Clown Car of Anti-Gay Hate Group Leaders Unloads in Front of HRC Headquarters: VIDEO

Hrc_labarbera

The Human Rights Campaign has posted a highlight video of Peter "Porno Pete" LaBarbera's parade of jokers who picketed in front of its headquarters yesterday.

Have a laugh, AFTER THE JUMP...

Some choice quotes from LaBarbera:

"The escalation of homosexual power is bad for America....The deviant sexual revolution represented by the HRC headquarters behind us is built on a foundation of lies....You could fill a small book with the fake gay hate crimes that have been staged over the years....Most sins don't get their own Pride parade."

HarveyFrom Mission America's Linda Harvey: "And children will be led into darkness, deception, and sin... HRC wants children to embrace the stress and anxiety of gender confusion. How wicked."

From Diane Gromley, American Family Association: "What is their to be proud of when the sexual activity in which one chooses to engage leads to increased health risk and early death...Gay is definitely not okay as the human body responds to being misused during unnatural homosexual sex."

From Patrick Mangan, Citizens for Community Values of Indiana: "There are thousands of former homosexuals in our country today and it is estimated that there are more who have come out of it than are in it....This is not a civil right. What is being asked for is special rights...blah blah blah The Poison Tree."

Also Liberty Counsel's Matt Barber and Eric Holmberg of Apologetics Group.

Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...

Wayne Besen: A Gunman's 'Associate'? A 'Murderous Homosexual'?

Wayne_besen-766081Getting Wayne Besen off The O'Reilly Factor has, in the past 48 hours, become an obsession on the anti-gay right. Andrew Belonsky wrote about its first stirrings on Thursday, when several ex-gay groups jointly published a press release directed at FOX News, the nastiest paragraph of which might have been:

We ask the News Corporation, Fox News, and Bill O'Reilly to find more ethical spokespersons for the liberal view of sexuality. In their infamous Washington Post ad accusing FRC of hateful values, Besen and the SPLC claim that "words have consequences."  Yes, they do. And Besen's may lead to violence.

Wayne Besen is the founder of Truth Wins Out, and he occasionally appears on television to say nice things about the Southern Poverty Law Center -- the same Southern Poverty Law Center that's labeled the Family Research Center a "hate group" (partially because the FRC has stumped for legislation legalizing the execution of "repeat homosexual offenders" in Uganda), and who, therefore, are supposedly responsible for last week's non-fatal shooting of an FRC security guard by a crazyperson.

Now, the anti-Besenites have become totally unglued. They've penned a petition, bound for FOX News and signed by such headlining homophobes as Scott Lively, Matt Barber, Matt Staver, and Peter LaBarbera, in which they accuse Besen of being an "associate" of the FRC gunman. They ask readers to sign the petition, and finish off with this PS:

P.S. Thank you for standing with us against anti-Christian violence by murderous homosexuals.  Please forward this free petition widely to your friends!

Even Peter LaBarbera -- even Bryan Fischer -- has never before gone quite so far as to call a famous, non-violent gay activist "murderous." This is usually Fred Phelps's territory.

Matt Barber Claims 'No Evidence' Of Violence Against Gay People: VIDEO

MattBarberDiscrimination

Explaining why he thinks it's alright -- indeed, a duty -- for nations to outlaw same-sex love, hateful Liberty Counsel activist Matt Barber today claimed there's no such thing as anti-gay discrimination or violence, so arguments against discriminatory laws are disingenuous.

What’s happening is they’re using this specter of some kind of notion of ‘mass violence’ committed against homosexuals, they do the same thing here in the United States, ‘mass discrimination,’ something where there is no evidence of course against people who are engaged in these behaviors. They use that as a Trojan Horse to force, to compel nations and individuals and groups and churches that embrace traditional values, relative to sexual behavior, to push them into the closet and say ‘no, no, you have to adopt a full affirmation of these perversions.’

Barber must know the definition of "evidence," "violence" or "discrimination." Hell, let's just assume he doesn't speak English, because the words he's using make absolutely no sense.

Americans For The Truth About Homosexuality Calmly Discuss Getting Their Windows Broken

FaithFreedom
Early this month, unknown vandals threw bricks through the windows of a building where Americans For The Truth About Homosexuality was to host their "American Truth Teller" award ceremony. (The ceremony was to honor Scott Lively, a Christian who wants African nations to create state-run reeducation camps for homosexuals.) AFTAH's been freaking out ever since.

On an episode of Liberty Counsel's "Faith & Freedom" program entitled ""Anti-Christian Terrorism Erupts Against Christian Liberty Academy," Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver and AFTAH chair Matt Barber explained the score. Freedom is dead, gays are Nazis, gays are also somehow Marxists, and even now packs of crazed sodomites roam the streets, savagely beating on old Christian ladies.

According to Barber, groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center are "fanning the flames" of anti-Christian violence by calling AFTAH a "hate group." Said Staver:

It's the same thing that happened in the Nazi Holocaust, where they start to just demonize and stigmatize, and then at some point in time you don't even think someone's human. We look at [the Holocaust] and our consciences are shocked, but if you look at how it ultimately began, where they began to demonize and dehumanize them -- that's what's happening with these labeling of hate groups.

Said Barber:

I've called on Southern Poverty Law Center, the Human Rights Campaign, a number of other homosexual organizations to publicly condemn this act of ... gay motivated terrorism. So far, crickets.

What an ugly America Matt Barber inhabits! Where LGBTs and liberals all want to shatter Christian windows and break Christians' bones! (For the record, Matt, we don't.)
