Analyzing and refuting the inaccuracies lodged against the lgbt community by religious conservative organizations. Lies in the name of God are still lies.
Republican strategist claims candidate is ‘exploiting’ anti-gay smear campaign - A presidential candidate is attacked by an anti-lgbt smear campaign but to a Republican strategist, said candidate is wrong because he is supposedly "exploiting" the campaign created to smear him. Pull up a chair. This explanation has to be epic.
If you think yesterday's post on the hypocrisy of the anti-lgbt religious liberty argument was something, then you will love this post.
When it comes to lgbt equality and lgbt in general some folks who call themselves "evangelicals" (huge supporters of the anti-lgbt industry) will start going on about not being "lukewarm.
But I wonder how many feel the same way as Foster Friess, this GOP donor to a multitude of conservative Christian causes (he once backed Rick Santorum), when it comes to Donald Trump:
Apparently Jesus once said "thou shalt support the odious, egotistical vagina-grabbing lout to get the keys to my Father's house."
Christian retailer doesn't cave, cuts author from its resources - As much as I despise the American Family Association's One News Now, I will link to this article on its page to demonstrate the hypocrisy of what I was talking about in the above article. The comments are disgusting in their false piety and sanctimony.
The anti-gay industry (or you can call them the religious right) not only create their own "facts" about the lgbt community. They also create their own African-American civil rights leader whose first item seems to always be attacking the lgbt community.
It's just as well. Last weekend at the anti-gay industry event, the Stand 4 Truth conference, he performed the dance which he was getting paid for - castigating President Obama over his support of the lgbt community:
Owens declared, in remarks broadcast by conference organizers through a Facebook Live stream, that “nobody but a black president could have gotten away with” his LGBT rights agenda, claiming that Obama was able to advance LGBT equality because white people “were afraid to be called racist, so you gave him a pass.”
In his support for marriage equality, Owens said, Obama “sold out” and “spit on the graves of all those people who died for civil rights.”
Discussing LGBT-inclusive nondiscrimination policies, Owens warned that children will soon be “brainwashed from birth,” something that he blamed on “our white brothers who will allow men to go in the restroom with your wife and your children.”
“I don’t care about President Obama being black,” Owens continued, “he’s half-black. As far as I’m concerned, he’s not black because he doesn’t understand the black experience.”
“So they’re going to brainwash our children from pre-school, telling them it’s alright to feel a certain way. That is terrible. Do you know what that’s doing to a tender mind, to a tender child?” he asked.
Peter Thiel: 'What Trump represents isn't crazy and it's not going away' - With all due respect to my lgbt brothers and sisters of a "lighter hue," it must be nice to be white, male and a billionaire when you are gay. It helps for folks to not call you "fudgepacker" and "faggot" to your face. Even if they are plotting behind your back.
One last thing for you folks who will probably tell me to think of things besides my sexual orientation when it comes to this election - why in the hell should I? It's what everyone else does. It's definitely what the Latino community and the African-American community is doing. It's what those folks that always seem be labeled as "middle America" is doing. It's what the "anti-lgbt industry" and their supporters are doing. Why should lgbts be told to be different? Why do we have to play the martyr and sacrifice our comfort and well-being, our families, our future, and our children when we have fears and desires which are no different or lesser than heterosexual America? I say to hell with it. An election is the best time TO be selfish.
This nauseating image of Trump with a rainbow flag is from a Sunday rally he hold in Colorado. It makes me wish for a recreation of that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where the Nazis melted after they opened the Ark of the Covenant.
But save the nausea for more. According to a recent article in The Washington Post, 12 percent of our community supports this wannabe Nimrod. Why? Check out the article:
Gary Gates, Gallup senior researcher and author of the new poll,
confirmed that the LGBT community is becoming more politically diverse,
as more people feel free to come out. “This increased political
diversity is also present in party identification,” he said, meaning
more gay Republicans and more mystified — and outraged — LGBT Democrats.
