An Anti-Gay Easter [FR mentioned]
In These Times ^ | March 1, 2006 | By John Ireland

Posted on 03/01/2006 12:01:59 PM PST by Jim Robinson

Whose children will be allowed to participate in the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll on April 17? Not the sons and daughters of gay parents, if the Christian right gets its way.

In November, when the Family Pride Coalition, a D.C.-based gay rights advocacy group, invited its members to participate in one of the “great traditions of our country” the religious right sprang into action. The Institute on Religion and Democracy, a religious think tank, accused the Family Pride Coalition of trying to “exploit a children’s event for political purposes.” Even the White House has weighed in.

~~snip~~

The Christian right blogosphere is afire, condemning the presence of gay parents on the White House lawn as “nearly terrorist threats from the homo lobby.” One post suggests that “White House psychologists” should be deployed to help the children of gay parents and implies that they are molested in their homes. Another wishes the gays “good luck,” reminding readers that “the Secret Service carries automatic weapons.”

Such posts are, of course, “those of the individual posters” to http://www.FreeRepublic.com, “and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of … its operators.” The site claims 200,000 registered members, known as “Freepers,” and a daily readership of “tens of thousands.” Free Republic, founded in 1996, has been embraced by right-wing social conservatives as the online water cooler for “patriots” who are “biased toward God, country, family, liberty and freedom.”

Or at least liberty and freedom for some. “These lowlife scum should just be mowed down like terrorists,” writes one good Christian.

I work in the Hospitality and Travel industry, and I never said it was an area with a lot of conservative gays. I said I worked with gay people and that they were conservative, voted for President Bush, and thought that gay marriage was a stupid idea. I was NOT painting with a broad brush. I was only talking about the gay people I work with. I thought that was obvious from my post. If not, my apologies.

Jesus never advocates killing homosexuals. I

Jesus is God. The bible is God's word. Jesus confirmed the entire body of scripture.

Post these statistics. The last ones I saw had the incidence of same sex molestation at about 35%. which when you consider that sodomites make up around 2-3% of the population gives a far greater likelihood that any one sodomite is a molestor than any one normal hetrosexual person. (I was going to say normal but no molestor is normal)

And most serial killers are white males with genius level IQs, but that doesn't mean all white male geniuses are serial killers.

so will this get me the FBI crime statistics? I don't see the connection between a google search and molestation. Or are you making the point that all consumers of porn are guilty of rape or molestation?

If you did a search for "young boys" and a body part would you get similar results? Seeing that sodomites also tend to be major porn consumers you just might end up with even more hits. I guess a google search doesn't make a valid research method.

3% cause 35% of molestations
97% causes 65% of molestations

Therefore each member of the 3% group has a far far greater chance of being a molestor than a member of the 97% group.

It's not that hard to understand

Not bloody likely on the WH lawn.

"You are arguing that it is alright to abuse children as long as the is no accountability, nor anyone to defend them."

No, no. I am asserting that I see that as a liberal position. I see it as contradictory.

The size of the respective commercial markets are a pretty good indicator. Run both Google searches and compare.

I don't think your post will fit into his gay bashing agenda very well.

I'm being called a "homonazi" because I said that according to FBI statistics, most children are molested by heterosexuals.

Does the phrase "Thou doth protesteth too much" mean anything to them??? I can only wonder why they appear to be so insecure with their own sexuality.

(Sarcasm) And it's NOT a liberal position to teach children that the state is their parent...

However a homosexual Easter egg hunt is something I want no part of.

I'd be worried about where that last egg is hidden.

"please excuse the heterosexuals who commit child molestation" diatribes,

I've actually stayed on point...you on the other hand have to resort to broken record homosexual agenda talking points which you can't support. I'm not excusing any heterosexuals for committing child sexual abuse, you on the other hand are excusing and ignoring the hard facts that prove your friends who practice perversion are more likely to offend children sexually than those without parphilic disorder.

You don't like my username? WOW, I guess that outs you as a Bill Clinton fan...why am I not surprised?

And then what does my religion have to with this debate? I make it a point not use any religious arguments. I've only cited these things they call math and science in my arguments. You on the other hand are mentally unarmed and simply ignore those pesky little things called facts.

And exactly how am I a bigot or a racist again? You think the practice of perversion is somehow an innate characteristic? LOL

In your zeal to defend the honor of your friends who practice perversion it would help if you actually had something of substance to use to defend them. Usually when your kind has to resort to being the grammer nanny the argument is already over.

May I have your source for that 3% figure you posted. A few posts ago, it was only 2%.

the sons and daughters of gay parents

How do gay partners reproduce? These are not their children, but other people's children (including those they have "made" with third-party intervention.)

No, you're not. You're being called a "homonazi" because you resorted to attacking those that confronted you with facts. You called one member a "fundamentalist bigoted racist" tactics right out of the homoagenda playpook.

Here's another:..

"Thou doth protesteth too much"

And another:

I can only wonder why they appear to be so insecure with their own sexuality.

Care to spew any more?

Can you show me where I posted anything that said I had gay friends?? Why are you constantly referring to something that doesn't exist. I said I worked with gay people. Period. But, that doesn't fit into your gay bashing theme, does it?? You want to make this "up close and personal".

I'll wait until you find the posts about my gay friends. tick tock....tick tock. I'm STILL waiting............

And, btw, I think Slick Willie Clinton is a despicable human being. I voted against him BOTH times.........I just think you FReeper name is in bad taste.

Homosexuals comprise around 2% of the population, and around 35% of child molestation is same sex.

End of debate.
