Hate-monger Scott Lively: Gays Are Out To Kill Me

I wrote recently about the Human Rights Campaign’s new program to more fully expose those who work tirelessly to undercut LGBT people around the world. The program is called “The Export of Hate.”

The program lists several virulently anti-gay individuals who campaign not only against our rights, but our very existence. Appropriately, Scott Lively is number one on the list.

Lively, currently on trial for crimes against humanity, is widely credited with advocating for anti-gay laws in Uganda which could send gays and lesbians to prison for life, among many other atrocities.

Well, Lively is not happy being #1 on the Export of Hate list. And as such, he has penned an essay condemning what he calls a “hit list.”

Not every “gay” activist is physically violent, thankfully. Most limit their “human rights advocacy” to harassment, intimidation and slander. But make no mistake, if they thought they could get away will killing every person on the HRC and SPLC hit lists, they would do it. They smolder with malicious hatred against anyone who stands in their way.

So far its been the fear of harm they might do to their whitewashed, house-of-cards, Madison Avenue-created benign public image that stays their hands short of murder… except for a few random nut-jobs like Corkins.

[snip]

I believe they are now deliberately trying to incite murder against me and every other person on their enemies list. That might have sounded a bit paranoid in years past, but post-Corkins it is just cold hard fact that some “gay” activists are incited to murder by inflammatory leftist rhetoric. The HRC knows that, and yet their rhetoric in this Exporting Hate publication is MORE inflammatory than the SPLC’s rhetoric the drove Corkins over the edge!

I am demanding a retraction and public apology from both HRC and SPLC. To both of them I insist: STOP INCITING HATE BEFORE YOU GET PEOPLE KILLED!!!!!

In addition to his contributions to the Uganda “Kill The Gays” bill, he toured 50 cities in Russia where he is accused of recommending a ban on ‘gay propaganda’.

The guilty dog barks the loudest…

Sean Hannity: Parents Should Be Able To Teach Kids ‘That Being Gay Is Not Normal’

On his Premiere Radio Networks show yesterday, Sean Hannity worried that holding the Minnesota Vikings’ Adrian Peterson accountable for allegedly beating his four year-old son may lead to a slippery slope where “liberals” could make it illegal for parents to teach their children that being gay isn’t normal:

“You guys want to tell parents what they can and cannot do. For example, is it gonna become illegal if a parent teaches kids the politically incorrect view that being gay is not normal? Or that the parent says — whatever the parent wants to teach the kid that you would disagree with?

“I think we’ve gotten to the point where, if we don’t politically correct our kids, we might as well hand our kids over to the government the day that they’re born and let them raise them.”

Uganda Tourism Board concerned the country is viewed as “anti-gay”

Gay Star News reports that the Ugandan Tourism Board met with the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) over concerns that, for some strange reason, Uganda is somehow perceived as “anti-gay” in Western Europe and America.

Gee, I wonder what why that might be?  Possibly the “Kill The Gays” law that was passed and signed into law?

The Ugandan Tourism Board (UTB) recently met with the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association (IGLTA) to try to restore the country’s reputation among both gay and straight tourists.

John Tanzella, president and CEO of IGLTA, told the SoSoGay website that the board felt Western media had portrayed Uganda in a particularly negative light since the country passed a law that would punish gay sex with life imprisonment in December last year.

The law was struck down last month.

Tanzella said, ‘The delegation said that gay people are welcome.

‘They were very concerned about the perception of Uganda in Western Europe and North America, and claimed that the backlash caught them by surprise.

‘No-one thought it would pass. The delegates all pointed out that they have friends and family who are gay.’

The UTB maintains that the people of Uganda are “very hospitable, friendly, warm and loving.”

Right….

GOP-led House Committee on Veterans Affairs votes down equal benefits for same-sex spouses

The House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, by a vote of 13-12, rejected an amendment that would update Title 38 of the U.S. Code to ensure that spousal benefits of gay, lesbian and bisexual veterans would be available no matter the state of residence.

Committee Chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) said he opposed the amendment because it would interfere with states that have enacted laws related to marriage.

Section 103(c) of Title 38 of the U.S. Code governs veterans benefits. And currently, the code is dictated by the state of residence, not the state of celebration.

 In other words, veterans benefits for spouses are predicated on where you live, not where you got married. So even if you are legally married, if your current state of residence
doesn’t recognize same-sex marriage, those same-sex spouses are out of luck in regards to receiving the same benefits afforded heterosexual veterans and their spouses.

Lori Hensic, director of research and policy for the LGBT military group known as the American Military Partner Association, issued this statement:

“The ability of our nation’s veterans, no matter their sexual orientation, to access their earned benefits should be an issue that transcends partisan politics,” Hensic said. “It’s a sad reflection on the state of our Congress when our elected officials cannot put aside their differences to end this discrimination.”

Noah Michelson of Huffington Post isn’t afraid of Westboro Baptist Church

Huffington Post Gay Voices editor Noah Michelson has written a compelling essay regarding anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church’s threat to picket the offices of Huffington Post.

“We’re not scared of a handful of sad people with access to school supplies and a few nasty slogans.”

Michelson explains why WBC has actually accomplished some good by shedding light on the hateful side of religious-based homophobes thereby encouraging folks to “scramble to get out of their shadow so as not to be confused with them or their hate.”

Gambia passes legislation imposing life in prison for gays and lesbians

Gambian President Yahya Jammeh

The West African nation of Gambia has passed a bill which would impose life sentences for “aggravated homosexuality.” Under the new legislation, charges could be brought against those who are “repeat offenders” or people living with HIV/AIDS.

Previously, the country sanctioned punishment for homosexuals with up to 14 years in prison. In 2005 the laws were amended to include lesbians as well as gays.

The bill currently awaits President Jammeh’s signature.

Jammeh has a documented anti-gay past. In February, while addressing the nation on television, Jemmeh said, “We will fight these vermins called homosexuals or gays the same way we are fighting malaria-causing mosquitoes, if not more aggressively.”

In 2008, Jammeh “instructed” gays and lesbians to leave the country or risk being beheaded.

Conservative haters: Same-sex marriage will make straight couples less monogamous

Matt Barber and Mat Staver, on their “Faith and Freedom” radio show, took this bizarre serpentine chat that somehow asserts that legalizing gay marriage will somehow result in straight couples becoming less monogamous.

I didn’t realize I had such power!

From Right Wing Watch:

Staver argued that gay male couples are more likely to have open relationships, which they then used to bizarrely assert that letting gays get married would ultimately undermine the practice of monogamy within straight marriages.

“You start doing that in a marriage relationship with a man and a woman,” Staver said, “and the woman’s just not going to do it.”

“We know that women serve to domesticate men,” Barber added. “That’s not an opinion, that’s the social science that shows that women ultimately bring men into their role as father, as provider, and protector for the household and they domesticate men and that lends itself toward monogamy.”

It goes without saying that what each committed couple does – gay or straight – in the privacy of their own relationship is their own business. And many heterosexual couples engage in “open relationships” and more, like swinging, anal sex (!), and lots of practices that some very conservative folks might find of the beaten (and very vanilla) path when it comes to sex.

This isn’t a gay thing. It’s a privacy thing. And a “none of your business” thing.

Mostly, the idea that allowing same-sex couples equal rights to marriage will somehow force a hetero married man to go looking for sex outside his marriage is absurd.

But then, this is Matt Barber and Mat Staver…

Anti-gay hate group leader cries over 7th Circuit Court ruling for equal rights

Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins rode the waahmbulance yesterday, sobbing over the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals UNANIMOUS decision that both Indiana and Wisconsin’s same-sex marriage bans were unconstitutional:

“I am very troubled that this court failed to recognize the self-evident truth that children need and deserve a mom and dad. The ruling doesn’t appear to allow society to choose to maintain a coherent definition of marriage. The courts have no true constitutional authority to unilaterally change the definition of our most fundamental social institution. Yet this court is engaging in judicial activism unlike yesterday’s federal court ruling which upheld the right of Louisiana voters to preserve natural marriage in their state’s public policy.

“The Seventh Circuit’s radical departure from natural law and the received wisdom of human history continues to undermine the legitimacy of the courts in the eyes of a majority of Americans. Marriage redefinitions imposed by judicial fiat cannot change the truth about marriage, men, women, children, and parenting. Ultimately, the American people will have the final word as they experience the consequences of marriage redefinition and the ways in which it fundamentally alters America’s moral, cultural and political landscape.”
