Jeremy Hooper at Good As You (GAY) has a great post that exposes more of the nastiness which is a hallmark of the anti-gay Christianist set. Not only do they disparage LGBT citizens but they also mock our family relationships. The scene above is the handiwork of Peter LaBarbera who continually puts out knowingly untrue information - he once in an e-mail to me claimed ignorance of the bogus nature of Paul Cameron's work - and cares nothing for the harm that he and those like him do to the children of LGBT citizens. As Jeremy notes:*
No Pete, what Bre needs is for you to butt out of her life. Let her at least turn 18 before you exploit her existence for your own political gain! Or wait, Pete: Maybe we should go ahead and bring your wife and children into this here "culture war" mix. After all, it seems your newly enacted rules do not require one to have actually signed up for this gay rights fight in order to become fair game!

*Note: Unscrupulously enough, this is the very same family whose happiness was called into question by Focus on the Family back in February of this year.

Note2: We of course would never bring Pete's family into any of this. In fact, even though we may despise their gay rights views, we never call any of our opposition's home and family lives into question. And that, my friends, is but one of many differences between our two movements.

Don't you just love it when they turn on each other, lie, and backpedal? Here is a link to One News Now's article about Rick Warren and what he is now saying about Prop 8 - http://www.onenewsnow.com/Culture/Default.aspx?id=481280
I especially liked the part "...universal definition of marriage: one man and one woman, for life. And every culture for 5,000 years, and every religion for 5,000 years, has said the definition of marriage is between one man and a woman." I wonder if he has ever been out of the US? If he has, has he ever actually talked with local people? I have traveled all over the world and know this is not true. In Saudi Arabia for instance, polygamy is very common in the upper classes. In fact, you are looked down on if you only have one wife. Even in biblical times polygamy was common, as were concubines. They need to just get over it.
Just my two cents...

Michael, if Peter told you that he was not aware of the problems with Cameron work, then he is a bold faced liar.
I agree with you - he is a liar because at that point in time almost 20 years had passed since Cameron had been expelled from all legitimate mental health related associations and had been called a liar in a federal court opinion.
Sadly, LaBarbera is the norm for the anti-gay Christianists. They are liars, they know they are lying and yet they keep right on doing it.
