Anti-Gay Christianist Propaganda

I received yet another personal attack today by someone who apparently doesn't like the light of day being directed at the harm done to LGBT Americans by far right Christianists and their Mormon and Catholic allies who block legislation that would make LGBT Americans equal citizens. Coincidentally, the American Family Association has launched a new anti-gay jihad that illustrates my point about the bigotry and hateful actions of these false "Christians."

All too typically, AFA asks for money contributions to defeat the "gay agenda" as well. As Live Journal notes, the premise of AFA's campaign is that Christians are under assault by homosexualists, enabled by state and local governments and schools, to force them to accept LGBTs as -- gasp -- human beings deserving of civil rights! They are careful to mention "former homosexuals" and those struggling with "unwanted same-sex attraction" in order to soothe and absolve the target audience of "Christians" that their motivations are rooted in compassion, not bigotry. Here's the text of the ever delusional Don Wildmon promoting this latest anti-gay propaganda via Pam's House Blend:

Dear XXX,

*
Local network television stations will soon begin airing a new television special produced by the American Family Association. Most Americas get their information about the homosexual movement from the secular news media and Hollywood, which not only support but promote the gay agenda. What people know is tainted by pro-homosexual propaganda. AFA now presents this one-hour special to reveal the truth about the radical homosexual agenda and its impact on the family, the nation, and religious freedom. "Speechless" - the title of the television special - will air in the Grand Rapids area Monday, February 9. You can watch it locally at 7 p.m. on WOOD, channel 8.
*

The TV Special will reveal the truth about:

* The claim that homosexuals are born that way and cannot change.

* The negative impact on children resulting from schools promoting the gay lifestyle,

* Protected minority status for homosexuals.

* Same-sex marriage, and

* Legislative initiatives like Hate Crime and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

*

And, it will:

* Attack the major lies of militant gay activists head-on.

* Alert viewers about what's at stake for the family if they get what they want.

* Present helpful information to stop the radical homosexual political agenda.

Sincerely,

Tim Wildmon, President
