Monday's Minute of Hate

Via Slog and Good As You:

I saw this guy on G-A-Y a few days ago and was saving it up for today's minute of hate. Then someone posted it on Slog today. I'm not going to add much here as I don't really feel anger at this guy's views (they're regurgitation of the usual hate) just a sad little teaspoon of pity. 

Sorry homos.

Monday's Minute of Hate

Via Good As You:

How about a bit of good ol' Christian hate from nearby? Like maybe right here (where I am today) in Kentucky. Yes ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you, the always logical and always sensible Kentucky legislature is working up a bill - led by hate-monger, I mean republican, state senator Gary Tapp - to prohibit gay people from adopting children. (This from the same people who decided it would be best to just declare pi officially 22/7 in Kentucky and have done with it.)

According to an AP article Friday, Senate Bill 68 gained approval from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday. The bill, aimed at preventing gays from adopting or fostering children in Kentucky would also prohibit single parents-to-be from adopting and bucket-loads of kids needing homes from finding them. 

The article says:

The bill has become a lightning rod. About 100 opponents of the proposal rallied at the Capitol last month. Opponents say the legislation unjustly rules out potentially good parents just because they're not married in the traditional sense.

The committee action was praised by David Edmunds, a policy analyst for the Lexington-based Family Foundation. Edmunds says children in homes headed by unmarried couples fare worse in school and are more prone to face other problems.

Yes, it's SO much better for kids to grow up without any loving parents rather than two parents of the same gender or, god forbid, only one parent. When will these zealots realize that the nuclear family is dead and healthy well-adjusted kids come out of all kinds of families? Better yet, when are they going to bother reading the valid scientific research that will help them make sound decisions that are best for children rather than focusing on the Old Testament, which pretty much went out of date when Jesus came around. 

Grisly Double Murder in Vigo, Spain Yields Nada

Via Blabbeando, Joe. My. God. and Americablog:

Two men, Isaac Ali Dani Peréz Triviño, 27, of Spain and Julio Anderson Luciano, 32, originally from Brazil were murdered in their home in January of 2006. Their confessed murderer, Jacobo Piñeiro Rial who tried to cover up his crime by setting fire to their apartment, was acquitted of the murders and almost acquitted of the arson charge as well. Why was he acquitted? Because he basically said he experienced a "gay panic" when the two men tried to have sex with him. 

No one witnessed the crime, but Piñeiro Rial admitted stabbing Peréz Triviño, whom he met in the bar where he worked, and his partner Anderson Luciano a total of 57 times. He claimed he was out of his mind on cocaine and alcohol and defended himself when Peréz Triviño tried to rape him at knife-point in the middle of the night. However his testimony was inconsistent within itself and with evidence presented at the trial. 

The events according to Blabbeando:

There are no independent witnesses, but police and forensic experts say that the murder rampage began around 4:00am. Apparently, Pérez Triviñio was stabbed first but did not die. Piñeiro then stabbed Anderson Luciano twice while in the couples' room, and 22 more times as he followed his victim out of the room, into a corridor and out to the living room - where he died.

Pérez Triviñio, in the meantime, had locked himself in the room and records show that he was able to call local authorities. The call was cut short when Piñeiro was able to break back into the room and finish him off by stabbing him 35 more times.

In the living room, he tied Anderson Luciano's hands and put a blanket over his body; in the bedroom, he placed a blanket over Pérez Triviñio's head, tied a cable around it, and tethered it to a bed post. He then emptied closets and threw clothes all over the apartment, poured alcohol and set everything on fire.

Piñeiro left the building around 9:30am. He was carrying the suitcase he had filled with the men's belongings and initially asked a friend if he could hide it. When his friend declined, he went back to his hometown, Cangas, and walked into another bar. When news of the fire and double-murder flashed on the television screen, he confessed to the bartender that he'd been the one to set the place on fire, and asked him to hide the suitcase. The bartender also declined to keep it. Piñeiro was arrested a couple of days later based on leads given by the men he encountered after leaving Vigo.

Piñeiro Rial has yet to be sentenced, but he only faces a possible 15-20 year sentence for the arson. A Facebook page has been set up calling for protests in many cities including Vigo, Barcelona, Madrid, and New York. 

Minute of Hate

For today's minute of hate let's look at a favorite punching bag of liberals worldwide. That president everyone loves to hate. No, not Dubya. Richard Nixon. 

We all knew he was a lying dick, right? But one of today's posts at Good As You shows just how hateful he really was. The guy is actually complaining about the show All in the Family for goodness sake. And if you don't want to listen to the whole tirade, there's one bit not to be missed for its hilarity.  Somewhere about 9:14 he starts going off about how fags are in control of the fashion industry and how we were making ugly fashion  because we hate women. I think it just underscores how many ridiculous misconceptions about homosexuality are really out there. 

Minute of (Counter) Hate

I'm not going to focus too much energy on these bigots. But I do want to share the story of the counter-protesters in Buffalo, NY who drove away members of the hate group Westboro Baptist Church. From The Buffalo News:

Dozens of counterdemonstrators swarmed three members of a Kansas-based hate group when they tried to protest near a Main Street church where a memorial service for a Continental Flight 3407 crash victim was being held this afternoon.

The protesters, from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan., left the area near St. Joseph University Catholic Church, near the University at Buffalo's South Campus, at about 1:50 p.m., only a few minutes after they arrived.

Counterdemonstrators, carrying plain white flags and banners, surrounded the three Westboro picketers as Buffalo police looked on.

I'm all for letting these morons show how stupid and full of ungodly hate they truly are. But I'm also all for protecting the loved ones of the plane crash victims from having to see them. 

School Safety

A choir teacher in Henderson, Nevada was found dead in his home just before Christmas. On Top Magazine reported Friday that two brothers aged 17 and 18 have allegedly confessed to the murder. Or, more accurately, the younger of the two confessed that he and his brother strangled the teacher, Matthew Cox, 32 after he "got sexual" with his student. According to the boy, Cox made advances that made him uncomfortable while he and his brother were visiting Cox's home to hang out and play video games. 

Number one, any teacher would have to be a great fool to invite students into his home. Although Cox's mother seems to think he had the students there to help "straighten them out," it's never a good idea to be alone with a student, not even at school. Unfortunately in our current social environment the accusation of molestation is as damaging as the act itself. But even if Cox was foolish he didn't deserve to die. (What does the Catholic church do to priests suspected of molesting children? Oh yeah, they send them to rural Alaska.) 

Here's some news ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you, homosexuals are not pedophiles. I know all your child-raping, whore-hiring, money-laundering preachers out there use a lot of fancy hate speech and emotional language to encourage you to "protect traditional marriage." But the truth is it's just a lot of empty rhetoric. You know the adage, "If you can't dazzle them with dexterity, baffle them with bullshit?" In this case dexterity is any truth as proven by real evidence and bullshit is the whole "the fags want to take away our right to be Christians" line. Keep feeding that crap to America's youth and you get kids arraigned on charges of "murder, kidnapping, conspiracy, burglary, and auto theft."

Because ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you, those kids killed Cox to rob him of his wii, ipod, and laptop. And they'll get away with it because they cried "fag."

Daily Minute of Hate

The American Family Association wants you to protect the family in America by speaking out against the radical homosexual agenda. It seems we have a plan in place since the 90s to eradicate the civil liberties of Christians in America. Shit, if only I had known. Most significantly we want to install thought police to arrest Christians when they think about spreading the message of Christ's love. 

I can't speak for the rest of LGBT people out there, but frankly I could not possibly give a shit weather or not you spread the message of Christ's love. But I think maybe the message you shouldn't be spreading is Jesus hates all faggots. After all didn't Jesus preach about loving other people? Didn't Jesus hang out with whores, tax collectors, and other sinners? Didn't he say that his commandment of love replaced all those ancient religious laws? I mean really, you claim that we've chosen this "lifestyle," right? And you claim this lifestyle will send us to hell, right? So, obviously we want to go to hell then, don't we? Dear god, we sure as shit don't want to spend eternity with you yammering zealots talking our ears off. 

And we want to destroy the fabric of our society by teaching children that homosexuality marriage is the same as "natural" marriage. I'm not sure how this would work. Would someone out there please tell me exactly HOW WILL GAY MARRIAGE DESTROY OUR SOCIETY? I'm so sick of empty rhetoric and circular logic about this. Give me a real example. How will this happen? Show me how it's ruined Spain. Show me how it's ruined Switzerland. Show me how it's ruined Canada. Show me how children raised in LGBT households grow up somehow worse than those with a mother and father. Show me these poor ruined kids. Show me their track marks, their pimps, their anal bleeding, whatever horrors that have been caused by being exposed to homosexuals. 

I've always said the best kind of fiction leaves you with more questions than answers. If that is true, then let me introduce you to the very best kind of fiction. This is AFA's television show about the gay agenda. It's not a minute of hate; it's an hour of hate. But hate it is. And you know what? Hate like that exposed in this video has not one damn thing with being a Christian . It has everything to do with being a bigot. I sincerely hope everybody will go to this site, watch this hateful bit of propaganda, and fill out their survey because these people need to be exposed for the false Christians they are. 

Daily Minute of Hate

Peter Hitchens of the Daily Mail has some kind of creepy obsession with what homosexuals do in their bedrooms. He doesn't seem to realize that the vast majority of LGBT people (and I imagine heterosexuals, for that matter) aren't interested in sharing what they do privately. He seems to think that because we want to be treated fairly and not have to hide who we love we want him to watch our homemade porn. 

His sunday editorial "We show tolerance to 'gays' and get tyranny in return" was accompanied by this image:

According to the editorial, the man in the image was beaten by robbers. However nothing in the article (except Hitchens' imaginary "insane, sex-obsessed Stallinist state") links the robbery to homosexuality in any way. His blatant propagandistic message of hate reveals itself to be sheer paranoid lunacy. He goes on to cite the usual intolerant claptrap, blaming gays for the woes of modern society. I just feel sorry for the young LGBT people out there who are exposed to such bigotry and think the world is like that. 

Thank goodness the online version had the picture placed a more reasonable distance from part about gays. 

It's for the Children

"I wish it happens to you people, so you go through hell."

According to an article in The Observer on Sunday Nadya Suleman's father isn't too happy about his daughter's recent delivery of eight babies. Yes, it appears that the story isn't the magical success of modern science and right-wing morals it once seemed to be. 

She delivered eight babies and didn't have to abort a single one! What a victory for the mother and father! Oh, she's unmarried? Been divorced from her ex-husband for more than a year? Still lives with her parents? Didn't actually have fertility problems? Already has six fatherless children? She's unemployed? They don't have the means to support six, much less fourteen? Her family immigrated from Iraq? Her father might have to move back there to raise money to support this debacle? She actually might have mental issues? Whoever impregnated her was acting against ethical medical practices? 

Looks like the religious right is going to have to find another poster girl. 

Taking the Words Out of My Mouth

I saw this on Good As You. It's as enraging as my last post was hilarious. 

Not that I really give a shit but...

A friend pointed out an article in the Daily Mail, actually the front page article, that just rubbed me the wrong way. Normally I'm pleasantly surprised by the stance of Europeans in general about homosexuality, even the British. I actually argue with Americans these days about their claims to live in the freest country in the world. America is seriously behind in civil rights despite their recent leap forward by electing their first African-American president. But I digress...

The aforementioned British (sic) newspaper is essentially implying that the social service system is abusing two young children by placing them with a gay couple instead of their relatives. The headline drips with backhanded sentimentality, "Boy, 5, forced into adoption with gay couple pleads: 'We want to stay with our gran and grandad.'" Anyone who has ever dealt with a 5-year-old knows well their ability to read and parrot the emotions and even sentiments of the adults around them. Of course if his junky mother cries and pleads with him, "you want to stay with your gran and grandad, don't you?" he's going to repeat it. 

But I think my real annoyance comes from the implication that somehow these kids would be better off with a 59-year-old with angina and a 46-year-old with diabetes. Not that their ages or medical histories preclude them from being successful parents. But simply put, they've already managed to raise one heroin addict.

Worse yet, the Mail has to devote several paragraphs to this poor mother's disgust at her children being placed with gay men. Her bigotry is not softened by her claim to have gay friends. If she really believed "children need a mum and a dad, not a dad and another dad" isn't it a bit late? Shouldn't she have been that mum the kids needed instead of shooting up? The social service system is not efficient enough to have ripped her children away from her and tossed them to a couple of faggots the first time she messed up. She had her chance. Now she needs to keep her bigoted opinions to herself and let someone who actually wants to have kids try to take care of hers.

Slow News Day

Today is the 29th day of 2009. Tomorrow marks my 30th day of trying to write every single day. You know what? I look back and think, my goodness I'm worthless at this whole blogging thing. I read a blog today by someone who has some obvious mental problems. It makes me wonder if I sound this bad when I'm having a paranoid day. At lest I'm not trying to sell a (signed and numbered) book about my craziness. Oh, if only I could. That really needs to be my next step: have a coked-out crazy butt-sex session with a soon-to-be famous person (weather in reality or my own little fantasy world) and then schlep the memoir about it online. You'd buy it, wouldn't you ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you? Political posturing mixed with schizoid fantasy sells, doesn't it? People buy Rush Limbaugh's books, don't they?

But I'm growing weary of all these drawn-out sordid tales. Ted Haggard's recent reemerging is ridiculous. Weren't we through with all that years ago? Why drag it out and discuss it again as if seeing this bozo re-crucified on HBO is going to help anybody. Sure, maybe it'll sell a few more books by Haggard's former butt-boy. It'll give a couple more of his former meth-buddies their fifteen minutes. But it won't help those poor queer fifteen-year-olds hiding out in their evangelical parents' houses waiting to be shipped off to ex-gay camp, will it? It doesn't do any good for closeted homosexuals trapped in their heterosexual lives. Why doesn't the media focus on an ex-ex-gay for a minute? 

Come to think of it, is there an ex-ex-gay movement? Surely I can't be (other than a few overexposed celebrity examples) the last normal everyday former closet case? It's worth looking into.

From the site Americans for Truth About Homosexuality:

Obama Begins Full Court Press on Extremist Homosexual Agenda within Minutes of Taking Oath of Office: Barber

STATEMENT
Contact:  jmattbarber@comcast.net

DATE: January 21, 2009, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lynchburg, VA – Literally within minutes after President Obama took the oath of office yesterday, the official White House webpage was updated – under the heading of “The Agenda: Civil Rights” – to detail Obama’s wholesale “support for the LGBT (homosexual activist) community.”  His stated plans include the following:

• Defeating all state and federal constitutional efforts to defend the millennia-old definition of natural marriage;
• Repealing the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) signed by Bill Clinton – the only line of defense keeping all 50 states from being forced to recognize so-called “same-sex marriages” from extremely liberal states like Massachusetts and Connecticut;
• Repealing the military’s “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy;
• Passing constitutionally dubious and discriminatory “hate crimes” legislation, granting homosexuals and cross dressers special rights – denied other Americans – based on changeable sexual behaviors;
• Passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) which would force business owners (religious and otherwise) to abandon traditional values relative to sexual morality under penalty of law; and,
• Creating intentionally motherless and fatherless homes and sexually confusing untold thousands of children by expanding “gay adoption.”

It's so refreshing to hear the same old hate spew from these people over and over again. The real TRUTH is that these people can't be using the truth because their information is based on skewed facts, emotionally loaded words, and an absolute refusal to use any evidence less than 1,000 years old. Yes, the Bible ladies and gentlemen and the rest of you. The Bible, that massive tract concocted by the Catholic church about 1,000 years AFTER the death of Christ to forward an agenda that included oppressing women, racial minorities, and of course those hated faggots. 

Take the list of crimes Obama is trying to perpetrate as listed above: "The millennia-old definition of natural marriage"? What fool hasn't read his bible enough to know that the biblical definition of marriage included one man and all his wives, not the bigoted concept of one man one woman? Do we really want to go back to polygamy? 

And calling DOMA the "only line of defense" from recognizing same-sex marriages is just silly. Bob Barr who wrote the legislation has already come out with the statement that it failed what it intended to do and is calling to repeal it. Check your facts. 

But I think the most offensive thing is the statement "creating intentionally motherless and fatherless homes and sexually confusing thousands of children." Scientific research (although GLBT inclusive research is still not as common) indicates children develop best in two-parent homes regardless of the parents' gender. But of course we all know a child is better off being carted off to some underfunded orphanage than being given to a couple of queers. 

On a personal note. I'm gay. My heterosexual parents didn't make me gay, nor did I become gay due to some neglect or abuse. I didn't decide to become gay; in fact I fought the realization that I was gay tooth and nail because I grew up in intolerant church, school, and home environments. I married a woman and had children to prove that I wasn't gay (as in the whole ex-gay movement). And you know what? I was still a faggot deep down. And you know what else? My kids have grown up in an environment where I have done my best to try to mitigate the effects of bigots such as those at Americans for Truth About Homosexuality. Neither one of them is gay. But thank God neither one will ever be a hate monger either.
