On Sunday, November 9, a band of about 30 gays stormed a church in Lansing, Michigan. Some were well dressed and were stationed inside Mount Hope Church; others were outside dressed in pink and black. The group of self-described homosexual anarchists, Bash Back!, claims the evangelical church is guilty of “transphobia and homophobia.”
The protesters outside the church were beating on buckets, shouting “Jesus was a homo” on a megaphone and carrying an upside-down pink cross. Fire alarms went off inside the church, protesters stormed the pulpit and a huge rainbow-colored flag was unfurled with the inscription, “IT’S OKAY TO BE GAY! BASH BACK!” The church was vandalized, obscenities were shouted and worshippers were confronted. There were no arrests.
Catholic League president Bill Donohue addressed this issue today:
“The real story here is the refusal of the mainstream media to cover what is surely one of the most disturbing events of 2008. If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldn’t know about it.
“This is urban fascism come to America’s heartland. It must be quickly stopped before it gets out of control. We are contacting Mike Cox, the Attorney General of Michigan, calling for an investigation.”
Born gay, as gay as the wind blows
As gay as the grass grows
Born gay to follow your heart
Live gay and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you
Each time you look at a star
Stay gay, where no walls divide you
You’re gay as the roaring tide
So there’s no need to hide
Born gay, and life is worth living
But only worth living
‘cause you’re born gay
(Stay gay, where no walls divide you)
You’re gay as the roaring tide
So there’s no need to hide
Born gay, and life is worth living
But only worth living
‘cause you’re born gay
Technically, it is a spring baton:

A marvelous tool. My favorite model, when collapsed, just looks like a 7” dark steel tube that fits in a pocket. When extended, the double springs with a ball on the tip expand its length to 17”.
The ball delivers a tremendous amount of force to a small area. A person with one can clear their path through a crowd quickly.
Thanks.
Any idea how various states treat them vis a vis concealed weapon statutes?
You know if the roles were reversed this would be a total “hate crime”. It’s all liberal hypocracy.
Varies tremendously between States.
transphobia...I learn so many new words on FR.
You know, it's interesting. The findings of neuroscience have confirmed what sages have said for centuries: that every sin, vice, or weakness has both an "inborn" and a "behavioral" component. Some people have a genetic tendency toward aggressiveness, others toward sloth. Some are by innate temperament extra-irascible, and others extra-lustful or extra-gluttonous.
Though it's far from proven, it wouldn't surprise me at all if there were indeed some inborn tendency to same-sex attraction.
That doesn't mean "I'm gay, I'm OK, 'cause God made me that way." That means: "Welcome to the human race. You're flawed. And so are the rest of us."
Christianity has a highly realistic approach toward this innately-flawed business. The flaw is called "original sin," the condition is considered universal, and the solution is, you need to be born again.
This is Basic Christianity 101. Anybody should know this.
We don't "affirm" each other in our flaws, our twisted tendencies, our brokenness. Wr acknowledge our problem. We pray for the grace, through Almighty God, to pursue the battle and "carry our cross" every day of our lives, to be freed from our sinful tendencies and live a new life, one which is pure, God-pleasing, and blameless.
LITE BEER from MILLER.
Consider it boycotted.
Good to report it. The MSM will bury it but only sites like this can get the truth out.
Just as the MSM buries stories of homosexual rapists and killers such as those two a few years back kidnapped a boy from Arkansas and committed unspeakable crimes.
Simply more evidence of the Militant Homosexual Agenda once again at work.
We can expect them to become emboldened under the new Marxist regime.
Wasn’t there a story in the bible about how in Sodom & Gomorrah these same exact types sought to kidnap an angel of the lord...
LOL!
Ain't THAT the truth!
Good! I don’t deal with any of those corporations, anyway!
Gays need to toughen up . Christians have been mistreated for years. You don’t see them dressing up like pansys and attacking anyone.
Too true!
*snort*
Whos the tranny? Anybody we know?
Excellent post.
We’re all born sinners. Thus, one can say we all have inborn tendency toward sin. If some have an inborn tendency toward homosexuality, that just supports the Biblical view. That’s why homosexuals need Jesus, as do we all.
