If Obama and all these liberal groups supporting "It Gets Better" want to really stand up against bullying then they should stand up and tell the world that what Dan Savage did by bullying these Christian KIDS is wrong.

Let me be clear, this following story from Todd Starnes of Fox News about Dan Savage of "It Gets Better" Bullying Christian kids is just another example of persecution and hypocrisy that Christians face in America.

Worldwide now and throughout history, Christians are killed and bullied on a mass scale for believing in Jesus. bullying because of homosexuality does not even get measured on the same scale as the persecution that Christians face. Soon America will be added to the list of countries where Christians are persecuted simply for believing in something that the liberals do not like.

These liberals with pro homosexual agendas say they are against bullying, unless you are a Christian and then it is ok to bully you.

They do not just want tolerance, they want acceptance and for their actions to be labeled as normal.

They call for everyone to be tolerant of different beliefs (specifically homosexuality), unless you are a Christian and it is ok to be intolerant towards your Christian beliefs.

They call for an end to hate, unless you do not approve of homosexuality, and then is ok to hate you.

They use freedom of speech and expression but turn around and deny that right to Christians.
They glorify thug, criminal football players but demonize Tim Tebow for praying during football games

If Obama and all these liberal groups supporting "It Gets Better" want to really stand up against bullying then they should stand up and tell the world that what Dan Savage did by bullying these Christian KIDS is wrong.

They wont though. Because that's the road America is headed down. The road where pastors will be arrested for hate speech simply because they preach the truths of the Bible. The road where Christians will be persecuted by people claiming to be against persecution.

Anti-Bullying Speaker Curses Christian Teens

By Todd Starnes

As many as 100 high school students walked out of a national journalism conference after an anti-bullying speaker began cursing, attacked the Bible and reportedly called those who refused to listen to his rant “pansy asses.”
The speaker was Dan Savage, founder of the “It Gets Better” project, an anti-bullying campaign that has reached more than 40 million viewers with contributors ranging from President Obama to Hollywood stars. Savage also writes a sex advice column called “Savage Love.”
Savage, and his husband, were also guests at the White House for President Obama’s 2011 LGBT Pride Month reception. He was also invited to a White House anti-bullying conference.

Savage was supposed to be delivering a speech about anti-bullying at the National High School Journalism Conference sponsored by the Journalism Education Association and the National Scholastic Press Association. But it turned into an episode of Christian-bashing.
Rick Tuttle, the journalism advisor for Sutter Union High School in California, was among several thousand people in the audience. He said they thought the speech was one thing – but it turned into something else.
“I thought this would be about anti-bullying,” Tuttle told Fox news. “It turned into a pointed attack on Christian beliefs.”
Tuttle said a number of his students were offended by Savage’s remarks – and some decided to leave the auditorium.
“It became hostile,” he said. “It felt hostile as we were sitting in the audience – especially towards Christians who espouse beliefs that he was literally taking on.”
Tuttle said the speech was laced with vulgarities and “sexual innuendo not appropriate for this age group.” At one point, he said Savage told the teenagers about how good his partner looked in a speedo.
The conservative website CitizenLink was the first to report about the controversy. They interviewed a 17-year-old girl who was one of students who walked out of the auditorium.
“The first thing he told the audience was, ‘I hope you’re all using birth control,’” she told CitizenLink. “he said there are people using the Bible as an excuse for gay bullying, because it says in Leviticus and Romans that being gay is wrong. Right after that, he said we can ignore all the (expletive deleted) in the Bible.”
As the teenagers were walking out, Tuttle said that Savage heckled them and called them “pansy asses.”

The executive director of the National Scholastic Press Association provided Fox News with joint statement from the Journalism Education Association that was sent to members – after a number of people complained about Savage’s remarks.
“We appreciate the level of thoughtfulness and deliberation regarding Dan Savage’s keynote address,” the NSPA wrote. “some audience members who felt hurt by his words and tone decided to leave in the middle of his speech, and to this, we want to make our point very clear: While as a journalist it’s important to be able to listen to speech that offends you, these students and advisers had simply reached their tolerance level for what they were willing to hear.”
The NSPA said they did not have a prior transcript of Savage’s speech and that wish “he had stayed more on target for the audience of teen journalists.” They also said it provided a “teachable moment” for students.
As for Savage’s attack on people of faith?
“While some of his earlier comments were so strongly worded that they shook some of our audience members, it is never the intent of JEA or NSPA to let students get hurt during their time at our conventions,” they wrote.
However, not once did the NSPA or the JEA offer any apologies to the students or faculty advisors or anyone else in attendance.
Candi Cushman, who writes a blog on CitizenLink, noted the irony.
“Using profanity to deride the bible – and then mocking the Christian students after they left the room — is obviously a form of bullying and name-calling,” she wrote. “This illustrates perfectly what we’ve been saying all along: Too many times in the name of ‘tolerance,’ Christian students find their faith being openly mocked and belittled in educational environments.”
Tuttle said that he “felt duped” by the event. “There were Christian schools who went to the conference. To have this happen was disappointing and shocking.”
And for some of his students – they felt like the anti-bullying activist was in fact – the bully.
The NSPA said they should have done a better job preparing schools for what to expect.

“The Bible. We’ll just talk about the Bible for a second...We can learn to ignore the bull—— that’s in the Bible about gay people (some applaud and cheer)”
(we see some leave)
“We ignore bulls-— in the Bible about a lot of things. The Bible is a pro-slavery document.”

We’ll see how Dan Savage and his speedo wearing partner feel about it as they face the King of kings and Lord of lords and their foul blister encrusted mouths utter the words “JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!”

It’s going to happen and there isn’t one damn thing they can do about it.

I once thought political correctness was just a fancy term for a more careful avoidance of insulting language.

I once thought calls for civility were intended to bring a general atmosphere of maturity and common purpose to public discourse.

But I learned, and was never taken in by the "It Gets Better" campaign. Like all far-left do-good movements, the intended benefits are starkly one-sided. This Savage guy shows that the real aim is "bullying for me but not for thee".

Worthless faggie, typical of their ilk.

“Behold, G-d is not mocked.”

What a disgrace to the organizers to have such a vile, repulsive individual address such an event. There’s a reason they didn’t have an advance copy/perview of his speech, because then they can feign ignorance of the direction and tone he intended to go with from the start. That way, when called on it later, they could say...well, no hurt intended, or whatever. Such phony, lying, deception. That’s what it seems to be anymore...lying, deception, degradation...it permeates nearly everything coming from the left in this country anymore.

The White House probably needed sanitization immediately afterwards. Especially the restrooms.

Why use the perfectly legitimate word, “partner,” in referring to a homosexual’s same sex sex toy? The proper term is “paramour,” which implies one of the participants in an illicit sexual relationship.

I hope he repents his sins and turns his life over to Christ. Homosexuality results in a miserable existence.

[Shery]

“The NSPA said they should have done a better job preparing schools for what to expect.”

So, this means that in the future they’ll warn that Christians will be skewered and the Bible blasphemed? Just wondering. It’s no surprise, but to host someone like this as appropriate for any age school kids is wrong!

“The NSPA said they should have done a better job preparing schools for what to expect.”

Isn't this a form of 'hate speech?' I hope the parents do something about getting this man banned from the educational speaker circuit.

Meh. It's all semantics. The only hard and fast rule I adhere to is to NEVER deliberately or intentionally refer to those engaging in faggotry as 'gay', they are homosexuals and it's a shame they were able to get away with stealing and appropriating a perfectly innocent word, a word which will never be able to return to it's original untainted status.

Everyone that had anything to do with this conference should be locked up and do hard labor in a desert somewhere the rest of their miserable lives.

The problem with "It Gets Better" is that it encourages homosexuality in children.

Does it get better? Why, of course it does! Just ask Lawrence King.

Oh. Wait. You can't.
