"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.''

OhDear | 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.

OhDear | 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.

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. |
