The Evangelical Christian Right's Pathological Attack on America
Part II: The Evangelical Christian Right's Pathological Attack on America

From a December 8, 2005 “Family News in Focus” story:

Massachusetts Pastor has Contest for Mr. Straight

by Kim Trobee

In reaction to Gay Promotions, like Mr. Gay International, this one will find Mr. Hetero.

The homosexual community has flooding the marketplace with products and opportunities exclusively for gays and lesbians. Now a talk show host in Massachusetts is turning the tables. Tom Crouse, pastor of Holland Congregational Church and host of the radio program “Engaging Your World” is launching a “contest” to name the most heterosexual guy in Massachusetts. … The contest will feature such manly events as how many Oprah magazines you can tear at once and a sixty second dissertation on the uses of duct tape.


“Flooding the marketplace with products and opportunities exclusively for gays and lesbians”? Like what? Shouldn’t such an extravagant postdiluvian assertion offer at least some examples? Unless, of course, there are none to offer.

Heterosexuality is defined by “how many Oprah magazines you can tear at once” and the number of uses you can find for duct tape?

1. WTF is wrong with these people
Do they seriously feel threatened by the GLBT community. If so, send them back to the Dark Ages.

2. I read about this one recently
on a GLBT forum.
One of the suggestions mentioned there was priceless, and I highly recommend it to any gay men in the Mass. area.
Quite simply... find the most 'butch' gay men you can find. Have them enter. Have one of them win.
And then when he's accepting his trophy, have him call his boyfriend up on stage and start making out, or something equally offensive to these homophobic assholes.
