A Small History Pride-let for May 20
On this day in 1994, officials from of 35 right-wing "religious" organizations (including the Christian Coalition, Concerned Women for America, The American Family Association, Accuracy in Media, Colorado for Family Values, Family Defense Council, and Family Research Council) meet in Colorado Springs to destroy gay rights forever.

"Enemies" lists of politicians and journalists will be created; they will "push the idea that organized crime funds the gay rights movement" and "fight to recriminalize sodomy, repeal all gay rights laws, establish reporting requirements for HIV infection, ban federal funds for public schools which support gay students, pass a national statute 'guaranteeing free speech and association on college campuses' (but only for Christians) stiffen penalties against 'unfounded threats and hate crimes charges against pro-life/pro-family groups,' support preference for heterosexuals in child custody cases, enact legislation 'rewarding conventional families' with tax rewards, formulate 'the best case to take to the U.S. Supreme Court in their fight to deny civil rights for all gay men and lesbians', identify and recall all judges who disagree with their groups agendas, use gays 'as a scapegoat in the face of continuing economic despair among many classes in this country', and convert ministers to anti-gay agenda even though 'they know if gays ever left the church, they'd lose at least one-half their organists and choir members.''

So this is a conspiracy theory set forth by the gay media.

Okay. That was what I wondered about.

All you need do is look up any of the organizations mentioned and visit their websites to know that there is no "theory." They are very proud of their positions.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.
That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

In other words?

What is wrong with the words from the link I gave you - which is an article from the Boston paper?

As you have become "more conservative" have you also lost all reason and attempt at honesty? That was what I wondered about.

OOhhh yes, it's the gay media mafia again. Those dastardly gays with all their subliminal programming and brinwashing of the masses. You know I went out today to buy some shoes and ended up buying a power drill instead. Now i know why, it's the gay media influencing my ability to think for myself.
