Commemorating International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia

Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC

May 16, 2014

Today of all days, we are reminded that the cause of justice can and must triumph over hatred and prejudice. This is a day of action for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities and their allies all over the world. It is time to reaffirm our commitment to the equality and dignity of all persons, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

It’s not lost on anyone that this year’s International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) coincides with the 60th anniversary of the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. Our commitment to advancing the human rights of LGBT persons is part of this country’s long history of fighting to ensure that all people can exercise their human rights.

We have seen incredible progress in the fight to advance the human rights and fundamental freedoms of LGBT persons.

And the United States is proud to be doing its part. This past week, we convened religious leaders and representatives of faith-based organizations to think about how we work together to promote and protect the human rights of LGBT persons. Next week, we will convene meetings with our private sector allies to discuss the important role of the business community in promoting equality and the ways we can partner through the Global Equality Fund.

But this must be more than a moment to celebrate how far we have come. We know that our work is not complete when countries enact laws targeting LGBT persons and their supporters. We know that our work is not complete when LGBT persons and their allies are harassed, arrested, and even killed simply because of who they are and who they love.

The United States condemns these senseless acts of violence and discrimination. Human rights are universal, and LGBT persons and their allies must be free to exercise them without fear of intimidation or reprisal.

When our LGBT brothers and sisters are threatened anywhere, it is a threat to freedom, justice and dignity of people everywhere. The United States will continue to protect and promote the human rights of LGBT persons worldwide this day and every day. Onward.

A lot of people were Trans-phobic back in the day.

[Walrus]

Hey, Kerry!

It absolutely IS “lost on” me what Brown vs. Board of Education has to do with sexual perversion.

Asshat.

[tomkat]

Within the cornucopia of reasons for revulsion since ‘08, this travesty ranks right the hell up there.

[freedumb2003]

Unless and until the gays and trannies come out en masse to fight Tapinophobia, I will ignore their mewing.

[freedumb2003]

>>“Transphobia”

Wasn’t that an album by The Who?<<

I think it had the song “Bill O’Reilly” with that lyric:

“Don’t cry, don’t raise your eyes
It’s only liberal wasteland...”

[Yosemitest]

Enough with these VILE people.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

Ship of fools indeed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

There you go AGAIN glorifying most everything BUT God.

What does demons in fire, or George Washington, have to do with the answer to all this?

All are sinners on this globe, you too.

If you try to hide behind the sins of the “reprobates” you are only a reprobate too.

And twisting scripture to pull the Hebraic covenant over Christendom is no better.

I have given my life to Christ. And I am winning victories because of it. How about you?

[tflabo]

Homosexuality will NEVER be ‘right’ in the eternal truth from The Creator. A zillion Lurches with their PR pleas could never make it otherwise.

[JimRed]

Phobia means fear. It is NOT fear, it is the NORMAL DISGUST that we feel for their behavior. Normal, the new “N” word!

[Ancient Wonderboy]

MY tax dollars paid for some idiot to sit and write this absurd blather, and yet others to “approve” it and publish it ????????

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bigg Red]

Transphobia.

***
No, it’s the fear of moving forward, comrade.

(Cf. the USSR Stalin era “Forward!” posters.)

[Telepathic Intruder]

Change for the sake of change. What can go wrong?

[Bigg Red]

Yes, you did, Joe. But there were just too many fellow travelers in politics.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

homophobic

I'm not afraid of packers, but I don't like boy-raping child molesters nor hepatitis.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

It is NOT fear, it is the NORMAL DISGUST that we feel for their behavior.

Let's counter with the term "Homorevulsion"...that ought to get their hackles up.

HOMOREVULSION!

[Terry L Smith]

62 years strong, don’t like queers, and not looking back!

[Yosemitest]

You refuse to believe that Jesus was also LORD of the Old Testament, that He did NOT do away with the Law, and clearly states how to handle homosexuals.

When will you stop being deceived by Satan ?

Homosexuals have been "MARKED" by God and we have been COMMANDED on how to do justice to them.

Now GO ... and ... OBEY GOD !

[Yosemitest]

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph.

" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfaction—
and the homosexualist knows it,
for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE
—to the declared and impenitent homosexual,
the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,
has identified his person with a sin,
whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SIN
through "love,"
or VINDICATION
THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS.
Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,
what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCE
not of the person,
but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person.
HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY that
THERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,
and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven.
This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,
WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,
and whose indelible constitution
places ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect man
AT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "

There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
The WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !

International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia

If I took a freak pervert to lunch qualify me as being sensitive and a good politically correct zombie?
Let me see if I can find one.

Rats!
It's too late today.
That really tears me up.
