Family Research Council basically says: Gays are evil just for the lulz
"Local groups will try to elect more homosexuals to places of power, push in-school gay-straight alliances, support D.C. sex-oriented businesses, defend adult entertainment, grant special perks to cross-dressing prisoners, force same-sex adoption, and legalize sex trafficking. Lots of people in this country mistakenly believe that this community will be satisfied when it redefines marriage. That's not the case. Homosexuals and transgenders won't be happy until they sever every moral underpinning in America. This has never been about "acceptance" or "equality" but about a devastating strategy meant to destroy innocence, the family, local communities, public health, and parental authority."

Is it just me or do Tony Perks and the Family Research Council see liberals and gays as Saturday morning cartoon villains?

Ahh, you thwarted our evil agenda once more, Tony Perkins. But we'll be back to try and take over the world again... next Saturday at 8AM.

2. The messaging is slipping downhill from it's earlier more polite tone
Probably an indication as to how low the monthly 'take' has gotten.

Gawd Bless Our Cash Flow!

3. What is this Tony Perkins obsession with gaydom?
Every other time some Republican gets obsessed with "teh gay", it turns out he's a closet homosexual. So I'm calling Perkins out: he's a self-hating closeted homosexual.

9. Thank you.
The urban dictionary gives multiple definitions, so it was rather confusing.

18. Corruption of lol
Basically a variety of meanings:

Shits and Giggles
or
For Laughs

But it's mostly the latter that fits better. The word actually came from 4chan's /b/.

6. God damn the Family Research Council
God damn anyone who doesn't hate them.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean.

Fuck the worthless, motherfucking, pieces of Satan's own shit. Fuck all of their friends. Fuck anyone who feels luke-warm toward them.

These fundie suckers of the Devil's cock are the one true enemy of America and of every decent human being on the planet.

7. And we would have gotten away with it, too
If it weren't for those meddling kids!

Damn, but how tough must it be to be Tony Perkins? I mean, here you are, practicing bigotry that's been an accepted part of the social landscape for years. And now you have to dress it up in whatever's handy so that you can gull people into giving you money. You're kind of stuck, what with that "Serve one another in love" thing and "Love does not insist on its own way" stuff. And you have to bend it, twist it, and otherwise just deny so much that's there in order to get it to serve your prejudiced ends. Fortunately, you're talking to a bunch of other bigots who are more than happy to follow your lead because it's so comforting to pretend that you have a patina of legitimacy for your hatred.

Tony knows, or should know, that what he is doing is so very wrong. But he does it anyway, because as another passage says, his conscience is seared over, and he doesn't or can't distinguish between right and wrong anymore. And the money! Oh, the money is sooooo good. Thirty pieces of silver just means that other guy was a piker.

8. Try to take over the world, Pinky, just like every Saturday.
After all, Pinky isn't named Pinky for nothing. ;-)

10. Again, I have to ask the question. Do gay people have families?
Because these assholes seem to think they don't or at least they want to make others believe they don't. This is a fucked up attempt to dehumanize real people and I find it absolutely disgusting. It is yet another example of the failings of religious belief.

15. Let's just substitute a few words, shall we?
Local groups will try to elect more right-wing conservatives to places of power, push in-school abstinence only education, support D.C. politicians who join certain religious grous, defend family values entertainment, grant special perks to prisoners who accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour, force women to jump through all kinds of hoops to obtain contraception, and legalize spying on American citizens without court approval and torture as an interrogation technique.


Yep, that certainly is a strategy.

19. Here's what they're really saying.
Edited on Thu Jun-17-10 07:03 PM by Jkid
"Local groups will try to elect more sexual minorities to places of power, push in-school gay-straight alliances, support D.C. sex-oriented businesses, defend adult entertainment, grant special perks to cross-dressing prisoners, force same-sex adoption, and legalize sex trafficking. Lots of people in this country mistakenly believe that this community will be satisfied when it redefines marriage. That's not the case. The GLBT won't be happy until they sever every conservative moral underpinning in America. While in mainstream America it's all about "acceptance" or "equality" but about a devastating strategy meant to destroy our definition of innocence, our definition of family, conservative local communities, our public health, and our parental authority."

Guess they can't DEAL WITH IT, so they put still spew heterosexist bullshit because they think the average John Doe will not verified their statements are real.
