The 20 Most Frightful Anti-Gay Activists
Linda Harvey’s middle name should be “horrific”. This hate-mongering mama and friend of Alan Keyes has no qualms spouting ridiculously frightful anti-gay rhetoric, particularly when it comes to HIV/AIDS. The plague, of course, can be pinned on us gays. Says Harvey:
The major cause of HIV and AIDS in the U.S. has been and remains male homosexual behavior. The next largest transmission category is intravenous drug use, followed by high-risk heterosexual contact. This last group consists of people who have had sex with anyone who falls into the first two groups. If we eliminated homosexual male sex and intravenous drug use, HIV would be reduced by at least three fourths in this country. Both are unnecessary, chosen behaviors. Schools need to make sure this point is absolutely clear in the minds of every student in health education.
Harvey isn’t content on taking on the gays, but those who support the gays, too. Harvey says gay-friendly Christians have “distorted” God’s supposed word. And, what’s more, they’re not “compassionate,” but “heartless”.
Takes one to know one, lady.
Yes, Phyllis has a gay son who supports her ministry . Ditto for the gay son of Tim and Beverly La Haye.
The Canadian voices of spiritual violence were from the Roman Catholic hierarchy – now completely uberconservative reflecting the retirement and replacement of all liberals by the former and current pope. This majority voice was also joined by the fundamentalist and pentacostal voices in Western Canada.
We won the spiritual debate. How? Well, the Anglicans held the middle ground….but it was the United Church of Canada – who joined the MCC and many Quaker and Unitarian Universalist voices against these theocon luminaries who fought us in Canada…”so that they would not have to fight us in the streets of America” LOL
When Canada’s largest Protestant denomination was the loudest voice for LGBT marriage and civil rights, the secular activists – the pols and the jurists – could fight each other.
You do not fight the religious wrong with the legal right, but with the religious right…namely those who fight the theocons on their own turf.
