Alarmed by Islam, Europe's Gays Are Moving to the Right

For decades, in both America and Europe, the gay establishment – gay magazines, gay rights organizations, and self-designated gay leaders – have been dictating politics to the gay multitudes. Those politics have been consistently left-wing and Democratic. Not all gays have played follow-the-leader, but most have, so that in the 2016 U.S. presidential elections Hillary Clinton won a far larger percentage of the gay vote than Donald Trump.

Even though Hillary had opposed same-sex marriage until 2013, had taken millions of dollars from governments that execute homosexuals, and was married to the man who signed the Defense of Marriage Act, the gay mafia had managed to depict her as gay-friendly while depicting Donald Trump, a longtime gay marriage supporter, as an enemy of gay rights.

Even more perverse than the official gay take on Trump vs. Clinton is the official gay party line on Islam. To get a good picture of this party line, all you need to do is glance through the archives of The Advocate, a gay news magazine.

“Islam is not intrinsically homophobic,” wrote Trudy Ring in a 2013 Advocate report about Muslim “activists and scholars” who, she claimed, were making progress in their effort to make Islam “more welcoming to LGBT people.” In a 2014 piece, Stevie St. John promoted a Muslim lesbian's claim that the Koran “prescribes no punishment for being gay or transgender.”

True, but wildly deceptive: in fact, the Koran contains explicit condemnations of homosexual conduct, while the punishments for such conduct are spelled out in Islamic law. Then there's the 2017 Advocate article in which one Samra Habib happily noted that after the Orlando Pulse nightclub massacre, many news media eschewed anti-Islamic “finger-pointing” and instead “offered many queer Muslims a platform to share how they too were in mourning and how they often felt doubly ostracized” – victimized, in other words, by both “Islamophobia and homophobia.” Sponsored

Any whitewash of Islam is reprehensible. But when gays whitewash Islam in a publication read by other gays, it's downright dangerous. No ideology on Earth is more anti-gay. In ten Muslim countries, gay sex is punishable by death. To pretend that there's any way of reconciling homosexuality and Islam, or any chance of transforming Islam into a gay-friendly faith, is to encourage a menacing fantasy.

So it's promising to observe that as Islam plants its roots ever more deeply in the soil of Western Europe, more and more European gays are wising up, breaking ranks with the fools and liars in their midst who preach that the “gay community” and the ummah are natural allies, and casting their ballots for politicians whom they'd previously scorned.

The New Pecking Order: Muslims Over Gays

In April, for example, Thomas Adamson of the Associated Press reported that although gay rights groups in France had not wavered in their fierce opposition to Marine Le Pen's Front National (FN), the party now enjoyed a higher level of support among gay voters than among straights.

I am not sure if it will ever be enough, or if it is just too late.

[Hambone 1934]

Wait until they start marrying in public...HOLDING HANDS,KISSING IN PUBLIC...Muslims start tossing them off rooftops or stabbing them and marine le pen will win next election...

[Red Badger]

I would bet that a lot of gays are uninformed and ignorant of the acute danger that Islam is.................

[Red Badger]

In certain European cities, gays are already being beat up and possibly worse by Sharia patrols, even if they are not muslims...................

[I want the USA back]

Maybe they get it, but the left will gladly throw the gays off the nearest building if they stand in the way of the left’s love of power.

[Rusty0604]

A gay co-worker of mine told me he was going to an anti-Semitic pro Palestinian event. I told him that the Muslims were using him, and the first chance they got they would kill him. He actually thought about it and thanked me for telling him.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

It’s too late. A good friend of mine is a German born and raised, he lives in Frankfurt now and I asked him how it was going and you know what he told me? The country is lost, its over. It’s too far gone. They spent 20 billion Euros last year on the rapeugees and they are entering non stop. He said Sweden is utterly effed, that they will probably become the first Islamic State in Europe. It’s only got a population of 9 million and there’s 1.5 billion Muslims. The rapeugees will take that country over like an elephant stepping on a bug

[Red Badger]

That’s exactly what I was talking about. He was ignorant of the fact that Islam will kill him. He was under the impression that it was no different than Christianity or Judaism. The difference would have killed him.......................

[Gene Eric]

Islam is a war plan.

[Red Badger]

Not if they join our side and get armed under their 2nd Amendment rights...............

[rbg81]

LOL. I’ve been saying this for years. The Gays are useful idiots who will be the [second] group thrown under the bus to appease the Islamists (after the Jews, that is). There are far more Muslims than Gays.

[Red Badger]

To many, the religion of Islam is just another religion. They have no idea what danger they are in. If allowed to make an informed choice, they will........................

Bkmk

[miss marmelstein]

What a moron! The only country in the mideast that allows gays is Israel.

[JimRed]

Our homosexuals will be welcome on the right, if they keep it out of our faces and their hands off our crotches.

To many, the religion of Islam is just another religion.

Islam is NOT a religion, it is a murderous cult of barbarians who have one purpose: Make the world 100% Islam so that Mohamed can return.

To make the world 100% Islam, the peaceful Muslims:

Are required to kill infidels

Are required to harass infidels

Cannot be friends with infidels

Can rape, murder, take as slaves infidels

Muslims will rule the world if they are not stopped. Every Muslim must be removed from the west, all of them are threats to every non Muslim.
