Day of Truth designed to counter gay-supportive observance

[Cannikin]

NEW YORK - Irked by the success of the nationwide Day of Silence, which seeks to combat anti-gay bias in schools, conservative activists are launching a counter-event this week called the Day of Truth aimed at mobilizing students who believe homosexuality is sinful.

Participating students are being offered T-shirts with the slogan “The Truth Cannot be Silenced” and cards to pass out to classmates Thursday — the day following the Day of Silence — declaring their unwillingness to condone “detrimental personal and social behavior.”

The driving force behind the Day of Truth is the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group that has opposed same-sex marriage and challenged restrictions on religious expression in public schools. The event is endorsed by several influential conservative organizations, including the Christian ministry Focus on the Family and the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission.

1. The sooner we all realize that the Bible supercedes the Constitution...

The sooner the stonings can begin!


"But I would not feel so all alone..."

6. Stoning is so-

Primitive. I'm sure they'd prefer burning at the stake, or pressing to death. Almost 400 years of American history, and these assholes are regressing us to Puritans Ville, circa 1630.

7. Well if the stones are 'full metal jacket' or 'hollowpoint' +P

I suppose they'd be willing to make exceptions.

8. Yup

Good target practice, and you can train in yer sights killin' off them Demmycrat commnist gay luvers. Praise Jaysus.

2. So much for

Separation of Church and State. It was a good idea while it lasted. But these conservative Fundies are rapidly taking us back to the Middle Ages.

3. This recent law school graduate will NEVER understand ..

how anyone who fought through 4 years of the most intense schooling ever, chock full of talk on constitutional and civil rights preservation, and one's role of social responsibility, would participate in an effort to denigrate an entire class of persons.

Vile, just vile. These lawyers should be ashamed of themselves. It is one thing to fight for some little club's equal access to public facilities; it is another for an entity associated with LAWYERS (ADF) to publicly proselytize (as an org.).

4. I love these Orwellian names they give things

Truth my ass.

5. Doncha just love the way

they have taken the words truth and love? Nothing could be more dishonest than to portray themselves with those words.
