The Christian right's ongoing political campaign - against gay civil rights and same sex marriage, and especially in the accompanying rhetorical onslaught - has certain historical resonance with the persecution of homosexuals in the 1933 to 1945 period in Nazi Germany....

Let's look at that:

Nazis: made it mandatory for homosexuals to wear badges identifying themselves as gay.

Christians: Say it's wrong to identify yourself totally with your sexual appetites.

Nazis: Hold rallies and make speeches full of hatred against gays

Christians: Organize "Hope and Healing" conferences.

Nazis: Force gays into prisons, concentration camps, torture.

Christians: Provide compassionate care for AIDS patients (e.g. the Catholic Church is the largest provider of charitable services for AIDS sufferers in the world.)

Nazis: like their founder Adolph Hitler, wants homosexuals to experience despair, "no exit," death.

Christians: like their founder, Jesus Christ, want homosexuals (and all of us) to be restored to wholeness, to be transformed, to "have life, and have it more abundantly."

Yeah, that's historic resonance, all right...

Spectacular post !!!!!

I have been a proud member of and contributor to the Catholic League for many years. Bill Donohue has amassed a long list of influential clerics of many religions who are honest enough to vocally support Bill's innumerable examples of anit-Catholic bigotry in the media and especially in the "entertainment" industry.


God bless you and Merry Christmas,
