Headless Monsters just don't stop
One day, I am going to sit down and compile a list of the top headless monsters (i.e. myths) that the anti-gay industry puts out about us.
A perfect case in point is how they have attemtped to connect pedophilia with homosexuality due to the Mark Foley controversy.
Apparently Family Research Council head Tony Perkins just can't leave well enough alone. He has come out with The Politically Incorrect Truth, a piece that supposedly proves the connection between pedophilia and homosexuality.
Rather than link to that lying piece of propaganda, I think it would be better to link to Jim Burroway's excellent smackdown of Perkins's lies via Box Turtle Bulletin (http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/)
However, now that Perkins has put out his lie, it will now be repeated ad nauseum via sources where it cannot be refuted i.e Agape Press. I expect to see The Politically Incorrect Truth showcased on many so-called "pro family" webpage unchallenged.
And it will be until it is refuted. Then Perkins and company will dig up and distort another study that they can pervert for their own purposes.
It is happening already. Another wanna be pastor, S. Michael Craven, repeats Perkins's lies almost verbatim on Crosswalk - a so-called "pro family" webpage (http://www.crosswalk.com/news/weblogs/mCraven/?adate=10/09/2006)
I sent Mr. Craven a nice letter detailing how his column has distortions, but he probably won't answer me back.
As long as people like Perkins can repeat lies in places where they can go unchallenged, guillible Christians like Mr. Craven will believe them.
