a big beautiful rainbow</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">you know, the part where public exhibitionism, sado-masochism, random promiscuity and incurably fatal sexual diseases are the norm</span></blockquote>
<strong>To which I replied:</strong>
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;"><em>"Patrick … you have to be honest here … gays have based their lives on breaking down a traditional taboo"</em> </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<em></em><span style="color: #660000;">More accurately, the social "tradition" of defining same-gender attraction as "taboo."</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #660000;">"why then are they so concerned with another tradition: marriage?"</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You mean like the "tradition" of arranged marriages and underage marriages and racially homogeneous marriages? </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">For as long as there have been committed gay relationships there has been gay marriage, it just hasn’t been socially recognized and respected as such.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">What you really mean is your personal et al., definition of marriage as being between a male and a female. The misnomer, "traditional marriage," is disingenuous enough, but what lies beyond that is the insidious implication that <i><b>only</b></i> male/female <b>union</b> is possible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Marriage = union = love, ergo, marriage is a euphemism for love, thus the need to put marriage in quotes. It’s a surreptitious way of saying that you consider the love between two people of the same gender to be inferior to your own to the point that comparing it to bestiality makes sense to you. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Which answers your next point as to your perception that we’re simply pushing for a "title" as opposed to equal protection under the law.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #660000;">"but, really, few gays ever really wanted to be married"</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">There’s 18,000 gay couples who were married in CA in the few months it was legal who would beg to differ.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<i><span style="color: #660000;">"its just a stepping stone to normalization so homosexuality will be advanced in public schools, through sex ed classes which portray this deviancy as just another part of a big beautiful rainbow … you know, the part where public exhibitionism, sado-masochism, random promiscuity and incurably fatal sexual diseases are the norm"</span></i><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Not just sex-ed classes or just in public schools, but everywhere, to help minimize the devastating effects of your obsessive, vindictive and malicious attempts to smear LGBT Americans -- of all ages -- as sexually promiscuous disease spreading perverts in order to convince us and the rest of society that we deserve all the rights and respect reserved for fecal matter.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">I understand and can accept that you don’t believe our love for each other is equal to your own. What I object to is the virtually ubiquitous cowardice shown by your incessant use of euphemisms to hide that fact, and your demonic LUST to malign our very humanity with scurrilous invectives in the name of "Christianity" and "morality," and yet you have the temerity to suggest that <i><b>I’m</b></i> the one who’s not being honest? </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Take off your human masks and show yourselves for the shame feasting monsters that you are.</span></blockquote>

---<br />
And then goes on to bash gay activists as scheming
thugs.<br />
<br />
–<br />
<br />
Anti-gay/exgay therapist, <a href="http://www.comingoutloved.com/meet-christopher-doyle" jquery183019586157359459194="36" target="_blank">Christopher Doyle</a> of The International
Healing Foundation, recently penned an <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/the-ex-gay-problem-you-can-never-leave-90832/" jquery183019586157359459194="38" target="_blank">op-ed in the Christian
post</a>.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">These feelings [same-sex attractions (SSA)] are the result of many factors,
mostly environmental and familial, mixed-in with one <strong>genetic
factor</strong>, a sensitive temperament. [emphasis added]</span></blockquote>
<br />
Anti-gay/ex-gay activists often claim “there’s no gay gene” to support their
“not born gay” meme. For Christopher Doyle, sensitivity and empathy are not
only the cause of homosexuality, but a genetically-based one at that.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">In twenty-three years, we have found that 99 percent of our clients who
experience homosexual feelings have very sensitive temperaments. … This is what
I believe to be the foundation for the development of SSA…</span></blockquote>
<br />
Using that logic, teaching them how to be heartless monsters would cause them
to experience heterosexual feelings.<br />
<br />
And that’s the end of that theory, let the bashing begin…<br />
<br />
He continues with the clichéd assertion that we equality-agenda driven,
pro-gay activists are all mindlessly following Kirk and Madsen’s “homosexual
manifesto,” <i>After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of
Gays</i> <i>in the 90s</i>. (You know, the one we all carry around in our back
pockets.)<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">This landmark book blueprinted how to indoctrinate the public into the
innate-immutability myth of homosexuality – that people are born this way and
cannot change. … Their biggest problem, however, in achieving all their goals,
is the advent of the former homosexual, or ex-gay. Because if homosexuals can
change, the whole foundation of ‘born this way’ tumbles like a stack of
cards.</span></blockquote>
<br />
We and our “powerful” influence wielding organizations …ignore, defame, or
disqualify [gay to straight] research <strong>for some reason</strong>.” Because
it is “…biased, or fatally flawed <strong>for whatever reason</strong>.”
[emphasis added]<br />
<br />
He then goes on to tout a <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/12/gay-parents-study-kids-social-scientists_n_1589177.html" jquery183019586157359459194="40" target="_blank">thoroughy debunked
anti-gay-parenting study</a> to make his point.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
~~~</div>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">The second tactic is to paint SSA persons who seek sexual orientation change
as victims by their counselors.</span></blockquote>
<br />
So, life-maimed survivors of “ex-gay” therapy, like some at <a href="http://www.beyondexgay.com/" jquery183019586157359459194="42" target="_blank">Beyond Ex-Gay</a> and a myriad of those
elsewhere are no more than pawns in our political ploy to undermine the ex-gay
movement?<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">They are now recruiting clients who are unable to achieve sexual orientation
change to sue their former therapists in the name of consumer
fraud…</span></blockquote>
<br />
Unable to change, you say?<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">
</span><span style="color: #660000;">The third and final method is to attack former homosexuals who have come
public with their stories of change.</span></blockquote>
<br />
That “attack” is well deserved when so-called “ex-gay” persons like, Mr.
Doyle, use the word “change,” ambiguously, to imply that euphemisms like
“ex-gay,” “formerly homosexual” and “post-gay” mean the equivalent of
heterosexual.<br />
<br />
His marriage, children and not having “relapsed in eight and a half years” in
no way prove or even indicate that same-sex orientation can be “changed” —
across the board — to an opposite-sex orientation.<br />
<br />
Further, There are PLENTY of gays and lesbians who are married with children
who have never had sex or a relationship with a member of the same gender.<br />
<br />
___<br />
<br />
You can read his delusional perception that the Southern Poverty Law
Center (SPLC) is waging a “hate campaign” on the ex-gay counter-movement <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/southern-poverty-law-centers-hate-campaign-against-ex-gays-90006/" jquery183019586157359459194="44" target="_blank">here</a>, and Wayne Besen’s (of

<strong>Transcript:</strong></div>
<br />
Alan Chambers, President of Exodus International:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">Each week we get a number of important questions that come into our office. This week, the important question we decided to answer is, does Exodus International have a policy on gay marriage? And the answer is, no, we don’t.</span><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;">[<em>Quite</em> the</span> </strong><a data-mce-href="http://wayback.archive-it.org/2778/20110803214625/http://exodusinternational.org/2009/12/same-sex-marriage/" href="http://wayback.archive-it.org/2778/20110803214625/http://exodusinternational.org/2009/12/same-sex-marriage/" target="_blank"><strong>policy position</strong></a><strong> <span style="color: black;">to no longer take.]</span></strong><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">If you’ll remember, a number of years ago, we were involved in public policy. About five years ago, we decided that that was a major distraction for us, frankly, at Exodus international, for a number of reasons.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">First and foremost, we found the amount of energy and money being spent to fight against same-sex marriage was a poor comparison to the money and the time and the energy that was being spent serving people in need. Often times we’ve said that we have an angry and bitter gay rights movement because we in the church have created it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">At Exodus International we don’t want to be a part of a stigmatizing or divisive debate. We want to be about an ongoing conversation with our neighbors. Whether our neighbors agree with us or not isn’t important, the fact of the matter is, the relationship with people is. That’s what Jesus has called us to do at Exodus International -- to be a part of a long conversation, not a raging debate.</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"> </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">I hope you as believers will follow that lead, realizing that it is more important for us to be in people’s lives. To live our faith and to share our lives with others. That’s what we’re about at Exodus International.</span></blockquote>
I sense some coded language in a few things he said there.<img alt="" class="mceWPmore mceItemNoResize" data-mce-src="http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" src="http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wordpress/img/trans.gif" title="More..." /><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #660000;">does Exodus International have a policy on gay marriage? And the answer is, no, we don’t.</span></blockquote>
</span>Sounds benign enough, until you take into consideration their past policy positions on the subject, <em>in addition to</em> the thoroughly dehumanizing contents contained in the link above.
<br />
<a data-mce-href="http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/2008/10/chambers-vote-against-marriage-equality-to-make-it-easier-for-ex-gays/" href="http://www.exgaywatch.com/wp/2008/10/chambers-vote-against-marriage-equality-to-make-it-easier-for-ex-gays/" target="_blank">Alan Chambers’ personal position</a> on California’s Proposition 8:<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">I’m so grateful that back in 1990 and 1991 that [gay marriage] wasn’t something that stood in my way in coming to Christ in the way that he had me come to him. If that had been an option for me, I certainly would have chosen it...</span></blockquote>
As an organization (from the video):<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">At Exodus International we don’t want to be a part of a stigmatizing or divisive debate. We want to be about an <strong>ongoing conversation</strong> with our neighbors. Whether our neighbors agree with us or not isn’t important, the fact of the matter is, the relationship with people is. That’s what Jesus has called us to do at Exodus International -- to be a part of a <strong>long conversation</strong>, not a raging debate.</span></blockquote>
I maybe extrapolating too much here, but an “ongoing” and “long” conversation with neighbors who may disagree with your religious beliefs on the matter of marriage equality sounds more like a manipulative end game of conversion. Leading, of course, to an opening to convince them of the sinfulness of homosexuality, and by extension, same-sex marriage.<br />
<br />
The terms “ex-gay,” “post-gay,” “formerly homosexual” etc., are in themselves an implication that one can choose to no longer have same-gender attractions, thereby upsiding the issue of same-sex marriage as being not a matter of equality, but one of irrelevance at best and a <i>threat</i> to the concept of fully and legally recognizing our love for our partners as being on par with that of heterosexual couples.<br />
<br />
And lest we forget who the true victims are in all this...<br />
<br />

<br />
Exodus may no longer publicly excoriate same-sex marriage in their rhetoric or on the current version of their website, but to me at least, it smacks of underhanded dog-whistle politics aimed at their members and supporters to continue spreading the word (just make sure to do it on the down-low).<br />
<br />
And to cap it off, for an organization that bases it’s anti-gay beliefs on the Bible, not having a position on the subject is patently unbiblical:<br />
<br />
God, via <a data-mce-href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%203:%2015-16&version=NASB" href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%203:%2015-16&version=NASB" target="_blank">Revelation 3:15-16</a><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #660000;">I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.</span></blockquote>
Personally, I don’t think Alan Chambers is that dog-whistle devious or clever, but no matter, a proclaimed non-policy on the issue opens wide a sea of nefarious interpretation for those that are.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15741631418494590847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812883393114451591.post-3878735037967293932013-02-19T18:13:00.000-05:002013-02-19T18:13:11.289-05:00"Senator Elizabeth Warren EMBARRASSES Bank Regulators At First Hearing!"<span class="yt-thumb-clip-inner"><img alt="women4truth" src="http://i2.ytimg.com/i/AfbvRtyVla7sH3YuKqWJcg/1.jpg?v=511d1f3c" width="60" /><span class="vertical-align"></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN"><em>“If you are going to out law guns,”</em><br />
<br />
-Guns designed to massacre. <br />
<br />
<em>“then why not cars, planes, knives, anything else that has taken a life.”</em><br />
<br />
-Because guns are not only made specifically to kill, but to do so in the easiest most efficient way possible.<br />
<br />
<em>“It’s not the item that kills, it’s the idiot using it.”</em><br />
<br />
-Unlike “items,” “idiocy” can’t be regulated, banned, necessarily measured, agreed upon or foretold.<br />
<br />
Further, if your argument against gun regulation is that “criminals will find a way to get their hands on them anyway,” you may as well say that if someone want’s to break into your house they’ll find a way, so why even bother lock your doors?<br />
<br />
And to take it to it’s extreme, if they’re after your guns they’ll find a them, so why bother hiding or even owning one?<br />
--<br />
Most of we tree-hugging commie pinko liberals aren’t against guns per se, but we are against idiotic arguments.</span><br />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15741631418494590847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812883393114451591.post-30789072366781867102013-01-31T06:31:00.000-05:002013-01-31T06:31:05.518-05:00Boy Scouts may Remove Ban on Gays<center>

“For more than 100 years, Scouting’s focus has been on working together to deliver the nation’s foremost youth program of character development and values-based leadership training. Scouting has always been in an ongoing dialogue with the Scouting family to determine what is in the best interest of the organization and the young people we serve.<br />
<br />
“Currently, the BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, and the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with each organization’s mission, principles, or religious beliefs. BSA members and parents would be able to choose a local unit that best meets the needs of their families.
<br />
<br />
“The policy change under discussion would allow the religious, civic, or educational organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting to determine how to address this issue. The Boy Scouts would not, under any circumstances, dictate a position to units, members, or parents. Under this proposed policy, the BSA would not require any chartered organization to act in ways inconsistent with that organization’s mission, principles, or religious beliefs.”<br />

Sexual orientation is not a “moral” issue, it’s an intrinsic part of the human condition.
However, to designate that part of the human condition to be immoral for some and not others IS immoral.
<br />
<br />
Be “morally straight,” as your oath puts it, and do the right thing on this, BSA.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15741631418494590847noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812883393114451591.post-53817625062810105302013-01-30T09:00:00.000-05:002013-01-30T09:06:29.850-05:00Gays are the biggest bullies in America<div style="text-align: left;">

In other words, and with subtext: <br />
<br />
“How dare the ‘shit-eaters’ of society even consider themselves worthy of demanding to be treated equally let alone at all levels and in all sectors of society?”<br />

It’s like a refined version of the Donnie McClurkin fiasco we went through the first time around.

<span style="color: #660000;">In reaction to the initial controversy, Obama sought to deflect charges of antigay bias by including a gay Christian representative in the tour.</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #660000;">The Presidential Inaugural Committee has selected the Rev. Luis Leon, an Episcopal priest in Washington, to deliver the benediction at President Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony on Jan. 21, replacing the Rev. Louie Giglio, the Atlanta pastor who bowed out after controversy erupted over an anti-gay sermon he gave in the mid-1990s.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<span lang="EN" style="color: #660000;">Janice Shaw Crouse, executive director of Concerned Women for America’s Beverly LaHaye Institute, wrote <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jan/15/obama-committees-slap-in-the-face-of-religious-lib/#disqus_thread" target="_blank">an op-ed for <em>The Washington Times</em></a></span><span lang="EN" style="color: #660000;"> titled, “Obama Committee’s Slap in the Face of Religious Liberty.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">… </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;">Crouse and other evangelicals routinely confuse freedom with having free rein to insult and demonize others without suffering consequences. They simply can’t comprehend that the “untouchables” they used to bully with their Bibles are no longer remaining silent and refuse to accept their inferior place in society.</span></blockquote>
