Sharing a sickening, hate-filled opinion piece with ya'll

Featured on Episode 087 of the show we discuss a hateful, ignorance-filled opinion piece about "the homosexual conspiracy" and gay "reparative" therapy. We read a section of the piece on air, but to get the full horribleness I share with you the complete text.

Why am I posting this on the blog? Why not just put a link in the show notes? Because I don't want this horrible website to get any more traffic and profit off of hits that I can avoid. Feel free to check the link at the bottom, but trust me: I copy this word for friggin' word. GERG ANGRY!!!

Without any further ado I give you the horrible: 

Why homosexual ‘marriage’ signals the end of heterosexual rights

by Greg Quinlan     Wed Oct 31, 2012 18:58 EST

October 31, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The homosexual push for “equal marriage,” otherwise known as genderless marriage, can only lead to a ban on heterosexual rights. With a President in power who endorses gay causes and readily misuses executive orders, and emboldened by their numerous wins for gay rights at the legislative and judicial level, homosexuals have now moved beyond equal rights to the “more equal than you” level. As a result, gay organizations are working to ban that practice they fear the most—heterosexual behavior.

Witness the ban on heterosexual therapy successfully pushed by homosexual groups in California. Even though no scientific evidence exists of a “gay gene,” parents in California are now prohibited from taking their children to see a therapist to resolve their child’s unwanted same-sex attractions.

So for parents who discover that their son has been molested and is now sexually confused, their only option is to make an appointment with a gay affirming therapist because unlike heterosexual affirming therapy, gay affirming therapy has not been declared illegal in California even though such therapy has not been proven beneficial by the APA. 

Yet a parent can take their son to a therapist to approve gender blocking hormones so that the child’s natural gender is stunted before he reaches puberty. In short, parents can attempt to change a child’s gender, but they can’t change their child’s sexual orientation unless it is to a homosexual identity.

This heterosexual ban did not come about by accident, because who would have considered it? Surely not parents, who want all therapeutic and medical options available for their child. So then why would a state legislature like California ignore the wishes of parents and outlaw heterosexual therapy for children? Indeed, the original legislation banned heterosexual therapy for everyone, including adults.

Nor can we attribute the ban to the wacky state of California, because New Jersey is next on the list to outlaw heterosexual therapy for children, thanks to a New Jersey state assemblyman who has introduced the legislation. 

As a politically powerful and wealthy constituent group of the Democratic party, gay activists know from their successful gay marriage battles (never won at the ballot box) how to lobby for homosexual legislation regardless of its effect on society at large.  So as gay activist organizations band together to demand that state legislatures ban heterosexual therapy, its anti-heterosexual consequences are ignored and the rights of parents over their own children are outlawed.

As a former homosexual, I understand the gays’ dread and absolute fear of heterosexuality. It goes beyond trying to normalize sodomy by calling it “marriage.”  It’s about labeling others as “gay” as early as possible—witness the gay activist push into public schools—and then ensuring that they do not leave the group. As a homosexual, I was welcomed with open arms, especially when I joined the gay activist cause.

But when I decided to leave homosexuality after seeing hundreds of my friends and acquaintances die of AIDS, I was demonized and excoriated as an ex-gay traitor, which continues to this day.  Now I see that same hate against the ex-gay community being targeted against African-Americans who refuse to equate sodomy with their skin color and against heterosexuals who will not recognize homosexual behavior as a civil right.

So what does that mean for heterosexuals? Just look at what is happening. In addition to banning heterosexual therapy, individual homosexuals are filing lawsuits against heterosexuals by using gay rights laws to force mandatory recognition and approval of homosexual behavior. Businesses and individuals who do not approve are fired from their jobs, threatened, or publicly castigated – as witnessed by the attempted but failed nationwide Chick-fil-A boycott by homosexuals.

The culture war is not slowing down; it’s just beginning to gain steam as gay organizations turn to anti-heterosexual legislation, mandatory public approval of sodomy, federal funding of gay youth activist organizations and homosexual initiatives, required government training against “homophobia,” “heterosexism,” and “transphobia,” etc., etc.  This is more than a culture war; it is a war for our very own freedoms—a war for the character and future of our nation.

Homofascism will soon be, if it is not already, the greatest threat to our individual liberties in this country.  So-called equality marriage is just the beginning.

 Greg Quinlan is President of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) and Executive Director of Equality and Justice For All.

Holding On

How long
Can you hold onto a dream
Trying to grasp at the clouds
The details slip into ether
Sex Visions or Hitchcock horror
We can’t hold onto either
As real as they may seem
You gotta let go of those dreams

How long  
Can you hold onto an idea
A straw can break the back
Of a conspiracy house of cards
Masons and United Nations
Are usually who they say they are
As real as you want it to be a
You gotta let go of those ideas.

How long
Can you hold onto a belief
It hits you in the splanchnocranium
That gods and ghosts are myths
Fantasies make great stories
Reality is what we live with
As real as a nice motif
You gotta let go of those beliefs

How long
Can you hold on to a love
Dreams, ideas, and beliefs
Were once the stuff of songs
But youre only hurting yourself
By holding on too long
As real as I ever knew
What do I do about you

As real as I ever knew
What do I do about you
How long---------------------------------------

Sometimes satellites can be seen flying through the night
Reflecting sunlight to the ground below
Other times theyre at my door demanding candy asking for
Tricks or treats then they go
Oh, Im playing dumb
I ask them what they are and where they come from
                                                       
Werewolves Vampires skeletons displaying splanchnocraniums
Going door to door to door so eagerly
I’m waiting for the bell to show a pathway to the gates of hell
Watching Hitchcock on an LCD

Oh,     Im not so smart
Snacking on the chocolate caramels and sweet tarts

Miniature politicians say United Nations Day was last
They’re scarier by far than the zombie aliens with oozing scars

I sometimes dress it depends but usually Im behind the lens
Making pictures independently
Other times Im on the mic fielding snarky comments left and right
And you can hear me Fridays at three

Oh  its maybe make believe
Even if it fits in the realm of anthropology Ill make no apology
for my demagoguery and Ill end this song on cheese

Happy Sloth

Happy Sloth is happy

Happy Sloth is happy

He went to the doc,

And he got his shot,

|Happy Sloth is happy

Brave Moose is Brave

Brave Moose is Brave

He didn't move a bit

For that needle stick

Brave Moose is Brave

Da lady bug is a lady

Da lady bug is a lady

A nurse stuck her arm

Now she's protected from harm

Da lady bug is a lady

Smart turtle is smart

Smart turtle is smart

She came for her annual

Got her doses on schedule

Smart turtle is smart

Don't you listen to mister Wakefield

Because his data he fake-field

Just cause McCarthy's on Oprah

Doesn't mean you should lose hope-rah

If you don't want the blues

Don't read the Natural News

Cause the science tells you facts

That it's a good idea to get vaxed!!

Happy Sloth is happy

Happy Sloth is happy

He went to the doc,

And he got his shot,

Happy Sloth is happy
