Upcoming documentary features chilling look at Ugandan homophobia




In light of Accuracy in Media's (and supporter of Uganda's anti-gay bill) Cliff Kincaid being chosen as an "instructor" in Peter LaBarbera's phony "Truth Academy," the above video is a preview of a soon-to-be released documentary on Uganda's homophobia.

From Box Turtle Bulletin:

French filmmaker Dominique Mesminsent this trailer for an upcoming documentary he’s working on. The people speaking are unidentified, but one of the speakers appears to be pastor Julius Oyet, who has emerged as a close confidant to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill’s sponsor MP David Bahati. Oyet was in the visitor’s gallery and recognized by the Speaker when the bill was introduced into Parliament last October. This video captures Oyet defending the death penalty for gay people.

Constance McMillen wins huge victory, Breitbart's revenge, and other Tuesday midday news briefs

Won Mississippi: Constance's limo rental budget gets a bump - Constance McMillen wins a HUGE victory for herself and other lgbt youths.

NOM’s followers are so full of “love” that it oozes right out of them - Now that's nicer than I would have put it.

Why won't Breitbart release the full Shirley Sherrod/NAACP video? - And for those interested in the ongoing NAACP vs. Tea Party feud, the sleaziest man in journalism, Andrew Breitbart, has weighed in with a tape of a (former) USDA official Shirley Sherrod allegedly being extremely racist during an NAACP speech. Only a few things though - the incident was over 20 years ago, and the part  of the speech shown (Breitbart's tape ends abruptly) is a part of a larger anecdote that Sherrod was telling the audience. But we know how this works. The tea party folks, with the help of Fox News, is suddenly slightly re-energized after a disastrous week. I say "slightly" because from what I understand, the mainstream media and some conservative bloggers are asking questions as to what does the full tape show. And we all know Breitbart's "truthiness" when it comes to taped footage. LOL

Supporter of Uganda's anti-gay bill joins LaBarbera 'Truth Academy'

Anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera has a new "instructor" for his upcoming anti-gay training conference - Cliff Kincaid

From People for the American Way:

 . . . Accuracy in Media's Cliff Kincaid, who shares a LaBarbera-level hatred for gays, has now been added to the list of instructors, which explains why he is now writing glowing columns about the conference warning that it is our only hope of save America from its "moral suicide" as gays seek to kill themselves and everyone else:

LaBarbera is one of those brave few taking a leadership role in the effort to preserve traditional American social and religious values. Fighting off the predictable smears of “hater” and “homophobe” from the gay-run Media Matters group and the Southern Poverty Law Center, he and his associates will be gathering near Chicago from August 5-7 to educate the next generation—and their parents—about the consequences if homosexuality is promoted in the schools and by the federal government. This is when AFTAH is launching a Truth Academy on how to fight the “gay agenda.” I am honored to be invited to be a part of this effort. I will be discussing gay influence on the media and the homosexual drive for the “right” to donate possibly infected and contaminated blood to the nation’s blood supply.

LaBarbera, head of the anti-gay group Americans for Truth, announced plans for his "Truth Academy" in June. He claimed that it is to instruct the next generation (between the ages of 14 to 25) lessons in "combatting the gay agenda" and supposed homosexual "misinformation" at a cost of $99 a head.

His list of instructors are dubious enough, but the selection of Kincaid adds more of a sinister air to the mix.

Kincaid openly supported Uganda's "Kill The Gays" bill even when it was facing a backlash.

In February he said the following:

"Uganda's people and government deserve support, not criticism, from the United States. They are up against the international homosexual lobby, the money of George Soros, and the Obama Administration. They are trying to create a Christian culture that is protective of families and children." 

As far as it is known, Kincaid continues to support the bill.

One can only imagine what he will be telling young folks about the lgbt community.

Concerned Women for America outdoes itself with vile anti-gay campaign


This graphic is a perfect example of how low some so-called "family values" groups will stoop.

In this particular case the organization is the Concerned Women for America, no stranger to anti-lgbt graphics and cartoons no matter how vile.

But this one is especially vile:

Concerned Women for America (CWA) values the sacrifice of the millions of men and women who serve in the armed forces. Those service men and women and their families deserve our complete support in carrying out their mission. But today, many senators and representatives in Washington, D.C., have lost this simple focus, opting to support policies that make their jobs harder and, in many cases, actually harm their efforts to succeed in keeping America safe. The purpose of CWA's S.H.O.T. campaign is to send a clear message to our policy makers to "Stop Harming Our Troops!" Let them focus. And let them win!

Below are some CWA resources that highlight some of the problems we are facing and give you some great talking points so you can call your senator and let your voice be heard.

Also, make sure you CLICK HERE to check out the t-shirts, coffee mugs, stickers and many other materials you can get with our S.H.O.T. logo. Make a splash at the next townhall or tea party meeting with these great items that make a BIG statement in a very simple way.

Of course the number one problem according to Concerned Women for America is allowing lgbts to openly serve in the military:

Liberals have spent decades targeting the United States military with their demands for radical social restructuring in favor of homosexuality. As it applies to the military, their social policy agenda trumps all other considerations: the goal is not a stronger or better-prepared military. This paper seeks to clear up the confusion which exists on this topic. It will summarize the issues at stake so you will be equipped to understand the ongoing policy debates

Where do I start with this one? It's one thing to openly push homophobia, but it's another to market it on t-shirts and coffee mugs. T-shirts and coffee mugs? It's like selling charcoal black lawn jockeys.

And that's not even saying about what the graphic represents. Lgbts want to serve openly in the military because we love our country too. We are not the enemy here and to imply us as such is just plain nasty.

Concerned Women for America hints about the sacrifices of the millions of men and women who served in the Armed Forces. If the organization had any respect for those men and women (many of whom were lgbts) and their sacrifices, they wouldn't trivialize them with a such cynical ploy for money steeped in bad taste.

Knight's attempt to blame left for instigating "racial animosity" falls flat - Robert Knight sucks at demonizing the NAACP just as much as he sucks at demonizing lgbts.

National Organization for Marriage needs to address hate in its own ranks


The above photo is a scene from the National Organization for Marriage's "Summer for Marriage" Tour which you will probably be seeing a little more of.

This tour has been a failure because in many places, the protestors have outnumbered NOM supporters.

Protests have varied from silent but effective like in New York to a bit unruly but equally effective like in Rhode Island, where this picture was taken.

No doubt Brian Brown, head of NOM and the guy with the microphone, meant for the picture to show how supposedly intolerant lgbt activists are.

Before this talking point even takes root, Brown needs to address the situation regarding a participant of his tour, Louis J. Marinelli.

At one stop, Brown claimed that his group supports the "dignity of all persons."

But amongst other things, Marinelli once remarked in a video that:

. the homosexual agenda is really about the 3 Ps: prostitution, pedophilia, and polygamy.

And on that note, before taking pictures of people to cast negative images of them, maybe Brown should police the nasty rhetoric of other NOM allies instead of attempting to dance around them.

Seems to me that before Brown and NOM attacks the so-called intolerant angry lgbt activists, he would be better served to examine why they are angry.

So much for NO tea party racism - Mark Williams expelled from National Tea Party Federation



This is an excellent exchange between the NAACP's Bejamin Jealous and African-American tea party leader David Webb.

I apologize for not having the transcript, but here are the main points:

Jealous makes a good point about the New National Black Panther Party at 2:46. It is an excellent comparison between the NNPPA and the NAACP as opposed to the racist elements in the tea party movement.

But a better point is made before than by Webb at 1:22. He says that Mark Williams (the author of "the Abraham Lincoln Letter") and his group Tea Party Express have been expelled from the National Tea Party Federation specifically because of "the Abraham Lincoln Letter."

But wouldn't that be an admittance of racist elements in the tea party movement?

And I thought Sarah Palin, Michael Steele, AND Fox News said that there were no racist elements in the tea party movement.

So much for truth in politics.

Editor's Note - I apologize to those who feel that I am deviating from lgbt issues to address this situation. But to me, it's all connected.
