The Gaytheist Agenda

As if she hadn’t already had enough free speech when she spewed homophobic hate speech against LGBTs during a political speech, then again when CWA gave her free airtime to do it again. She now apparently needs another platform to parade her hate because LGBT people have had the audacity to speak up in their own defense. Shame on them!

WASHINGTON, March 31 /Christian Newswire/ — On Wednesday, April 2, Concerned Women for America (CWA) will join over 50 pastors in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to rally support for State Representative Sally Kern (R-Oklahoma City) and her right to free speech. Recently, Rep. Kern has been under attack from radical homosexual activists and their followers over remarks she made regarding the homosexual agenda. Rep. Kern took a Biblical stand against homosexual activism and has refused to back down from her statements despite receiving death threats.

What: Free Speech Rally for State Representative Sally Kern

When: Wednesday, April 2; 12:00pm Noon

Where: Rotunda of the Oklahoma State Building; 2300 N. Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City Oklahoma

CWA applauds Rep. Kern for continuing to be steadfast and resolute in this fight against the homosexual agenda and for shedding light on the threat it poses to our nation. Rep. Kern has been quoted as saying that the homosexual agenda is dangerous “because it destroys the basic moral fiber of this nation, which is traditional marriage and the traditional family.” She couldn’t be more right.

Matt Barber, CWA’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues, said, “There are certainly those who hate Rep. Kern. They’ve made that perfectly clear with vicious personal attacks and even death threats. But millions of Americans proudly stand alongside Sally Kern and say, ‘Thank you. Thank you for boldly standing your ground and for unapologetically defending Biblical Truth.’ They intended to make an example of her. They have, but not in the way they had hoped. She has set an example for millions of believers around the world. Her courage and refusal to deviate from God’s unequivocal condemnation of sexual immorality is serving to galvanize and embolden others. People say, ‘Well Sally Kern wasn’t intimidated, why should I be?’”

CWA of Oklahoma State Director, Linda Caswell, said “Rep. Kern has exercised her right to free speech and has spoken boldly about the effects of homosexuality on our families and on our nation. We strongly encourage everyone to come to the rally and show your support for Rep. Kern. Let others know that we will not back down from taking a Biblical stand on the moral issues facing our state and our nation today.”

Biblical stand on the moral issues facing our nation? I don’t suppose that means that CWA is going to come out anytime soon with a plan to fight poverty. After all the Bible has more than 100 verses admonishing it’s readers to help the poor, so I’d think CWA would be aware of the moral issue of poverty in America. Then again, poverty has nothing to do with the genitals of other people and doesn’t involve hating others while feeling morally superior but rather actual work and sacrifice so it’s highly unlikely they do.

Nonetheless I notice time and time again how they’re always “speaking the Biblical truth” when they call us the most heinous and hateful names, spread outright lies about us, and call for us to be treated like second-class (or worse) citizens. But when we take them to task for what they’ve said and demand our rights we’re engaging in “hate-speech”. Maybe if we threw a few Bible verses in it would change things. How about I try that (it may work even for an atheist).

 
Deuteronomy 5:20 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
1 Thessalonians 4:11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you.
Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Matthew 23:13 “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either.
Luke 6:37 Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn others, or it will all come back against you. Forgive others, and you will be forgiven.

 

In closing, I myself would love to attend this “Free Speech Rally” to peacefully make my outrage known but I’m too far away. If anybody in the area is able to do so I’d love to hear about it.

Addendum. A comment has arrived. Ebon said:

“Radical homosexual activists”? Since when does not wanting to be slandered count as “radical”? It seems that too many theocrats forget that the right to freedom of speech includes the right to response.

Oh dear, perhaps you aren’t familiar with the terminology (wink, wink). Christians are speaking The Truth, the Word of God, the Gospel and the Biblical Truth (or some other such variation). Gays are Advancing The Homosexual Agenda. Any time gays ask for whatever everybody else has they are demanding “special rights”. Christians are protecting their way of life, the Traditional Family/Traditional Marriage/The Heartland etc and do so by Spreading the Gospel/Word of God. Gays are Militant Homosexuals trying to force their ways on others through Indoctrination and other scary-sounding things.

Isn’t it all becoming more clear now? By the way, if you want to read more Alvin McEwin explains the anti-gay liars in depth here and in his most excellent book. Thanks for your comment and continued patronage!

I happened by this powerful response to Sally’s recent hateful rant and thought I’d share it with you. If nothing else, maybe the eyes of a single homophobe will be opened.

If you desire, you can go here and listen to Sally defend her rabid rant with Matt Barber, Concerned Windbags Women for America’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues. (I still can’t figure out why there are so many men in that organization.) Then Matt and Peter LaBarbera–that guy who likes to run around and film naked men at the Folsom Street Fair every year–cluck about how evil and mean those gays are for defending themselves against Sally’s bile.

Finally, Shep was kind enough to bring this to my attention via e-mail. It’s posted at Dispatches From the Culture Wars, and was originally found at Pam’s House Blend.

Rep Kern:

On April 19, 1995, in Oklahoma City a terrorist detonated a bomb that killed my mother and 167 others. 19 children died that day. Had I not had the chicken pox that day, the body count would’ve likely have included one more. Over 800 other Oklahomans were injured that day and many of those still suffer through their permanent wounds.

That terrorist was neither a homosexual or was he involved in Islam. He was an extremist Christian forcing his views through a body count. He held his beliefs and made those who didn’t live up to them pay with their lives.

As you were not a resident of Oklahoma on that day, it could be explained why you so carelessly chose words saying that the homosexual agenda is worst than terrorism. I can most certainly tell you through my own experience that is not true. I am sure there are many people in your voting district that laid a loved one to death after the terrorist attack on Oklahoma City. I kind of doubt you’ll find one of them that will agree with you.

I was five years old when my mother died. I remember what a beautiful, wise, and remarkable woman she was. I miss her. Your harsh words and misguided beliefs brought me to tears, because you told me that my mother’s killer was a better person than a group of people that are seeking safety and tolerance for themselves.

As someone left motherless and victimized by terrorists, I say to you very clearly you are absolutely wrong.

You represent a district in Oklahoma City and you very coldly express a lack of love, sympathy or understanding for what they’ve been through. Can I ask if you might have chosen wiser words were you a real Oklahoman that was here to share the suffering with Oklahoma City? Might your heart be a bit less cold had you been around to see the small bodies of children being pulled out of rubble and carried away by weeping firemen?

I’ve spent 12 years in Oklahoma public schools and never once have I had anyone try to force a gay agenda on me. I have seen, however, many gay students beat up and there’s never a day in school that has went by when I haven’t heard the word **** slung at someone. I’ve been called gay slurs many times and they hurt and I am not even gay so I can just imagine how a real gay person feels. You were a school teacher and you have seen those things too. How could you care so little about the suffering of some of your students?

Let me tell you the result of your words in my school. Every openly gay and suspected gay in the school were having to walk together Monday for protection. They looked scared. They’ve already experienced enough hate and now your words gave other students even more motivation to sneer at them and call them names. Afterall, you are a teacher and a lawmaker, many young people have taken your words to heart. That happens when you assume a role of responsibility in your community. I seriously think before this week ends that some kids here will be going home bruised and bloody because of what you said.

I wish you could’ve met my mom. Maybe she could’ve guided you in how a real Christian should be acting and speaking.

I have not had a mother for nearly 13 years now and wonder if there were fewer people like you around, people with more love and tolerance in their hearts instead of strife, if my mom would be here to watch me graduate from high school this spring. Now she won’t be there. So I’ll be packing my things and leaving Oklahoma to go to college elsewhere and one day be a writer and I have no intentions to ever return here. I have no doubt that people like you will incite crazy people to build more bombs and kill more people again. I don’t want to be here for that. I just can’t go through that again.

You may just see me as a kid, but let me try to teach you something. The old saying is sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you. Well, your words hurt me. Your words disrespected the memory of my mom. Your words can cause others to pick up sticks and stones and hurt others.

Sincerely

Tucker

I wonder if Sally Kern will have the nerve to respond to that letter. I doubt she will, however, as she is little more than a hateful coward with power and a big mouth.
