Perhaps one of the most frightful of the anti-gay activists, Peter LaBarbera of Americans For “Truth” has made it his mission to take on the “homosexual agenda”. And, as part of his work, LaBarbera regularly trolls leather and S&M events. Queer, right? Of all of LaBarbera’s anti-gay statements, however, one stands above the rest: his July 4th praise of “ex-gay” gay editor Michael Glatze:
Today, when Americans celebrate their freedom and independence, a man living in Canada is cherishing a more profound liberty — from spiritual bondage to homosexual sin. Michael Glatze, a former rising star in the “gay†movement — and co-founder of “Young Gay America†magazine — publicly “came out†of homosexuality.
…
Pray for this young man as we thank God for His gracious work in one repentant sinner’s life — a testimony of what He can do in this nation if we as a people humble ourselves, reject worldly agendas, and return to following Him.
Unfortunately, scads of scoundrels follow LaBarbera. In fact, he’s one of the most powerful anti-gay activists out there. Can you imagine anything more horrific than a world populated by LaBarbera’s homophobic masses? We can’t.
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.
