Homophobic Rant

This article is just chock full of homophobic paranoia; referring to two bills which passed recently in the California State Senate, the author writes:
The first mandates the promotion of homosexuality in all public schools and prohibits any negative teaching about homosexuals or those of any non-traditional sexuality. The second creates special rights for those of any non-traditional sexuality, including freedom from "discrimination" (and with our judges, that could easily become any statement that is negative toward this group) by people who receive any money in any way from the state.
It "promotes homosexuality"? To Christian terrorists, like this fuck-head, anything that does not condemn and vilify homosexuality, promotes it. It creates "special rights"? Being protected from discrimination is a special right?

He thinks these bills are scary. I wonder if he's looked in the mirror recently.

He goes on to say:
This is a truly terrible bill. It would force California public schools to adopt textbooks which
  1. Must say nothing bad about homosexuals, bisexuals or transsexuals and
  2. Must promote the positive actions of homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals AND identify these people by their sexuality. This is to eliminate the "enforced invisibility that so many minority groups have gone through in terms of their contributions to California history," according to Sen. Sheila Kuehl, D-Santa Monica (who is openly homosexual).
Promote the positive actions of homosexuals, bisexuals and transsexuals? You mean like:
  • Oscar Wilde
  • Michelangelo
  • Sir Ian McKellen
  • Rock Hudson
  • Walt Whitman
Then he says:
And this is as early as kindergarten. Elementary students do not need to know anything about adult sexuality. How are you going to explain that some people have sex with both sexes or have undergone sex change surgery to 5-year-olds?
Asshole. You don't teach 5-year-old kids about sexuality -- hetero or homo.

Children do, however, need to learn how people relate to each other. It's a simple fact of life -- whether or not you understand or accept it -- that some men love men and some women love women, and that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with how they use their genitals.

He continues:
This bill effectively creates special rights for one group of people. Potentially, this law could be used to prosecute anyone who receives public money in any form who says anything that is perceived to be "discrimination" by homosexuals. This could prevent anyone in California schools, not to mention other government jobs, from voicing dissent.
Here we go again with "special rights". What is it with these people?

Let me put this succinctly: Public school teachers -- in any state, not just California -- must not proselytize for the Christian faith or
catechize its dogma. Stick to the fucking curriculum.

Finally, he revels in his psychosis:
What is really scary is that we are on the verge of the effective illegalization of evangelical Christianity. This would be done simply by expanding the law from those who receive public money to all citizens of California. Christians would not be able to preach their faith without fear of prosecution. It is a sad state of affairs that California is a stone's throw away from totalitarian-style religious oppression. We must pray and do all we can to stop this from happening - and that starts with stopping these bills.
Sadly, you ranting fuck-head, you are protected by the First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
Unfortunately, our constitution gives you the right to be hateful -- it even give you the right to indoctrinate your children. It does NOT, however, give you the right to mandate that public school curriculums agree with your beliefs. Sorry. If you don't like it, then home-school your children or send them to private school.

Cardinal urges legal action against Da Vinci Code


In this article, Cardinal Francis Arinze, a Nigerian who was considered a candidate for pope last year, was quoted as saying:
Christians must not just sit back and say it is enough for us to forgive and to forget. Sometimes it is our duty to do something practical. So it is not I who will tell all Christians what to do but some know legal means which can be taken in order to get the other person to respect the rights of others. This is one of the fundamental human rights: that we should be respected, our religious beliefs respected, and our founder Jesus Christ respected.
So, Christians demand respect, for themselves and their beliefs. Yet they vilify and demonize gays and lesbians for repudiating their church's hateful and bigoted teachings. Can you say hypocrite?

Let me quote your own dogma:
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive them that trespass against us.
Gee, I always thought that Christians should try to be Christ-like. Yeah, like that's going to happen.

I'll tell you what, Franky-boy, if I were you, I wouldn't want your mythical Christ showing up right about now, because you and the rest of your fuck-head friends would be in deep shit.

Day of Silence vs. Truth

Each year, GLSEN promotes what it calls a "Day of Silence" as a way to draw attention to the bullying and harassment faced by LGBT students everywhere. Students observe a day of silence and carry a card that says:
Please understand my reasons for not speaking today. I am participating in the Day of Silence, a national youth movement protesting the silence faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and their allies. My deliberate silence echos that silence, which is caused by harassment, prejudice, and discrimination. I believe that ending the silence is the first step toward fighting these injustices. Think about the voices you are not hearing today. What are you going to do to end the silence?
The "Day of Truth" is promoted by the Christian terrorists of the Alliance Defence Fund. According to their website:
The Day of Truth was established to counter the promotion of the homosexual agenda and express an opposing viewpoint from a Christian perspective
Here we go again with the dreaded "homosexual agenda."

Students participating in the Day of Truth are encouraged to wear T-shirts and pass out cards with the following message:
I am speaking the Truth to break the silence.
Silence isn't freedom. It's a constraint.
Truth tolerates open discussion, because the Truth emerges when healthy discourse is allowed.
By proclaiming the Truth in love, hurts will be halted, hearts will be healed, and lives will be saved.
Truth? Open discussion? Oh puh-lease... don't make me laugh.

These fuck-heads are not interested in truth. They're certainly not interested in open discussions. They're passing out propaganda that promotes Christian dogma.

The "Day of Silence" is not pro-gay -- it's anti-hate. The "Day of Truth", on the other hand, is not about truth at all -- it's anti-gay. It's as simple as that.
