Snappy comebacks to stupid religious right talking points
Don't you just hate it when the religious right tries to condense the complexities of sexual orientation to stupid talking points that totally mischaracterize the entire argument?
For example:
Religious right talking point - "You can't compare being black to being gay because there are no ex-African-Americans but there are plenty of ex-gays."
Try this answer:
Answer - "Just as some blacks have tried to pass for white in the past due to their light skin tone, some gays try to pass for heterosexual. And history has shown us that neither attempt to hide who you are is, in the long run, successful."Now on to news briefs:
"Madea" Actor/Singer Terrell Carter Outed by Ex-Boyfriend - Speaking of which . . .
Gay couple 'backed out of foster plans after negative media coverage' - On one hand, this isn't good because I'm sure they would have made a very good home for the child. But on the other, so much for the stupid notion of gays pursuing adoption for selfish reasons. They obviously thought of the child's needs first.
NARTH: Rubbish in the Guise of Research - More details about that fradulent NARTH study.
Video: If credibility began and ended at FOF's front door, then vids like this might help - Perfect example of the religious right echo chamber. NARTH creates a fradulent study and Focus on the Family pushes it as legitimate.

Doesn't it strike them that the subtext of that talking point is actually: "If they COULD change their race, we'd be the first to encourage them to do it!"
I haven't any children of my own. But have helped to raise my nine nieces and nephews. Especially the six that live nearby. Three nephews live in Texas. I am proudly just called Uncle by the six that live nearby. I am going to the wedding of my last niece this weekend. Watching them grow up is something has kept me alive.
