Transgender Protections Passed in Massachusetts

2011-11-16T20:28:00.002-04:00

Despite the lies told by the Massachusetts Family Institute and MassResistance, a bill to protect transgender citizens from discrimination in the workplace, housing and education passed the House and the Senate.

Mass Family Institute (MFI) dubbed the bill "the Bathroom Bill" and brought up the typical "What about the children" propaganda to try and stop the bill. Even now they keep stating that the bill is for "special rights" the same argument they tried to make for denying same sex couple marriage when in reality they are just biased against GLBT people no matter what the reason.

Can't wait to read what MassResistance has to say about this now since evertime they speak people are amazed at what they have to say!

MassResistance Continues to Read Minds

2011-11-09T19:00:00.004-04:00

I just got through reading MassResistance's latest rant about a hearing held two weeks ago on an anti-bullying bill and it's HILARIOUS! The feeble mind that put together that screed is seriously distraught. For example, when a mother, who son committed suicide because of bullying, testified, they listed her as an "activist mother". However when some guy testified for MassResistance's ridiculous appeal of the last anti-bullying bill, he is listed as a "father", no mentioned of how his children might have been bullied (or are bullies? Who can tell?)

The really funny part of their observations is when Brian Camenker gave testimony:

We not only told the committee the truth, as opposed to the lies and misrepresentations they'd been hearing. But we also brought up a lot of things they hadn't ever heard before about this bill (and their reaction showed that). Most of them seemed to be listening carefully. Several of the committee members actually thanked us for our testimony, and asked us questions to elaborate on what we had said.

Now where did I read that before...flashback to Brian Camenker talking about his appearance on the Daily Show:

Camenker said that while his argument against gay marriage may not have been convincing in the footage that was aired, he may have changed some hearts and minds among the ''25-year-olds from New York City who naturally are all pro gay marriage."

''They were moved by what I said about the subject," Camenker said. ''They didn't use 99 percent of my stuff. But the arguments I said, you could tell they were visibly moved, and that I was saying things they hadn't heard before."

Of course this isn't the first time MassResistance has been able to read the minds of the people they are up against.

Hey all, it's been awhile since I've updated but wanted to send you a few news bits that have come my way. You might have seen many of them:

Another youth has tragically taken his life because of anti-gay bullying and the "Christians" are silent.
Teaparty Boos American Solider in Iraq and Rick Santorum says NOTHING. Later on he rebukes the booers and claims he didn't hear them (even while pausing in his response) and then even later he rebukes his condenation of the booers!
MassResistance tries again: Once again MassResistance is trying to put anti-gay laws on Massachusetts' books. This time they are using David Parker's name and image to try and get it passed. Of course, as usual MassResistance lies in all it's PR for the bill claiming that David Parker was arrested for standing up for his parental rights when in face he was arrested for failing to leave school grounds when requested by police.
Scott Lively, is being honored by Peter LaBarbera's American's for Truth about Homosexuality in Illinois in Oct. Lively is know for blaming homosexual for the Nazi Germany in his book "The Pink Swastika" and for supporting the anti-gay rhetoric in Africa which spawned the bill calling for the execution of homosexuals.
Maggie Gallagher stepped down from the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) to run the Marriage Anti-Defamation Alliance because they are being denied marriages now that the gays are marrying...wait no. She started this organization because young straight kids were being bullied to death for being straight...wait no, that's wrong too. She claims she's being victimized for her stance for advocating discrimination against gay couples who only want to marry.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell was officially Repealed!

MassResistance Has Another Success!

2011-06-25T09:30:00.002-03:00

MassResistance, always eager to tout their own brilliance and intellect, has another success to add to their list: Marriage Equality in New York State:

ALBANY, N.Y. — Lawmakers voted late yesterday to legalize same-sex marriage, making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born.

The pictures of New York remind me to those days (and nights) at the State House here in Massachusetts. The anti-gay side, like in Massachusetts, tried anything to keep the State discriminating against gay and lesbian couples. In the days leading up to the vote there were large groups of people "praying" it wouldn't come to pass. So I guess God spoke and said NO. They even trotted out the "ex-gays" to sidetrack it and it didn't work.

But here in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, we can all look to MassResistance and thank them for doing their part. They were in the trenches working with the rightest of the anti-gay right doing their thing:

The legislative session is scheduled to end on Monday, but as reported above, the Governor and his liberal allies will likely extend it for this bill. We are in close contact with "pro-family" advocates and will keep you updated on this. Also see our special
MassResistance page on the New York marriage battle, which we plan to update frequently until the session ends..

And surprise, surprise, when you click on the link there is no mention of the fact that they lost and marriage equality is the law in New York. MassResistance: always full of promises and never delivers.

I am reminded of Brian Camenker's appearance on the Daily Show when he seriously stated that given enough time he could link marriage equality with decreased quality of life, homelessness, air quality and crime rates only now it's becoming clear that in every successful step toward Marriage Equality, MassResistance has been in close contact with the anti-gay groups. As he said in a Boston Globe article about his appearance on the show:

Camenker said that while his argument against gay marriage may not have been convincing in the footage that was aired, he may have changed some hearts and minds among the ''25-year-olds from New York City who naturally are all pro gay marriage."

''They were moved by what I said about the subject," Camenker said. ''They didn't use 99 percent of my stuff. But the arguments I said, you could tell they were visibly moved, and that I was saying things they hadn't heard before."

Yes Brian, you changed MANY hearts in New York. Once again, keep up the good work!

MassResistance's Hands are all over New York

2011-06-17T15:33:00.002-03:00

MassResistance is claiming to be in the middle of the marriage equality battle in New York State:

A Senate vote is expected to take place today or Friday. We've been in constant contact with key Orthodox Jewish activists, who have used our MassResistance material on "What Same-Sex 'Marriage' did to Massachusetts" in State House lobbyng. Can our side hold the line?

Of course MassResistance is still pulling out all the stops with the scare tactics about marriage equality, of course there no mention of Massachusetts having the lowest divorce rate in the country. One of the lies they're touting:

By the following year it was in elementary school curricula. Kindergartners were given picture books telling them that same-sex couples are just another kind of family, like their own parents. In 2005, when David Parker of Lexington,
MA – a parent of a kindergartner – strongly insisted on being notified when teachers were discussing homosexuality or transgenderism with his son, the school had him arrested and put in jail overnight.

If you click on the first link it's about the book "Who's in a family" and talks about all different types of families, no mention of marriages in this book. Then they bring up Mad Dad David Parker who held up in an elementary school knowing full well that if he didn't leave he would be arrest, Parker LOVES to play the martyr.

It’s become commonplace in Massachusetts schools for teachers to prominently display photos of their same-sex “spouses” and occasionally bring them to school functions. Both high schools in my own town now have principals who are “married” to their same-sex partners, whom they bring to school and introduce to the students.

MassResistance LOVES the quotation marks. They want same sex married couples to hide in the closet. Wants the teachers to lie to their students about their marriages and wants them to be second class citizens by not allowing them to talk about their families, that's right, their LEGAL families. Oh the horrors!

The wedding industry is required serve the homosexual community if requested. Wedding photographers, halls, caterers, etc., must do same-sex marriages or be arrested for discrimination.

Another lie, no one has been arrested or will be. Where do they get this shit?

Their list goes on and on with one ridiculous accusation after another and of course, ends with how these marriages are not really legal (did Brian Camenker or Amy Contrada ever go to law school?

The only thing that's changed in Massachusetts since marriage equality went into effect is that MassResistance is now labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for their attacks on the LGBT community. They never had crediblity but they never lost that, except that now the right wing fringe lunatics picked up their rants and post them in obscure part of the country.

What did Same Sex Marriage do to Massachusetts? Make Brian Camenker a laughing stock across the country.

Swimming Pool - Straights Only

2011-06-15T17:00:00.004-03:00

This news sickens me:

Activists in Kentucky are planning a peaceful response after two gay men with developmental and intellectual disabilities were kicked out of a public pool.

A maintenance technician reportedly cited the Bible while telling the two men they couldn't swim at The Pavilion, a government-funded recreational facility in Hazard, Kentucky.

"We own this place and can tell you to leave if we want to," the couple was told, according to the Kentucky Equality Foundation

"The Pavilion staff immediately entered the pool area and asked my clients and their staff to leave the Pavilion," Mending Hearts Executive Director Shirlyn Perkins recalled. "My staff asked The Pavilion staff why they were being asked to leave, and they were informed that 'gay people' weren't allowed to swim there."

The scary thing is that it is probably legal to discriminate against gay people in Kentucky even if you pay taxes because I do not believe Kentucky has a law banning discrimination against LGBT citizens.

Red Sox to Produce "It Gets Better" Video

2011-06-06T11:13:00.004-03:00

This is wonderful news:

"The Red Sox organization takes the issue of bullying seriously," team spokeswoman Leah Tobin released in a statement. "It is something that has touched many of us and those we love, and it is a growing problem in our community. We are proud of dedicated Red Sox fans like 12-year-old Sam Maden who have taken the courageous step of publicly standing up against bullying of LGBT youth."

I wonder how long it will take until MassResistance starts vilifying 12 -year old Sam Maden?

Macy's and Pride

2011-05-31T17:29:00.006-03:00

As June descends upon us tomorrow, I'm reminded of that Pride, not so many years ago when MassResistance complained to Macy's because of their transgender mannequins...yes, they said Macy's had transgendered mannequins and even took pictures of other mannequins in the store to compare and contrast. Macy's caved and gave into the crazy group only to find out how really crazy they really were and faced a HUGE backlash. Macy's made up for their faux pas and has continually supposed the LGBT community. This was more than evident in the ad below which I found in Out Magazine:

Of course, MassResistance wouldn't dare suggesting a boycott because they are powerless. No one even cares what they have to say anymore.

UPDATE: I was wrong, MassResistance IS suggesting another boycott because Old Navy is selling T-shirts celebrating LGBT Pride:

FIGHT BACK!
Old Navy REALLY needs to hear from as many of you as possible. It won't take you long, but will be effective. Let them know you will NEVER shop in their stores EVER, and you will spread the word.

Hey Old Navy! Call Macy's and ask them how MassResistance's boycott worked out. LOL

MassResistance Takes Credit for the Sun Rising and Adds Another Success?

2011-05-24T15:01:00.006-03:00

Well, it's possible, you see MassResistance is now taking credit for Kevin Jennings leaving his job in the Department of Education in JULY. Of course he was bound to leave his post at some point and since many people in the first term of an administration leave before their term is up, forget that! MassResistance is taking credit because their "online petition" was, I don't know, ONLY STARTED 18 MONTHS ago!

Over the past eighteen months MassResistance has waged a battle in get Congress either to have Jennings' office defunded, or have him removed. We compiled and posted a large report of Jennings' activities going back decades-- most of which MassResistance uncovered. In addition we've gathered over ten thousand signatures from across America on our online petition. And we've been communicating with various key Congressmen and their staffs, as well as other Washington DC insiders, to push this as hard as possible...

...THANK YOU to everyone across the country who signed our petition and who helped get the word out. Getting Kevin Jennings out of the Dept. of Education is a great victory for all Americans!

And who do you think is picking up their story? Why all the crazy "pro-family" "news" on the web:

World Nut Daily
The Right Side News (really?)

I wonder what MassResistance will claim credit for now? They never even got those signatures that they said they were definitely going to get to overturn the 1913 law in Massachusetts and I believe they're still claiming they're going to be back on the radio some time soon...yeah, right!

Focus on the Family - Losing on Marriage

2011-05-24T13:55:00.002-03:00

The new head of the Focus on the Family, Jim Daly, had this to say about same sex marriage:

We're losing on that one, especially among the 20- and 30-somethings: 65 to 70 percent of them favor same-sex marriage. I don't know if that's going to change with a little more age—demographers would say probably not. We've probably lost that. I don't want to be extremist here, but I think we need to start calculating where we are in the culture.

So some of the anti-gay right are finally starting to see the writing the wall. In the article he also talks about getting their own marriages in order before they start attacking others. This also makes perfect sense especially for all those people claiming to "defend marriage" while divorcing like crazy, cheating on their spouses and trying to tear apart other families.

It's the End of the World as We Know It

2011-05-19T09:53:00.003-03:00

Yep! According to a "pro-family" organization like MassResistance, the World is going to end on May 21, 2011, oh, at 6 PM:

Harold Camping, the 89-year-old Christian evangelist from Oakland, Calif., whose Family Radio broadcasts are heard in 61 languages, doesn't just think that Judgment Day will come Saturday. He guarantees it.

"It is absolutely going to happen," said Camping, who has determined after five decades of studying Scripture that May 21 marks the beginning of the end. "We do not have a Plan B at all. There is no possibility that it will not happen, because all of our information comes from the Bible.

People are going to be risen and the heathens will be left on earth to deal with earthquakes and explosions that will last until the final doomsday sometime in the fall. Wouldn't you think God would want to get it over and done with all at the same time? Hasn't God heard of multi-tasking, you know, raise up the Christians and abolish the rest of the earth all at the same time because apparently, according to Camping, God is doing it by time zones, so no lines no waiting at the gates of Heaven.

All this news reminds me of the episode of "6 Feet Under" when some guys filled blow up dolls with helium and then released them. When a "Christian" saw the dolls going up into the air she ran towards them to be risen and was hit by a car and killed. I guess she got her wish!

Sex Abuse Crisis DECREASED as Gay Priests Began Serving

2011-05-18T09:11:00.004-03:00

A study commissioned by the Catholic Church concluded:

The sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic Church was caused by the influence of sweeping social changes and increasing “deviant behavior’’ of the 1960s and 1970s on priests who were inadequately trained, emotionally unprepared, and isolated, according to a new report commissioned by the nation’s Roman Catholic bishops.

Researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the City University of New York, who spent five years conducting the most expensive and extensive study of sexual abuse in the Catholic church to date, concluded that homosexual priests were no more likely to abuse than heterosexual priests.

If you recall Santorum and the anti-gay loonies were blaming gay priests for all the molestation when it appears that:

The report notes that homosexual men began entering the seminaries “in noticeable numbers” from the late 1970s through the 1980s. By the time this cohort entered the priesthood, in the mid-1980s, the reports of sexual abuse of minors by priests began to drop and then to level off. If anything, the report says, the abuse decreased as more gay priests began serving the church.

Another MassResistance Candidate Goes Down in Flames

2011-05-16T08:30:00.005-03:00

Last week MassResistance was practically falling over themselves for "the real thing":

Candidate Jim Dixon, a Republican, is the real thing -- we can't stress that enough. He's a true conservative, a Tea Party guy, a solid Catholic, and very smart. He's also a Navy veteran and a commercial pilot. You can find out more about him at his campaign website. Getting a guy like him in the Legislature would be wonderful. He will help change Massachusetts back to normal.

Of course, MassResistance has NO IDEA was normal even is! Well, this Tea Partier got beat by a truly normal guy:

According to results released by Waltham City Clerk Russ Malone, Lawn won Waltham by a 987-624 margin, a difference of roughly 22 percent. In Newton, Lawn edged Dixon 374-145, taking about 72 percent of that city's vote. And in his hometown of Watertown, Lawn earned a whopping 82 percent of the vote, besting Dixon 453-99.

Massachusetts needs MassResistance to keep vouching for candidates then we all win!

Luckily MassResistance still has the Article 8 domain!

2011-05-10T12:45:00.002-03:00

Well, Massachusetts has a new person on Mass Supreme Judicial Court, she's a woman, a mother and just happens to be a lesbian and is MassResistance is having a conniption fit!

First it started with all their anti-gay testimony at the hearing for the new justice. Me thinks Brian Camenker is probably more upset that Sally Naumann is getting more press than his ridiculous rant trying to link Lenk to the "Falsettos" production in Concord (Remember, if given enough time he can link gay marriage to bad air quality, homelessness and any other myriad of issues plaguing Massachusetts)

Sally Naumann is probably best remembered for her "testimony" at the State House when she wanted the legislators to know that gay people were responsible for the Holocaust and waved her copy of the Pink Swastika at them. Then she wanted the Concord town to admonish the school for producing "Falsettos", we know how that turned out.

Now she's writing into the Boston Globe claiming to speak for the other bigots in Massachusetts who have yet to show their face or raise their voices:

THE GLOBE’S elitist and condescending editorial condemning my testimony at the Barbara Lenk hearing was certainly predictable (“Decision on Lenk should focus on her record, not her sexuality,’’ April 29). But I speak for countless parents across the Commonwealth. And, yes, the Governor’s Council needed to hear it.

Parents are sick and tired of the homosexual indoctrination process in the public schools, which now reaches into kindergarten with homosexual-themed story books and into middle schools with the setting up of gay-straight alliance clubs.

Lenk’s elevation to the Supreme Judicial Court would only serve to accelerate the homosexual indoctrination. Lenk prominently appeared in the homosexual-themed magazine Boston Spirit as an “openly gay’’ judge who was described as helping to “create a shift in the culture.’’ Her same-sex marriage reinforces a right invented by activist judges repudiating thousands of years of Western culture. She will be used as a new role model for schoolchildren, and we can expect more anti-family judicial activism down the road.

I testified before the council that the notion that one is born gay is a myth. But the Globe’s editorial assertion that homosexual behavior is like being black or Asian has become the party line.

We need less of this nonsense, not more of it.

How bonkers is that? It's horrible that Lenk was in a gay business magazine! HORRORS! I guess Sally thinks Lenk should be ashamed of herself and keep silent, sorry Sally, it ain't happening and is never going to happen, ever hear of Stonewall?

As for Brian, well, he still gets carried in some off beat online papers across the country like WorldNutDaily and Dakota Voice who still call him a "pro-family" activist, yeah, that IS good for a laugh. His credibility here (did he even ever have any?) is gone and he needs to rely on his small group of anti-gay activists to spout his drivel. His name will always be linked to anti-gay screeds and conspiracy theories how sad is that for a legacy?

This from the Liberty Council

2011-05-02T09:18:00.003-03:00

People are celebrating today because the mastermind of the 9/11 bombings was finally defeated. Of course, for the anti-gay zealots like Matt Barber, all they ever think about is sex, (funny how all the "straight" anti-gay people are always thinking about gay sex)

Concord Town Meeting Applauds "Falsettos"

2011-04-26T13:11:00.007-03:00

In an earlier post, I mentioned how MassResistance was trying to rally people in Concord to condemn the production of the play "Falsettos" which was held in 2009. An MassResistance supporter and anti-gay activist petitioned the Town to condemn the production, well, the Town Meeting was held last night:

Concord — Town Meeting saw no surprises its first night with little debate on all articles except the last of the night, Article 31: the anticipated controversy that urged residents to condemn the 2009 fall play “Falsettos” for its use of public funds and defamation of Jews.

But even those engaged in debate decided they had heard enough. Discussion was quickly quelled by an overwhelming majority in support of an opposing amendment to the original article, which instead commended the School Committee and school employees for their work to foster “responsible citizenship” and “to create opportunities for critical thought.”

However, the crazies were still out (Article 31 was the anti-gay petition to condemn the play, the school, the teachers involved, heck, it appears to target everyone):

“The choice is simple,” she added. “If you vote ‘yes’ to Article 31, you support health, piety, chastity and most of all life. If you choose to vote ‘no,’ as the Board of Selectmen, the School Committee and the Finance Committee
are prepared to do, then you support disease, anti-Semitism, debauchery and
death. Death to our town’s children."

But the people spoke:

Petitioner Jim Smith, with his son Arthur — a 2006 CCHS alum — posed the amendment to the article. They argued that a simple vote was not enough.

“We are concerned that merely voting ‘no’ does not sufficiently address what we believe to be the larger issue,” said Smith. “Whether sustained criticism, even by a few, will have a chilling affect on the abilities of our schools to teach, debate, discuss and even produce important literary works that examine complex and complicated social issues.”

snip

The amendment to Article 31 passed nearly unanimously, and came to a close with lines still at the podium in favor of the amendment.

A shot heard round the world indeed. Can't wait to read how MassResistance tries to spin this one although I'm sure there is a conspiracy theory involved somewhere.

Tony Award Winning Play is MassResistance's Target

2011-04-23T15:38:00.009-03:00

Forever trying to create controversy where it doesn't exist, MassResistance is highlighting the actions of one closed minded individual to get the Concord School System to condemn a high school production of "Falsettos!" In case you hadn't heard about "Falsettos!" it received the following awards/nominations:

Tony Award for Best Musical(nominee)
Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical (winner)
Tony Award for Best Original Score (winner)
Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical (Rupert, nominee)
Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical (Kaplan, nominee)
Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical (Walsh, nominee)
Tony Award for Best Direction of a Musical (nominee)
Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Musical (Walsh, winner)
Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival (nominee)
Theatre World Award (Kaplan, winner)

Yet this same award winning play is listed as "a vulgar and disgusting" on MassResistance's website. What's most astounding is that they call the play anti-Semitic which is astounding since the main theme of the play is readying the lead character's son for his bar mitzvah. The one reason they have a problem with this play is because the lead character comes out and leaves his wife for a man, plain and simply. They do not want anyone showing gay characters in a positive light.

They even have a video on their site which cuts and pastes pieces of the production so everything is out of context, not to mention illegal because 1) they videotaped a copyrighted production and 2) they videotaped children without their parents consent. The later is not surprising since that is what MassResistance is known for in the past.

MassResistance even questions a group's "Jewishness":

But just how "Jewish" is Temple Kerem Shalom? According to its website, it has no affiliation with any branch of Judaism and it enthusiastically supports the homosexual movement and other fashionable left-wing nonsense. In other words, their real "religion" is liberalism. They are to Judaism what a ham and cheese sandwich is to a Kosher diet. This kinds of temple usually attracts disaffected liberal Jews, much the way radical churches attract disaffected Christians. It's an embarrassment.

Again, not surprising since they believe everyone is supposed to condemn people who are gay just like them. Oh, and of course, they NEVER even saw the play!

Update: The woman who is complaining about the play also complained in 2007 when the high school put on the "Laramie Project"

Anti-Bullying Video from Ireland

2011-04-20T20:54:00.005-03:00

I saw this anti-bullying video on Slate.com, it's really moving:

Scott Lively's Back in the Anti-Gay Saddle Again

2011-03-15T18:00:00.002-03:00

It was only a short two months ago when Scott Lively was trying to reinvent himself with a puff piece in the Boston Globe, remember:

But Scott Lively says he is toning down his antigay rhetoric and shifting his focus to helping the downtrodden. And he’s found a home and a receptive audience in this struggling city where many, but not all, have embraced his mission to “re-Christianize Springfield.’’

That was before people learned that he had hired a convicted pedophile to "volunteer" at his coffee house which was catering to school children.

Then his "Abiding Truth Ministries" gets named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center along with his comrades over at MassResistance.

Now, according to Joe.My.God, Lively is back with the anti-gay propaganda. How'd that helping the downtrodden work out for ya Scott? Scott Lively, the "Christian" jumped back on the anti-gay bandwagon like he did in Uganda:

When the Moldovan government submitted a draft antidiscrimination law to parliament last month, conservative Orthodox Christian forces in the country
treated it as a call to battle.
And that call was heeded by U.S. pastor and lawyer Scott Lively, who traveled to Chisinau to warn the country against adopting any measure that would bar discrimination against homosexuals.

Marian adds that Lively "explicitly told us that this bill is just the beginning, and later homosexuals will be given rights, starting with the right to hold public demonstrations.
"Since Lively's visit, Pro Familia has created an online "black list" of Moldovan public figures who support gay rights. The list includes several parliament members and the head of state television. People who appear on the list can have their names removed by submitting a written statement opposing the antidiscrimination measure.

Can you say intimidation? Yet Scott Lively claims he had nothing to do with the vicious anti-gay attacks and murders that took place in Uganda after he testified there too.

Ms. MassResistance Herself Has a Book on Amazon!

2011-03-10T06:04:00.004-04:00

Yup, Amy Contrada's book "Mitt Romney's Deception" can be brought electronically via Amazon's website. Funny enough, the MassResistance blog touts it as "A Hard Hitting Book on Mitt Romney's Pro-Homosexual Record while Governor of Massachusetts". I'm guessing she

leaves all the supposed meeting MassResistance had with Governor Romney?

The only thing funnier that this BS on Amazon.com are the four "reviews". One is from Linda Harvey (enough said), two are 5 stars and one is obviously from a Mitt Romney supporter. Amy even gets into the review act by commenting on the Romney supporters' review. Too funny.

I can't figure out why anyone would buy this drivel when you can head over to the anti-gay hate group's website and read it online there.

Amy even has her own website with a picture of a drag queen as retired Chief

justice of the Massachusetts SJC!

UPDATE March 14: The link to the Amazon page with the "Mitt Romney Deception" has been removed and the "book" is now on another page without any reviews...interesting...I wonder what happened? I wonder how many people found out that Amy was commenting on her own reviews?

Before:

Now:

MassResistance Does it Again!!

2011-03-09T18:39:00.004-04:00

For the 4th year in a row MassResistance has been named an Anti-Gay Hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center:

The religious right in America has employed a variety of strategies in its efforts to beat back the increasingly confident gay rights movement. One of those has been defamation. Many of its leaders have engaged in the crudest type of name-calling, describing LGBT people as "perverts" with "filthy habits" who seek to snatch the children of straight parents and "convert" them to gay sex. They have disseminated disparaging "facts" about gays that are simply untrue — assertions that are
remarkably reminiscent of the way white intellectuals and scientists once wrote about the "bestial" black man and his supposedly threatening sexuality.

It appears that MassResistance's work "on the front lines" with the anti-gay groups in Maryland is helping marriage equality in THAT state too!. Great job Brian!

Sadly, they are not the only anti-gay hate group in Massachusetts. Scott Lively's Abiding Truth Ministries in Springfield is also on the list. Abiding Truth Ministries is the "religious" group that had a convicted pedophile "volunteering" at the coffee shop that caters to school children.

MassResistance Helps Advance Marriage Equality in Maryland

2011-03-04T16:30:00.002-04:00

If you head over to MassResistance they're gloating that the marriage equality bill is stalled in committee, however, they're wrong, it was voted on by the Maryland Judiciary Committee and now advances to the full house most likely next week:

This afternoon, after careful consideration, the House Judiciary Committee voted 12-10 in favor of sending Senate Bill 116 – the Civil Marriage Protection Act – for consideration by the full House of Delegates. This is an exciting step that adds even more momentum behind marriage equality in the state of Maryland.

Yet MassResistance is still claiming victory for being "in the thick of it all" and they're spouting the lies they tried in Massachusetts which failed and it looks like it's going to fail in Maryland too because when you come right down to it, there are gay and lesbian Americans who deserve the same rights and responsibilities as their heterosexual counterparts.

Anti-Gay "Christian" Leader in Britain is Outted as a Wife Beater - Could this happen here too?

2011-02-16T23:38:00.003-04:00

H/T to Joe.My.God. An anti-gay activist in Britain who rallies about immorality is a wife beater, says his former partner:

Stephen Green’s monstrous and autocratic behaviour would, in any circumstance, be shocking. But the charge of arrant hypocrisy must be added — for while terrorising his wife and their four children, he was also revelling in his self-appointed public role as guardian of the nation’s morality.

Green, 60, is founder and director of Christian Voice, a fundamentalist group he set up in 1994, whose website thunders against the vices — family breakdown, crime, immorality and drink among them — that are ruining the lives of ‘real people’. Green’s pronouncements are often outrageous. For example, after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans in 2005 and killed more than 1,600 people, he claimed it was a result of God’s wrath and had purified the city.

He routinely inveighs against the abolition of the death penalty, no-fault divorce, Islam,
abortion and, his particular bête noir, homosexuality. Violent crime and rape, he laments on his website, have risen dramatically in the past 50 years, while he points out that ‘virtue is derided’.

Wow, founded his own group, thunders against the vices that are ruining the lives of "real people" and concentrates on homosexuality...who would guess? It's chilling!

Oh yeah, MassResistance is once again trying to scare people in thinking that things happening in Britain are happening here too and only they can save the US:

We don't think that enough conservatives are taking this seriously. We've already documented a horrible amount of domestic anti-family terrorism by the homosexual movement over the past several years. Unless you get involved support this struggle to help fight back, it's only going to get worse. Trust us on that.

Now who is it again who follows school children around and films them, attends conferences with kids and secretly records them, gets thrown out of schools because they show up with video cameras...I'm just ask' n.

Have Fun!

2011-02-10T16:59:00.002-04:00

Y'all should get a kick out of this ad which I found on the wall of a restaurant in Boston, yes, there are many uses of product Kleenex!

MassResistance is Boycotting the Mainstream Media

2011-01-14T00:31:00.002-04:00

Hahahahahahahahah, OK, I really have to get off the floor since I am laughing so hard:

What the Boston Globe (and Springfield Republican) did to Scott Lively is in our opinion only the beginning. They are clearly out to demonize and attack us, and twist our words into propaganda against us. They may have a broad First Amendment right to do these things, but we don't have to help them. Thus, MassResistance is calling on the entire pro-family and conservative movement not to grant any interviews whatsoever with them or talk to their reporters.

So how will people ever hear of them since they won't be interviewed?

This should not preclude individuals from communicating with them -- and sounding off to them. We still encourage people to write letters to the editor to the Globe, and even submit op-ed articles. You should especially feel free to contact individual reporters with feedback on their reporting.

HUH? no interviews but don't stop yourself from talking to them...? What are these people smoking?

No worries Brian. The Boston Globe stopped quoting you after MassResistance was named a Hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, remember? Even the Mass Family Institute doesn't want to be associated with you. And the last time I looked, even the Republicans in Massachusetts were cancelling their rallies if you were speaking so no worries.

MassResistance Tries to Defend Scott Lively

2011-01-14T00:03:00.002-04:00

Unbelievable is the only way to describe MassResistance's defense of anti-gay Scott Lively's interview with the Boston Globe:

How the media poisons a "feature article" on a pro-family conservative
The heavy bias and unprofessionalism in the way the Boston Globe and other mainstream media often cover a pro-family conservative versus a liberal is quite profound, bordering on propaganda. They clearly want the casual reader to dislike (and be fearful of) the pro-family conservative, and like and trust the liberal.

Hmm...how many times in the post did Brian Camenker, AKA MassResistance use the terms "pro-family"? NINE times, yep, it had to repeat it NINE times so you know that Scott Lively and MassResistance are PRO-FAMILY.

But there's more:

What they didn't let Scott Lively tell you
The article would have certainly been more interesting if Scott Lively had been able to refute the charges and accusations against him. But it would not have served the Globe's purpose. For example:
* Various "gay groups," the extremist Southern Poverty Law Center, and others are given the status of experts in the article in their attacks on Lively, but he isn't given the chance to answer their accusations or discuss their credentials.
* Lively's book The Pink Swastika, now in its fifth edition, is well written and very well-researched. But it is the bane of the homosexual movement because of the truth that it tells. Read more about it here. His other books are equally good. For Pastor Rick Warren to call Lively a "Holocaust denier" is absurd and stupid. Lively (and his
Orthodox Jewish co-author) have documented much of the Holocaust.
* The proposed Ugandan law that has liberals here in America so incensed proposed harsh punishments for those who knowingly expose people to AIDS and adults who seduce children or people with mental disabilities into homosexual sex acts. It's not far out of line with most people's sensibilities. But nevertheless, Lively did not propose the law; he simply told Ugandans his observations of the homosexual agenda.
* Lively's alleged "anti-gay rhetoric" is simply facts and discussion that the homosexual movement does not approve of. (In reality his approach is pro-humanity; he is full of compassion for those who have been drawn into homosexuality.)

Wow, who knew that the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group that was started to fight the Klan was a gay group? Thanks MassResistance for uncovering that one!

Pink Swastika...enough have already been written about this worthless and false piece of trash.

The Ugandan law..."It's not far out of line with most people's sensibilities." says MassResistance, interesting, because the Ugandan law authorizes the death penalty for gay people...very interesting and all the anti-gay rhetoric is "simply facts"...and MassResistance still wonders why it's a nationally recognized hate group!

MassResistance still believes that Scott Lively's opinions are considered mainstream! REALLY? Really?

Strangely, the entire MassResistance post, which has today's date, makes no mention of the convicted pedophile that managing Scott Lively's church.

Minister at Scott Lively's "Church" is a Convicted Sex Offender

2011-01-13T17:00:00.000-04:00

You can't make this stuff up, hat tip to Joe.My.God:

A local man who served as manager of the Holy Grounds Coffee Shop on State Street -- a cafe operated by anti-gay pastor Scott Lively that serves free coffee and offers conversation to teenage visitors -- is a sex offender from New York who was imprisoned for the sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl in 1995, according to police.
Police detectives on Thursday arrested Michael Frediani, 38, of 453 State St., for failing to register as a Level 2 sex offender in Springfield. He was living in an apartment above the coffee house.
He was being held at the Springfield police lock-up, said Sgt. John M. Delaney, a spokesman to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet.
In New York, Frediani is listed as a Level 3 sex offender, defined as most likely to repeat an offense.

According to Joe.My.God, Scott Lively was offering students free coffee and hot chocolate if the kids wore Lively's Jesus pins.

Now I wonder if MassResistance will report on their friend since a convicted SEX offender who was a "volunteer" manager of a coffee shop that catered to kids? On a side note, Lively supposedly have agreed to not let students into the coffee shop during school hours, isn't that nice of him?

The money quote from Scott Lively's manager:

“I talk to all the kids,” Frediani said. “We have a place that is safe.”
“The presence of God is here right now,” Frediani said Friday. “I invite God to touch
them and he does.”

Boston Herald Sportswriter Comes Out

2011-01-06T13:00:00.002-04:00

Boy, is MassResistance going to have a conniption over this, Steve Buckley, a writer for the Boston Herald, has come out, a sportswriter! Who's next?

Over the past couple of months I have discussed the coming-out process with my family and a few friends, and have had sit-downs with Herald editor-in-chief Joe Sciacca and sports editor Hank Hryniewicz, as well as with WEEI’s Glenn Ordway. They’ve been great, as have my friends and family.
But during this same period, I have read sobering stories about people who came undone, killing themselves after being outed. These tragic events helped guide me to the belief that if more people are able to be honest about who they are, ultimately fewer people will feel such devastating pressure.
It’s my hope that from now on I’ll be more involved. I’m not really sure what I mean by being “involved,” but this is a start: I’m gay.

Congratulations Steve! The more people keep coming out the harder it is for the anti-gay groups to demonize us since we are EVERYWHERE. H/T to Joe.My.God

Anti-Gay Scott Lively Tries to Reinvent Himself

2011-01-05T17:30:00.000-04:00

Apparently, the anti-gay people in Massachusetts think we're all stupid.

Scott Lively, the guy who wrote the "Pink Swastika", was MassResistance's choice for Governor in last year's election and who spoke in Uganda in favor of the legislation that now advocates death for gay people said he's changed even though he's still preaching against homosexuality and says gay people are the reason American is in moral decline. From the Boston Globe:

He gained international attention after he was accused of stoking violence against gays in Uganda. One of his books, “Pink Swastika,’’ argues that Hitler and other Nazi leaders were gay. Another provides seven steps to “recruit-proof’’ your child from gay activists.

But Scott Lively says he is toning down his antigay rhetoric and shifting his focus to helping the downtrodden. And he’s found a home and a receptive audience in this struggling city where many, but not all, have embraced his mission to “re-Christianize Springfield.’’

Toning down his antigay rhetoric? How about trying to hide it.

After working for years as a conservative activist in California, he moved to Springfield, he said, at the invitation of Alexey Ledyaev, a Latvian pastor who offered him a position at his church, New Generation Christian Center. Gay rights groups have accused Ledyaev of fomenting antigay sentiment in the former Soviet Union. But Lively says he was inspired by Ledyaev’s call to “transform cities for Jesus.’’

And was anyone surprised when a HUGE group from Springfield showed up at the Massachusetts Constitutional Conventions made up of Russian immigrants.

The people of Massachusetts need to be aware of this man and his past.

MassResistance Started the Ball Rolling...

2011-01-04T17:00:00.000-04:00

I came upon the following from a website called "The Right Perspective" which recycles MassResistance's post about Scott Brown:

Massachusetts Republican Senator, Scott Brown, took one more step out of the RINO closet last week, when he invited a notorious gay activist, and his “life mate,” to attend the ceremony repealing the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” legislation on gays in the military.

I guess they can't type husband, maybe they don't know how to spell it? And I guess "notorious gay activist" is same as MassResistance's "most vicious anti-family homosexual activist"

then it gets more interesting:

Many signatories of the popular legislation were attacked and harassed at their homes and work; others were threatened with being fired and shunned from local gatherings, reports MassResistance.
Lang has expanded his KnowThyNeighbor campaign to other states where efforts to put similar amendments on the ballot were conducted. He has also led many other violent attacks and instigated intimidation tactics against parents’ rights groups and churches, according to MassResistance.

Contrast that with what MassResistance originally posted:

As a result, many people who signed the marriage petition were harassed at their home and at work. People were threatened with loss of jobs. They were shunned at local gatherings. Some were attacked in newspaper articles. It was an act of intimidation on a huge scale, and was traumatic for all of us. Many people have now refuse[sic] to sign pro-family petitions at all because of this.

MassResistance appears to be making up all this stuff. Who was harassed? Who's jobs were threatened? There is at least one case where a signers of the petition physically attacked a Marriage Equality supporter.

What's this intimidation thing they speak of? MassResistance takes pride in their intimidation of GLBT people including children. For example look here, here, here, here and here.

The other issue is that these anti-bigots recycle the anti-gay stories and expand upon it without any proof. The Right Perceptive website now has people being attacked in their homes and at work because they signed the petition, BS! They also have the Knowthyneighbor founder leading violent attacks.

As no surprise the comments on this post at The Right Perspective are REALLY telling too:

Free Hal Turner says
Hal Turner sits in jail while this FAGGOT gets preferred treatment from a sitting Senator? FUCK the goddamn FAGGOT even looks like Hal.

and

FireFox says
Scott Brown is really a bi-sexual cocksucker who ran as an “independent”. Truth is, you cannot trust ANY of them in Congress! The whole idea of the bill putting queers, faggots and cocksuckers in the military is to destroy it! It’s that simple!

Fox News Mocks Anti-Gay Groups

2011-01-03T22:48:00.002-04:00

In case you missed it, a Fox News show was talking about the upcoming CPAC Conference and how National Organization for Marriage, Family Research Council and the Concerned Women of American are going to boycott it because they're allowing a gay conservation organization to participate. It's delicious!

They even get in a dig about Porno Pete, it's hilarious! Hat tip to Joe.My.God.

MassResistance: Any Grasp of Reality?

2011-01-03T22:00:00.000-04:00

It's a new year but MassResistance is using the same old methods to demonize, vilify and discredit gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender human beings. The good news is that the more they rant, more people are seeing them for what they really are, anti-gay bigots. Even the Mass Family Institute is starting to pick up pointers from them....

So for the New Year, here is MassResistance's "Guide to Becoming an Anti-Gay Hate Group":

Constantly describe you and group as "pro-family". If you don't, how is anyone to know that you are? If you don't state it at least 10 times you most likely are a homosexual activist.
Always put quotes around the words gay, husband, wife and marriage. For extra points, keep repeating that same sex unions are not legal in Massachusetts.
Recycle "news stories" from other anti-gay websites. There's no limit to how many times you can repeat a false gay story
Finally, link GLBT people to the Nazi's, maybe even write a book on it!

Learn from one of their recent posts, enjoy!

Sen. Scott Brown has done many things recently to publicly show his distain for the pro-family people who supported him. But this is probably the most personally offensive.
As the Boston Herald reported this week, Brown went out of his way to contact hardcore anti-family homosexual activist Tom Lang and give him (and his "husband") a personal invitation to the Obama's signing ceremony in Washington D.C. of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" repeal. Lang had been part of the homosexual lobby's huge 10-month effort to persuade Brown to abandon his position against the repeal, and switch to supporting it. Brown apparently decided to reward him for his success...
A horrible anti-family homosexual activist
Lang is arguably the most vicious anti-family homosexual activist in Massachusetts.
Back in 2005 over 170,000 people signed petitions to get the Marriage Amendment on the ballot in Massachusetts. Soon afterwards Tom Lang and his "husband" Alex Westerhoff set up a website called KnowThyNeighbor. There they posted the names and addresses of all the signers and invited people to contact them and confront them. (They've also taken it nationwide, and have led similar efforts in Arkansas, Florida, Oregon, and Washington.)
As a result, many people who signed the marriage petition were harassed at their homes and at work. People were threatened with loss of jobs. They were shunned at local gatherings. Some were attacked in newspaper articles.
It was an act of intimidation on a huge scale, and was traumatic for all of us. Many people have now refuse to sign pro-family petitions at all because of this.
Since then, Lang and Westerhoff (who are "married") have continued their reign of anti-family terror. Their activities include:

I think you get the gist.

North Shore Tea Party Group Brings in Hate Group President as Speaker

2010-12-30T13:27:00.003-04:00

Mark your calendars, a tea party group from the north shore of Massachusetts is bringing in Brian Camenker, head (and sole member?) of the nationally recognized anti-gay hate group MassResistance:

Tea Party meeting
The Independence Tea Party will hold its next monthly meeting Wednesday, Jan. 5, 6:30-8:30 p.m., at Bertucci’s, Route 1 North in Peabody.
There will be two guests: Robert Dwyer from Massachusetts Liberty Preservation Association and Brain Camenker from MassResistance.
For more about the group, visit independenceteaparty.blogstream.com.

DADT is Repealed

2010-12-23T22:33:00.002-04:00

And MassResistance is mad as hell and they ain't gonna take it anymore and as usual they equate gay people to Nazi's:

But we all know the truth. This isn't a political disagreement. Whether we like it or not, we are being subjugated by people with a destructive and dehumanizing worldview. From the politicians in Congress imposing "Don't Ask Don't Tell" down to the sex-ed activists in local public schools who terrorized David Parker over teaching homosexuality to his six-year-old son, these people have become obsessed with creating a kind of secular utiopia in one form or another which they have decided will make everyone's life better, and therefore it must be imposed on everyone who doesn't agree, for their own good.
In doing so, these people believe that the ends justify the means. They are willing to use any manner of lies or vicious tactics to win. It's not an exaggeration to say that anything they can get away with, they will do, and that constitutions, laws, and morality are meaningless to them. They see us as less than human and they see themselves as superior -- as we have all experienced countless times. In that respect they are similar to the Communists and even the Nazis --it's the same basic totalitarian mindset. And they've been winning in America for decades.

And on their blog they talk about the continuing "feminization" of the military:

Sexual tension in the ranks means the end of military discipline.

The U.S. military took its first step on the sexual slippery slope when it admitted women to the military academies in the mid-1970s. Later, women began serving on the frontlines (just one way Bill Clinton ensured the decline of our once proud military and kowtowed to the radical feminists). The denial of reality—that there was no new element of sexual tension acting as a distraction from discipline—began then.

This is the same drivel that Porno Pete over at the Americans for "Truth" about Homosexuality is spouting and they're even using the same made up word "homosexualize"

Not to be left out, Kris Mineau of the Mass "Family" Institute is steamed and blames Mass Senator Scott Brown (the same guy who Brian Camenker of MassResistance was proud to have his picture taken with)

What a great holiday season!

Mass Family Institute's Against Anything Gay

2010-08-14T04:58:00.005-03:00

For all of Mass Family's Institute's saying that 'they're only concerned with homosexual marriage' they sure are doing a lot to stop anything the even remotely affects gay people.

Case in point: In their recent Commonwealth update they are advocating for boycotting Home Depot:

Will you boycott The Home Depot? I have!

In the same update they complain about the critically acclaimed movie 'The Kids Are Alright' and regurgitate the same phony statistics given out by the Family Research Council.

I think MFI is starting to give MassResistance some competition as the most anti-gay group in Massachusetts.

Anti-Gay Activists Want to Judge

2010-08-11T06:00:00.002-03:00

The anti-gay zealots, Maggie Gallagher, Peter LaBarbera, Kris Mineau, Tony Perkins, etc... have been piling on the federal judge who ruled last week that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional. They even started BEFORE his ruling came out (because they knew how weak their case was). Because they can't refute the facts of the case they have been making personal attacks on the justice.

By far the biggest attack on him has been about his perceived sexual orientation. They claim that he is gay (or homosexual because they love to use the word SEX) and because of this fact he should have recused himself.

So I finally read an article that sums up the whole story really well. Here is a snippet from the Miami Herald:

According to this line of ``thinking,'' a homosexual may competently judge a traffic dispute or an assault charge, but not anything having to do with, well . . . being a homosexual. For that, you need a judge who is as straight as the crease in George Will's pants.
But there is a hole in that ``logic'' wide enough to dance the Rockettes through. Every individual is a compilation of culture, experience, opinions, emotions and personal biases, so every judge brings baggage to the table.
But we trust a judge to put that baggage aside and decide an issue on its merits. You don't ask him to recuse himself unless something he has said or done suggests a conflict of interest.
Walker's critics judge him biased not because of something he's said or done, but because of something he supposedly is. By that logic, we must consider every heterosexual judge who ever ruled against gay rights as biased. Indeed, that reasoning would require women judges to recuse themselves from cases with women plaintiffs, Jewish judges to abandon cases with Jewish defendants, white judges to leave cases tried by white lawyers.
Nor is that remote and abysmal possibility what's most offensive here. No, what truly rankles is the implicit suggestion that only straight people can fairly and dispassionately judge when and if gay men and lesbians should be granted equality -- and that straights have an unquestioned right to make that judgment.

You know they are getting desperate when the harshest critique they can give the judge is that "he's gay." What about the FACTS people?

MassResistance Successes

2010-08-06T11:06:00.003-03:00

It's been a banner year for MassResistance.

Successfully got a Tea Party Rally in Lexington, MA cancelled because the other speakers didn't want to be associated with a nationally recognized hate group.
Put together a "Report" on Elena Kagan that will ensure that she will not be confirmed as a justice on the United States Supreme Court. The reports writers: Amy Contrada, Brian Camenker WITH Peter LaBarbera. This "report" was picked up by all the leading news organizations like One News Now and Life Style News. It's a page turner!
Successfully still provides a link to oust Safe School Czar Kevin Jennings two years after his appointment. (How's that petition working out for ya?)
Successfully held onto the title of Hate Group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for the 3rd year in a row!

The rest of the year looks like it is going to be even more successful too. MassResistance just posted about a write-in candidate for Governor and Lt. Governor. The biggest laugh in their story was this tidbit:

And Davis could actually win it!
And if Davis should receive MORE votes than Tisei, he would replace him and appear on the ballot in the November general election. This has actually happened twice in Massachusetts in recent years -- a write-in candidate beat a ballot candidate in a primary in state rep races, and both times that candidate went on to became the state rep. So this adds a level of excitement.

As the late Paul Harvey would say "And now for the rest of the story..." The two people that were write-ins and won were PRO marriage equality candidates. One of the two, Carl Sciortino, has been on MassResistance's radar ever since he got elected. MassResistance even tried to get his opponent elected and successfully failed BIG time.

Here's a toast to MassResistance to keep it going. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts needs you, and you make our jobs so much easier!

Scott Lively On the Daily Show

2010-07-30T09:53:00.004-03:00

I've written before about this infamous "Christian". He claims that Hitler was a homosexual and even wrote the "Pink Swastika" about supposedly homosexuals in the Nazi party, a book that has been discredited by every legitimate historian yet MassResistance keeps using it as a prop at legislative hearings.

As a side note, Scott Lively's "ministry" is now based in Western Massachusetts and has also been named a hate group, like MassResistance, by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Here's the video from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, it speaks for itself:

Mass Family Institute - Gay All the Time

2010-07-28T18:00:00.001-03:00

Kris Mineau of the Mass Family Institute (MFI) has been making the rounds lately calling out the "activist judge" who ruled that sections of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) was unconstitutional. It just so happens that Justice Joseph Tauro, or the "activist judge" as Mineau calls him was appointed to the Federal bench by Republican Richard Nixon and was a First Lieutenant in the United States Army.

I wonder if Kris Mineau knows that this "activist judge" became only the second judge to invoke The Adam Walsh Act of 2006 in which allows judges to indefinitely hold child sex offenders in jail if deemed a public danger.

Anyhow, while tooling around the MFI's website I happened on their July 20, 2010 update. Now, the subheading under their name says "Strengthening the family", however, the update was gay, gay gay. Every bullet was anti-gay, or dealt with homosexuality (because the anti-gay crowd love saying words with SEX in them):

• Montana considers radical sex education curriculum
• Senate JudiciaryCommittee approves Elena Kagan's nomination
• Will SCOTUS let DC voteon marriage?
• Get your marching orderson FRC's Special Military Webcast
• Coverage of NOM's Summerfor Marriage Tour in New England
• In ironic statement, Richard Tisei says "Let the people vote!"

I was going to change the link on the left side of the page to MFI but I can see that the Massachusetts Institute Against Gays still fits. They are not only concerned about same sex marriage but are making sure that GLBT Americans are not afforded the same rights as other Americans.

NOM Hate Tour Wants Small Turnouts

2010-07-27T23:00:00.002-03:00

Hat tip to Joe.My.God for this story about how the National Organization for Marriage wants low turnouts for their bus tour so that they can use the video footage to claim that they are being outnumbered and threatened by those angry "homosexual activists". Joe posted a press release by the HRC:

"The bus tour is a total sham, plain and simple," said Fred Sainz, HRC's vice president of communications. "NOM's highly-touted bus tour is less about so-called 'traditional marriage' and more about creating an elaborate and cynical stunt. NOM rolled out a summer of nationwide events in order to draw lawful protesters, all so that NOM and its allies can pepper ongoing lawsuits challenging public disclosure laws with made-up stories of harassment. This unprecedented victimization crusade is the lowest denominator of political activism, and it won't fly."
In events in seven states, NOM has routinely played to crowds reportedly as small as two dozen people including NOM staff members. The organization's public statements on the bus tour have barely mentioned the content of the programs or the substance of its anti-LGBT message, instead focusing attention on much larger counter-protests that NOM has attacked as intimidation and harassment. NOM issued a press release last Friday saying that LGBT supporters have "approached and threatened children," engaged in "bullying tactics" and committed acts of harassment. However, NOM's uncorroborated claims belie legitimate local media reports demonstrating that pro-equality supporters, which have vastly outnumbered NOM's faithful, have been civil. NOM has yet to document any illegal activity or actual harassment, despite the presence of law enforcement at all the events.
NOM's efforts to trump up false claims of harassment are part of a radical nationwide plan to evade long-established public disclosure laws and to hide their political activities from legitimate scrutiny and accountability. In doing so, NOM has falsely alleged that their donors have been harassed and intimidated across the country to justify why it shouldn't have to play by the same rules as everyone else. These tactics have prompted a state ethics investigation in Maine and recent court defeats across
the country.

Of course there have been no arrests at any of the stops and all the ranting and raving has been done by NOM's leader Brian Brown who claims after the Providence stop that "their children were afraid" It's always all about the children.

However, even with the huge turnouts by the Marriage Equality supporters, there have been no signs like this:

I bet you won't find this picture on NOM's website!

Tea Party Rally Canceled Because of MassResistance's Presence!

2010-07-23T10:00:00.003-03:00

This was supposed to be a post about the Tea Party Rally going on in Lexington this Sunday, supposed to be. I was going to write about all the conservative politicians attending along with the infamous leader of that nationally recognized hate group MassResistance, and, well, see for yourself:

Tea Party to rally on the Battle Green in Lexington
The rally, which will take place on Sunday, July 25, from 1 to 3 p.m., will include addresses by Jesse Segovia, the event organizer and chairman of the Lexington Republican Town Committee, WRKO Radio talk show host Todd Feinberg, and Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, an organization that describes itself as a “pro-family action center for Massachusetts” and which opposes gay marriage.

Then there was this the next day:

Dahlberg backs out of Tea Party rally in Lexington

Eric Dahlberg, a Republican candidate for state Senate from the 3rd Middlesex District, has withdrawn from a Tea Party rally scheduled to take place in Lexington on Sunday after learning that Brian Camenker, president of MassResistance, would be speaking at the event.
“Some consider MassResistance a hate group,” Dahlberg said. “I don’t want to be within a mile of an event that gives someone like that a stage.”

Then, surprise, surprise, only hours later....

Lexington Tea Party rally canceled

Event organizer Jesse Segovia, chairman of the Lexington Republican Committee, said he “never gave a thought to uninviting Camenker,” whom he called a personal
friend.
According to Segovia, other speakers followed Dahlberg’s lead and began pulling out during the day on Thursday, prompting him to cancel the rally.

Isn't it great when Americans learn the truth about hate groups! Keep spreading the word.

MassResistance in the News...well, not the REAL news...

2010-07-21T18:00:00.001-03:00

While I haven't been posting that much recently, I have been keeping an eye on the goings on over at that nationally recognized hate group MassResistance. The truth is that the public has really seen how whacked out they are and that the people in Massachusetts don't give them any mind, if they even know who they are.

So I've decided to start posting the news articles that feature MassResistance, there aren't that many and most of them are usually on some little know website like OneNewsNow (who is that you might ask?), that wbsite is affiliated with the AFA (American Family Association), but then again, the majority of people have never even heard of OneNewsNow either:

From the WorldNutDaily:

Critics fear Kagan would use bench to promote 'gays'
Mass Resistance contends, "Kagan's record while dean of Harvard Law School demonstrates her agreement with the goals of the radical ["gay," lesbian, bisexual and transgender] movement and her solidarity with those activists."
"Kagan's celebration and active promotion of the radical homosexualist and transgender worldview has profound implications," the group argues. "As a Supreme Court Justice, she could be expected to overturn traditional law and understandings of family, marriage, military order and even our God-given sex (what transgender radicals call "gender identity or expression"). She is a most dangerous nominee who must be opposed by all who care about religious freedom, the preservation of marriage and traditional values."

From LifeSiteNews:

10-Year-Old Boy Used as Grand Marshal of Arkansas Homosexual Fest
Brian Camenker, the leader of MassResistance, a pro-family group in Massachusetts, told LifeSiteNews.com that saying Phillips is being "indoctrinated" is "not a strong enough word."

"They are taking these kids who are in a very vulnerable and formative time in their lives, and basically telling them they're gay or what have you," he said, adding that "the kinds of things that go on in these parades ... are just really gross and hideous."
"Transexual, S&M, they're getting more into young kids," he said.
Camenker related the story of a MassResistance volunteer whose daughter similarly drew media attention when, after being pressured by the gay-straight alliance at her high school, declared that "she's a lesbian, hates her mother and father, [and] has this lesbian girlfriend."
"The gay newspapers of course wrote it up, because she was involved with us, and they were inviting her to be involved with the gay pride parade ... even the Boston Globe called her up to interview her," he said. Things changed, however, when the girl's mother removed her from the school and sent her to an out-of-state Christian school.
The girl is now preparing to marry her male fiancé in August, and, according to Camenker, dismisses her youthful flirtation with lesbianism.
"She wasn't lesbian any more than I was a lesbian," he said. "I think that happens with a lot of kids. So this is really dangerous."

Hmmm...not really sure what Brian meant by that last comment.

I guess they were also on NPR, I didn't hear them but my husband told me about it. Apparently, have them on NPR only increased their "cringe quotient" as everything MassResistance said on the air was crazy.

NOM rolls out the Hate Bus

2010-07-15T18:00:00.001-03:00

The National Organization for Marriage is rolling through a state near you to "protect marriage" yet what exactly they doing to protect marriage is unclear. All they have done to "protect marriage" is to advocate discrimination against gay and lesbian couples and state that they're not bigots. They haven't done anything to actually protect marriage.

Of the millions of dollars they have raised have they ever directly helped the children they claim to protect? No. Have they reduced the divorce rate in any of the states that they claim victory for preventing marriage equality? No. (Massachusetts still has one of the lowest divorce rates in the country even after 6 years of marriage equality, what does THAT tell you?)

They held up a beauty queen as a model of God's work against marriage equality and then pushed her to the curb when it came out that "God's model" was doing some pornographic modeling of her own and sending sexting it off on her phone.

Maybe they should have started their tour in Argentina where that country just adopted marriage equality.

MassResistance is linked to Anti-gay "Christian" Rent Boy Patron

2010-05-09T09:47:00.006-03:00

Yes folks. It appears that MassResistance has been using Dr. George Rekers documents to boost it's "It's bad to be gay" creed. So I guess it's bad to be gay unless you pay for it?

On April 8, 2010 MassResistance posted on its blog the following:

Pediatricians Warning Schools: Do Not Promote Being 'Gay'

We have lived the nightmare of GLBT activists meddling in the life of our family, and cruelly targeting a confused young child. Luckily, our personal stories have turned out well.
But how many young people are drawn into unhappy lives -- even the dangerous sadomasochist underworld -- by the twisted preaching of GLSEN, PFLAG, and their "Safe Schools" agents?
The American College of Pediatricians is right on target with their new report, "Facts about Youth."

And guess who's one of the American College of Pediatricians? Yep, you guessed it, Dr. George Rekers! This bogus group sent out the letter to Superintendents around the country right before Dr. George Rekers took his European trip with an escort from Rentboy.com.

Here is a link to Rachel Maddow's reporting on the Rekers scandal and her expose on the American College of Pediatricians.

Family Research Council Founder and "Expert" Anti-Gay Witness Caught with a Rent Boy!

2010-05-05T18:00:00.002-03:00

It's a birthday wish come true, another anti-gay "christian" is caught! No, not in a bathroom trying to pick up an undercover cop or not from being with a gay "massage therapist" Not even from trying to pick up men in a bathroom stall at the airport...although you're getting closer!

Dr. George Rekers, board member of NARTH ( National Association for Research & Therapy of Homosexuality.) and one of the founding members of the Family Research Council (who until just yesterday could be found on their website but has since been scrubbed of any trace of Rekers) was spotted at the airport with a RENTBOY.COM, see picture below. Major hat tip goes out to Joe of Joe.My.God for first alerting me to this story. Rekers is also one of the "Dr's" in the fake pediatrician group that MassResistance is always touting:

The Miami New Times! first broke the story about

On April 13, the "rent boy" (whom we'll call Lucien) arrived at Miami International Airport on Iberian Airlines Flight 6123, after a ten-day, fully subsidized trip to Europe. He was soon followed out of customs by an old man with an atavistic mustache and a desperate blond comb-over, pushing an overburdened baggage cart. That man was George Alan Rekers, of North Miami — the callboy's client and, as it
happens, one of America's most prominent anti-gay activists. Rekers, a Baptist minister who is a leading scholar for the Christian right, left the terminal with his gay escort, looking a bit discomfited when a picture of the two was snapped with a hot-pink digital camera. Reached by New Times before a trip to Bermuda, Rekers said he learned Lucien was a prostitute only midway through their vacation. "I had surgery," Rekers said, "and I can't lift luggage. That's why I hired him." (Though medical problems didn't stop him from pushing the tottering baggage cart through MIA.) Yet Rekers wouldn't deny he met his slender, blond escort at Rentboy.com — which features homepage images of men in bondage and grainy videos of crotch-rubbing twinks — and Lucien confirmed it.

That's where the story started, but it's legs are still running. Within hours the Family Research Council erased all traces of Rekers from their website. Then, Rekers responded to Joe on Facebook. It's very disturbing how he equates a 10 day vacation with a 20 yr old rent boy to being like Jesus spending time with sinners, but he does. It is all too delicious to take in in just one day. Like everyone else, I'm just wondering which hypocrite will be next?

MassResistance Named a Hate Group AGAIN! 3rd Time!

2010-03-03T21:33:00.000-04:00

3rd time's the charm. MassResistance was once again named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Brian Camenker is sure to wear his hate tiara proudly.

It's fitting to hear about it today while same sex couples in Washington D.C. are finally being treated equally. There IS no turning back. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont and now Washington D.C are issuing marriage licences to same sex couples.

Not to get too nostalgic but I started this blog when MassResistance was still calling themselves the Article 8 Alliance. Their sole purpose then was to recall the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court who recognized that same sex couples were entitled to be married under the Massachusetts Constitution. That was almost 7 years ago.

Margaret Marshall is still the head Justice and Brian Camenker is still the head of a hate group but thousands of gay families are protected under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. MassResistance has done nothing to stop the wheels of progress.

It's a great day!

Miss Ladyfingers U.S.A

2009-11-16T23:51:00.005-04:00

By now everyone knows that the former Miss California U.S.A Carrie Prejean has not only posed nude for photos but has, at last count, 7 "solo videos" of herself. I went onto the National Organization for Marriage to see what their latest press release would say about this HOT news but I couldn't find one, however, doing a little research on their site I did find these tidbits, enjoy!

THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MARRIAGE RESPONDS TO THE FIRING OF MISS CALIFORNIA USA CARRIE PREJEAN:
(Princeton, NJ) - Today, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) issued the following statement in response to the firing Miss California USA Carrie Prejean: "Hollywood hates Carrie. First they abuse her, then they try to get her to recant, then they threw mud, and now they are doing what they wanted to do from day one: Get rid of Carrie.
This cover story about a contract dispute doesn’t pass the smell test. Americans aren’t fooled that easily. God knows, and we know, the truth about Carrie: She’s a young woman of great beauty who chose truth over the glittering tiara that Hollywood offers," said Brian Brown, Executive Director for NOM. "Of course they will try to punish her, but we know she will be fine in the end, because her values are in the right place."
"Hollywood will dance its tribal war dance over her body--the hatred generated against her has been extraordinary--but Carrie will be free to define her own mission and message from now on. Congratulations," stated Maggie Gallagher, President for NOM.

Yes, Maggie, you're right, she is defining her own mission.

THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MARRIAGE RESPONDS TO THE MISS CALIFORNIA USA PAGEANT’S CRITICISM OF CARRIE PREJEAN: Maggie Gallagher: “Many people are revealing their core character and convictions in a very public way in this incident. Carrie Prejean is one who comes out shining. I'm proud of her. Americans are proud of her. God bless her."

Shining Maggie? Have YOU seen the videos? Hmmm...

Picking and Choosing Which Parts of the Bible to Follow

2009-10-30T23:18:00.005-03:00

The anti-gay groups always get their panties in a wad when they're called on the things they say or have stated in the past. Case in point, Porno Pete, of Americans for the Truth about Homosexuality (say that 3 times fast and how did he become such an authority?) is all upset because he and his other anti-gay cohort Brian Camenker held a press conference in Maine that few people attended. It was so sparsely attended that even the groups against marriage equality in Maine didn't attend or want to be linked to these wackos.

Jesse Connelly, the head of the No on 1 campaign was interviewed after the Peter's dismal PR event and stated the following:

“And they [referring to leaders of the pro-traditional-marriage group 'Stand For Marriage'] can’t stand behind Peter LaBarbera, who has attacked Ben & Jerry’s, supported rescinding women’s right to vote and believes we should return to the Old Testament where gay people were stoned…..”

Well, The Peter doesn't want people to think he's for violence, of course not, he is always saying that we are supposed to be following the Bible, however, I guess he's all for picking and choosing which parts of the Bible he wants everyone else to follow.

Now I'm not theologian, but if you're going to quote from the Bible as a reason to deny gay people their civil rights then you can't blame people for assuming that you agree with the other parts of the Bible that YOU don't agree with. It's all or nothing baby.

But now the Peter wants an apology. I think he's just bringing up this petty issue because no one paid attention to their pathetic PR event and he needs to make news somehow. Fundraising is down and when you're competing with Brian Camenker for those dwindling anti-gay dollars it's either this or posting your photo with a failed presidential candidate.

"Take Back America" to the dark ages

2009-09-27T09:13:00.004-03:00

The "Take Back America" conference was held this past weekend and MassResistance's own Brian Camenker was one of the leaders of a workshop entitled "How to Counter the Homosexual Extremist Movement" along with Matt Barber. Right Wing Watch has the details:
About 100 activists at the How to Take Back America conference attended the workshop on

“How to Counter the Homosexual Extremist Movement.” Workshop speakers Matt Barber and Brian Camenker urged people to be loud rabble-rousers when opposing the teaching of tolerance or sex ed in public schools. They said not to worry
about being nice or polite or liked, but to push God’s anti-gay agenda forcefully. “Christ wasn’t about being nice,” said Barber. Camenker bragged about having once sent two congregations to scream outside a targeted legislator’s home.

It sounds like the workshop contained all the over the top national anti-gay activists, all 100 of them including Sally Kern. From Right Wing Watch's overview it sounds like a lot of the talk was about how following their Jesus would stop the homosexual mania (over at PHB, there is more discussion of the religous aspects of the workshop), which as Right Wing Watch suggests, probably didn't sit well with Camenker:

Camenker, who heads the anti-gay MASS Resistance, came out as Jewish, which made me wonder what he’d thought about the fire-and-brimstone speech by Rick Scarborough just before his workshop insisting that people turning to Christ was the only thing that would save America.

However, after following MassResistance's antics these past few years, it seems Brian has never met an anti-gay zealot he didn't like or wouldn't quote time and time again. I wonder how many other anti-gay hate groups were respresented at this workshop, Southern Poverty Law Center take note!

MassResistance Makes More Stuff Up

2009-09-20T16:16:00.004-03:00

On the MassResistance website they are now proclaiming that Six Flags New England is sponsoring a Gay Day to bail themselves out of debt:

The Six Flags New England amusement park has a new scheme to help bail
themselves out of debt: Have the biggest "Gay Day" ever.
And that's exactly what they're doing. Earlier this year Six Flags of New England filed for bankruptcy protection. Apparently they feel they need to be creative.
Over the last few months Six Flags of New England in Agawam has bought full-page ads in the hard-core homosexual newspaper Bay Windows advertising an "Out in the Park" celebration - a full day of homosexuality in Six Flags.

Brian has a very short memory because it was just a few years ago when Ms. MassResistance ranted about the 9th Annual Gay Day at Six Flags:

Then, on Sunday, Sept. 18 it's the 9th annual "Out in the Park" day at Six Flags New England amusement park. "Be seen, Wear red!" Contact: Six Flags New England, 1305 Memorial Ave., West Springfield, MA 01089; 413-737-2443; corporate HQ: Six Flags America, 301-249-1500.

I guess Brian doesn't even know what's on his own webpages otherwise he would have known that this has gone on for years. The laugh out loud part is at the end:

Why an amusement park?
Think about this: Normally, a group of adults wouldn't be interested in a child's amusement park. Most people might go on a cruise, or to a pro football or baseball game, or to a picnic, hike, sightseeing tour, or museum.
But as we see so much, the homosexual community seems to be obsessed with events connected to children, such as the public schools, parades, "gay youth" events, and children's' sections of libraries. And of course, there's the famous "Gay Days" at Disneyworld. One might speculate on their own delayed development.

Umm...Brian...don't you and your minions show up at public schools, parades, "gay youth" events and libraries with camera in tow to photographic the children? Wasn't it your photographer who was charged with disorderly conduct while taking pictures of middle school children then when caught ran and began stripping off his clothes?

Oh and Brian, that stuff you said about Six Flags hiding the Gay Days on their website...if you click on the events tab at the top of the page, it takes you to a listing of the events at the park and surprise, there it is:
so much for you suggesting that they're hiding it.

I guess Brian has never been to an amusement park where most of the rides are geared to older teens and adults. It figures he's out of touch again.

Summer's Over!

2009-09-18T06:00:00.000-03:00

Hi all! No, MassResistance didn't kidnap me and send me to an ex-gay camp.

I haven't posted anything because Brian and Amy have finally become like that fly that gets stuck between the closed window and screen. They fly around a bit then tucker out , crawl around at the bottom of the window sill then get more tuckered out from flying in circles. Frankly, MassResistance is doing my job for me!

Ever since MassResistance was named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center they have gone unnoticed around here. (that's probably why they complain about it so much) Marriage Equality passed in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine and you didn't see hide nor hair of them in any of those states. That's not to say that the other right wings wackos like Porno Pete and the American Family Association's One News Now haven't stopped listening to them, however, New England has. Oh, but their partner in anti-gay hate, Mad Dad David Parker did make the rounds. I caught him giving "testimony" during the huge public hearing on the marriage equality bill in Maine, he was essentially laughed off the podium however (Mainers do not like outsiders interfering with their business). Additionally, Maggie Gallagher, anti-gay marriage professional from NOM was also in the region giving what I guess would be called a pep talk to the people in RI since that is the only New England state that doesn't have marriage equality...yet.

Apparently, the only big news about MassResistance is that Google has a disclaimer on their MassResistance Blog that warns the viewer of objectionable content. Of course, this being MassResistance, Brian Camenker has another conspiracy theory about that too.

All in all it's been a pretty good summer, well, except for the weather but I, unlike Brian Camenker, wouldn't blame marriage equality for that. Anyhow, I hope to continue with the blog because you know MassResistance is itching to make the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate group list for another year, third time's the charm!

Oh, and if anyone of you happen to be attending Out and Equal's Workplace Summit in Orlando this year stop by and say hello.

Marriage Equality in New York & the Catholic Church

2009-05-21T09:13:00.002-03:00

I came across this article in the New York Times about marriage equality in the state. It talked about how the anti-gay forces seemed to be far behind the marriage equality allies. However, the part of the article that stuck out the most for me was this:

In New York, the National Organization for Marriage, whose resources have been stretched thin from other campaigns in the Northeast, began making phone calls to recruit supporters only late last week.
The state’s Roman Catholic bishops have been somewhat distracted, too, having focused their lobbying energies this session on defeating a bill that would extend the statute of limitations for victims of sexual abuse to bring civil claims, and have appeared unprepared for the battle over marriage.
“Frankly, the governor caught us all by surprise when he put this bill out there,” said Dennis Poust, communications director for the New York State Catholic Conference, the bishops’ political arm. “We weren’t expecting it.”

How appalling! The Catholic Church, who tries to use the argument about morality for discriminating against GLBT people is focusing their lobbying energies to deny victims of sexual abuse their day in court. The Church is more concerned about it's finances than the well being of people.

MassResistance Once Again Comes Through

2009-05-16T09:03:00.004-03:00

Just as I expected, MassResistance sent out a blast email to their supports about the MBTA accident last week. They probably haven't put it up on their website because they know that the only people who go on it are us. (Count the number of quotation marks):

More MA State-Sponsored Stupidity:

State sponsored madness: Subway driver who caused huge crash is "transgender" (1). Was "affirmative action" (2) hire because of transgender is now considered a minority by MBTA!

Last Friday afternoon nearly 50 people were injured and $10 million in damages when a subway train beneath downtown Boston crashed into another train that was stopped. The driver later admitted texting "his"(3) girlfriend at the time of the crash and not paying attention.

Used Mass. DMV to change sex on IDs

Now we know that "he"(4) is a "transgender" (5) female who recently used the Mass. Registry of Motor Vehicles' (RMV) new transgender policy to have her official driver's license changed from female to male. The subway driver, identified as Aiden Carter Quinn, was known as Georgia Anne Quinn until recently.

And ABC News has reported that despite Quinn's bad driving record, including several tickets, she was an affirmative-action hire because of being a transgender! As ABC.com wrote:

Quinn was originally hired as a part-time driver by the MBTA under the name Georgia Anne Quinn. In 2007 he was hired for a full-time position from a lottery of minority candidates. He was granted minority status as a self-described "female-to-male transgender," two sources told ABC News. Quinn lists his sexual orientation as "FTM."

"[Quinn] was initially hired as a minority and used her transgender status,'' an MBTA source said.

There is also speculation (see Howie Carr's article, below) that Quinn's hormone treatments to "become" (6) a man may have had a role in the accident. According to news reports, Quinn has refused to meet with National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators to discuss any of this. What a surprise!

You can't make this stuff up. This is where our public officials are taking us.

Down the slippery slope

It was MassResistance that broke the story nationwide last January that the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles now allows people to change their sex on official IDs practically at will.

Where did this absurd transgender minority policy in the MBTA come from? As we've reported for years, MBTA General Manager Dan Grabauskas, who is publicly homosexual, has pushed the homosexual and transgender agenda in state government at the various agencies he has run. When he ran the RMV under Gov. Cellucci, he began the transgender policy there that led to the current one.

It started with unusual affirmative action

A person we talked to with long-time connections to the MBTA said that the T has probably the most hard-nosed affirmative action program in the country, with aggressive quotas for "diverse" (7) types of people, rather than simply by race. This policy goes back to the Dukakis administration. "Transgender"(8) appears to be the latest of that type of diversity, under Grabauskas. He added that it's well known that as the MBTA stopped hiring on the basis of skill and merit, the rate of accidents has multiplied many times. It certainly seems that way, from what we've all seen over the last few years.

Interesting news reports

(It's bizarre that all of the news articles we've seen on this refer to Quinn as "he"(9) even though she is biologically, and DNA-wise, completely a female!)

On Tuesday the Herald picked up on how easy (and weird) it now is to change your sex on official IDs at the RMV:

Sex change a simple switch at RMV
By Dave Wedge, Boston Herald
Wednesday, May 13, 2009

The alleged text-messaging trolley driver who recently switched his gender from female to male on his driver's license is just one of many motorists who fill out a simple form to make the change official in the eyes of the government.

Registry of Motor Vehicles rules allow motorists to change their gender based only on sworn statements from the license holder and their physician.

"There are forms, an affidavit, that you have to have your medical provider fill out," RMV spokeswoman Anne Dufresne said.

RMV regulations, though, specifically state: "You do not need to provide proof of sex reassignment surgery, an amended birth certificate or proof of a court-approved name change."

Dufresne said rules have been in place for about 10 years allowing "gender designation changes" on Massachusetts driver's licenses, which occur at a rate of one application a month. The rules were updated earlier this year to require a sworn affidavit from a doctor.
[MassResistance note: This is misleading. Actually it was made much easier, not harder. For example, a doctor is NOT required to be involved, just an undefined "medical provider."(10)]

T driver Aiden Quinn, who was allegedly text-messaging when he crashed a Green Line trolley during rush hour Friday, was formerly known as Georgia Quinn but changed his gender designation April 21, Dufresne said.

The change allowed the RMV to merge the driving records of Georgia and Aiden Quinn, to accurately reflect his complete history.

Aiden Carter Quinn. Does this look like a man to you . . . or a woman with short hair?

One Herald reader posted the comment: "MBTA = Massachusetts Bay Transgender Authority. Who knew?"

Other pertinent articles:

Herald columnist Howie Carr: "He or she, T driver is a dolt."
You can't miss this one. Howie doesn't pull any punches here.

Boston Globe, "T crash puts spotlight on hiring criteria"
The politically correct version of the news. The Globe nearly buries the transgender issue by casually mentioning it at the end. And all the readers' comments have mysteriously disappeared!

So it didn't take long at all for them to "connect the dots" as Brian Camenker has said for MassResistance to link the crash to transgender hormone treats. Maybe the State could save some money by hiring MassResistance to use his power of perception to judge every case in court and under investigation since Brian can "just look at a photo of someone" and tell if they're a man or a woman, DNA wise that is. Oh, apparently they can also tell if they are on hormone therapy too. There's no proof that the T driver was hired under an affirmation action policy but having no proof has never stopped MassResistance from slinging accusations.

I LOVE Keith Olbermann

2009-05-13T08:30:00.000-03:00

And he spells it out clearly enough that even Miss California should understand:

How Long Till MassResistance Blames It on the Transgender Community?

2009-05-12T20:57:00.003-03:00

My husband just mentioned to me that he had heard on the radio that the T-driver in last week's Green Line accident is transgender. Why that is even an issue or has anything to do with the accident is beyond me.

Aiden Quinn should be fired from the MBTA if it is determined that he was using his phone to send text messages while driving, end of story.

However, we figured we'd start a countdown to see how long it would take MassResistance to blame the accident on the transgendered community... gays, lesbians, the Acton police, Governor Deval Patrick, President Barak Obama and MSNBC.

Soft Porn Model is now Spokesperson for NOM

2009-05-05T19:00:00.001-03:00

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Last week at a press conference for the Nation for Marriage's latest ad, Carrie Prejean, Miss California said this about marriage equality:

It’s not about being politically correct; it’s about being biblically correct, that how I was raised as a little girl, it’s say it in the Bible, that’s what I believe.

Then we found out that the Miss California USA Pageant paid for her to have breast implants. Maggie Gallagher went on Larry King Live on Friday and scolded the President of the Miss California USA Pageant for releasing "personal medical details" about Miss California. Then today we find out that Carrie Prejean posed for some very racy pictures, so racy that NBC couldn't even show them on the TV.

NOM's spokesperson Maggie Gallagher also defended her after the first press conference but stated oddly, that Miss California was not a spokesperson for NOM. Now Ms. Gallagher felt the need to defend her again when the soft porn pictures of Miss California appeared:

(Princeton, NJ) - Today, Maggie Gallagher, President of the National Organization for Marriage, released the following statement regarding Carrie Prejean: “Because Carrie honestly said what she believed in answer to a question--marriage is the union of a man and a woman-- she is now the subject of ongoing character assassination. The level of hatred directed at her is astonishing. Even more astonishing is her personal courage and strength of character in the midst of these attacks. Of course Carrie is not perfect. On a personal note, as a former unwed mother, I want to say to Americans: you don’t have to be a perfect person to have the right to stand up for marriage. Nothing gay marriage advocates can do can change the fact—we all saw it on national TV—that Carrie is a young woman who surrendered all the glitter Hollywood has to offer, because she would not become the kind of person afraid to say the truth.

"Through Carrie, we are also learning, the lengths some people will go to hurt and harass those who speak up for marriage.”

So I guess the victim here is Carrie Prejean because the homosexual marriage activists must have gone back in a time machine and forced her to take the racy pictures in just panties then hopped back into that time machine, signed the Miss California USA Pageant entry form vowing not to have done any nudity or partial nudity THEN fast forwarded again to today (or last night) and leaked the totally fabricated soft porn pictures to the press. McFly!

I hope NOM is getting donations because Carrie Prejean should sue them for exploiting her. We know she probably won't work because who is going to hire her, especially after she's fired from the Miss California USA Pageant for lying on her application. (I guess the homosexual activists will get blamed for her lying on the application too). If she does go to Fox News, who will do her hair and makeup since no self respecting gay person is going to touch that?

And Miss Anti-Gay Bigot is...

2009-04-30T19:15:00.000-03:00

I'm sure you've read about it by now, but Miss California, who was supposed to be working on behalf of Special Olympics has devoted her time and tiara to NOM. She even presided over a press conference today, take a gander:

Words escape me after watching that! Who knew that fake boobs were OK in the Miss USA pageant? And it appears that the Miss California pageant paid for those breast implants. Hmm...I'm thinking the NOM people vetted their newest spokesperson about as well as John McCain vetted his running mate.

PFLAG's Annual Party!

2009-04-26T09:05:00.003-03:00

Next week, Saturday, May 2nd is Greater Boston PFLAG's annual Pride and Passion party:

The guest list includes Congressman Barney Frank, Channel 5 news anchor David Brown and Honorary co-chairs Robert and Joan Parker.

As usual they have some incredible auction items including an African Safari and a chance to tour the "Dancing with the Stars" set and attend a live taping!

Brian Camenker/MassResistance hates this group for its "Safe Schools" program that engages with schools to change attitudes and end bullying. The need for this program is more apparent than ever with the recent suicide in Springfield of an 11-year old due to bullying.

So much more could be done to prevent future tragedies. GB-PFLAG receives absolutely no funding from the national PFLAG organization. Basically all of its funding comes from individual and corporate donations, and this annual fundraiser. GB-PFLAG has had dramatic success in getting straight students to reject gay-insensitive behavior. The best thing about attending this annual parties is the chance to hear from straight students whose schools had a GB-PFLAG engagement.

Marriage Equality Hearing in Maine

2009-04-22T19:00:00.002-03:00

Today was the marriage equality hearing in Maine for the LD1118 and LD 1020 and guess who was there....

If you guessed Mad Dad David Parker, you were right. He talked about his failed lawsuits and wasn't exactly telling the whole truth. It took another citizen from Maine, who runs a protection from violence program in Portland, to set the record straight (so to speak). He stated how David Parker got arrested because he told the police that he was not leaving the elementary school until they arrested him. He also read from the book which David Parker is against "Who's in a Family":

"Laura and Kyle live with their two moms, Joyce and Emily, and a poodle named Daisy. It takes all four of them to give Daisy a bath"

Wow, that's SO controversial!

You might still be able to catch the hearing because there are lots of people present.

MassResistance's Legislative Delusions Continue

2009-04-06T00:00:00.000-03:00

MassResistance has been posting some real oddball stuff lately but this takes the cake. They've always been a far off fringe group however only now are just beginning to realize it:

We believe that this is the year that the outrage of parents and citizens will finally boil over. Maybe it's the David Parker case, (which has lost on every level it's been appealed to even the Supreme Court who refused to hear it) maybe it's the economy (yeah, you're losing your retirement, but dammit, those gay shouldn't be getting married), maybe it's the enormous public money given to homosexual activists and other special interests in the schools and everywhere else (yeah, the homosexuals are rolling around naked in all that dough, we're all over Wall Street you know and I'm sure Scott Lively will be writing a new book on how the homosexuals are responsible for the Bush Depression). The Legislature is finally going to feel the wrath of our side. (This is great, I can't wait to see this happen, Hey Brian, still gathering those signatures to repeal State laws?) We've made sure that there are some good bills to clean things up. (OK, how many State Legislators are going to sign onto a bill by a nationally recognized hate group,...anyone...?)

Their whole list of "good bills" reads like a Dick and Jane novel: This bill good, their bill bad and they are still beating that Mad Dad Parker issue to death. Nobody cares. I'd recommend Mad Dad Parker spent less time in State court and more time on a basketball or squash court.

MassResistance also is touting that they are one of 22 "pro-family" groups confronting the Day of Silence. Who are these other "pro-family" groups (lucky for them they can't be put in jail for misrepresentation) Take a gander:

Abiding Truth Ministries
American Family Association
AFA Michigan
AFA Pennsylvania
Americans for Truth
Association of Maryland Families
Campaign for Children and Families
Citizens for Community Values
Coalition of Conscience
Community Issues Council
Concerned Women for America
CWA of Washington
Culture Campaign
Faith2Action Faith, Family & Freedom Alliance
Illinois Family Institute
Indiana Voice
Liberty Alliance Action
Liberty Counsel
Maine Family Policy Council
MassResistance
Mission: America
PFOX

Just the same list of losers sucking on the anti-gay teat. Most of these organizations are just like MassResistance too, one person operations with a big names to give the appearance that they're legit.

I still trying to figure out why Brian updated his website today and still hasn't addressed the unanimous decision by the Iowa Supreme Court. Even Thhttp://americansfortruth.com/news/iowa-same-sex-%e2%80%98marriage%e2%80%99-ruling-an-assault-on-midwestern-values-says-aftah%e2%80%99s-labarbera.htmle Peter got something up on Friday.

Marriage Equality Comes to Iowa!

2009-04-03T11:30:00.003-03:00

Breaking news:

DES MOINES, Iowa – The Iowa Supreme Court issued a unanimous ruling Friday finding that the state's same-sex marriage ban violates the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian couples, making Iowa the third state where marriage will be legal.

Of course, this would be the 4th state however, California is still up in the air. This is also big news because this is the Midwest. Congratulations Iowa!

Oh, and it was UNANIMOUS!

Brian Begs for More Money

2009-03-18T19:30:00.002-03:00

I read with interest MassResistance's latest posting where they appear to be thrilled that they think they're stopping civil unions in Hawaii, however, it wasn't until I read their March 11th email that I was ROTFLMAO:

In case you can't read it:

Will you do one (or both) of the following:
1. Will you give a donation of any size right now? (large font)
2. Will you become a monthly donor, via credit/debit card?

Now how many people in their right minds would trust Brian with their debit card information? Then again, the people that do contribute to him are NOT in their right minds not if they know that most of the money given to MassResistance goes directly to Brian. He's even trying to get people to volunteer their time to do fundraising for him too!

Throughout the rest of the email all Brian does is beg for more money. If you've forgotten, they held a fundraising banquet earlier this year, yeah, I guess they didn't raise too much money if he's begging for more. Add to that Porno Pete from Americans for Truth is constantly asking for money as well as FRC and AFA and you get a lot people wanting money from a diminishing universe.

Wouldn't you think that having MassResistance named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center would increase their donations? Guess not. Oh, and they recommend people go to the MassResistance blog, which hasn't been updated since Dec. for more "in depth" information.

Sit back, get some popcorn and watch the fireworks, the finale is starting.

The Road Hately Traveled

2009-03-05T07:00:00.000-04:00

Just a few reasons why the anti-gay MassResistance is a Hate Group:

Transgender janitor in Mass. elementary school! They post the telephone number for the school so readers of their hate can harass the school administrators.
They continuously put the term marriage in quotes "marriage" because they chose to believe that all marriages in Massachusetts are not legal. So maybe stealing is not really "stealing" and just borrowing or recording underage students without their knowledge is not "wiretapping" but listening.
Praise the Catholic Pope when they believe he's saying gay people are bad but are curiously silent when the same Pope raises up a Holocaust denier (hmm...was he friends with Scott Lively?)
Call gay people fascists when they stick up for their rights but call themselves "pro-family" when they intimidate, harass and petition legislators and the public to take away or deny rights to GLBT Americans.
Show up at Gay Pride Parades and photograph and videotape young children against their will and post it on the web mocking them and their parents.
Violate the privacy of a young woman by photographing pictures on the wall of her bedroom and posting for all the world to see that she is a special needs student.
Lie about their organization's name so they can book at room at hotel to hold a fundraiser (that only benefits the man's who started and runs the organization under the guise of "protecting families")
Brag that they have thousands, maybe millions of supporters and will turn back the laws that the Mass Legislature passes to protect GLBT people

OK, so the last bullet doesn't make them hate group, just a bunch of lying pathetic losers who will say and do anything to get any publicity possible.

Anti-Gay MassResistance is Proud to be a Hate Group

2009-03-02T20:44:00.005-04:00

The calendar challenged MassResistance finally updated their website after almost a month of inactivity and what do they post? A very long diatribe about how they're NOT a hate group and how the Southern Poverty Law Center, is really a far left pro-homosexual organization, who knew?

It's a common theme of the left, going back to the Saul Alinsky tactics in the 1930s, to demonize your enemies if they become effective. This was adopted by the homosexual movement. In their classic manifesto After the Ball, Marshall Kirk & Hunter Masden advised activists to compare people with traditional values to the Ku Klux Klan (which lynched blacks).
For the second year in a row, the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has declared MassResistance, along with other pro-family / Christian / traditional values groups around the country, as "hate groups". In most cases, the "crime" is publicly disagreeing with the homosexual agenda. There are no specific reasons given, besides a general label.

I wondered how many times the anti-gay MassResistance has to reiterate that they're "pro-family" because no one is buying it. It's also interesting that the anti-gay group cherry picks the groups that they say SPLC names as hate groups. For some reason they fail to mention that Fred Phelp's Westboro Baptist Church, the Watchmen on the Walls (another Scott Lively group) and the Heterosexuals Organized for a Moral Environment aren't anti-gay hate groups either.

The anti-gay MassResistance certainly has a lot to say about a group they claim is an angry, arrogant, far left radicals, un-American. pro-homosexual who just tries to intimidate and silence their opposition. (I guess Brian thinks he has the monopoly on press releases too) Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

This "hate group" stunt is simply meant intimidate and silence their opposition. And there's something un-American about that kind of tactic. Clearly, groups like SPLC consider the truth to be their biggest enemy. But it won't work with us.

That's partially right, the truth has never worked for MassResistance.

The Truth is Out Here

2009-02-28T08:22:00.004-04:00

It seems the Religious Right has been quoting the anti-gay MassResistance at various public hearings so I put together a few bullet points about MassResistance that may prove useful about what or who MassResistance/Brian Camenker really are:

The anti-gay MassResistance has been named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for two years in a row. The SPLC has stated that the groups on their list are: "Anti-gay groups are organizations that go beyond mere disagreement with homosexuality by subjecting gays and lesbians to campaigns of personal vilification."
At a recent MassResistance Banquet, the guest speaker was Scott Lively, the author of the book The Pink Swastika which alleges that gay men were not particularly persecuted under the German Nazi regime, and that homosexual men were especially prevalent in the ranks of German Nazism, and were in large part, the motivators of the Jewish Holocaust.
In an interview with the Daily Show, Camenker said that if he was given enough time he could "connect the dots" to same sex marriage in Massachusetts for the rise in homelessness and crime rates and the poor air quality.
MassResistance protested a Macys store in Boston because they believed Macys was dressing transgendered mannequins in their windows. MassResistance went so far as to roam the Macys and photograph what they considered "normal" mannequins and then compared the photos on their website.
On the MassResistance blog, the group stated that children learn about sex from hearing noises outside of their parents locked door: "And sometimes the bedroom door is locked and he hears noises. This is a child's normal introduction to sex. It is simply put before him in the context of normal, healthy family activities."
Even former Governor Romney, who is not an ally of the Marriage Equality movement issued a press release exposing Brian Camenker and this group MassResistance.

This website was created to expose the truth about MassResistance so please feel free to use any of the infomation on here.

MassResistance Wins Again!

2009-02-26T19:00:00.003-04:00

For the second year in a row, anti-gay MassResistance was named a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC states that hate groups in the country increased by 4% in 2008 from 2007. They are listed with 12 other active anti-gay groups in the country. The SPLC states that:

Anti-gay groups are organizations that go beyond mere disagreement with homosexuality by subjecting gays and lesbians to campaigns of personal vilification.

Wow Brian, congrats! Now you have another success story to put on your list and for 2 years in a row! Way to go!

A bit more disturbing is the addition of another anti-gay hate group in Massachusetts, the "The School of Christian Activism" in Springfield, Mass. What isn't surprising is that none other than anti-gay and Nazi revisionist Scott Lively, friend of anti-gay MassResistance's Brian Camenker (and one of the GREAT speakers at Brian's Annual Benefit) is associated with this "church".

Both of their Wikipedia entries for Lively and Camenker list them as being "conservative" when in fact they're anti-gay activists. Their histories have shown that these two men are obsessed with gay people and make their living off the hatred of gays and lesbians.

Psst...Did You Go To The Annual Brian Camenker Benefit?

2009-02-26T06:30:00.000-04:00

It's been almost a month since the anti-gay MassResistance Annual fundraising Banquet or the Brian Camenker benefit (depending on how you look at it). You remember, the one that was supposed to "unveil our plans for winning the culture war in the Massachusetts State House". They were supposed to have 3 GREAT Speakers too! A washed up one term Republican Rep. from Texas, the Nazi revisionist Scott Lively and the ever present always in the court room Mad Dad David Parker. Gosh, I would have been sitting on the edge of my seat after listening to them! The banquet was such a big hit that everyone is talking and writing about it...except they're not.

In fact, even the anti-gay MassResistance website doesn't have anything about it however they did post an update on Feb. 13th. It stated that the anti-gay MassResistance, AKA Brian Camenker, searched high and low to find sponsors for his anti-gay bills in the Mass State House (hey Brian, how's that winning the culture war working out for ya in the Mass State House?). This past week BayWindows reported:

According to a post on MassResistance’s website the group "spent days in the State House, going door to door trying to get sponsors for these bills and talking to as many people as we could. We finally got what we needed, but it wasn’t easy."

And how does the future look for these anti-gay bills, BayWindows reports:

None of the group’s past anti-gay bills have gained traction in recent sessions, and with the appointment of two LGBT rights supporters, state Rep. Marty Walz (D-Boston) and state Sen. Robert O’Leary (D-Barnstable), as co-chairs of the Joint Committee on Education, there is little indication they will meet with greater success this year.

Well, there never is any information on the Camenker anti-gay benefits, whether this is because no one shows up or the people that do go are too embarrassed to publicly support the anti-gay MassResisance I'm not sure (even the hotel said they weren't holding a room for MassResistance so apparently Brian Camenker can't even reserve a room in the organization's name!)

However, I do think it's important that the sponsors of the bills that the anti-gay MassResistance is putting forward are aware of their status as a hate group. Here are the sponsors of the anti-gay MassResistance bills:

"An Act Regarding Parental Notification and Consent," is sponsored by Rep. William Greene (D-Billerica)
Telephone: 617-722-2210
Facsimile: 617-722-2215
E-Mail: Rep.WilliamGreene@hou.state.ma.us

A bill to abolish the Massachusetts Commission on GLBT Youth, is sponsored by Rep. Robert Hargraves (R-Groton),
Telephone: (617) 722-2305
District Office: (978)-448-5456
Facsimile: (617)-722-2598

If you're a fan of Project Runway you're sure to love "RuPaul's Drag Race":

9 contestants are vying for the title of America's Drag Queen Superstar. In the first episode these nine contestants must re-invent their glam drag looks using thrift store clothing and tschotchkes from the 99-cent store. Guest judge Bob Mackie stops by to help RuPaul weed out the drag queen with the least style.

Each cast member must embody the charisma, uniqueness, nerve and talent that made RuPaul an international drag superstar. The judges will determine the bottom two contestants of the week. Those contestants then compete in a show-stopping battle-royal "lip-synch for your life" performance that will determine if they will "shante" and stay and who will "sashay" away.

The show is a lot of fun. I first saw it while I was on the treadmill at the gym and almost fell off. New episodes air on Logo on Monday nights at 10:00PM but plays throughout the week. It also airs on VH1 at different times. Check your TV guide for more information.

Did Ya Hear about the $5.00 Cheaper Meal?

2009-02-08T09:56:00.004-04:00

OK, it's been a week and a day since the most powerful MassResistance Fundraising Banquet ever with the $5.00 cheaper MEAL and MassResistance, aka, Brian Camenker, still hasn't posted anything about it! He, I mean they, were supposed to unveil the plans for winning the culture war in Massachusetts State House (Brian did ya get the memo that the new Speaker of the House is FOR Marriage Equality?)

Nevertheless, they did find time to post these jewels:

Transgender janitor in Mass. elementary school!
School sends letter to inform parents that male employee is now a "woman".
Says it will tell children in "simple, straightforward" manner
Homosexual lobby files 8 bills in Legislature to push agenda even further this year
An assault on Massachusetts. Several re-files of bills that got killed last session by MassResistance efforts.

First, ensuring themselves another spot on the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hate Group list, MassResistance goes after a transgendered janitor who works in a school AT NIGHT! MassResistance is supposedly concerned about the children but instead they are going after a hard working person who is just trying to earn a living and pay their bills, unlike Brian Camenker who sends out emails asking people to donate and fund HIS lifestyle of hate.

MassResistance also provided the telephone numbers and email addresses of the school administrators so their lemmings can verbally and electronically harass them.

In the second bullet they once again claim success for "killing" bills by the homosexual lobby. Yeah Brian, add it to your other "successes", you know, the ones you had nothing to do with but claim victory for anyway. Oh, and if by "killing" you mean sent to a study, yeah, you killed it and when the Legislature passes them in this session how will you spin those? Like you did when you claimed you stopped money from funding the gay and lesbians programs in the state:

Successfully lobbied Legislators to sustain Gov. Romney's veto of the dangerous new independent "Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth" (one of only a few of his vetoes to be upheld in the Legislature), through grassroots action. Unfortunately, through subsequent arm-twisting tactics by the Speaker, it was later overturned. (July 2006)

or when you successfully got enough signatures to overturn the repeal of the anti-gay racist 1913 law:

What this Referendum means
This is a big deal. Besides eventually stopping a horrible social experiment from being forced across the country, this sends some very strong messages...
And as we said, the rest of the Boston media isn't far behind. They really don't get it. They're going to be very disappointed when we get done . . .

Keep up the good work Brian, the economy's bad, we need a good joke to laughter at.

MassResistance is Running Scared!

2009-01-29T22:00:00.003-04:00

How else can you explain why they have a webpage outlining their banquet this Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 6:30 PM, yet there is no link or advertising on their official website's front page or the blog (which hasn't been updated since Dec.)

Additionally, they posted at the top of their site last year that they would be posting their weekly email updates on their webpage. If you happen to look now it's still listed as December 28 yet we know that they have sent out at least 2 other updates since then. I won't even get into their "We update our webpage every day" promise.

What's going on? If this is supposed to be their chance to "fight back" and their "unveiling of their plans for winning the culture war in the Massachusetts State House" wouldn't you expect a front page headline on their website? (Brian, how'd that citizen's petition work out for ya?)

They ARE a fringe group, my husband reminds me, but still, I wonder who would even attend this loony banquet? I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Mark Your Calendars: MassResistance Banquet This Saturday

2009-01-25T09:00:00.000-04:00

MassResistance is having their banquet this Saturday night, January 31, 2009 in Boxborough Massachusetts (gee they haven't posted anything on their website for the public to know about it, why do you think that is?):

2. MassResistance banquet set for January 31. An outstanding evening you won't want to miss! Start 2009 by fighting back!.
On Saturday evening, January 31, 2009, MassResistance is having one of its most powerful banquets ever. We will have (a) three incredible speakers, (b) a great dinner, and (c) we'll unveil our plans for winning the culture war in the Massachusetts State House. Given the critical times we're in right now, you definitely won't want to miss this. Our speakers are:

1. FEATURED SPEAKER: Former Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas).
Cong. Stockman was a conservative leader in the legendary "revolutionary freshman class" of the 104th Congress that forced unprecedented reform in the US House of Representatives. (See bio below.) Cong. Stockman will speak on "Why MassResistance is the model for the future of the conservative movement." He believes so strongly in what we're doing that he is waiving his speaking fee to come and address our banquet.
Also:2. Dr. Scott Lively, author of The Pink Swastika, 7 Steps to Recruit-Proof Your Child, The Poisoned Stream, and other books. (He gave an incredible speech at our last banquet.) He will discuss a very timely topic, "Unmasking Gay-Speak".
3. David Parker, a hero around the country for his courageous (and costly) battle for parents' rights against the homosexual tsunami in the schools. David's topic is directly from his heart: "The fight will continue."
MassResistance Banquet - Don't miss it!
DATE: Saturday evening, January 31, 2009
TIME: 6:30 pm - 9:30 pm
PLACE: Holiday Inn, Boxborough
$35.00 per person (Same GREAT meal for $5 less than last year!)$350 for a table of 10

There are so many wrong things going on here.

First off, who ever heard of 1 term Representative Steve Stockman from Texas? Here's a sentance that stood on on Wikipedia:

In June 1996, Stockman and his campaign alleged that Houston Press reporter Tim Fleck trespassed in Stockman's campaign headquarters, which was also his home, and terrorized his wife. Fleck countered with a lawsuit alleging libel and slander. Both the charges and lawsuit were later dropped.

Wow, you can't make this stuff up! This sounded eerily familiar! Oh wait, but there's more, he also sponsored a bill in the House to eliminate background checks, waiting periods, and registration requirements for firearms. Way to go Brian, you've got a winner there!

I've also written about professional gay hater Scott Lively before, the Southern Poverty Law Center detailed about the anti-gay violence going on in Latvia because of his book the Pink Swastika (which I believe has been panned by any credible researcher). And finally we have perennial lawsuit loser Mad Dad Parker, the goto guy for MassResistance who says he isn't involved with MassResistance. As you recall, Parker tried to sue the Lexington school system with a meritless claim but consistently lost every appeal all the way to the Supreme Court.

I think it's really important for the owners and staff at the Holiday Inn in Boxborough to hear from you all. I wonder how Holiday Inn would feel if they knew they were about to host a hate group in their facilities. I'm just asking.

Doing anything on Saturday night? I heard the baked chicken at the Holiday Inn in Boxborough is FABULOUS, although it does come with a huge dollop of Hate.

The White House Web Page

2009-01-21T18:30:00.001-04:00

Yes people! The White House has updated it's Civil Rights Web pages:

Support for the LGBT Community
"While we have come a long way since the Stonewall riots in 1969, we still have a lot of work to do. Too often, the issue of LGBT rights is exploited by those seeking to divide us. But at its core, this issue is about who we are as Americans. It's about whether this nation is going to live up to its founding promise of equality by treating all its citizens with dignity and respect."
-- Barack Obama, June 1, 2007

The site then goes on to list many of the issues the Administration will deal with:

Expand Hate Crimes Statutes

Fight Workplace Discrimination

Support Full Civil Unions and Federal Rights for LGBT Couples

Oppose a Constitutional Ban on Same-Sex Marriage

Repeal Don't Ask-Don't Tell

Expand Adoption Rights

Promote AIDS Prevention

Empower Women to Prevent HIV/AIDS:

And to think that it's only the first full day of this Administration!

MassResistance Perverts History Again

2009-01-19T08:00:00.001-04:00

I can't believe it. MassResistance, a recognized hate group, is quoting Martin Luther King Jr. and relaying it to their "struggle":

In our current struggles how many times have you been told that we need to be "reasonable" or "polite" and not offend people? Or that you are being an "extremist" because you confront people (and public officials) with the truth? That you need to go through "proper channels" and not be disagreeable? Or that your church has decided it's best to avoid difficult social issues? Sadly, this isn't new.

To have MassResistance quoting Martin Luther King Jr. is very offensive. Then I thought about MLK's dream. While his quest to wipe out injustice isn't even remotely similar to this hate group's activities, Dr. King would have hoped that by them quoting him, some of his insight into the world of injustice and quest for freedom might somehow trickle into MassResistance's follower's thoughts and deeds.

Dr. King would have never advocated publishing lies on the internet about people or harassing public or private individuals by publishing their home telephone numbers. MassResistance neglects to mention that Bayard Rustin, one of Dr. King's closest advisers and one of the men who organized the 1963 March on Washington was GAY and Dr. King was proud to have him at his side.

Coretta Scott King continued Dr. King's advocacy of non-violent protest and speaking out on injustice everywhere:

I still hear people say that I should not be talking about the rights of lesbian and gay people. ... But I hasten to remind them that Martin Luther King Jr. said, 'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.' I appeal to everyone who believes in Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream, to make room at the table of brotherhood and sisterhood for lesbian and gay people."

Anyone can quote Dr. King but that doesn't change the meaning of his words.

Equal Means Equal

2009-01-15T23:54:00.004-04:00

We watched the State of the State address tonight by Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick. All I can say is WOW! What a leader.

Oh, and he ended the speech with a little something like:

"Together we can" like "yes we can" is an assertion of character... and the same character that leads us to affirm, whether gay or straight, that in Massachusetts equal means equal."

I love this state!

No More Cola or Chicken Soup EVER!

2009-01-12T07:00:00.004-04:00

Yes folks, AFA is at it again. This time they are boycotting Pepsi and Campbell Soup:

Despite the fact that 30 states have passed constitutional amendments defining marriage as being between a man and a woman, Pepsi continues to support the efforts by same-sex groups pushing for homosexual marriage. AFA wrote Pepsi on
October 14 and again on October 29 asking the company to remain neutral in the culture war.

Pepsi didn't care enough to respond to the AFA letters. Pepsi's lack of response indicates the company plans to continue support for the homosexual agenda.Take Action!• E-mail Chairman Indra K. Nooyi. Tell her that you expect Pepsi to stop supporting the gay agenda.• After sending your e-mail, please call Pepsi (914-253-2000) (800-960-3602) and ask the company to remain neutral in the culture war.•
Forward this e-mail to your friends and family so they will know about Pepsi's support of the gay agenda.

Pepsi's products include Pepsi soft drinks, Frito-Lay chips (800-352-4477), Quaker Oats (800-367-6287), Tropicana (800-237-7799) and Gatorade (800-367-6287).

Yeah AFA, how'd that Disney, Ford and McDonald's work out for ya? Now it's on to Campbell soup and Pepsi. And don't you love how they talk about the "culture war", so "Christian" and yet all they can talk about is wars. I guess their lemmings will have to pull themselves from "The Jerry Springer" show for a minute to call Pepsi and Campbell Soup and tell them how terrible it is that they are advertising in the gay media, Oh horrors!

It's a New Year and MassResistance is still Looking for Money for Brian

2009-01-11T00:00:00.002-04:00

Happy New Year everyone. Yes, it's been awhile since I've posted anything. I guess I haven't posted for two reasons: 1) I've been enjoying the holidays, traveling and staying in touch with various people who I just don't get enough time to see and 2) MassResistance has had nothing new to say except send us more money which means Brian Camenker wants more dough for his pockets.

Let's face it, MassResistance is done. Massachusetts has a profamily Governor and legislature and it a little more than a week the United States will have a pro-family President, that's right, a President that really is pro-family because he values ALL families. It's an exciting time to be living through.

Meanwhile, MassResistance is still asking for money to pay Brian's bills, so is the Peter and every other anti-gay organization in the U.S. The economy is in the pits because of the soon to be ex-"pro family" President. Do you think the anti-gay hate groups have figured out yet that because of the bad economy and lack of money people wouldn't be contributing to them or care about their missions?

I'm still keeping watch and documenting the Massachusetts hate group's actions but fortunately there's really nothing to blog on. The Mass legislature won't vote on any of their insane actions and the people of the Commonwealth are sick of their bigotry. January 20th can't come soon enough.

Satan Phelps is Coming to Town

2008-12-06T18:04:00.001-04:00

It seems that David Parker supporter Fred Phelps of the infamous Westboro Baptist Church is coming to town...again. From Take Mass Action:

Fred Phelps' clan is coming to Boston! The "God Hates Fags" Westboro Baptist Church is coming to picket the Laramie Project at the Boston Center for the Arts. Fred Phelps and his group travel all across the United States spreading their message of hate. When the group comes to Boston, however, they will be helping to drive equality across America.

This hate group, like MassResistance, constantly publish press releases about their antics. However, they have been known to say they are going to be elsewhere and never show up. Communities tend to band together when this extreme group comes around. I think the last time they showed up was to support David Parker.

Anyhow, this time Driving for Equality is planning something. Head over to Chris's website to get more information.

More Evidence for the Southern Poverty Law Center

2008-11-29T07:38:00.003-04:00

Take notice Southern Poverty Law Center, MassResistance is continuing it's vilification of GLBT people. (MassResistance was named a hate group by the SPLC in March of 2008 for their activities in 2007 and didn't like it at all.) In two of its latest posts they have gone after the co-founder of KnowThyNeighbor and a transgender individual simply because one is gay and the other is transgender.

In the rant against Tom Lang, co-founder of KnowThyNeighbor, they don't think it's fair that two men can own a beautiful home. According to their logic, just because someone has money they aren't allowed to participate in the democratic process:

The palace has been a base for harassing opponents of "homosexual marriage". One of its owners, Tom Lang, is the infamous cyber-bully behind the "KnowThyNeighbor" web site, which published the names of anyone who signed the pro-marriage referendum petition in Massachusetts a few years back.

Uh, Ms. MassResistance, the law allows anyone to see who signs public petitions. You would think that a person who signs a petition to take away someone's civil rights would be proud of their activism. I mean look at all those people you got to sign the repeal of the 1913 law. Oh, wait a minute, you didn't get enough signatures from the thousands of people who supposedly support you. Nice job!

MassResistance even has the nerve to post a section of the Massachusetts law about intimidation of constitutional rights when all they ever do is try and intimidate people in the Commonwealth about marriage and education. This post clearly exposes the jealousy they have over Lange and his husband's home.

In their second post they go after Lorelei Erisis, someone who was protesting the recent anti-gay Prop 8 in California and they specifically go after her because she is transgender:

Remember that President-elect Obama has promised equal rights for the whole GLBT community -- "T" meaning transgenders or transsexuals. ("Gender identity" is the code language used for trannies.) Clearly, there is no bottom to this pit of confusion, sadness, and perversion into which these people have fallen. Yet our leftist political leaders will encourage even more troubled people to fall in.

That's right haters, equal means equal whether you are Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual or Transgender. Maybe you should crawl back under that rock for the next eight years. Your divisional politics of "Us against Them" is not going to work in United States of America anymore. The people have spoken.

Engage With Grace

2008-11-26T06:30:00.000-04:00

People need to talk with loved ones about their future care. You have a great opportunity tomorrow when you gather with friends and family to talk about those concerns that you may never have discussed before. When my Mom was in the hospital after a major stroke, luckily, we knew how she wanted to be cared for but many families are not so lucky and sometimes the hospitals overrule them. Please take a look at the message below:

We make choices throughout our lives - where we want to live, what types of activities will fill our days, with whom we spend our time. These choices are often a balance between our desires and our means, but at the end of the day, they are decisions made with intent. But when it comes to how we want to be treated at the end our lives, often we don't express our intent or tell our loved ones about it.

This has real consequences. 73% of Americans would prefer to die at home, but up to 50% die in hospital. More than 80% of Californians say their loved ones "know exactly" or have a "good idea" of what their wishes would be if they were in a persistent coma, but only 50% say they've talked to them about their preferences. But our end of life experiences are about a lot more than statistics. They're about all of us.

So the first thing we need to do is start talking. Engage With Grace: The One Slide Project was designed with one simple goal: to help get the conversation about end of life experience started. The idea is simple: Create a tool to help get people talking. One Slide, with just five questions on it. Five questions designed to help get us talking with each other, with our loved ones, about our preferences.

And we're asking people to share this One Slide - wherever and whenever they can.at a presentation, at dinner, at their book club. Just One Slide, just five questions. Lets start a global discussion that, until now, most of us haven't had.

Here is what we are asking you: Download The One Slide and share it at any opportunity - with colleagues, family, friends. Think of the slide as currency and donate just two minutes whenever you can. Commit to being able to answer these five questions about end of life experience for yourself, and for your loved ones. Then commit to helping others do the same. Get this conversation started.

Let's start a viral movement driven by the change we as individuals can effect...and the incredibly positive impact we could have collectively. Help ensure that all of us - and the people we care for - can end our lives in the same purposeful way we live them. Just One Slide, just one goal. Think of the enormous difference we can make together.

Sucking on the MassResistance Donor's Teet

2008-11-21T22:29:00.001-04:00

I've been blogging for awhile now about how most of the money collected by MassResistance goes into Brian Camenker's pockets. This was confirmed this week by Ethan Jacobs of BayWindows:

Camenker’s anti-LGBT non-profit group Parents Education Foundation (the public education branch of MassResistance) paid Camenker $49,200 in 2007 for his role as president of the organization. What’s even more surprising is that over that same year the group only took in $56,226 in donations and other sources of revenue. About 88 percent of all the money coming into Parents Education Foundation went right into Camenker’s wallet.

Surprisingly, Ethan notes that MFI's leader, Kris Mineau, who works a 40 hour week only makes about $41,000 for his anti-gay work yet Brian only clocks in 25 hours a week. Who do you think OK's his salary because on the Mass. Secretary of State's website Brian is not only the President but the treasurer too.

5 years Ago Today

2008-11-18T06:00:00.001-04:00

It was 5 years ago today when I read the decision at the Court house. Having never read one before I didn't know where to look, but my husband on the phone telling me to flip the page, flip the page and there is was. Tears welled up in my eyes when I read it. Enjoy:

Marriage is a vital social institution. The exclusive commitment of two individuals to each other nurtures love and mutual support; it brings stability to our society. For those who choose to marry, and for their children, marriage provides an abundance of legal, financial, and social benefits. In return it imposes weighty legal, financial, and social obligations. The question before us is whether, consistent with the Massachusetts Constitution, the Commonwealth may deny the protections, benefits, and obligations conferred by civil marriage to two individuals of the same sex who wish to marry. We conclude that it may not. The Massachusetts Constitution affirms the dignity and equality of all individuals. It forbids the creation of second-class citizens.

And the only thing that has changed is that families are stronger and more protected.

MFI's Future of Marriage Forum

2008-11-17T20:41:00.001-04:00

Today I attended the “Future of Marriage: Five Years After Goodridge” at the Suffolk University Law School. The forum was put on by the Massachusetts Family Institute and included Maggie Gallagher, Jeff Jacoby, Phil Moran and David Parker. Kris Mineau of MFI was supposed to be the moderator but essentially just played Emcee because all of the panel just gave speeches.

I arrived a few minutes before the start of the event. Have you ever been to a wake? If so you know what the atmosphere was like.

Just to remind you, the topic was the “Future of Marriage”.

First up was Maggie Gallagher who talked for about a half hour immediately asking the crowd to identify whether they were for or against gay marriage. Dividing the crowd is always a good ice breaker. All that stuck out from her talk was that she doesn’t like being called a bigot. That seems to be the biggest concern from her side, they don’t like to be called haters even though they want to take away people’s rights. She doesn’t believe it is bigotry to recognize that there is a special unique relationship between men and women and we should give them special rights. She says she has a dim view of the U.S. if marriage is redefined.

Jeff Jacoby was up next and to be honest, he was a bore. He blames Frank Rich of the NY Times for starting the “haters and zealots” language when Frank equated San Francisco’s marriages in 2004 to the racial discrimination in the south at the lunch counters. He doesn’t believe it’s a civil right even though several civil rights leaders who marched in the south do.

Then some lawyer who is the President of the Pro-Life Legal Defense Fund goes up and just reads from the Goodridge decision. He, like MassResistance, believes that marriage equality is not legal in Massachusetts and blames Mitt Romney for issuing the marriage licenses.

Finally, David “Mad Dad” Parker gets his chance. He blames marriage equality for his arrest, again, he never mentions that he chose to be arrested after being told if he didn’t leave he would get arrested. He believes that homosexuals want to indoctrinate children with their books and lessons. Side note to David: I went to elementary school and read all those lovely heterosexual stories, Cinderella, Snow White, etc… and I’m still gay.

In all, they didn’t talk about the future of marriage at all. They all were just living in the past and didn’t want to be called bigots.

Update: Massmarrier over at Marry in Massachusetts was also there at the forum. Check out his version of the event.

MassResistance: Psychic HQ's?

2008-11-15T09:37:00.000-04:00

Well, Brian is at it again, he's reading the minds of gay people. Get this from their latest email update:

3. Commentary: The real reason they're so enraged.
On the surface, it would seem strange that the homosexual movement is so enraged at the passing of Proposition 8. California already had a domestic partnership statute that gave same-sex couples all of the significant rights and obligations traditionally associated with the institution of marriage. Proposition 8 doesn't change that. Prop 8 only deals with the word "marriage". It simply says, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California."
Like the recent weak Massachusetts marriage amendment, it allows any kind of exact copy of marriage. So they already have everything they want.But they don't really have what they want. They're not that interested in technical rights.
They want acceptance. They want acceptance of homosexuality to be forced on a society that would never accept it without coercion. That's why the word "marriage" is much more important to them than the rights and obligations of marriage.
At a very visceral, emotional level they want all of society's institutions -- the schools, government, business, media, etc. -- to recognize homosexual behavior as a natural equivalent to heterosexuality. That's why the word "equal" is a part of so many of their activities and organizations.
But humanity being what it is, over all these thousands of years, the radicals know that what they want won't ever happen on its own. Ultimately, a human court or legislature can't repeal the laws of nature. That's a big problem for them.

Oh Brian, Brian, where DO you get your ideas? We could care less if you accept us. We're here, we're queer and we're not going to go away no matter how many times you change the name of your organizations. We pay taxes, just like you and we should be treated, just like you.

Oh, and the biggest problem with your "argument" against equal rights for gays and lesbians...homosexuality IS natural, check out the animal kingdom Brian. Remember that book about the Penguins? Yeah, it's not fiction.

She's Ba-ck! Again.

2008-11-13T07:30:00.000-04:00

Ms. MassResistance, like a vampire resurrected from the dead, is back again after almost 6 months in hiding. She first appeared yesterday with some nonsense about fascists then another post today about "Satanic Trannies". She also hasn't stopped the fear mongering:

Their banner in Wikipedia says, "These faggots kill fascists." The group is gearing up all over the country, no doubt soon joining the fray in Massachusetts.

"They'll be here soon in Massachusetts". Hmm...Ms. MassResistance, if Marriage Equality is the root of all evil, why didn't these "rogue" groups start here? I mean, according to your logic, anything you deem evil should all start in Massachusetts since same sex couples can marry here (and now Connecticut). Brian Camenker even confirmed this in his interview on the Daily Show where he claimed to be able to link gay marriage to everything.

I had never heard of these "Satanic Trannies", so a big thank you goes out to MassResistance for telling us all about them. I find it strange though, MassResistance is equating these people, and I don't know much about them, with GLBT people in Mass, yet when MassResistance is equated with their counter parts, groups like Fred Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church and Neo-Nazi's, groups that target and protest all things gay, they go berserk. Maybe they're afraid these "Satanic Trannies" will be going after them?

Is MassResistance Taking Credit for National Anti-Gay Marriage Amendments Passing?

2008-11-09T10:34:00.002-04:00

Read this from the MassResistance Website:

We also know that the MassResistance article "What same-sex 'marriage' has done to Massachusetts," was used extensively in California and Florida (and somewhat in Arizona), emailed, re-posted on websites, and sent as op-eds to newspapers. We were also interviewed on radio shows in Florida and California about that article.

I guess the people who might have read MassResistance's garbage didn't know that it was all BullS**t.

One of their ridiculous bullets in that article was that:

It’s become commonplace in Massachusetts schools for teachers to prominently display photos of their same-sex “spouses” and occasionally bring them to school
functions.

OOH, that's so radical, having pictures of a loved one or this:

All insurance in Massachusetts must now recognize same-sex “married” couples in their coverage. This includes auto insurance, health insurance, life insurance, etc.

Those silly gays, they want to protect their families by providing for them now and if something happens to them, they're immoral!

Brian Camenker is not successful with his gay hating tactics in Massachusetts and is looking for a bigger stage to beg money from since it appears that MassResistance pays his salary. MassResistance has been successful in uniting unlikely parties against their silly repeal of the racist 1913 law, it united both gay and other anti-gay organizations against them, now that's something to talk about.

MassResistance, in every posting on their website and every press release they put out, ensures that they will once again be listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center for years to come. Congratulations Brian!

We ARE the United States of America

2008-11-06T07:08:00.002-04:00

Hello, Chicago.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen, by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different, that their voices could be that difference.

It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states.

We are, and always will be, the United States of America.

I'm Still Waiting for Their Post about Their Stripper Employee too.

2008-11-01T12:48:00.001-03:00

Well, I wrote too soon. Yesterday I blogged about MassResistance failure at even getting one half of the signatures needed to repeal the racist anti-gay 1913 law. I even mentioned how they pulled all the information about the drive from their website, then lo and behold they put up a BS story about how they are now stronger than ever:

Referendum petition drive comes up short. Would have forced state-wide vote on
Legislature's repeal of "1913" law.
This was a fight about principle -against overwhelming opposition and suppression from all sides. One result: MassResistance now stronger.

If you read between the lines it means that Brian needs more money to run the HUGE organization that MassResistance has become so you better contribute because his bills won't be paid by wishing.

Of course, the do a lot of blaming and they blame the gays, again:

Homosexual activists terrorized our petition gatherers across the state. They would come up to them and scream horrible things, and then call the police (or store managers) with phony complaints and charges. It happened constantly. Homosexual websites sometimes tracked our signature-gathering activities. And they even tried to intimidate the MassResistance office by sending us a stream of obscene emails.

They make all these claims but have no facts to back them up. I would love to know which homosexual websites tracked them. With the exception of one article in BayWindows about the anti-gays collecting signatures at the Burlington mall, they got no publicity good or bad.

Yes, they point a lot of fingers except to recognize the three fingers that are pointing back at them.

Massachusetts is finally becoming aware of the hate group that dwells within its borders and proudly taking its place in history. Fortunately, Brian Camenker is also taking his place in history. Unfortunately for Brian, history will not be complimentary to him.

MassResistance's SUCCESS!!!

2008-10-31T14:15:00.003-03:00

at failing to get enough signatures to put the racist 1913 law on the ballot. YES!

I didn't need an email from Brian to already know this since it's been evident ever since they embarked on this anti-gay endeavor back in August.

But BayWindows has the story:

The effort by the anti-gay group MassResistance to reinstate the 1913 law has failed. The group had spent the past two months collecting signatures to place a referendum on the 2010 ballot to reinstate the law, which the legislature and Gov. Deval Patrick repealed in July, but by the Oct. 29 deadline for gathering signatures MassResistance had only managed to collect one-third of the total needed.

As BayWindows notes, MassResistance has removed all traces of this failed petition drive from their website, but not here. MassResistance Watch has all the information you need and I have all their hate mails detailing their progress:

It's impossible to get an exact count since people and signature sheets are scattered across the state.

I wonder what all those "$500.00" donors are thinking at this moment? "I gave money for what!?!" I'm guessing Brian's going to have to find a real job now unless he pocketed all the cash he claimed he raised for the petition which failed.

Finally, in the words of Brian Camenker's MassResistance:

What this Referendum means
This is a big deal. Besides eventually stopping a horrible social experiment from being forced across the country, this sends some very strong messages...

And as we said, the rest of the Boston media isn't far behind. They really don't get it. They're going to be very disappointed when we get done . . .

MassResistance Defends Alleged Stripping Photographer

2008-10-27T22:47:00.001-03:00

Gosh, I go away for a few days and it seems that the anti-gay forces over at MassResistance go berserk! Thanks to all those alert readers to forwarded me the links:

ANDOVER — A Wakefield man claimed he was standing outside a local school snapping photos of students for a documentary, but after a foot chase through backyards while stripping his clothing, police aren't buying his story.

Yes kids, it seems this guy was working for MassResistance, doing what Brian Camenker usually does himself, snapping pictures of assuming kids against their will only this guy, Michael Olivio, decided to strip away his clothing in the process. Brian was mentioned in the article though:

But Michael Olivio's employer has come forward to back up his story. Olivio, 48, works for the anti-gay rights group MassResistance.org. Brian Camenker (pictured at right), head of the group, said Olivio mistakenly went to West Middle School Tuesday to snap pictures instead of the high school.
Camenker said Olivio was to get pictures of the high school because the state Commission on Gay, Lesbian, Bi-sexual and Transgendered Youth held a meeting there Monday night.
"I figured I would do a write-up for the Web site and I wanted a picture of the high school," Camenker said.

Hmm...this seemed to happen last week and yet Brian still hasn't done a write-up for the website. And then there's the money quote at the end of the story:

Camenker said he attended Olivio's arraignment in Lawrence District Court and that they were considering legal action against the police. Olivio was charged with disorderly conduct.

Why is it that every time Brian Camenker gets involved there's the threat of lawsuits and conspiracy theories. It's always THEM, the police, legislators, Governors, bloggers, homosexual activists... But MassResistance staffers keep photographing children and now can add stripping to their successes!

Calendar Challenged MassResistance

2008-10-23T09:35:00.000-03:00

Well, Brian must read this blog because he finally changed his website. For a couple of days it looked like this:

Yes, Brian is still calendar challenged and can't seem to get his days of the week together (It makes sense when you realize he's living in some bizarro year, 1920's anyone?) Stay tuned because I will be posting about his new report "What Same-sex "marriage" has done to Massachusetts". Get out your popcorn and don't drink while you read it, because your beverage of choice just might come out your nose as you're laughing!
