Obama appoints open homosexual to faith-based office

The head of a conservative activist group says President Obama's appointment of a leading homosexual activist to his faith-based council is an ominous sign that he may enforce a "pro-homosexuality orthodoxy" on religious groups receiving federal funds, which is itself a form of bigotry.
Barack Obama has appointed outspoken homosexual activist Harry Knox to the White House Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Knox, who is the director of the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) Religion and Faith program, will serve a one-year term on the 25-member Council.
Two years ago during an appearance on MSNBC, Knox argued that scientific evidence supports the notion that certain people are born homosexuals. "What's clear from our experience and from science is that being gay or lesbian is an immutable, unchangeable gift from God -- one for which I'm very grateful," he said. According to the HRC website, Knox is a former licensed pastor of a United Methodist Church in Georgia, and was denied ordination because of his sexual orientation.
Last month, Knox was critical of Pope Benedict's statement that condom usage increases HIV infections. That stance, said Knox, "is hurting people in the name of Jesus." He has also referred to "lesbian and gay" ministerial candidates as "gifted ministers."
HRC cites Knox as "instrumental in creating a national network for 22 progressive state clergy coalitions" across the U.S. But Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, says the HRC staff member is at the forefront of a movement that seeks to rewrite the Bible to support homosexuality.

Obama is making a big mistake by appointing radical homosexual militants to official positions. The general public will not approve of this kind of degeneracy and pro-homosexual propaganda paid for by our taxes.

A big “Thank You!” goes out to the many “Christians” who thought the “Christian” thing to do was to vote for 0bama.

How anyone who calls themselves “Christian” could vote for Obama is just mind-boggling.

Just saw the vid on Barney Frank & the Harvard student. Also a picture of Frank with his hand on a student’s butt. Trying to recruit. And now this queer on the WH Advisory Council. Ole Barney will have loads of fun at the WH with Knox, perhaps in the Lincoln Bedroom.

My “greatest generation” parents voted for him because he had a ‘D’ after his name. They also have rabid BDS syndrome... still.

To: DesertRenegade
WHAT?
Obama is turning away Christians from being in a FAITH BASED group,because the homofacists were bitching and whining.
Then Obama turns around and places a HOMOSEXUAL on a FAITH BASED group?
Did I fall alseep and wake up in some bassackwards universe?
What does the homosexual bring to the party? Knowledge of prayers to ward off aids?? This is just plain sick.We have a sick and evil President and half the country either does not care or seems willing to accept it..

Last month, Knox was critical of Pope Benedict's statement that condom usage increases HIV infections. That stance, said Knox, "is hurting people in the name of Jesus." This government apostate is deceiving the flock and jokingly refering to "Jesus".
The Pope's statement has been backed up by secular studies.

Also, if we are “born” with different sexualities, then he’ll need to explain how we are born naked and yet we have transvestites who CHOOSE to dress in the clothing of the OPPOSITE sex.
Clothing is dictated by culture and fashion, not NATURE.

"What's clear from our experience and from science is that being gay or lesbian is an immutable, unchangeable gift from God -- one for which I'm very grateful," he said. I suppose Knox is going to look at the SAME "evidence" and say that pedophiles are born that way, too. And then argue that some pervert sodomizing a little boy is "an immutable, unchangeable gift from God" as well.
Anyone who didn't see this coming, with judges imposing homosexual marriage by fiat upon Iowa as gravy, were abject fools.

There is no genetic reason for homosexuality. It was and should still be classified as a perversion and a mental illness.
