The Hate-Filled Totalitarian Gay Lobby!

In our country the Christians do the violence, so I'm afraid this item doesn't translate across the Atlantic.

 

boy, I can't wait to read what she considers "under attack". My guess is, it's nothing at all like being actually under attack in any way

Have Christians always been this whiny, or is it a recent 20th/21st century trend?

 

You know ,if Project Runway upsets you,don't watch it,mmmkay?

 

Assorted homosexuals?

 

Evolutionary?

 

I like (gay) cheese.

 

Those poor oppressed Christians. They are not even able to force people to follow all the principles of their cult superstition anymore. They have a millenniums-long history of brutal violence against free thought, scientific inquiry, alternative lifestyles, and diversity of faith. But she wants to cry about some words thrown her way? WWJD?

The gay "agenda" is a request to be treated like an actual human. People lash out when their human rights are denied. She should be prepared to face the consequences of attempting to deny the progress of human rights. The vast majority of actual (rather than rhetorical) violence done with respect the gay rights movement has been performed against gays.

Where's your post decrying the ACTUAL violence and ACTUAL cultural domination exhibited by Christians against gays and non-Christians throughout the history of humanity?

Methinks you should find your true spiritual home - Uganda.

 

that reminds me, I posted a link about Rick Santorum's likely entry into the Iowa Primary in the elections thread.

 

I'll do the Guardian's work for him.

Here's Melanie's home page

I assume this is her article.

One week ago, I **suggested on this page that some gay people were in danger of turning into the new McCarthyites by demonising and attempting to silence all who disagreed with the gay rights agenda.

Given the point I was making, it followed that I was expecting a reaction which would amply bear out the truth of what I had written. The response, **however, exceeded even my expectations.

For during the past seven days, I have been **subjected to an extraordinarily vicious outpouring of hate and incitement to violence, via email, the internet and in the mainstream media, and much worse besides.

In my article, I expressed concern that attempting to bar a Christian GP from the government’s advisory council on drugs because of his views on homosexuality, **bombarding the school curriculum with irrelevant gay references, and prosecuting Christian hoteliers for refusing to **accommodate gay men in the same bedroom were **examples of a frightening intolerance.

The response to this warning against an attempt by the gay lobby to silence dissent? An eruption of tweets on Twitter suggesting that I should be killed. Yes, really.

Apologies if the hideous and obscene **language shocks some readers, but examples of such tweets included: ‘Someone just kill Melanie Phillips please’; ‘your homo**phobic rant equals that which comes out of a dog’s rectum. Kill yourself you ****’; and ‘throw her in the Thames’.

And emails to me included such epithets as ‘vile, poisonous, horrible old woman’, and ‘people like you should be silenced as you insight (sic) bigotry and fear. Go and suck a tail pipe, get cancer, GET RAN OVER BY A TRAIN. I hope your ******* house burns down’.

All this because, having acknowledged the legitimacy of trying to protect gay people from true prejudice and discrimination, I suggested that Christians should not face discrimination against their beliefs!

If the gay lobby had set about trying to prove my point, it could hardly have done a better job. Indeed, the total inability of those who subjected me to such abuse to realise that they are, in fact, spewing out the very hatred, intolerance and incitement to violence of which they are accusing others would be hilarious were it not so terrifying.

For this is nothing less than a totalitarian mindset which turns truth, justice and rationality inside out.​

You look tired Melanie. Maybe you should climb down off the cross for a little while?

 

In case anyone wonders why the Guardian likes this columnist (aside the fact that she was the Daily Mail's first Page Three girl in 1957)

Britain’s new McCarthyites

Some of her greatest hits...

And it’s all part of the ruthless campaign by the gay rights lobby to destroy the very **concept of normal sexual behaviour.

Not so long ago, an epic political battle raged over teaching children that **homosexuality was normal. The fight over Section 28, as it became known, resulted in the repeal of the legal requirement on schools not to promote homosexuality

....

Expressing what used to be the moral norm of Western civilisation {Editorial aside: Socrates is on Line One, Melanie. He begs to differ} is now not just socially impermissible, but even turns upstanding people into lawbreakers.

The bed and breakfast hoteliers Peter and Hazelmary Bull — who were recently sued for turning away two homosexuals who wished to share a bedroom — were but the latest religious believers to fall foul of the gay inquisition merely for upholding Christian values
....

Christian street preacher Dale McAlpine was charged with making threatening, **abusive or insulting remarks for saying homosexuality was a sin to passers-by in Workington, Cumbria. In the event, the case against him was dropped and he won a police apology and compensation. {TAKE THAT, GAY AGENDA!!!}
....

It seems that just about everything in Britain is now run according to the gay agenda. For in addition to the requirement for gay-friendly hotels, gay adoption and gay mathematics now comes, apparently, gay drugs policy.

....

Penalising religious people for speaking and acting in accordance with their beliefs is neither liberal nor tolerant. It is behaviour more commonly associated with totalitarian dictatorships.

....

{And her conclusion}

Many different groups are involved in promoting this crazy, upside-down world of the equality agenda. But the seemingly all-**powerful gay rights lobby carries all before it. If it isn’t careful, it risks turning gay people from being the victims of prejudice into Britain’s new McCarthyites.​

I'm finding her penchant for overstatement based on paranoia to be a bit tiresome.

 

First page?

 

Don't try that at Toyota Park with the Poles.

Back to subject, again different countries. I have a street preacher a block away, brings his own amp and talks about sin, including how the gays will be punished. Nobody much listens to him but nobody is going to come after him either.

 

I didn't know The Guardian was a member of Congress but it all makes sense now--his raging, willfully ignorant, divisive and self-loathing banner of regressive discrimination waved with the fervor of a drill team majorette as he strains to distract himself from his own true identity, only to be brought to his knees by the forbidden yet inevitable lure of his first page.

Why oh why can't we all just accept ourselves.

 

like flying planes into buildings?

 

The gays caused 9/11?

Nah, I see your point and am happy to expand my blame to cover fundies from every religion.

 

This guy has been at the same corner since 1987, saying the same things, using the same amp. And he looks the same too. He's too damned handsome not to be gay. I say it's a front.

 

How nice of you!

However, while religion-related violence gets the most press (and, due to the inconsistency between Christianity and non-self defense related violence, rightfully so), I wouldn't think that religion is responsible for most of the homicides, armed robberies, rapes, assaults and other violent acts committed in our country. If someone has numbers to support the fact that most violence in America is a direct result of religion, then I'd be happy to look at that.
