Anita Bryant Galvanized A Movement

There she was in all her bible thumping glory in the late 70's fighting against homosexuality using every venue at her disposal to show the Evil of de gay.

Anita Bryant though unwittingly became the "best friend" we as a community could have had.

To say that her resounding anti-gay bigotry backfired on her is certainly an understatement.

Once the Queen of orange juice and a popular singer all came crashing down in flames when she lost everything except her contemptible hated filled stance on gays.

There have been many incidents and people against LGBTs who have brought a call to action to protect this community but none more significant in her time than Anita Bryant.

For that we owe her thanks and gratitude in showing how the haters won't defeat us .. ever. 

Dave Agema The Faggot Conspiracy

So we have this filthy douche bag (thanks to Queerty for the photo) in Michigan who believes there is a great conspiracy to turn children into flaming faggots in school.

Dave Agema a member of the Republican National Committee has expounded the notion because the gays are taking over civilized US society with their wanting of same-sex marriage and .... aghast .. Equality.

Agema a former member of the Michigan House of Representatives let loose with a posting on his FaceButt .. uh pardon .. his FaceBook laying (Oh Myyyy) into the homosexuals and their agenda to impose all things Rainbowey in school systems and teachings which will turn students into wanton dick and pussy loving faggots and faglets.

He has said schools should teach that homosexuals are likely to live 20 years less because of their unholy lifestyle and that already faggot slanting students should be warned of all the diseases they will contract.

So outrageous are the rants of Agema, who is handsome enough to grace any gay photo calendar, that his fellow Republicans have pretty much said "just shut the fuck up !! and get the fuck out !!!"of the Party.

Pity this pretty boy prefers a big pussy instead of a big prick.

But as we know with politicians there is always hope they will find their true self and then greatly apologize for how they slandered the "filthy" faggots during another time in their anti-gay life.

Pope Francis I And de Gay Detractors

Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now Pope Francis I hadn't been the newly elected Pope an hour when LGBT bloggers, groups and other self-appointed important voices were attacking him.

This continuing attack against the Roman Catholic Church, of which this writer is not a member, is getting almost as old as the Church itself which was started back in the 2nd Century.

Those who find fault with the Church and its doctrine on homosexuality, birth control, abortion and the place of women continue to bang their collective heads against the oak doors of the Church and The Vatican.

Most vocal of course are those who are or were followers of the faith.

There is a very simple solution for the detractors to follow.

Leave the Church if you can't abide by its rules of Faith.

No one presuming you're an adult forces you to be Roman Catholic. Find another Faith, more progressive to you're liking.

Those not of the Faith, particularly the Atheist faggots just need to stifle.

No matter how much you huff and puff and try to blow the doors down it just isn't going to happen.

I've always believed that a Church is not of brick and mortar but what one carries in the heart and spiritual belief..

I for one wish only the best for this humble man who now finds himself the religious leader of many around the world.

Perhaps, though unlikely, his and the Church's LGBT detractors can find some humility as is Pope Francis I.

The Attempt To Censor MSNBC

I have certainly gone over my usual one posting a day six days a week but as this is my day off and with a post today by David Badash which I have read at The New Civil Rights Movement I need to respond now rather than tomorrow.

Badash's posting is about the religious group Faithful America which on Tuesday went to 30 Rock to present 20,000 signed petitions to MSNBC to stop inviting Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council on MSNBC news/commentary programs as a guest when discussing Conservative views or topics.

Without coming right out and saying (although he did so in so many words on his Google+ link) that he is in agreement he does put a link in his posting offering to his readers to sign the petition and also a link to the groups Facebook page.

There will be, if not already, others in the LGBT blogosphere who will feature this story and agree that Perkins should not be allowed on any news media programs or as part of a reported story because of the group's anti-gay views and because Perkins' group has been labeled a "hate group" by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Which brings me to my response. If any of those including Badash who are in favor of not having Perkins on media programs then they have about as much in common with real journalists as the milk man. To wit they are not journalists.

Anyone who has ever worked in the news media, including myself, would see this as a true form of attempting to censor a news organization from outside forces, which unfortunately has been done time and time again by the likes of GLAAD and HRC.

News divisions are autonomous (or at least perceived to be) from their parent corporate owners and other divisions within that corporation.

One way to look at it this for those who have never worked in the media is the advertising division has no right to complain to the news division and attempt to censor the news if an advertiser is held under journalistic scrutiny. But today more and more the Parents are telling the Kids what they should or shouldn't say or who they should or shouldn't give air-time (ie: Roland Martin) because of outside pressure.

And that boys and girls is censorship of the Free Press.

This is nothing new, it goes back as far as CBS when Edward R. Murrow ran his expose' on Senator Joe McCarthy which drew so much angst for CBS Broadcasting owner William Paley that Paley insisted on giving those who Murrow might feature in a broadcast the opportunity to "have their say" and without consultation with Murrow in giving that opportunity.

This while it caused an irreparable spilt between Paley and Murrow ended up doing more good for journalism than it did harm. When Murrow had McCarthy on for a "rebuttal" interview regarding Murrow's story about McCarthy it harmed McCarthy even further than the original broadcast as far as public opinion was concerned.

For any news organization from the smallest weekly newspaper or local radio station to ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN and their many subgroups to kowtow to the pressure of outside groups and organizations is not only shameful but is akin to "governmental control" of the news media.

The First Amendment of The Constitution not only should apply to governmental control of the news media but to those who try to censor the news media when someone or a group is allowed to be featured in or on the news media which others disagree with their given position or overall stance on subjects be they political or social.

It is then up to the Parents of news organizations to stand firm in their resolve to standby Freedom of the Press and not waiver in what the broad sense of the Amendment means.

Censorship of any kind is a slippery slope which is hard to turn back from.

Pam Spaulding Needs Her A Man

You know you've made it when the Conservative Right and anti-gay religious folks talk about you and start to offer advice on how to improve yourself and bring respectability to yourself when they say you need to find Jesus and get yourself a man and propagate.

Pam Spaulding head mistress over at Pam's House Blend has been given such advice by one of her nemesis the Reverend Patrick Wooden in an interview with Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth.

Spaulding goes into detail about the interview and her reaction to the good Reverend's advice and his invitation in the interview to sit down for lunch with him.

With all due respect to Reverend Wooden you're the last person Spaulding needs to get advice from particularly when you hide behind the cloth of Jesus and condemn those whose lifestyle doesn't fit into your view of the word of God and the teachings of Jesus.

Seems to me Reverend as I was taught in Sunday school many years ago, Jesus and God loves all and we're all His children with no stipulations. It's only mortal men such as yourself who put those stipulations into play for your religious rhetoric and interpretation of the Bible, either Old or New Testament.

And about Spaulding sitting down with you for lunch Reverend Wooden, I wouldn't hold your breath, you may just have to wait for the Second Coming then both Jesus and Spaulding can have a very long discussion with you about the error of your ways.

So let it be written, so let it be done.
