The Gaytheist Agenda

These puerile bumper stickers were being offered by Concerned Whackjobs Women for America at the recent CPAC.

 

If you have to work that hard to prove how “real” a man you are you’re obviously trying too hard to compensate for….something.

On another note, why is that woman out pimping those things anyway? Shouldn’t she be at home spawning for Jesus and serving her man as gawd intended?

Of course they’re already being held up as martyrs, as were their MA counterparts before them. But the plain fact is that Catholic Charities chose to end its foster care program in DC, just as CC in MA chose to cease adoption services in MA, because they didn’t want to obey laws every other agency is subject to. Nobody “forced” them to do anything.

The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington has ended its 80-year-old foster-care program in the District rather than license same-sex couples, the first fallout from a bitter debate over the city’s move to legalize same-sex marriage.

Catholic Charities, which runs more than 20 social service programs for the District, transferred its entire foster-care program — 43 children, 35 families and seven staff members — to another provider, the National Center for Children and Families. Tommy Wells (D-Ward 6), the D.C. Council member who chairs the Committee on Human Services, said he didn’t know of any problems with the transfer, which happened Feb. 1.
…..

So that’s that. Despite former threats that children would be left wandering the streets and DC would implode because of Teh Gays, the entire caseload is already being served by another agency. Granted it’s another “faith based” provider, but I suppose I can’t expect perfection. At the very least they show no overt signs of being as bigoted as their CC counterparts.

Edward Orzechowski, president and chief executive of Catholic Charities, the archdiocese’s social service arm, said the group is optimistic that it will find a way to structure its benefits packages in other social service programs so that it can remain in partnership with the city without recognizing same-sex marriage.

Asked if that meant looking at ways to avoid paying benefits to same-sex partners or ways to write benefits plans so as not to characterize same-sex couples as “married,” Orzechowski said “both, and.”
…..

Translation: Catholic Charities wants to flaunt the law and still keep taking taxpayer dollars–including those of the people whose rights they’re directly violating. So much for the “moral values” instilled by religion.

 

The new “whites only” basketball team in Agusta, GA, that is.

…..
The All-American Basketball Alliance announced in a news release Sunday evening that it intends to start its inaugural season in June and hopes Augusta will be one of 12 cities with a team.

“Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” the statement said.
…..

As if that’s not sick enough, here’s a quote from the team’s commissioner:

Don “Moose” Lewis, the commissioner of the AABA, said the reasoning behind the league’s roster restrictions is not racism.

“There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing,” he said. “I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”

Lewis said he wants to emphasize fundamental basketball instead of “street-ball” played by “people of color.” He pointed out recent incidents in the NBA, including Gilbert Arenas’ indefinite suspension after bringing guns into the Washington Wizards locker room, as examples of fans’ dissatisfaction with the way current professional sports are run.

“Would you want to go to the game and worry about a player flipping you off or attacking you in the stands or grabbing their crotch?” he said. “That’s the culture today, and in a free country we should have the right to move ourselves in a better direction.”
…..

Poor trod-upon, flawless white folk. They’re as oppressed as heterosexual Christians. I truly feel for them.

 

Warren’s Saddleback Church provides many worthy services like promoting hatred of LGBT people here and abroad. So now he begged his flock to pony up nearly a million dollars in just two days.

…..
Late Wednesday night, Warren posted a letter on his Saddleback Church website telling congregants that Christmas offerings were far less than anticipated.

“This is an urgent letter unlike any I’ve written in 30 years,” Warren wrote. “On the last weekend of 2009, our total offerings were less than half of what we normally receive — leaving us $900,000 in the red for the year, unless you help make up the difference today and tomorrow.”

…..

“Basically, the church is having to do more with less,” said A. Larry Ross. According to the website, 10% of the “church family” is out of work.
…..

I had a sick feeling that even without crocodile tears and a bogus claim that the Lord would take him if the money didn’t come in, he would still get what he asked and more. I was right. It seems the gullibility of some people knows no bounds.

…..
A year-end plea for $900,000 yielded $2.4 million for the Lake Forest mega-church led by Rick Warren, the evangelical pastor who gave the invocation at President Obama’s inauguration.
…..

In closing, I’d like to pass on this amusing and apt little poem by Hugh Kramer.

Baa, baa, slack-jawed sheep
My coffers can you fill?
Yes sir, yes sir,
$2.4 M. in the till.
Some for the pastor,
Some to praise his name,
And some for the anti-gay
political campaign…

I originally thought Merry Hyatt was just another person trying to cram Christianity into the CA public schools by force. It turns out that she’s also a Teabagger.

The Tea Party movement is supposed to be all about keeping the government out of your business. But if some California members get their way, the state will force public schoolchildren to sing Christmas carols.
…..
Merry Hyatt, a substitute teacher and member of the Redding Tea Party Patriots, is behind the push. The Record Searchlight reports:
…..
“We were having Christmas without Jesus,” Hyatt complained of her previous school district.

The initiative has the support of the local Tea Party Patriots president.

“Bottom line is Christmas is about Christmas,” said Erin Ryan, president of the Redding Tea Party Patriots. “That’s why we have it. It’s not about winter solstice or Kwanzaa. It’s like, ‘Wow you guys, it’s called Christmas for a reason.’ ”
…..

What can I say to such astounding ignorance and bigotry? Only a facepalm will do.

No, I’m not actually claiming that heterosexuality leads to sexual perversion. But if that headline made you bristle, just think about how LGBT people feel when we’re made the targets of specious attacks by people who seek only to harm us.

That being said, the story below is real. Don’t read on if the idea of man/cow sex acts and child sexual abuse make you queasy.

…..
A New Jersey judge has dismissed animal cruelty charges against a cop accused of committing a sex act with young cows, saying a grand jury had no way of knowing whether the animals were “tormented.”

Moorestown police officer Robert Melia, who is currently suspended, allegedly engaged in oral sex acts with five calves in Southampton in 2006.

Since New Jersey currently has no law explicitly banning such an act, prosecutors in Burlington county brought animal cruelty charges against Melia, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
…..
The judge’s dismissal does not mark the end of Melia’s legal woes.

He, along with girlfriend Heather Lewis, was arrested in April 2008 for sexually assaulting three girls over a five-year-period.

Authorities investigating those charges reportedly uncovered videos on his computer of a girl being “subjected to sexual activity” in addition to taped encounters between Melia and the calves.

Time for an industrial size bottle of Brain Bleach to get those images out of my head.

 

Says Ben Stein on The American Sphinctator:

…..
We have … an entire party, the Democrats, whose primary constituency, besides the teachers’ unions, is homosexual men and lesbian women. I hope it won’t come as a surprise to anyone that a big part of male homosexual behavior is interest in young boys.
…..

Poor Ben Stein, still pushing such ridiculous stereotypes. He must have stumbled across a clergy convention and become confused.

 

Thomas H. Gravely of West Virginia was accused of sexually assaulting three prostitutes. His defense attorney’s only argument? Prostitutes are whores and tramps, and “the willing cannot be raped”.

A jury found Thomas H. Gravely, 31, of East Bank guilty of sexually assaulting Charleston prostitutes, despite a graphic argument by his defense attorney that women willing to sell themselves for sex cannot be raped
…..
Ed ReBrook, Gravely’s defense attorney, called no witnesses. But he summed up his case in a dramatic closing argument to jurors during which he called the victims “tramps” and “whores.”

“You cannot rape the willing,” ReBrook said. “They got in those automobiles with the intention of having sex for money.

“I would be horrified if any of the women in my life were raped, but I’m talking about decent, honorable women,” ReBrook said, and then dramatically raised his voice. “Not whores who have sex with many, many men for money.”
…..
“They are not like your wife, your girlfriend or your daughter,” he said. “They are street tramps. And what happened to them was, at least in part, their fault.
…..

If we use ReBrooks’ train of logic one cannot rob a shopkeeper because s/he sells goods for a living. It matters not that someone held them at gunpoint and forced them to give up the contents of their till or merchandise. They willingly sell goods for money, so it’s at least partly their fault if they’re robbed.

Thankfully the jury didn’t fall for the line of bull, but it doesn’t negate the fact that it was a morally bankrupt ploy. ReBrooks does nothing to improve the public image of lawyers and certainly classifies as a “bottom feeder”.

 

Unlike the pro-equality side, which has used real Maine residents (not paid actors) for their ads, the anti-gays apparently can’t find enough bigots in Maine to volunteer for their ad campaign. So just like NOM did with their Gathering Storm, Stand for (Opposite Only) Marriage Maine will hire actors. Applicants must be adept at looking disgusted at the prospect of equality, and lying with a straight face.

Casting Director James Stiles is putting out the word that he’s looking for two “real Maine” women to appear in a television ad produced by supporters of traditional marriage.

Stiles is looking for a “teacher type” and a “working waitress type,” both in the 35-45 age range. If you want to try out, he’s holding auditions from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 2) at the Howard Johnson in South Portland.

If you’re hired, it’s a three day gig that pays $500 a day.

I imagine there are at least two Mormons in the Maine area looking for easy cash to sell out human rights.

 

A private, uber-religious convenience store in Chicago appears to have received a $1,000,00 state grant. Rob Sherman has the story:

Jubilee Market used to be a Christian-themed convenience store, located at 1676 West Ogden Avenue in Chicago, at the northeast corner of Adams (200 South) and Paulina (1700 West). Ogden runs diagonally through that intersection. The location is two blocks east of the United Center.

On May 8th, the store shut down because the owners, Reverends Walter and Mrs. McCray of Black Light Fellowship, ran out of money to operate their Christian convenience store.

On June 30th, the Illinois General Assembly, at Article 9, Section 2605, of the Capital Bill (see page 175 of the 996-page Bill), awarded Jubilee Market a grant of $1,000,000. One million of your tax dollars for a small, private, Christian-themed convenience store!

Last Friday, Godless in Chicago went to Jubilee Market to investigate why the General Assembly was giving a million of your tax dollars to a Christian-themed 7-Eleven type store.

Looks like The Lord The Taxpayers really did make a way somehow. But is it fitting for the taxpayers to be shelling out a million dollars so this guy and his wife (who already have a tax-exempt church) can be pushing religion along with cheese-puffs and soda pop in their for-profit venture?

I went back to my truck to leave. That’s when the phone rang. It was Reverend Walter McCray.

I told Rev. McCray who I was, that I wrote the Godless in Chicago blog for ChicagoNow, and that I was investigating why the State was giving Jubilee Market a grant of one million dollars.

“Is the store open?” I asked.

“I am there occasionally,” he replied.

“But is the store operating?”

“I ran out of money to operate the store due to the economic downturn.”

“What are you going to do with the million dollars?”

“My people said that I’m not allowed to talk about that.”

“Well, are you going to build a new place with the money or re-open here, and if you are going to build new, where are you going to build?”

“I’m not allowed to say.”

“Who is the legislator who sponsored the line item to give you the million dollars?”

“I’m not allowed to talk about that, either.”

“Is this store an extension of your Christian ministry?”

“I’m a reverend. Everything that I do is an extension of my Christian ministry.”

“Thank you for your time, Reverend McCray.”
…..
As far as Reverend McCray was concerned, it’s a secret as to how he is going to spend your tax dollars, and it’s also a secret as to who the sponsor was of the line item in the Capital Bill that would give him the money.

That’s not acceptable to me, and it shouldn’t be acceptable to you.

It certainly leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
