It's instructive to listen to the venom spewing from the mouths of the spokesmen and spokes women of the Christiansts over the repeal of DADT and then juxtapose that mindset with the message put forth in a video released by the mother of Seth Walsh, a 13 year old who committed suicide because of incessant anti-gay bullying. This exercise makes it all the more obvious that the foul version of Christianity peddled by self-enriching, whore like parasites such as Maggie Gallagher, Tony Perkins, James Dobson - the list is lengthy - bear a direct responsibility for the toxic atmosphere that allows anti-gay bullying to continue to flourish. Sadly, the "family values" groups trumpet a message that says that anyone who is not a white, professing conservative Christian, and native born American is only worthy of contempt and ridicule. Indeed, these "other" constitute a threat to Christianists' special privileges that unfortunately are still too wide spread in the nation's laws, the media, and other realms of society. Here are highlights from the Advocate on the video and then part of the video itself:
*
The mother of a 13-year-old boy who committed suicide after being taunted and teased for being gay has taken to YouTube to plead for schools to stop antigay bullying. The video, released last week by the American Civil Liberties Union, shows Wendy Walsh reading her son Seth’s suicide note.
*
“Mom ... thank you for having me. It’s been a pleasure,” Walsh said, reading from the note. “I know this will bring you much pain, but I will hopefully be in a better place.” The video ends with Wendy Walsh describing the day she found Seth hanging from a plum tree. Eight days later, doctors declared Seth brain-dead.
*
*
Maggie Gallagher, James Dobson, Elaine Donnelly, Robert Knight - all of the professional Christian/haters bear reponsibility for Seth Walsh's death just as surely as if they had helped physically place the noose around his neck. They deserve to be reviled and called out for their deadly handiwork. In my view, they are the ones who deserve to burn in Hell.
