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!)

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!

Bravo Know Thy Neighbor!

I haven't really talked about the nasty bills that Massresistance/Article 8/Brian Camenker submitted to the legislature for approval. I didn't discuss it because I really didn't think it was even worth the time since it had no chance of passing (Brian and Amy are in HEAVY denial if they think they were ever going to get anything passed in Massachusetts again!). But the latest news on their "bills" are just too tempting to pass up.

Massresistance/Brian Camenker claimed on their website that they got whopping 25 legislators to "co-sponsor" their Parents Rights Bill S321. However, Know Thy Neighbor did a little poking around Beacon Hill and found out that some of the "co-sponsors" never even signed on:

KnowThyNeighbor had a lengthy conversation with Senator Richard Tisei, The Senate Minority Leader, this morning and the Senator is stating that for the record, he did not request that his name be added as a co-sponsor of this bill and that his record on LGBT rights speaks for itself. Senator Hedlund's aide, Ted Langill, confirmed that they have no email or phone record that confirmed Tisei's request for inclusion in the bill that would require a parental permission slip for teachers to use the words "homosexual, lesbian, transgender" or to discuss the current equal marriage fight or acknowledge the existence of families being headed by same-sex couples. Senator Tisei also confirmed to KnowThyNeighbor that Rep. Fallon, Senator Tarr and Rep. Donato also found their names erroneously on Bill S321.

Know Thy Neighbor is now reporting that 11 legislators have retracted their sponsorship of Bill S321. In the words of Massresistance:


Your calls & emails were VERY effective!
Thanks go out to Know Thy Neighbor for continuously pointing out the fraud and deceit that the extreme right tries to pull over the citizens of Massachusetts.

Don't forget that the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention is this week on June 14th.
