And You Wonder Why

Why the Southern Poverty Law Center labels them a hate group.

Hate group Family Research Council reminds followers that Bible says to kill the “immoral” gays
They're not happy with "secularists, humanists, hedonists, and the political Left" support for LGBTQ civil rights.

The Family Research Council, an anti-LGBTQ hate group that serves as the lobbying arm of the religious right, describes LGBTQ people as “unnatural” and “immoral” in a message to supporters.

They also remind recipients at the beginning of the missive of a Bible verse that commands followers to kill gay people.

Under the heading “The Bible’s Teaching on Homosexuality – Romans 1:18-32,” David Closson, FRC’s Director of Christian Ethics and Biblical Worldview, launches into the disgusting rhetoric that consumes the lengthy screed.

And remember, Trump was getting his judicial picks from them and the Heritage Foundation.

They also say that the Equality Act is anti-Christian, but it is not what it will do is will prevent those who try to hide their hate and bigotry behind religion.

Tony Perkins, the group’s leader, got his start in politics as a Louisiana state representative. He bought his mailing list for supporters from David Duke, the former head of the Ku Klux Klan and made speeches in front of white supremacist groups. He was a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump and his white nationalist supporters.

White supremacy and LGBTQ+ hate are handmaidens. When you find one you usually find the other, they hate anyone who is different from them.

Not all Republicans are bigots, but all bigots are Republicans.

I don't know if you got a warning about M*lw*re or "ad*lt cont*nt: when you visited my blog but I am working on getting it corrected. There have been some reports that there are groups of people who are "reporting" LGBTQ blogs and websites as "s*x*al" or having m*lw*re.

If you did get a warning could you let me know.

Norton has already corrected their warning but other virus protection software still have warnings.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
