Americans for "truth"

http://americansfortruth.com/index.php

This is a new anti-gay website set up for the sole purpose to attack gays and spread lies about them.

Remember "swift boat veterans for truth?" The fake group set up by some rich guys to lie about John Kerry...These fools can't even come up with an original name...

They say that gays say this...

"We shall sodomize your sons, We shall seduce them in your schools, in your dormitories, in your gymnasiums, in your locker rooms, in your youth groups, Your sons shall become our minions and do our bidding. They will come to crave and adore us. All laws banning homosexual activity will be revoked. Instead, legislation shall be passed which engenders love between men. Our writers and artists will make love between men fashionable.. We shall raise vast, private armies.to defeat you. The family unit..will be abolished. Perfect boys will be conceived and grown in the genetic laboratory..All churches who condemn us will be closed. Our only gods are handsome young men. All males who insist on remaining stupidly heterosexual will be tried in homosexual courts of justice and will become invisible men. Tremble, hetero swine, when we appear before you without our masks."

Peter is basing all this fear of the homosexual bogeyman on a novel "The homosexual agenda" written by Micheal Swift in 1987. Swift was angry and wrote a "satire" (definition of satire: not true) about the ridiculous accusations that were always being made about gays. He started the essay making it clear that it was a satire.

"This essay is an outre, madness, a tragic, cruel fantasy, an eruption of inner rage on how the oppressed desperately dream of being the oppressor. He then wrote "we will sodomize your sons. We shall seduce them in your schools.....If you cry faggot, fairy, or queer at us we will stab you in your cowardly hearts and defile your dead puny bodies."

Probably not the smartest thing ever done in the history of gay rights. However, the vicious religious right latched on to it like a pack of pit bulls and omitted what he said about it being a satire....a joke....a fantasy....

Just like right here on this site......

Nice try Peter.....

It was because of this book by Micheal Swift that a meeting occurred at Glen Eyrie in 1994 ....43 men and 12 women (all Christian leaders) got together to plan the war against gays....

By the time Swift's book got passed around to all the Christians, government officials, legislators, radio preachers it took on a life of it's own. There was now a devil in the country trying to tear it down from it's very foundation. That devil had a name. The devil is now called homosexuality.

The meeting had 3 main goals:

1. Prove Heterosexuality is best for individuals and society as a whole.

2. Prove Homosexuality is a "choice."

3. Prove that society has the right to make demands on people sexuality.

What's really sad? This group uses the gay rights code as their IRS code to be a non-profit group.......

Funny a group set up soley to attack gay Americans and that qualifies as a non-profit? Is the Klan a non-profit too?
