I knew it: Boy's Life Magazine Turned Me Gay!

Oh, dear, lunacy is at an all time high. Ms. Massresistance is referencing a World Nut Daily post about "Big Sodomy"! She (and the Wingnuts over at WND) want the ex-gays to file a class action lawsuit against...you know, I give up, I have no idea who they want to sue:

Hopefully Americans aren't as slow this time to accept the findings, as we were when all we did was smoke. If you have a friend or relative who has been persuaded by the media, big business, politicians, university programs, including courses of study, or any person or group to try this deadly lifestyle, and especially if your friend or relative is already suffering from a serious disease contracted as a result of it, talk to him or her at the first opportunity about the very real possibility of starting a class-action lawsuit against the group or groups that persuaded them to enter into the activity that did them in.

Once again, the nuts are calling being gay "that deadly lifestyle". Does that mean I can sue the Boy Scouts of America and that girl in college (who made me realize I couldn't go through with it just to see) because those are things I did and didn't do that must have made me gay?

I mention the Boy Scouts of America because yes, I am in fact an Eagle Scout and I spent quite a few years in the Scouting program. It was GREAT too, I learned a lot about taking care of myself in the Scouts. I've learned and met many Eagle Scouts who are also now gay men. Who else would spent so much time earning merit badges, doing good deeds and performing service projects for the community? Most of the straight boys I knew were out drinking and trying to have sex with the girls. Unfortunately, the Boy Scouts have now turned away boys who might be gay or are gay identified and would probably drum out any boy wasn't identified as "straight".

And that girl in college, well, we never did get it on, although she wanted to and she was attractive, however, my parents always taught me to wait until I found someone I loved, and well, I really wasn't interested. My parents taught me that sex was nothing to be ashamed of, but it is much more special if you loved that person, oh and take protection, wear a condom (because there were a lot of diseases out there and you didn't want to catch anything.) Mind you, this was pre-AIDS and my parents were being VERY REALISTIC (kids have sex).

Sexually transmitted diseases have been around for centuries and you have to protect yourself from them whether you are straight or gay.

I think its a riot that these "conservatives" who want people to take responsibility for their actions are so quick to blame the media, big business and politicians. These are the same people who talk about frivolous lawsuits and yet are calling for a class action lawsuit, I guess Martha Stewart should watch out, as well as the high school drama clubs. It must be because nothing says "you gotta be gay" than watching "The Laramie Project" and learning about how Matthew Sheppard was beaten to death and tied to fence because he was gay.

These hate groups are probably starting to get scared that the victims of gay bashings just might start suing them for inciting violence with their words and hatred (which coincidentally is what stopped the KKK, thanks Southern Poverty Law Center!)

Tweedledum & Tweedledummer

I just recently included a link to Pam's House Blend on this site. Pam's been covering the actions of the homophobic right for a while now, on the now defunct Massresistance radio show even called her a "A nutty lesbian blogger" so I'm in good company. It was through Pam's House Blend that I first started following Porno Pete's actions (Porno Pete is Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality)

Having been going on both Porno Pete's & Massresistance's websites I've noticed lately that they have been posting the same anti-gay propaganda:

• July 7th: Barber: ‘Gays’ Don’t Want ‘Marriage’ After All and Massresistance's The Myth of "Gays" Wanting "Gay Marriage"
• July 7th: Porno Pete's MUST VIEWING: Lesbian Gangs Raping Girls; GLAAD Tries to Block Airing of News Segment & Massresistance's Violent Lesbian & Gay Gangs Surface in Schools
• Porno Pete: Michael Glatze ‘Comes Out’ of Homosexuality: former ‘Young Gay America’ Magazine Co-founder & Massresistance's July 9th 2007 post Prominent national 'gay' activist leaves homosexuality--declares lifestyle 'repulsive'.

and finally, they both use Gay people to fundraise. Without us how would they fund their extra-curricular activity?

Porno Pete:

TAKE ACTION: Send Americans For Truth a $10 donation (postpaid) or make a $10 gift online and we will send you a “Truth Packet” that reveals some cold, hard realities about the homosexual agenda — including our booklet, The Homosexual Agenda Targeting Children.” The Truth Packet will guide you on simple steps you can take to start standing up for truth against the homosexual agenda

I guess these days the Anti-Gay Homophobic Web Ring is getting smaller and smaller and even though they keep repeating the same anti-gay propaganda they don't want people to know about the other anti-gay sites because that then infringes upon their fundraising ability.

The Latest Shocker: Massresistance Still Posting Anti-Gay Propaganda as News

For someone who is supposed to be always concerned with the truth (of course we know better) Ms. Massresistance just regurgitates the slop passed off as news by Bill O'Reilly of the Fox New Channel via the anti-gay Americans for "Truth" about Homosexuality:

The latest shocker: new violent homosexual gang activity is springing up in high schools across America. The O'Reilly Factor broke this news nationally a few weeks back, but since we don't watch much TV, we're only just now encountering this in Americans for Truth's report, "MUST VIEWING: Lesbian Gangs Raping Girls; GLAAD Tries to Block Airing of News Segment"(7-6-07).

Of course it does fit in with her obsession of all things gay however, the biggest issue with the post is that there are no facts to support the O'Reily news story. This up from the Southern Poverty Law Center:

Nine-millimeter Glocks painted pink? Dykes taking over? More than 150 lesbian gangs in the Washington, D.C., area alone? These claims are, as Wheeler ["Fox News crime analyst" Rod Wheeler] suggested, "very, very interesting." They're also very, very flimsy. Gaithersburg, Md., Detective Patrick Word, president of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Gang Investigators Network, an intelligence-sharing organization of 400 criminal justice professionals in Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Virginia, said there is no evidence whatsoever of a lesbian gang epidemic in his region. "Our membership reports only one lesbian gang," Word told the Intelligence Report.

(snip)

Confronted by the Intelligence Report, Wheeler was unable, in several phone and E-mail exchanges over a two-day period, to specify a single law enforcement agency or officer, police report, media account or any other source he relied upon for his D.C. area lesbian gangs claim. But he insisted that his report was accurate and that any law enforcement officer who disagrees is "out of touch." "For some reason or other, these organizations don't lay it on the line because they don't know what is going on on the streets," said Wheeler. "This is a serious crisis and the so-called experts are missing it."

Oh, and what about the TV report Ms. Massresistance says that GLAAD is trying to hide from the public:

Similarly, O'Reilly's introductory mention of a Tennessee lesbian gang called Gays Taking Over that is "involved in raping young girls" appears to have been based solely on a highly dubious Feb. 28 television report from WPTY-TV, an ABC affiliate in Memphis, Tenn. Featuring dramatic "reenactments" of high school bathroom rape scenes shot in grainy black-and-white footage, the lengthy segment's vaguely salacious claims about local high school girls being raped and "sodomized" with "sex toys bought on the Internet" was based almost entirely on the lurid musings of a single Shelby County gang officer.

Titled "Violent Femmes," the sweeps-week segment was so thinly sourced and grotesquely sensationalized that it's difficult to believe that any professional journalist found it to be credible. And it wasn't. Under intense pressure from local gay and lesbian activists, the affiliate's station manager finally admitted that WPTY-TV's reporters had neither independently verified the gang officer's overheated claims nor obtained any documentary evidence such as arrest records or written police reports to substantiate their tale. As the station grudgingly conceded, "Our investigation did not turn up widespread violence in schools due to this."

You can read all about the lies Ms. Massresistance is pushing over at the Southern Poverty Law Center's site. I guess their blog & Website is just like their failed radio show which had the subheading: "Local News and Views You won't hear anywhere else". The real reason you won't hear it anywhere else is because it isn't true!

Hat tip to Pam's House Blend for the link to the SPLCenter site.

Romney, Massresistance & Porn

Ms. Massresistance is off the gays (I'm sure for only for a brief time) and again attacking Mitt Romney, you remember him: the former absentee Massachusetts governor; the guy who Massresistance blames for removing them from WTTT, does the name ring a bell? Well, she is now posting about the apparent hypocrisy of Mitt being on the Marriott Board of Directors when Marriott allowed pay-per-view porn in the Marriott hotels. They want to know how much money Romney has made on hotel porn:

While Mitt Romney served on the Marriott Hotels Board of Directors for ten years in the 1990s, he benefitted financially from the chain's profiteering on hard-core pornography (available via in-room TV). If we break down Marriott profits during the period when Romney was involved, how much money did this devout Mormon make from porn purchases?

The same could be asked of Massresistance. They are the ones who put up, what they claim to be "gay porn" on their website (and repeatedly mention it in their emails) only to raise money to pay Brian Camenker and "volunteer" Amy's salaries. Likewise, they go after Romney for talking out of both sides of his mouth when they've done exactly the same:

• They claim to have Judeo-Christian values but are left standing with the plank in their own eyes as they are trying to remove the splinter's from other's eyes, including the sin of pride;


• They claim that they are against the "Vote On Marriage Amendment" yet at every instance A & B attack the Massachusetts legislators for not approving it. (Brian Camenker even signed the petition to put it to the voters all the while saying he was against it);


• They talk about gay people being "overly concerned with youth" when they are the ones entering both school and outside events videotaping and recording youths against their parent's permission and publishing their pictures on their websites.

Back to the Romney bashing, it all comes to light in a link provided by Pam's House Blend:

The poll results indicate that 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all Christian women are addicted to pornography," said Clay Jones, founder and President of Second Glance Ministries whose ministry objectives include providing people with information which will enable them to fully understand the impact of today's societal issues. 60% of the women who answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust; 40% admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year; and 20% of the church-going female participants struggle with looking at pornography on an ongoing basis.

I wonder if Massresistance knows the Christians who took this poll and know that they are lying (because we all know that a Christian would NEVER lie) Isn't one of the conservative principles taking responsibility for one's own actions and not blaming others for things that you do? Maybe, just maybe, Romney is trying to attract those 50% of Christian men who are addicted to pornography, you never know.

Week 6: Massachusetts Held Hostage...

from listening to Brian & Amy.

Yes, Virginia, it's been 6 six weeks since the last Massresistance: The Radio Show has appeared ANYWHERE! In 6 weeks they've missed talking about the Youth Pride March, the Parent's Rights Bill hearings, getting blasted by a Holocaust survivor, Boston Gay Pride and the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention. At least the GLBT mannequins are safe!


Because I've missed all those "Oh Man"'s and "bone chilling" descriptions my husband has taken up to using them when he goes through the mail just to settle my nerves. And of course we still miss that angelic voiced Amy with no last name.


Do you miss it? I know my life is not the same.

Massresistance Thinks It's Reasonable to Hit Another Person

For what seems like the umpteenth time, Massresistance is a day late and a dollar short. They now have on their website their version of why a woman, who attacked a man at the Constitutional Convention, was arrested. It's only how many days since the ConCon? Did it take that long to fabricate this story?

Diane was peaceably standing on the pro-family side of the street with her son, inside the blue police barricade. Her sign (see below) was provocative but nothing like the hate-filled anti-Christian signs the homosexual activists were waving. Even a little dissent isn't tolerated.

I guess the hate filled signs our side was carrying which said stuff like "No discrimination in the Constitution" and "Equal Rights for All", are, you know, really those anti-Christian type of signs.


Then all of a sudden someone started talking to her and she slapped him, but of course, we set it all up. Our side took her hand and forcibly hit the man she was arguing with or better yet, maybe the man just pushed his head into her hand, kinda like what they also claimed when Larry Cirignano assaulted that woman in Worcester:

It's very clear that they set her up. Soon after the vote was announced, homosexual rights supporter Jack Kirschenbaun of Malden went across the street and stood right next to her. A friend was standing right in front of them. Kirschenbaun began a vicious attack against Diane. "Why do you hate so much," he started out, and it went on from there non-stop, without allowing Diane to even reply. Then it got sexual. "Are you a virgin?" he shouted at her. "Have you ever had an orgasm."

At that point, Diane slapped him. "I wasn't really thinking about it," she said later. "It was just an instinctive reaction." It sounds reasonable to us.

(Does this legally constitute a sexual harassing verbal assault? The police weren't even interested. Also, the son was apparently several yards away and didn't hear the incident.) Did she ask the police? And why wasn't she watching her 9 year old son? Don't you think if she actually believed what she wrote on her sign then she wouldn't have even brought her son to be around, GASP, GAY people!

Let me repeat what they said when they heard that a woman violently attacked another human: IT SOUNDS REASONABLE TO US. Oh, really?! Massresistance is now OK with physical violence. For future reference, when Amy gets in your face and starts asking you about "Cum vomit", according to Massresistance, it is perfectly reasonable to slap her and claim it was just an instinctive reaction. Of course it is probably instinctual if you're prone to violence, WHICH IS AGAINST THE LAW.


I'll leave you with one last picture of the "petite" Diane Steele, look closely at the picture, what do you think she's saying? I wonder if her 9 year old son was nearby to see his slap happy mom get taken away? Give it up for Pro-family values.

Obsessed and Incensed with Gay Men

Brian and Amy are incensed! They finally updated their "daily" website after a week of nothing. And, what they ended up posting was a threat to the people who read their drivel:

These turncoat, sleazy elected officials are willing to give homosexual activists - not parents - the right to decide what children are taught. If you allow this, then YOU deserve whatever happens.

CALL them. VISIT them. EVERY ONE of these cowardly legislators needs to hear and feel your wrath until they get their names back on that bill, no matter how long it takes.

Yeah Brian, threatening your readers always works. The group who videotapes teenagers and secretly tape records children actually has the nerve to say:

Although the group is made up of adult homosexual males, they have shown an inordinate interest in children.

I guess Massresistance just wants to neglect the fact that Know Thy Neighbor has two directors, one who's gay and one who's straight, but then again, honesty was never Massresistance's strong suit.

Likewise, over at the Massresistance Blog, Ms. Massresistance is obsessing over more gay men, but this time they are gay, namely Marc Solomon of MassEquality and Patrick Guerriero of the Gill Foundation (and here and here too).

I think they're jealous of the financial support that groups who are against discrimination are getting. Bigotry isn't the money maker it once was. How many weeks has their radio show been off the air?

Brian Camenker/Massresistance: Holocaust Denier!

First there was the Nazi references in the email that Massresistance sent out to its group of haters where he equated gay people to the Nazis:

Did people in 1942 talk about respecting the Nazis "choice" of political philosophy? Or that we ought to consider letting Japan have Korea and the Solomon Islands if they'd let us have the Philippines - because that's what the "experts" say we could work out?

Then we hear from Tom Lang over at Knowthyneighbor who was at the Statehouse hearings yesterday:

At yesterday's hearing of Joint Committee on Education, Brian Camenker of MassResistance in support of Bill S321--Parental Notification--spent his three minutes of allotted time to speak in support of this bill by claiming that homosexuals were not among the 6 million Jews, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses and social outcasts killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust. Camenker went as far as to say that the whole "pink triangle" was made up in order to arrest Catholic priests.

And it gets worse, one of Camenker's minions who testified twice agreed with Brian. In her testimony before the Joint Committee on Education, she said that it was the Nazis themselves who were the homosexuals and they gave pink triangles to and arrested only the "most flamboyant of their own people."

So I guess pictures like this are photoshopped:

This is just incredible and really unbelievable. I wonder if the list of local homophobes who appeared on Massresistance's Radio Show agree with him? I wonder if the co-sponsors of the bill Brian "claims" to have written agree with him also? Tom says only one of the 25 co-sponsors showed up for the public hearing.

This is so appalling.

Only a Few More Days...

You only have a few more days to get your entries in for the "Courting Equality" Contest. In light of the cancellation of Massresistance: The Radio Show, just send in what you would say to Brian and Amy if you had their undivided attention. Remember, no profanity!

Email those entries to contest@masswatch.com.

WTTT Smackdown!

No, this isn't about some new wrestling show, it's WTTT, "Boston's Conservative Talk" and until yesterday, the host station for Massresistance's (A.K.A. Brian Camenker and Amy Contrada's) radio show.

Yes! It's true dear ones, Massresistance: The Radio Show is dead in the water. Apparently, they were given the BIG sign-off by the new general manager of the radio station who wouldn't even let them have one last hateful filled hour. What am I going to do on my Saturday mornings then Saturday afternoons now?

Of course, Brian has his own spin on the matter:

Mass-Resistance RadioShow
WTTT / Salem Radio has announced that it has permanently canceled the MassResistance Radio Show, after nearly two years of continuous weekly broadcasting.

Information from a Salem Radio source leads us to believe that pressure from the campaign of a certain Republican presidential candidate whom we've widely criticized prompted this decision.

Full report coming up later this weekend -- including what you can do. (Weekend's over but no report, it's not looking good kiddies)

Wow, they even have conspiracy theories to go along with it! I guess they don't have the homosexual activists to blame this one on or will they? Trevor Wright, in a comment over at QueerToday (and a Massresistance favorite) gets the prize for the funniest lines on them being booted:

They are claiming a right-wing conspiracy. Mitt is out to get them!! Next thing we are going to hear is that one of Mitt’s campaign staff wrote 'dust me' in Amy’s dirty house! Hahaha

Which got me wondering...for weeks (maybe months) Massresistance was teasing its readers with a headline about "Part 2" of the Mitt Romney Deception. It was supposed to have more secrets about Romney that nobody knew and they were going to release it in May. Well, there are only a few more days in May left and the "Sneak Preview" about "Part 2 of the Mitt Romney Deception" is mysteriously absent.

You might as well hang it up when the Religious Right Wingnuts, who you are supposed to be aligned with, are taking you off their airwaves.

They Just Look Like Happy Kids to Me!

Ms. Massresistance is at it again. She gleefully attended the Youth Pride Event in Boston two weeks ago with digital and video cameras in hand taking pictures of the youth she supposedly cares so much about.

She has the nerve to post pictures of people and because of how they look label them "dangerous". Since she is the one who is always talking about definitions, I guess "dangerous" must be an adjective meaning wearing a dress and makeup because that is all I can tell from the person in the picture. She must also have X-ray vision too since she seems to able to tell the gender of anyone that crosses her path (she does have a very unhealthy fixation on telling the women from the men).

Maybe it's just me, but I think adults, carrying all sorts of cameras, taking pictures of children they don't know, attending an event they are against, would definitely be described as dangerous and also perverted. How do we know what they are doing with all the pictures they are taking?

Here's what they claim on their website:

Vulnerable schoolchildren from 'gay clubs" in schools across the state mingle with adults, many clearly disturbed. "A sex offender's candy store." Kids encouraged to act out their 'gayness'.

So where's their head? If these school children are "vulnerable", as they like to claim, why are they photographing them? Are the "disturbed adults" they write about themselves?

They also really have to get over the drag queen thing too. They are the ones who had some butt ugly man dress up like Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice Margaret Marshall and burn a copy of the Massachusetts Constitution. Could it be that this is all about them being jealous that our drag queens are prettier?

Back Under A Rock

While celebrating this 3rd Anniversary, I couldn't help but reminisce about all the gay haters who "have left the building" (no, they're not dead, just gone from the Massachusetts anti-gay bandwagon):

• J. Edward Pawlick: The man who started MassNews disappeared from practically everywhere. His Massnews website is out of commission and although his wife's anti-gay website is still up, it hasn't been updated in years. It says they are still waiting for their "Bill of Address" to be voted on. (On a side note, this "Bill of Address" is Brian Camenker's claim to fame since that is the reason he started the Article 8 Alliance, to remove the judges, when that never happened they changed the name to Massresistance). Ms. Massresistance used to also write for this "conservative" website.

• Ron Crews: The head of the Mass Institute Against Gays A.K.A. Mass "Family" Institute before Kris "My marriage is affected by same sex couples marrying" Mineau, left the state to go back down south after a failed attempt to win a seat in the Massachusetts Legislature. He was one of the many Republicans then-Governor Romney boosted to initially run for office before Romney left the Massachusetts GOP in the dust (all the Republicans lost miserably because Romney became "Box-office poison") .
  
• Laurie Letourneau: This angry woman threatened to leave the State if same sex couples started getting married. They did and she did, good riddance. She also received the MFI Citizenship award.

• Larry Cirignano: He was part of the Vote On Marriage group until he physically attacked a young woman at a rally in Worcester. He also led the Catholic Citizenship in Boston. He has now been relocated to Virginia but comes back to Massachusetts for court hearings and anti-gay activism.

Actually, looking back on them all, most of them were involved with the Massachusetts Institute Against Gays. They seem to go through more members than Imelda Marcos went through shoes. This must be some kind of anti-marriage curse. Who will it strike next?

Ms. Massresistance Targets the Youths at Youth Pride & BAGLY Prom

QueerToday has a report on Massresistance harassing and photographing the youths at last week's Youth Pride. They confirm things that I have already known for years:

After Youth Pride Amy [Contrada of Massresistance: The Radio show & blog A.K.A. Ms. Massresistance] headed over to the BAGLY Prom where she showed her true colors. When Trevor Wright, organizer for the Prom and blogger for QueerToday, yelled at her to move she became infuriated. During their interaction, Amy hastily asked Trevor if he knew what "cum vomit" was. She insisted she read about "cum vomit" on the GLSEN web site, and that we were brainwashing young people to be "crazed homosexuals."

Later she claimed that there was no real difference between a pedophile and a homosexual. She insisted sex and "depravity" were going on inside the BAGLY Prom, and demanded to be allowed inside. The obvious truth is there is an adult volunteer for every 10 youth in the Prom, and as the BAGLY web site indicates all sex, drugs, and violence are banned.

I'm sort of surprised that Amy knew the definition of "cum vomit" (this is the first time I've heard those terms used together) since she has a problem defining terms that most everyone knows.

My husband and I chaperoned at the BAGLY prom a couple of years ago and I can attest to the "depravity" that went on. It was TERRIBLE. The youth's were calling us "Mr." and I even had to tell one of the participants to to not stand on chair! They were OUT OF CONTROL! Geez, these gay kids are wild!

But seriously, the youth present the year we were there were very polite. They seemed to be having a good time and we were glad. Sadly for us, it made us feel old, we were on the dance floor area and had to wear ear plugs because of the music but we still enjoyed helping out with the event.
