From the Pure Projection dept.: Fundies coin the term "Gay Fascists"
:wow:



from the fundie journal, the American Family Assn.'s OneNewsNow:



'Gay fascists' storm church, attack members
Charlie Butts - OneNewsNow - 11/13/2008 4:00:00 AM


Homosexual activists recently attacked a Michigan church during its worship service.

The attack occurred at Mount Hope Church in Lansing, Michigan, by a group of self-described homosexual anarchists called "Bash Back!" Susan Fani of the Catholic League describes what happened.

"Outside they were chanting 'Jesus was a homo' on a megaphone. They were beating on buckets, presumably to drown out what the pastor was saying inside the church, and carrying an upside-down pink cross," she explains. "They set off the fire alarm. They unfurled this big banner because they apparently were hiding in an unused part of the church, like the balcony area."

A Catholic League article also notes the "gay fascists" stormed the pulpit and shouted obscenities at church members. The protesters carried a banner that read, "It's okay to be gay! Bash Back!"

Fani contends the group's activities were illegal. "The police did show up and, as far as we can tell, no one was arrested, which we also don't understand because apparently most of the 30 or so people in this group fled before the police got there, but some were still there," she adds.

President of the Catholic League Bill Donahue laments the refusal of the biased, mainstream media to report on what he calls one of the most disturbing events this year. "If an organized group of gay bashers stormed a gay church, there is not a single sentient person in the United States who wouldn't know about it."

The league is contacting Mike Cox, Michigan's attorney general, for an investigation.

4. A "gay fascist" is a gay or lesbian person who wants equality
A "gay fascist" is someone who wants the same rights as heterosexuals. A "gay fascist" is someone who doesn't want to be a second class citizen in his or her own country. So, in that respect, I'm proud to call myself a "gay fascist"

5. I was just going for a little bit of sarcasm
at the expense of the fundies. The group calls themselves homosexual anarchist and the fundies were calling them "gay fascists". I've always noticed the freepers and fundies tend to confuse which end of the political spectrum they are on.
