Radical homosexuals plan day of 'intolerance'
Activist homosexual leaders are planning a day of protest this Saturday over losing the traditional marriage battles in three states. The homosexual movement for special rights has become louder, and in some cases violent, in the aftermath of losses at the ballot box in Florida, Arizona, and California.
Florida Family Association notes the increased intensity in rhetoric from the self-proclaimed "champions of tolerance" and diversity. The National Day of Protest's logo is a clenched fighting fist and features phrases such as "Fight the H8" (Fight the Hate) and "Ready to Rumble." Florida Family Association notes the irony in that the homosexual movement that formerly preached diversity and tolerance has now become increasingly disorderly and aggressive, even intolerant, of supporters of traditional marriage by vandalizing property and staging protests at and inside churches. Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel says the demonstrations ought to be taken seriously, especially this Saturday.
"There have been threats of church burnings. There have been threats of violence, even murder against Christians," he explains. "There has been vandalism already of a number of churches."
According to an alert issued by the Florida Family Association, the "radical gay leaders" have two goals in mind through the upcoming protest: one being to normalize homosexuality in all areas of American society, and the second being to "silence everyone who disagrees with them." The notice adds that the homosexual activists are refusing to accept the final vote as an expression of the will of America's people.
"It really amounts to homo-fascism, and so what we're seeing [is] they don't want to let the democratic process play out," Barber adds. "These people are anti-democracy, clearly."
Florida Family Association also believes the radical homosexual agenda is "unapologetically 'me' centered" and does not feature discussions about what is best for families, children, or the common good of society. Barber points out the Bible's contrasting view. "Scripture says specifically, of people who are trapped in the homosexual lifestyle, ...that they are given over to a reprobate mind," he concludes. (See Romans 1:27-29)

Betsy,
Please try to put yourself into the shoes of somebody like this St. Louis couple.
Suppose you moved to a new community because of a great job opportunity. You have been married for 30 years. Five years ago, your husband was paralyzed from the waste down. A couple of years after you, had settled into the new community and made a new life for your family, a powerful pastor and leader of the community's largest church started a "virtue" campaign to protect the holy institution of marriage.
The church holds a very "orthodox" view of marriage and requires members of the church to adhere to their ceremonial sexual practices. Because of your husband's handicap, you can't adhere to those practices, and you don't event try to because you know that you *are* married, and your family and faith community is fully supportive of your marriage.
Many handicapped couples moved into the community in recent years for the same reason as you. The pastor has decided that the existence of your families is a threat to his church's religious liberty, and he sponsors a ballot initiative to strip all handicapped couples of their marriages. The initiative passes because of the demographics of the community and because the handicapped people were not able to conduct a good political campaign.
After the campaign, your friends and neighbors who had "Vote Yes, Support Traditional Marriage" signs on their yards assured you that they are still your friends and that you really shouldn't take their "Yes" vote personally. They were protecting their understanding of what marriage *is* and what it *is not*.
What would be your response, and how would you feel if you were labeled "radical" and a member of the "The handicapped movement for special rights"?
