Bryan Fischer- It will be unconstitutional if DOMA is declared unconstitutional

Bryan Fischer, of the hate group American Family Association, says states should ignore the SCOTUS rulings on marriage equality if DOMA is struck down:

Anything short of upholding DOMA, anything short of upholding Prop 8 in California will be a setback for the rule of law, it will be a setback for a constitutional form of government; in fact you can just eliminate the first three words of the Constitution: “We the people.” That will be utterly meaningless if the Supreme Court does not uphold Prop 8 and does not uphold DOMA, period. Anything short of that and the American people have been robbed of the capacity and the right and the authority to be a self-governing people.

…

If the states were to do it, the thirty states that have marriage amendments say, ‘fine, the Supreme Court has issued its ruling, we’re going to ignore it, they have exceeded their authority, we have no obligation. In fact, if we recognize their ruling, we give credence to it, then we are violating the Constitution because the Constitution gives them no authority to do that to us so we have compounded their unconstitutional act with an unconstitutional act of our own.

Bryan Fischer: Discriminating against gays is good

One of “God’s gentle people” – Bryan Fischer of the hate group American Family Association – tells us that folks SHOULD discriminate against gays and lesbians. That discrimination is a good thing. (p.s. NO – it’s not).

Fischer is referring to Ohio Catholic high school physical education teacher Carla Hale, who lost her job after her lesbian partner’s name appeared in her mother’s obituary. She didn’t parade around as a “militant lesbian” or make anyone listen to her promote anything. She quietly lives her private life at home.

Just days after her mother’s funeral, Hale was fired after a complaint from an anonymous parent.

Hale had worked at Bishop Watterson High School for 19 years with no complaints before her dismissal.

Bryan Fischer at American Family Assoc. losing his mind that Boy Scouts may drop gay discrimination policy

American Family Association hate group leader Bryan Fischer is going ballistic over the news that the Boy Scouts of America might drop its policy against gay scouts and scout leaders, claiming that “male homosexuals offend against children at roughly 10 times the rate at which heterosexuals offend” and warns that it’s an open invitation to pedophiles.

According to Fischer, should the policy be dropped, the Boy Scouts “are done, they’re toast, they’re history. From this day forward, there is not one loving father in America that ever, ever, EVER oughta entrust his son to the Boy Scouts of America.”

CNN finally has enough of Bryan Fischer’s hate-speech

Bravo to CNN’s Carol Costello for being fair here. She gives Mr. Fischer the chance to share his views and then calmly calls him for what it is – hate speech.

This is from a discussion on CNN today about SPLC’s “Mix It Up Day” which is meant to promote tolerance and fight bullying.

I continue to ask the question: what is wrong with letting people be who they are, as God created them?

And while the US Constitution ensures the right of free speech, just because you CAN say something – even if it’s not true – doesn’t mean you SHOULD say it.

Here is just part of what Fischer says in the clip:

“…what parents need to understand, this is about pressuring public schools and students in public schools to accept homosexuality as a normal, healthy alternative to heterosexuality. It’s interesting to me they’re doing this on October 30, the day before Halloween, and what this program is, it’s like poisoned Halloween candy. Somebody takes a candy bar, injects it with cyanide, the label looks fine, it looks innocuous, it looks fine, it’s not until you internalize it that you realize how toxic it is. And we want parents to be aware that any program that any program that comes from the Southern Poverty Law Center is going to be toxic to their students’ moral health. “

Anti-gay group AFA protests Old Navy supporting Pride and Love

Tim Wildmon and his anti-gay group American Family Association is mad that Old Navy is selling t-shirts that promote Love and Pride. How awful.

AND that Old Navy is donating 10% of the proceeds go to the It Gets Better Project, a campaign launched by writer Dan Savage that aims to help gay kids get through those beyond difficult teenage years by showing them videos that capture the lives of gay adults who made it.

Lord…

Old Navy selling ‘gay’ shirts – donates profits to activists.

How would you feel if you knew that 10% of your Old Navy purchase would be donated directly to a homosexual activist organization?

Old Navy is now selling “gay pride” T-shirts in support of President Obama’s proclamation designating June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.”

Old Navy’s rainbow T-shirts are part of its “Love Proudly: Pride 2011” campaign. The shirts reportedly went on sale June 1 and will be available at select stores throughout the country. Old Navy is donating 10 percent of the proceeds to the “It Gets Better Project,” a pro-LGBT campaign.

The T-shirt designs include a white shirt with “Love Proudly” written in the colors of the rainbow, and a black shirt with rainbow-colored stripes.

According to reports, the T-shirts are being sold at some Old Navy stores until the end of June or until supplies run out. Old Navy is already saying they may increase the number of stores next year.

Let Old Navy president Tim Wyatt know his decision to engage in corporate promotion and financial support of homosexuality is a bad idea, considering the number of mothers buying summer and back-to-school clothes.

Yeah, what a terrible message – Love Proudly.

Seriously AFA?
