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.

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.

That reminds me, where is scripter? As one of his official lapdogs, I notice your posting are the same old tired scripts he directs you to post. Don't you sycophants get tired of doing his bidding?
Thanks, Phantom.
You're out of your mind. The homosexual agenda ping list has about 180 members.
The funny thing about your complaints is that they consist entirely of personal attacks. You have yet to produce one iota of evidence contradicting any of the facts I or anyone else has presented.
Standard methodology for those promoting homosexuality as normal and natural.
180??? HAHAHAHA, I can get that many people on a ping list of people who hate brussel sprouts. How pathetic.
"Oh, I didn't take your comment personally."
Glad you didn't. I was just confused because of what was posted early and then your post. I didn't realize it was just a post from you. When I went back to check some posts, I noticed Jim Robinson's name on many and and connected it to Fresno. Finally realized he posted the thread. I'm new but I'm learning.
I love the way all the homosexual agenda promoters say the exact same lines, some variation of:
"I know a lot of gays and they're all buttoned down conservatives who voted for Bush, loathe the idea of gay marriage, are monogamous, never visit bath houses, are not members of NAMBLA, GLSEN or ACT-UP, think no child should be indoctrinated about homosexuality in schools, never look at gay porn especially stuff that uses underage boys, and also never go to Thailand, Mexico or the PI to abuse boys. In fact, they are nicer and more harmless than your average heterosexual and in fact I would trust them to be Boy Scout leaders any day of the week."
I was merely pointing out that the Homosexual Agenda Ping list has more than a few members.
And I love how you anti gay types always presume that anyone who doesn't hate gays is by default is on the payroll of the gay agenda puppetmasters. There is no middle ground for you is there, you either hate them or you are one of them?
Let's see, 180 out of 200,000 members? And you were suggesting I should be kicked off FR because I didn't support your view of the homosexual agenda? You guys are nothing but a bunch of annoying pissants.
I do not hate homosexual people (or in other words, people who have Same Sex Attraction Disorder). What I hate are the lies promoted by radical homosexual activists and their assistants. One lie that I particularly loathe is the "gays are born that way and can't change". That lie dooms countless people, prevents them from seeking help, and the mainstream media which prevents that truth from being told is now the creature of the leftists and the homosexual activists, but I repeat myself.
I wish everyone entangled in the "gay" life well - I wish they would seek help, because it is available. They can change, and thousands have.
That it is a lie is your opinion not backed up by anything except a lot of articles posted on religious web sites that have their own agenda. You have no idea if they can change and if they want to, fine, but if they don't want to it's none of your damn business. It's one thing to be against some so called agenda, but why do you care or make an issue about people being gay. It is their business, not yours whether they choose to stay that way or change.
Again, you're out of your mind. There are many respected psychiatrists who treat homosexuals who are not happy with their sexual orientation, and they have helped many overcome their "gay" identity. To type all of them as "religious" is a patent lie.
Naturally the politicized professional associations do not like the fact that there are former homosexuals.
BTW, is Dr. Robert Spitzer a religious nut?
I used to be entirely tolerant of homosexuals. But when radical homosexual activists started politicizing their agenda, I started to take note. Maybe a couple of judges here and there decreeing that homosexuals can marry, or thousands of "Gay Lesbian Straight Alliance" clubs in high and middle schools teaching kids how to have gay sex, laws or judicial fiats demanding that transsexuals and homosexuals be allowed to teach children, unending attacks on the Boy Scouts to force them to allow homosexuals as Scout leaders, the demands to lower the age of consent to 14 or even lower, homosexual sensitivity training for all manner of jobs and even for adoptive and foster parents, and more are fine with you.
But they are not fine with anyone who understands the First Amendment.
So, now you are entirely intolerant of homosexuals. Thanks for finally getting honest. You've been denying this for a long time.
And as I keep pointing out, and you keep ignoring. Any homosexual who wants to change because he or she is unhappy with their orientation should try and do so. But, what you recommend is that every homosexual can and should try to change their orientation. My point is, leave them alone. They are not hurting you and they should not have to change for you. If you are against the homosexual agenda, fine; but don't take it out on homosexuals that just want to be left alone.

Good to see you still entertaining yourself with personal attacks on those who oppose the homosexualization of society... Not that there is anything wrong with a self defeating strategy -- Hopefully the dummycrats will continue with thier 'winning' strategy also -that of promoting safe sex that kills, homosexual sex that kills, and family planning that kills...
People are just dying for the leftist agenda...

I'm wondering if you're on drugs; you seem unable to converse in a rational manner. I am intolerant of the homosexual agenda, as described partially in my above posts. What people do behind closed doors (in their own homes, not public bathroom stalls) I don't know about, don't want to know about, and don't care about.
What I object to is the public mandated normalization of homosexuality, especially in schools.
