We really, truly don't understand the American Family Association. And we have a feeling they don't, either!

The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission ain't too happy with Matt Foreman.

The gay activist got their goat last week when, while memorializing shot teen Simmie Williams Jr., Foreman insisted that people are not born homophobic, but are taught, including while at church. And now the CAC's out for figurative blood. Said spokesperson Reverend Gary Cass:

Foreman is guilty of gross Christian bashing, the very kind of bashing he says he opposes against homosexuals.

Radical homosexuals like Foreman are quick to exploit this tragic situation for their own political purposes and in order to bash Christians. Matt Foreman owes the ministers of Broward County an apology.

Faithful Christian churches must oppose homosexual behavior, just as they must oppose other behavior they consider to be sinful…

Cass then asks for proof that a pastor "has has ever suggested or condoned violence". The man's obviously not a big history buff…


Funny lady Ellen DeGeneres struck a somber note this week when she discussed the unfortunate murder of Lawrence King, who was shot by an allegedly anti-gay classmate.

» No Sunshine In Florida Attack

What the fuck's up with Florida? The Sunshine State has been on our radar for months now. We had Bob Allen wacky racist toilet trolling madness, Jim Naugle's robo-toilet insanity, today we wrote about Simmie Williams Jr's horrible shooting death and now we hear that Fort Lauderdale-based Melbourne Brunner got the shit kicked out of him for saying "Good Morning" to another man while eating with his partner. We're so not retiring there! [Towleroad]

Floridian 17-year old Simmie Williams Jr. found himself dead this weekend after being gunned down in a drive by shooting. Friends and police suspect hate may have been a motivating factor, for Williams often dressed as a girl and, in fact, was dressed to the nines at the time of his death:

Simmie Williams Jr., 17, was attacked on the 1000 block of Sistrunk Boulevard by two young men who wore dark clothing and might live in the neighborhood, police said. Williams, who was wearing a dress and was known in the area by his first name or as "Chris" or "Beyonce," was shot about 12:45 a.m. Friday and soon afterward died at Broward General Medical Center, police said.It's unclear what Williams was doing in the area, about four miles from his house, but police are investigating whether he was working as a prostitute, officials said.

Williams' mother said her son was openly gay, but she didn't know what he did when he went out at night, and she didn't know he wore women's clothes.

Broward County gay rights organizations are angry over Williams' death, of course but, as Equality Florida's Nadine Smith says, not surprised: "We can be horrified, but we cannot be surprised. Just 10 days ago, 15 year-old Lawrence King was gunned down in California." Isn't America supposed to be "the best" country in the world? Why, then, do we keep hearing stories of dead queer teenagers. This shit's really depressing!

We've also included the official EF press release after the jump…
