Robert Knight Hyperventilates Over Gay Marriage Ruling

Homophobe extraodinaire and Christianist fanatic, Robert Knight of the Media and Culture Institute - another Christianist organization with a name formulated to give it an air of legitimacy since somehow the "Christofascsit Institute," while most apt and descriptive, would not accomplish the Christianist PR goal of duping the unwary - is having a much anticipated spasam and coniption fit over the California Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.

I have had e-mail exchanges with Knight in the past and he is so incredibly obsessed with homosexulaity (it borders on hyteria) that in my opinion he's another self-hating closet case like Peter LaBarbera a/k/a "Porno Pete," who seems to always go "under cover for research" at gay leather events. Since Knight cannot resolve his own obbsession with gay sex with his crazy religious beliefs, therefore, all other gays most be punished and made less than full citizens. Besides belittling the Court's ruling and reasoning since anything Knight dislikes involves a "straw man arguments" and/or "judicial lawlessness and arrogance," he rants about the media because it doesn't report solely the screeching rants of the Christianists in conection with the decision. Here are some highlights of Knight's rantings:

*

The TV news networks and other major media followed the typical gay script in reporting the California Supreme Court’s 4-3 ruling Thursday striking down the voter-approved marriage law and presumably creating “gay marriage” in the Golden State.

*

ABC, NBC and CBS all featured clips of happy homosexual activists, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome, and very brief comments from a pro-family spokesman. Only CBS identified Newsome as a Democrat, while CBS and NBC identified Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Republican and ABC described him as a McCain supporter. *

In announcing the decision, ABC’s Charles Gibson said: "Today's 4-3 ruling by the California Supreme Court is clear and it is historic. Gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to marry in California. There’s been a ban on same-sex marriage in that state. The court today said that ban violates the “fundamental constitutional right to form a family relationship.” The court actually said that the law defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman was “unconstitutional.” By spinning same-sex marriage as a constitutional “right,” Gibson gave the impression that the “ban on same-sex marriage” was an injustice that needed overcoming

The media script for gay rulings or votes is simple: 1) Report the outcome, often in a triumphant or scolding tone 2); interview happy or sad gay proponents, depending on whether they’ve won; 3) expand on the outcome; 4) include a speed bump comment with an “opponent”—but only on procedure, nothing that might get people excited; 5) return to triumphal gay spokesperson; 6) speculate on next move.

As I have told him before, Knight needs to contact Michael Johnston or one of the other phony "ex-gays," get himself some hot M2M action, find a different religious denomination and leave the rest of us alone. Some time in legitimate therapy might not be amiss either.
