Naturally, the American Family Association's One News Now is allowing LaBarbera to cast his collection of mess as some sort of accurate and moral event.
But I also found something else extremely fascinating and highly unusual. The One News Now article made it a point to fairly give the GLN's position on the situation:
"We're giving free scholarships to young people because we know that, let's face it, young people in America are brainwashed in favor of the gay rights movement," the AFTAH (LaBarbera) founder laments.
Some pro-homosexual groups are already showing opposition to the Truth Academy, claiming that its teachings are hateful "bigotry."
"The Chicago Gay Liberation Network (GLN) has already announced it's going to protest the truth academy," LaBarbera reports.
That is the same group that celebrated the firing of a University of Illinois professor who taught the Catholic view against homosexuality. In reference to AFTAH's efforts, GLN's website contends that "youth should not be taught to hate their peers and thus fuel the cycle of self-loathing, depression and suicide which too many LGBTQ youth experience. Bigotry must be vocally and publicly opposed, especially when haters try to recruit young people."
The conservative leader, however, feels that defending biblical truths and the natural family is not "hate," and he suspects that some of the opposition might be because of the lineup of nationally known speakers the academy has invited to speak.
Let's take a look at these speakers. They include:
Cliff Kincaid- a man whose organization(Accuracy in Media), when not having to apologize for inaccurately labeling a gay Obama official (Kevin Jennings) as a pedophile, is busy defending a Ugandan law which penalizes people - with imprisonment and death- simply for being gay.
Robert Knight of Coral Ridge Ministries - who has spent years demonizing the lgbt community even to the point of freely citing the discredited research of Paul Cameron (a man who publishes "research papers" accusing gays of such things as wallowing in feces and plunging gerbils up their rectums.) Knight has also in the past described lesbians as "pretty big heavy set women who look like they’ve been over working October Fest for the last six years "
Ryan Sorba, Young Conservatives of California - a man so nastily anti-gay that he was booed off of the stage at a right-wing conservative conference for his comments.
Greg Quinlan, Parents and Friends of Gays and Ex-Gays - who, when he is not distorting the words of prominent researchers such as Dr. Francis Collins, attempts to spin court defeats into victories for his fraudulent group.
Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel - a man who described gay relationships as “one man violently cramming his penis into another man’s lower intestine and calling it ‘love.’” Barber is also the same man who encouraged attendees at a conference last year to go into more detail in describing gay sex acts as a way to disgust people.
And last but not least:
Arthur Goldberg - head of JONAH, a Jewish "ex-gay" group. Golberg is a convicted felon who was imprisoned for a multitude of charges including federal mail and wire fraud to conspiracy counts as a result of a bogus bond writing scheme.
One more thing - JONAH is presently embroiled in an ugly scandal in which two former clients charged one of the organization's lead therapists with sexual misconduct.
All of this makes one wonder just what is LaBarbera's definition of "biblical truths."
Any parent who thinks that their children would benefit from being exposed to this collection of homophobic misfits needs his/her head examined.
