Robert Knight Has Vapors Over Obama Pride Proclamation

Over the years since coming out I have had some unique experiences corresponding with some of those who in my opinion represent the most insanely anti-gay among the Christianists. My role with Wayne Besen in exposing high profile "ex-gay" Michael Johnston as a fraud put me in the firing line and led to a number of personal attacks - sometimes by name such as on Townhall.com - but among the most unhinged I communicated with (and the one who struck me most as a self-hating closet case) was Robert Knight who at that time was with Concerned Women for America. I one e-mail exchange I even suggested that Knight get in contact with Johnston or John Paulk so that they could recommend some cruising spots to him. He was not amused. :) Now, all too predictably, Knight is hyperventilating over President Obama's signing of a proclamation recognizing June as LGBT Pride month. Here is some of Knight's spittle flying blather from OneNewsNow (Note how he uses the "men in dresses" red herring yet again):

*

For the first time in history, a U.S. president has issued a White House proclamation celebrating transgenderism -- along with homosexuality, lesbianism, and bisexuality.
*
In his June 1 "Pride Month" proclamation, Barack Obama boasted of appointing Senate-confirmed openly homosexual nominees to high executive offices, described reluctance to accept homosexuality as "discrimination and prejudice," and called for passage of the entire homosexual political agenda, including programs for "LGBT youth."

*

The president's proclamation calls for: . . . Recognition of transsexuals and transvestites as a civil rights category on a par with race, ethnicity, place of birth, or sex. This means that men who dress as women would obtain more rights under the law than other Americans and could force employers to accommodate them, regardless of the impact on the workplace. A male school bus driver in Pennsylvania, for instance, showed up for work dressed as a woman and claimed that he had the right under a state law to do so, regardless of the impact on the children.
*

When traditional sexual morality is redefined as "discrimination and prejudice," the law will be used to criminalize biblical Christianity. Children will be taught in schools that God's plan for marriage and sexuality is merely a form of bigotry and that "trying out" homosexuality will be a rite of passage. The volunteer military will be shaken to its roots, putting recruitment and retention at risk. The stakes are enormous for our churches, our nation, our children and grandchildren.

Knight like so many of the professional Christian set has not had a real job in many, many years and has made a career out of disseminating hate and bigotry against other citizens. All because - at least in my opinion - he has severe issues with his own sexuality. No one gets this hysterical unless there are other issues behind the scenes. As I have said before, Robert, go hire yourself a hot escort and get over your self-loathing. Oh, P.S. - Robert, I still have all the old e-mail exchanges.
