"Christian" group: Massachusetts has become OVERRUN with homosexuals
:rofl:
"Mass. Pro-Family Groups Resist Homosexual Activism's 'Reign of Madness'"

By Bill Fancher
Worthy News
Headline News from a Christian Perspective

Tomorrow (May 17) marks the first anniversary of legalized homosexual marriage in Massachusetts, and a pro-family group there says the citizens have endured a "reign of madness" since the fateful Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (MSJC) ruling that cleared the way for same-sex couples to marry legally in that state.

Brian Camenker of the Article 8 Alliance says since the MSJC legalized same-sex unions, Massachusetts has become overrun by homosexuality. "Even driver's licenses now, when you renew them, have a question such as, 'Has your sex changed?'" he notes.

And since the MSJC ruling, Camenker points out, parents can no longer opt their children out of pro-homosexual lessons and activities in school. During school assemblies, he asserts, speakers will come in and tell the young people gathered "that the Bible's prohibitions on homosexuality are essentially misinterpretations, and if your parents believe them then they're wrong."

Parents have even been arrested by police for resisting having their kids exposed to homosexuality, the pro-family advocate claims. "Society is going through this enforced homosexualization in Massachusetts," he says. "It's truly frightening." For example, he points to Lexington parent David Parker, who was arrested and charged with "trespassing" at his son's elementary school during a scheduled meeting with the principal and the town's Director of Education over his objections to homosexual curriculum materials.....

Does this twit know they aren't one and the same?

21. Actually, it's really on the form
I noticed it on the renewal form a few years back. Where's he's wrong is that it had nothing to do with gay marriage here in our lovely state.

Isn't that similar terminology to what Hitler used to describe the Jews in the early 1930s? Comparing them to rats overrunning Europe?

8. "homosexualization"???...
I guess that means that men will dress better, accessorize, be more well groomed and mannered, know how to dance, sing show tunes, be more cultured and have no shame in wearing Speedos in public beaches and do some cross-dressing once a week and engage in S&M just to spice up the love life...aaahhhh homosexualization!! It's the RIGHT thing to do!

9. LMMFAO

Those damn pesky gay people...always screwing up my life. Geezus, the 4 or 5 I do know actually breath oxygen, are kind, respectful people who contribute a great deal to society.

So they are attracted to someone of the same sex. Like its anybodies damn business anyway.

I am not a pro-gay militant and "gay rights" is certainly not one of my issues, but I can agree with the premise that maybe we should leave these people the fukk alone...the persecution of homosexuals is very much like what Germany did to Jewish people minus the death camps....although the Republicans are only 5 seats away from a fillibuster proof Senate.

11. What's REALLY frightening
is when your kindergardener hugs his best friend, then is surrounded by kids on the playground taunting, "Ewwww. You're GAAAAY! EWWwwwww!"
And this is a liberal county!

I wish they'd educate kids here about homosexuality. :-(

16. Today is my anniversary
My husband and I have been married 18 years. I can tell you that without a doubt, no gay person has been even remotely a threat to my marriage. 2 years of unemployment and 1 year of no health insurance for my family, on the other hand. I say let's get back to dealing with what's REALLY wrong, and what REALLY needs to be fixed. And leave people alone.

46. We've only been married 2 years, so apparently, our marriage is more
hanging in the balance. We had better be careful, our gay neighbors may steal my husband off in the night. Maybe we should quite watchng Will and Grace and Queer Eye. I'll never watch In & Out again!

17. "enforced homosexualization"
Now see, that's exactly why I don't live in New England anymore. Gawd, if there's one thing I can't stand, it's those freakin' roadblocks they got, checkin' cars, making sure the guys are with the guys, the gals with the gals.

One time we was out parking, and some state trooper came up, shined his flashlight right in our window, made us get out. When he saw one of us was female, the other male, danged if he didn't write us a ticket for being one of them there hetero-sexuals couples.

31. Here in California
it's not the cops enforcing the homosexualization, it's society at large.

You can't get a table at a restaurant with someone of the opposite gender, and there have been stories about realtors redlining straight couples out of the "better" neighborhoods and teachers refusing to teach children of straight parents. Apparently in the cities there are bars where straight people can meet each other, but it's all very hush-hush. Walking down the street holding hands is dangerous in most areas; people have been killed for being straight in the less tolerant areas.

I don't know any straight people personally, but you have to feel sorry for people trapped in such a sad, sick lifestyle. Well, it's their choice to be that way, so they bring it upon themselves.

18. Religious gay bashers are mad because
at a state democratic convention last week delegates overwhelmingly voted to support gay marriage in Massachusetts.

I think they're pissed because there hasn't been any problems here at all since the Mass supreme ct legalized gay marriage and the citizenry has accepted it. period.

I know some gay people who have gotten married, and its no big deal and I feel happy for them and that they can live like the rest of us do.

I am glad to live in a state that is so progressive and accepting, the Reign of Madness is by the anti-gay groups, who are scary in their intolerance and hateful rhetoric.

23. "enforced homosexualization"
:rofl: These people have been at the communion wine too much or something. I'm sure they drag the children into indoctrination camps and whip them until they beg for mercy screaming 'OK, OK--I'll turn gay!!!"

Then once they become adults there are sex police who peek into their bedrooms to make sure they are with the right gender partners.


Oh wait...those are the conservatives.

I was too busy laughing uncontrollably to walk to the stairs (we both work out of the house).

He called upstairs to see what I was laughing so hard about.

Then I send the link to him.

He said, "Lions, Tigers and Bears - Oh, My!"

33. What's worse: being asked if you've had a sex change or this:




???????

What would Jesus's answer to this be if he were around today?

Maimed children: cool. Loving relationship between two people of the same gender: uncool? I don't think so.

How do these people look at themselves in the mirror?

37. Mass. has lowest divorce rate in country, Born Agains the highest
Don't know where all the "homosexuals" are but apparently they aren't a threat to anyone's marriage in Mass. What is it with gay bashing and republicans? God knows they have their own skeletons. Wish someone would set them straight. 2 really good articles:

"Walking the walk on family values"
WILLIAM V. D'ANTONIO

The state with the lowest divorce rate in the nation is Massachusetts. At latest count it had a divorce rate of 2.4 per 1,000 population, while the rate for Texas was 4.1.

But don't take the US government's word for it. Take a look at the findings from the George Barna Research Group. George Barna, a born-again Christian whose company is in Ventura, Calif., found that Massachusetts does indeed have the lowest divorce rate among all 50 states. More disturbing was the finding that born-again Christians have among the highest divorce rates.

The Associated Press, using data supplied by the US Census Bureau, found that the highest divorce rates are to be found in the Bible Belt. The AP report stated that "the divorce rates in these conservative states are roughly 50 percent above the national average of 4.2 per thousand people." The 10 Southern states with some of the highest divorce rates were Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. By comparison nine states in the Northeast were among those with the lowest divorce rates: Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2004/10/31/walking_the_walk_on_family_values/

Wonder why the Liberal media isn't saying this.

Don't bet against the fact if the tables were reversed Patrick Robertson would be out singing in the wind.

Bush's own home state destroying the "sanctity of marriage" and that bastion of left-wing Liberalism respecting it. Buwhahahahaha. You dummies

40. Lewis Black
Live and in living color in Northampton said - the religious right is wrong about going after gay marriage. Let them marry. After 5 years they (the gays) will say "that was a mistake" and regret they sought the right.

Lewis was spot on, saying the state constitutions should not be fucked with.

John Adams wrote the Massachusetts Constitution. If it was good enough for him, it's good enough for me.
