Myth: Gays cause natural disasters
Katrina, 911, tornados, hurricanes, tsunamis. This is just the most ridiculous of them all..But here we go...
1. 911 Falwell

Blame for Biblical plagues and natural disasters
Main article: Religion and homosexuality
Since the middle ages, "sodomites" were blamed for "bringing down the wrath of God" upon the land, and their pleasures blamed for the periodic epidemics of disease which decimated the population. However, Ezekiel 16:49 disputes this notion. This "pollution" was thought to be cleansed by fire (modeled after the mythical destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah), as a result of which countless individuals were burned at the stake or run through with white-hot iron rods.
A modern example of this type of thinking was shown by the Rev. Jerry Falwell, who blamed gays and lesbians (among others) for indirectly causing the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington of September 11, 2001. On the broadcast of the Christian television program "The 700 Club," Falwell made the following statement (for which he later apologized):
I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'
Since the 1980s, similar accusations have been made, inspired by the AIDS epidemic, labeling it a gay disease and divine retribution against homosexuals. The epidemic, however, has touched primarily people engaged in opposite-sex behaviors, and medical evidence indicates the disease is propagated not because the sex of the partner is the same as one's own, but as a factor of unhygienic sexual behaviors (such as relations with multiple partners concurrent with an absence of protective techniques).
2. Pat Robertson
(King
of the Cavemen...)Yabba Dubya Dooooo
Pat Robertson, founder of the Christian Coalition, recently warned Orlando, Florida, that it was courting natural disaster by allowing gay pride flags to be flown along its streets.
"A condition like this will bring about ... earthquakes, tornadoes, and possibly a meteor," he said, apparently referring to his belief that the presence of openly gay people incurs divine wrath and that God acts through geological and meteorological events to destroy municipalities that permit gay people the same civil liberties as others.

3. Hurricane Katrina
Katrina was because of the gay party "Decadence"

Katrina was God's warning
We wonder how it must feel to go through life so masked by your hatred and ignorance that you are clueless enough to truly believe that gays cause natural disasters..
What about all the hurricanes annually in Florida? Why do we not blame these on old Jewish people?

Oh and Gays cause soldiers to die in Iraq...
4. Fred Phelps.

"They just say anything, but none of those words that they say change these facts that God is punishing this nation."
Phelps and his family believe that God is punishing the country - and causing the deaths of troops overseas - because America condones homosexuality.
He show up at funerals for Americas soldiers with signs that say God hates fags and disrupts what is the most private, stressful, and heart wrenching times of people's lives. The man is a lunatic and congress has actually spent time to make a law about disrupting funeral because of him. Funny how they didn't mind when he was disrupting gay people's funerals that died of aids.
