Homophobe du jour:
Glenn Stanton's Why Marriage Matters (1997.

Keep an eye on this guy. Slick and full of mis-information, pseudoscience and biased research. He was on CSPAN last fall over and over talking to a church group in Minn. who ate up his line of
misinformation and fell in lock step with his right wing agenda.

He began by describing marriage as the insitution that protects women from abuse by men. From there it seemed clear to no one how gay coupes threatened that premise but the audience of blue hairs followed blindly.



Here's a right wing screed: know thy enemy.

1. Tony Perkins, pro-family leader & Baptist in La., named FRC president
Photgenic all American boy-type- but look into the eyes, pure evil.

"Perkins has gained a pro-family reputation in Louisiana with his vocal opposition to gambling and abortion and his authorship of the nation's first covenant marriage law. His concern about the influence of the homosexual movement led him to found the Louisiana Family Forum in 1998."


From Gay Press:

>"Four years ago, Perkins addressed the Louisiana chapter of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), America's premier white supremacist organization, the successor to the White Citizens Councils, which battled integration in the South," Blumenthal wrote. "In 1996 Perkins paid former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke $82,500 for his mailing list. At the time, Perkins was the campaign manager for a right-wing Republican candidate for the US Senate in Louisiana. The Federal Election Commission fined the campaign Perkins ran $3,000 for attempting to hide the money paid to Duke."

Of course, this doesn't stop Perkins from trying to fuel his political objectives by standing beside black preachers and condemning gays and "gay marriage." "<
