LJ-SEC: (ORIGINALLY POSTED BY thoth_moon) A week or two back I posted an entry containing an article found on the website jewsonfirst.org about a Jewish family who were basically ran out of town by an uber-Christianist our-pointy-white-hoods-are-still-being-ordered school district and community who had harrassed the familly due to their faith.  So, here's a follow-up so far:

Damn, some people are fucking nuts.  One dickwad in there appears to think he's Jesus Christ Himself.  Though, knowing that, it does bring me some slight satisfaction seeing the names of a few groups I wouldn't mind suddenly waking up in a country where they stone you for wearing a cross were mentioned on the KKK-ish side.  They might not realize how stupid they are, but if someone of a virtually neutral persuasion saw them linked to shit like this, wouldn't you think it might make them leary of anything else the morons back in the future?

Some of you might have seen this before, from mutual friends or because a lot of us seem to be from Texas, but here goes:


Recently, HEB spent $300 to support the Gay Pride parade in San Antonio. Take a look at what a Christian radio station in SA has done with it.

Now, don't get me wrong - I have no problem with people not supporting businesses that they don't agree with - I don't buy Chick-fil-a anymore for the same reason. My ire comes at them comparing supporting gays to supporting terrorists; to this group demanding that HEB rescind it's support and apologize publicly for said support, etc.


And if you take a look at Adam's Stands, you'll just vomit. This stood out to me:


"I've been accused of being 'homophobic'. But I'm not afraid of homosexuals, I'm afraid for homosexuals. The average age of death for a homosexual male with AIDS is 39. And the average age of death for a homosexual male without AIDS is only 42. It seems like the compassionate approach would be to challenge the person to stop participating in unnatural deviant behaviors that lead to his own premature death."

Where the fuck does this guy get this statistic? I've heard of zealots thinking that gays are just killing themselves off and only live a few scant years because of their 'deviant lifestyle' but ohmigod.

Anyway. Write some emails of your own and show your support.

March Together STILL doesn't get that a) the Onion piece was a satire and b) that continuing to keep it alive is simply making MT and the anti-abortion movement look like a convention of the Jukes and the Kallikaks.
