Man Preaches Homophobia To Young Children
Full title: In Rhode Island, Man Preaches Homophobia, Misinformation About Marriage Equality To Young Children

From Equality Matters:

As the Rhode Island legislature conducted hearings several weeks ago on a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state, one anti-gay activist spent his time teaching young children a series of homophobic and outrageous falsehoods about the bill, including the claim that marriage equality is a plot to destroy America and arrest kids who believe in God.

"They didn’t arrest any kids yet, but they will in the future," the unidentified man tells a little girl, ostensibly talking about pro-equality activists. "This is a way to destroy the United States. It’s a way to end religion, it’s a way to end the family, and it’s a way to cause depopulation."

...

Considering the extent to which anti-gay advocates fear monger about the indoctrination of children, it’s worth asking: what are they teaching their children?

1. Mandatory Jesus Camps next?
Your children taken away from you unless you practice and teach your kids Christianity? WATCH these people. Our freedoms depend on it.

9. Well South Dakota has made Jesus Camp mandatory for women seeking an abortion.
South Dakota Bill Would Require "Crisis Pregnancy Center" Counseling Before An Abortion

I suppose that mandatory Jesus Camp for children isn't too far away.

3. If anybody has an "agenda" it's rabid homophobes.
I saw that bitch Victoria Jackson (R-Stupid) last night holding her Bible and ranting about it. Of course, she doesn't really know her bible, or she'd know that she shouldn't be lecturing to men, wearing fabric made of more than one fiber, or dying her (ugly) hair.

She has also been divorced, so she should be stoned. And because I'm sure she mouthed off to her parents as a kid, they should have killed her.

And then there's that pesky verse about not judging others. But since Jackson is as smart as her voice makes her sound, I doubt she can even read.

She took it from her hotel room. Cause she didn't bring her own. Cause she's full of shit.

8. Perfectly Said......



Such a complete mess, that she kept dropping her talking points... so she tried to rattle them all off at once, in which she failed at miserably as well......


Very strange behavior for someone who is used to being in front of the cameras.........


Does anyone else get the feeling that some folks being interviewed on these shows have a substance abuse problem.....


Now, let me be clear that I am not saying Victoria Jackson has a substance abuse problem... but when one listens to some folks... hummmmm.......


... and since I am too much of a gent to ask anyone if they are on drugs...... the only charitable explanation in some cases one can offer..... has to be mental illness.....


Just... Wow.......
