"Faced with losing her seven-year-old daughter to her former lesbian partner, Lisa Miller made the only choice a new Christian could: she sought her minister's help. After two courts ordered Lisa to transfer custody of her biological daughter to a woman with no adoptive rights, she felt she had no choice but to flee the country. Kenneth Miller, a Mennonite pastor from Vermont, helped her escape--and will now be paying for it with a 27-month prison sentence.

"Last summer, a jury found him guilty of helping Lisa and her daughter, Isabella, travel from Virginia to the Canadian border and then to Central America via the Toronto airport. During the two-hour sentencing, Miller told the judge he 'couldn't promise' that he would never again help a parent smuggle a son or daughter out of the country. He saw, as so many of us do, a vulnerable child--and a government bent on redefining family law to the exclusion of the actual parents. 'I give myself unto you to do with me as you see fit,' an emotional Miller told the court. To many of us, the pastor's predicament seems extreme--but a day may come when we all have to make a similar choice.

"Obviously, there are things we can do between now and then to protect ourselves, like electing strong conservative leaders and resisting the ever-growing reach of the federal government. But under an administration as hostile to faith as this one is, Christians may soon find themselves in the same position of breaking an unjust law. Will you have the courage to do what Kenneth Miller did? Don't wait until the moment is upon you before contemplating this. Are you willing to accept the penalty instead of compromising your principles?" - Hate group leader Tony Perkins, endorsing the kidnapping of children from their gay parents.

end of quote

Now Mr. Perkins is not some crazy uncle living in an attic in some small town. He is the leader of the leading organization which fights equality for gay people in the nation. Now imagine for a moment that the head of the HRC went on TV and stated that gay people should prepare to kidnap gay kids who get forced to go to camps to cure them. The HRC would cease to exist. No network would have their leadership on their shows. No Democratic politician would welcome him at their fundraisers. He would literally become persona non grata. Will that happen to Perkins?

4. Another issue is the cultural naturalization of the 7 year old.

A 7 year old who is born in the US and culturally naturalized in American culture forced to move to South America? That's just moronic.

5. The people who are on the side of morals and values usually lack them completely.

Words cannot describe how much I flat out despise hate mongers like Tony Perkins and Bryan Fischer. Just truly awful, ugly excuses for human beings.

6. "Yes, mother. Gay people are evil. Yes, mother, I'll stop them"

Sorry, I always imagine Tony Perkins talking to his long-dead mother in the attic. Same level of insanity.

7. Despicable. Unfortunately the way to jjail hatemongers like Perkins is for them to commit a crime

a terrible kidnapping crime.

Oh but I wish there were a way to shut these fuckers up.

8. I'm thinking there must of been a VERY compelling reason that TWO courts decided against her

and in favor of her ex partner. To give custody to an adoptive parent over a biological parent is rare unless the biological parent is dangerous, abusive, neglectful and/or crazy.

9. Well, he's wrong.

And he's not very bright.

Dearie, dearie me, what a ridiculous mess all this stuff has become. Getting kind of out of hand, really...
