Homosexuals celebrate in ravaged New Orleans
WND ^ | tember 6, 2005 | By Joe Kovacs

Despite the devastation and ongoing suffering by thousands from Hurricane Katrina, homosexuals paraded on Bourbon Street in New Orleans over the weekend, and have rescheduled their "Southern Decadence" event for tomorrow.

"It's New Orleans, man. We're going to celebrate," Matt Menold, a 23-year musician wearing a sombrero and a guitar slung on his back, told the Associated Press.

An account of the small parade on the homosexual newssite 365gay.com noted: It was a scene like something from a Fellini movie. Amid the death, the destruction, and suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina a small parade behind a tattered rainbow flag made its way up Bourbon Street on Sunday. The marchers said they were celebrating Southern Decadence. The group – about two dozen people – all said they lived in the largely gay French Quarter. Defiant, they said they were not about to flee the community despite orders from the city to do so.

One marcher carried a sign proclaiming, "Life Goes On?"

"The shocking callousness of New Orleans' gay activists towards the severe suffering of its fellow citizens cannot be adequately articulated in a news report," says James Hartline, a former homosexual, who describes the "Southern Decadence" festival as being "replete with tens of thousands of men and women engaged in public nudity, prostitution, illegal drug use and destructive public S & M sex."

"The idea that human beings are continuing to party while hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens are starving, dying and suffering from a multitude of sicknesses brings into focus the real lack of judgment that these constant advocates of special gay rights demonstrate in a time of crisis."

According to Agape Press, Hartine himself has AIDS and is now warning homosexuals about the consequences of their lifestyle.

As WorldNetDaily previously reported, Hurricane Katrina walloped New Orleans just two days before the annual homosexual "Southern Decadence" festival was to begin in the town, an act characterized by some as God's work.

The event has been slated to go on tomorrow in the nearby town of Lafayette, La., featuring "Floatin' Floozies," according to the event's website.

As writer John d'Addario explained in "Southern Decadence 2005: A How-To Guide" posted on FrenchQuarter.com:

Parades and non-stop parties aside, Southern Decadence may be most famous (or infamous) for the displays of naked flesh which characterize the event – which is only fitting, since New Orleans in early September is generally the closest thing you'll ever experience to walking around in a steambath outside of a health spa. While police have started to crack down on public lewdness and pressure from a local crackpot conservative religious organization has caused the five-day festival to become a little more sedate than it was in years past, the atmosphere of Southern Decadence has stayed true to its name and public displays of sexuality are pretty much everywhere you look. The event has been endorsed by Mayor Ray Nagin, who promoted the activities in a letter stating: "There is no place like this on Earth! Southern Decadence XXXII is an exciting event. We welcome you and know that you can anticipate great food, great music and great times in New Orleans."

I am reminded of the story of the flood in the book of Genesis. The population of the earth was destroyed because of the unrepentant violence and depravity that overtook it.

I am reminded of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. A city was destroyed because of the unrepentant violence and depravity.

I am reminded of the story of Ninevah and of Jonah. That city was spared because a man of God preached repentance and those in the city did so and were spared.

Let us hope and pray that those in New Orleans will heed the warning that has been given them.

And what kind of a noise annoys an oyster?

Sheesh. Perverts aside, there will be no shortage of port hands, refinery and platform workers, and roughnecks unless the ILA do something stupid, which, while I concede that this is ordinarily quite possible, is not in the cards under present-day circumstances in what's left of the Big Sleazy.

This is absolutely the reason why New Sodom was smote, according to Dr. Michael Savage.

The point being that the port brings its own business. It can't be JUST port hands, roughnecks, and the like unless you want to operate it like a military base with a commissary.

I'm beginning to understand why prisons in the US are isolating homosexuals in their own wings and exercise yards where the other prisoners can't get at them. When the other prisoners can get at them, they generally try to kill them. Maybe it's the behavior that homosexuals exhibit in places like New Orleans that makes other inmates want to kill them.

The stench from the overwhelming odor of the human excrement and urine from the ruptured sewer lines in the flood waters, probably has the homosexuals in a state of spasmatic and uncontrollable esctacy. They can't help it-they were twisted that way during sex education in our highly enlightened public school systems.

If they carry on as obnoxiously there as they do in Nawlins, it's kind of easy to see why.

"You mean smited? "

No- Smited ain't in my 1973 American Heritage Dictionary. Smote is.

I can't quite believe that God's hand was punishing all of New Orleans. In the old testament, He only did that when there was not one righteous person. Why is SF still standing, San Diego, NY, Boston, Miami, on and on it goes....there are lots of areas that really pander to the gay community.

I wish I could have seen Jonah telling them to repent...I wonder if he was like a street preacher, or if there was a call to the God he loved and feared because he had heard directly from Him?

I don't know how we reach people with harshness and self righteousness, (and name calling too--that always attracts people to what you're trying to promote.) Seems like if we took it one person at a time and really shared the gospel emphasizing repentance and a new life it would make a difference.

An important question. I certainly don't have any answer other than to try to figure out what Jesus and the apostles did, which basically seems to be calling for repentence and sharing the gospel.

"From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."" Matt 4:17
