In a few hours time “Porno Pete” LaBarbera and a Who’s Who D List of anti-gay haters will decend upon a the Southern Law Poverty Center in Montgomery, Alabama to “denounce” the center and their labelings as “hate groups”.
LaBarbera and his minions will be joined by a coalition of African American pastors (who really have some fucking nerve doing this directly after MLK Day) and pro-family Christian and Jewish leaders which will include:
Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs, Liberty Counsel who likes to rant about “the ‘gay’ deathstyle.”
Dr. Patrick Wooden, pastor, Upper Room Church of God in Christ (COGIC), - “We have to block the use of euphemisms when we talk about homosexuals. They are not gay. We’ve got to use terms like ‘deviant’ and ‘abomination.’
Laurie Higgins, Illinois Family Institute who states that “two gay men kissing is the same as incest or pedophilia”
Linda Harvey, Mission America, who insists that anti bullying programs will turn schools into “gay indoctrination camps”
Brian Camenker, Mass Resistance, who has said that anti-bullying efforts are part of a “very aggressive, fascist type of movement” of “homosexual activists.” And has even attacked attacked the Boston Red Sox (yes, the Boston Red Soxs!) for endorsing the efforts of The Trevor Project and the It Gets Better Project
All thats missing is David Duke and Archie Bunker!
So expect much wailing and the gnashing of teeth today from “Porno Pete and his Un-Funky Bunch” as they cry victim and call the whaaambulace because they are religious martyrs.
The only real question that remains about the event today is will it be full hood or casual?
NOTE: To read an EXCELLENT more in-depth and less snarky article about today’s SLPC Protest PLEASE head on over to Alvin McEwan’s Holly Bullies and Headless Monsters. I highly recommend it.
