<p>This is the first of a two-part interview with Raleigh pastor <strong><a href="http://www.plwooden.org" target="_blank">Patrick Wooden</a></strong> on the landslide passage of the North Carolina Marriage Amendment May 8, 2012 [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/05/5-12-12-Patrick-Wooden-Part-One.mp3">HERE to listen</a>]. This interview was recorded May 10, 2012, and aired on WYLL-Chicago (AM 1160) May 12th. Joining the interview with AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong> is <strong>John Kirkwood</strong>, pastor of Grace Gospel Fellowship in Bensenville, Illinois. (Beginning in June, AFTAH&#8217;s weekly radio broadcast will be transitioning to a weekly podcast, hosted by LaBarbera and Kirkwood; all programs will be archived on the Americans  For Truth website, where most listeners have heard the show.)</p>
<p>Wooden, pastor of the <strong><a href="http://upperroomgospel.org/" target="_blank">Upper Room Church of God in Christ Church</a></strong> in Raleigh, discusses how homosexual activists sought to confuse North Carolina voters on the Marriage Amendment, which passed by a 61-39 percent margin. He said many citizens had not even read the Marriage Amendment language, which in its simplicity would expose the &#8220;outright lies&#8221; of the opposition in exaggerating its effect of the amendement in the state. He also discusses <strong>President Barack Obama&#8217;s</strong> capitulation on the homosexual &#8220;marriage&#8221; issue&#8211;which he says is contradictory to Obama&#8217;s professed Christian faith.

<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">By </span><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Coach Dave Daubenmire, of <a href="http://www.ptsalt.com" target="_blank">Pass the Salt Ministries</a></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> April 26, 2012<br />
</span><em><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: small;">Reprinted from <a href="http://newswithviews.com/Daubenmire/dave278.htm" target="_blank">NewsWithViews.com</a> [to learn more about "NewsWithViews" and subscribe to their e-mails, go <a href="http://www.newswithviews.com/About_Us.htm" target="_blank">HERE</a>.]</span></em></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">The boys are back in town.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Not that they ever went anywhere. But <a href="http://www.mikeheath.net/" target="_blank">Mike Heath</a> and <a href="http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/04/10/maine-super-pac-creates-pledge-against-sodomy-based-marriage/" target="_blank">Paul Madore</a> are teaming up once again to take on the sodomites in Maine.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">That is bad news for the gay-rights thugs, and they know it. Heath and Madore are like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Batman and Robin, or the Lone Ranger and Tonto.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">They are the homosexual movement’s worst nightmare.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">For the seventh time in recent history, there is an attempt by the deviant-left to foist “sodomy-based marriage” onto the grandchildren of the citizens of Maine. When does “no” mean no?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span id="more-11451"></span>Six times they have tried, and six times this dynamic-duo has helped push them back. It hasn’t been easy, and it hasn’t come without a cost. They both have the scars to prove it.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">But at least they have scars. Rare is the man willing to take the arrows that come for standing publicly for what he believes. With all due respect to homo-queen <strong>Elton John</strong>, Madore and Heath can sing “I’m still standing” as they enter the ring in what they believe is the final round against the sodomy crowd.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>“We are going for the knockout,”</em> Heath recently told me. <em>“We are going to turn them back with a 70 percent vote. It will be a long time before the homosexual activists get off of the canvas in Maine.”</em></span></p>
<div id="attachment_11455" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/04/Paul_Madore.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-11455" title="Paul_Madore" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/04/Paul_Madore-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Paul Madore</p></div>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>“It is time to get serious with the society on the issue of homosexuality and the practical effects that are very harmful to society that this distorted and perverted lifestyle will have. It is time to take the gloves off. Good people just keep moving the line back in regards to homosexuality. But not any more,”</em> says Madore.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Heath, an ordained minister and pastor of the <strong>non 501 (c)(3)</strong> <a href="http://www.mikeheath.net/" target="_blank">Helping Hands Ministry</a>, and Madore, a strong working-class conservative-Catholic, are not to be taken lightly.</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>“For 30 years we have bought the lies and we have played by the Homosexual’s rules. We have tried the “nice” approach to Christianity and have continually lost ground. For me, and this ministry, it is not about a political referendum. I spent a career depending on politicians and it took me awhile to see the light. This is not a political issue. It is a moral issue. Our goal is to re-stigmatize sodomy. To paint a picture in the mind of Mainers exactly what it is that sodomites DO. We want to make the thought of sodomy abominable once again,”</em> Heath says.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">These guys play to win to win. They believe the future of the culture is at stake.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Heath used to run with the “big dogs” in the pro-family movement. Although his name is not as nationally known, he was at the table with <strong>James Dobson</strong>, <strong>Tony Perkins</strong>, <strong>Ralph Reed</strong> and the boys as the fight for culture has been waged over the years. He saw the emergence of the unholy alliance as the Christian leadership slowly morphed into Republican lapdogs.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">The Christians held a seat at the table, but the “Republicans” are the ones who called the shots.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Truth be told? The Republican establishment has never been comfortable with the partnership.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">They loved the Christians’ votes, but not their issues. After three decades, what do the Christians have to show for the hundreds of millions of dollars that the grass roots donors have trusted them with?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Well, they have a beautiful complex in Colorado Springs, palatial offices in Washington D.C., silk ties and leather shoes in the halls of Congress, and millions of names in their donor bases.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">What have they given us in return? Perhaps <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/5136050/US-religious-Right-concedes-defeat.html" target="_blank">Dr. Dobson could tell us</a>:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>“We tried to defend the unborn child, the dignity of the family, but it was a holding action, We are awash in evil and the battle is still to be waged. We are right now in the most discouraging period of that long conflict. <strong>Humanly speaking, we can say we have lost all those battles.”</strong></em></span></p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">It would be interesting to note that shortly after that honest statement, <strong>Dr. James Dobson</strong> was <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/11/james-dobson-pushed-out-o_n_495022.html" target="_blank">forced out of Focus on The Family</a>, an organization he founded and led for a generation because they <em>“wanted to take a new, less divisive direction.”</em> Yep. Fighting abortion, sodomy, and sin has become too divisive to the Christians in nice suits.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">God bless Dr. Dobson for all he did. Today, <strong><a href="http://www.focusonthefamily.com/" target="_blank">Focus on the Family</a></strong> is MIA in the culture war. They have returned to the safety of “pastoring the family” instead of training the troops to defend the family by fighting the enemy.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Sad, isn’t it? Most Christian organizations are proudly endorsing Mitt Romney in the battle between the “Morman and the Muslim.” Their only hope is that the arm of the Republican Party can defend Christians better than the hand of the Lord. But I am sure those donations are still rolling in…</span></p>

</dl>
</div>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Mike Heath knows how Dr. Dobson feels. After 25 years, he too, was forced out of his position at the <a href="http://www.cclmaine.org/" target="_blank">Christian Civic League of Maine</a>. What was his crime? He played to win. He recognized that it was war and he understood the stakes. Unfortunately, others didn’t. They felt it was nobler to lose looking good in their fancy suits, than to win with a bloody nose and holes in your pants.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>“I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face.”</em> &#8211;Coach Woody Hayes.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">In a <a href="http://www.catholicmaine.com/blog/?p=21172" target="_blank">recent press release</a> “the boys in the suits” at the <a href="http://www.nationformarriage.org/site/c.omL2KeN0LzH/b.7980587/k.BF50/Home.htm" target="_blank">National Organization for Marriage</a> (NOM, which just endorsed Romney), [NOM President Brian Brown] said, <strong><em>“We reject attempts to make this campaign [over homosexual "marriage" in Maine] about the morality of homosexuality.” </em></strong>Homosexuality is not a moral issue, huh?</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Yep, we have lost a lot of ground but have sure looked polished doing it. Most national pro-family organizations have modeled the church. They want to be nicer than Jesus. Well Heath and Madore want to win. They think Jesus is glorified through victory. Can you help? Here is their plan.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Madore is Rocky Balboa. Heath is his trainer Mickey. Together, these defenders of the Faith are going to take sodomy head-on. I read the following in a recent newsletter I received.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>“The issue is not marriage. The issue is not “rights.” The issue is not “fairness.” The issue is sodomy. Homosexuality is not a lifestyle. Homosexuality is a behavior. ‘Sodomy is most commonly legally defined as any contact between the genitals of one person, and the mouth or anus of another’.”</em> <a href="http://www.gaylib.com/text/clas12.htm" target="_blank">Gaylib.com</a>.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>Permit me to clarify the definition. Sodomy is one MAN inserting his genitals into the mouth or anus of ANOTHER MAN.</em></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>Say it again. Say it out loud so your ears hear it. Picture it in your mind. Picture Barney Frank and Elton John in action…Barney Frank putting his genitals into Elton John’s…</em></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><em>That is what they want to tell us is normal…no wait…tell our children is normal. Into that “union” they are asking permission to place children. Would you let them put YOUR grandchild into a sodomy-based family? Why would you let them do it to someone else’s child? Have normal people lost their minds?”</em></span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Rev. Mike Heath and “Mr. Maine” Paul Madore are taking the gloves off. They are putting the pictures on mobile trucks and are taking the truth of sodomy to every city, every school, and every home in Maine. Here is the <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/03/11/the-new-gay-marines/" target="_blank">picture they will put on the trucks</a> that they will drive throughout Maine.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">Oh, how the pigs will squeal. The sodomites will cry “hate” as if the truth of a picture can be hateful. The Christians in pretty suits will cry “mean” as if being nice ever won a war.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;">It is God who first called them sodomites. If it is good enough for Him then it should be good enough for us.</span></p>

<p>After a brief hiatus, <strong>Americans For Truth Radio</strong> is back featuring in-depth interviews with front-line, pro-family activists. This interview [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/04/4-7-12-Steve-Noble.mp3">HERE to listen</a>] by AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong> is with <strong><a href="http://c2athisweek.org/CMS/page/about-steve" target="_blank">Steve Noble</a></strong>, a Christian activist and talk show host in Raleigh, North Carolina. This was pre-taped and aired on WYLL-Chicago (1160 AM) April 7, 2012. Noble hosts a daily talk show, &#8220;Called2Action,&#8221; on 1030 AM Truth Radio in Raleigh (4:00 PM Eastern). Steve discusses the upcoming May 8 vote in North Carolina for the Marriage Amendment &#8212; which if passed would codify in the state&#8217;s constitution the preservation of marriage as one-man, one-woman. He notes how North Carolina&#8217;s homosexual activists are not affirming <em>their</em>right to &#8220;marry,&#8221; but rather throwing up disinformation against the Amendment.</p>
<p>On April 2, Noble interviewed LaBarbera on his program on the same subject [go <a href="http://c2athisweek.org/CMS/podcast" target="_blank">HERE</a> to the archive page and download the April 2nd podcast: "A 'Gay Marriage' North Carolina?"]. Noble is also the author of, &#8220;The Making of a Christian Wacko,&#8221; about his path to becoming a Christian pro-family activist.

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Scott Lively</dd>
</dl>
<p>This column was posted on Lively&#8217;s website, <a href="http://www.DefendTheFamily.com" target="_blank">DefendTheFamily.com,</a> March 18, 2012</p>
</div>
<p>I am a Bible-believing Christian Pastor and as such I oppose homosexuality and the now global movement to legitimize it in society. The Bible teaches that homosexuality is s sin specially condemned by God as an “abomination” destructive to both individuals and society (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=lev%2018:22f&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Leviticus 18:22f</a>). It is the only sin which prompted the destruction of a city by fire and brimstone (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=gen%2019&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Genesis 19</a>). It is the only sin chosen to epitomize the “reprobate mind,” meaning the mind given over completely to darkness and deceitfulness (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%201&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Romans 1</a>).</p>
<p>My job as a pastor is to preach this truth without apology or hedging so that people who suffer with a homosexual “orientation” can repent and be delivered from their bondage (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ezekial%203:18&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Ezekiel 3:18</a>), and society can be spared the damaging consequences of affirming that sin (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=jude%205-7&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Jude 1:7</a>). Many homosexuals from the very beginnings of Christianity have been healed of this affliction (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20cor%206:9-11&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">1 Cor 6:9-11</a>).</p>
<p>I also preach against the hatred and violence that some direct toward homosexuals. That too is a sin (<a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2022:37-39&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Matt 22:39</a>).</p>
<p>History affirms the Bible. This homosexual movement does in fact exemplify the conduct described in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=romans%201&amp;version=ESV" target="_blank">Romans 1</a>, so much so that since its rise to power it has silenced or destroyed nearly every opponent that once stood against it. Nearly everyone, including a significant number of my fellow clergy, are now afraid to speak against homosexuality for fear of retaliation.</p>
<p><span id="more-11270"></span>Being one of the few pastors with both knowledge about the “gay” movement and willingness to preach it unequivocally, I have become, by default, one of the leading voices in the world on the topic. The tactics used against me have escalated commensurately: first ridicule, then intimidation, then vandalism, then death threats and bomb threats, then lawsuits, then character assassination (globally).</p>
<p>This week I became the first American ever to be sued in <strong>U.S. Federal Court</strong> under the <strong>Alien Tort Statute</strong> for violation of the international law of <strong>“Crimes Against Humanity of Persecution</strong>” for my preaching against homosexuality in Uganda. Being also an attorney with international human rights credentials, I know this suit is baseless. (My comments about it are posted at <a href="http://www.DefendTheFamily.com" target="_blank">DefendTheFamily.com</a>). Nevertheless, it represents another serious effort to silence me, and to misrepresent the homosexual issue to the American people.</p>
<p>Implicit in all “gay” propaganda (and this lawsuit) is the narrative that all disapproval of homosexuality leads inevitably to hatred and violence against homosexuals. Why? Because disapproval of homosexuality is a mental illness called homophobia, an anxiety disorder grounded in fear of homosexuals. Thus, in “gay” logic, to preach against homosexuality is to provoke mentally unbalanced people to do violence against these innocents whom they irrationally fear.</p>
<p>In <strong>Uganda</strong>, the “gay” movement seemingly found the ideal case to fit its narrative. A white American pastor preached against homosexuality to a society of backwards, homophobic Blacks, leading to pubic debate and a legislative bill dealing harshly with homosexual conduct (which I opposed), culminating in the murder of <strong>David Kato</strong>, a leader of the “gay” movement there. Finally, proof of the thesis.</p>
<p>However, missing from the media frenzy (and the pages of the lawsuit) is the simple fact that David Kato was not murdered by a deranged “homophobe.” He was killed by a “gay” male prostitute whom Kato had bailed out of jail to be his live-in lover. This man, now serving a 30 year sentence in a Ugandan prison, confessed to bashing in Kato’s skull with a hammer when he failed to pay him for sexual favors as promised. The reality supports my thesis, not theirs.</p>
<p>Their thesis is in truth a paranoid delusion. Opposition to homosexuality is not an anxiety disorder. Disapproval of a person or thing does not equate to hatred or violence. And one person’s criticism of a political movement is not proximate cause for a third person’s wrongful actions toward the members of that group. It is perfectly rational to oppose a form of sexual conduct with serious moral, sociological and public health consequences. It is paranoid to interpret those reasonable views as hate.</p>
<p>This movement, which the Bible warns is given over completely to deceitfulness, will not tell the truth in this or any other situation in which its drive for control conflicts with the good of society. It and its allies devote vast resources to sell the illusion that homosexuality is a benign social phenomenon and that its detractors are malevolent bigots. No one anywhere can be allowed to disagree.</p>
<p>But I know the truth of the matter, and I am bound by my love of Christ and His Word to tell it, even if that makes me a “Criminal Against Humanity‘ in international law.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><em>GLAAD smears pro-family leaders while honoring homosexual activist hatemongers</em></strong></span></h4>
<h4><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em><span style="color: #333333;">WARNING:</span> Story includes uncensored, obscene tweet by hateful homosexual activist awarded by GLAAD</em></span></h4>
<div id="attachment_11149" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 380px"><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/03/GLAAD_Honors_Joe_Jervis_2011.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-11149" style="margin: 5px; border: 1px solid black;" title="GLAAD_Honors_Homosexual_Hatemonger_Joe_Jervis_2011" src="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/03/GLAAD_Honors_Joe_Jervis_2011.png" alt="" width="370" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">While smearing pro-family leaders who oppose homosexuality as &quot;haters,&quot; GLAAD honors hateful, anti-Christian homosexual activists like blogger Joe Jervis -- who blames the VICTIMS of pro-homosexual violence for &quot;hate crimes&quot; against them. Above is a 2011 GLAAD web item celebrating Jervis for his GLAAD &quot;Outstanding Blog&quot; award. See bottom of article for an example of Jervis&#39; viciousness. Click on image to enlarge.</p></div>
<p>The homosexual pressure group <strong><a href="http://www.glaad.org" target="_blank">GLAAD</a> (Gay &amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation)</strong> has named AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, AFTAH Board Member <strong>Matt Barber</strong> and 34 other American pro-family opponents of homosexual activism to a list of targeted commentators whom it aims to discredit by lobbying the media.</p>
<p>GLAAD’s new <strong><a href="http://www.glaad.org/cap" target="_blank">“Commentator Accountability Project” (CAP)</a></strong> focuses on “our nation’s most frequently quoted anti-gay activists,” according to the power homosexual pressure organization. GLAAD says CAP “is designed to shine a big, bright light on the extreme views of the vast majority of prominent anti-LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender"]talkers.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Hate is not an expert opinion,&#8221; GLAAD spokesman <strong>Herndon Graddick</strong> told the <em>Denver Post</em>, employing the same demonizing rhetoric used by the <strong>Southern Poverty Law Center</strong> &#8212; which labels mainstream pro-family organizations opposed to homosexuality like Americans For Truth, American Family Association and Family Research Council as “hate groups.”</p>
<p>GLAAD is asking its followers to provide critical information back to them against the 36 pro-family advocates &#8211; which GLAAD will then relay to “reporter, editors, show runners, and guest bookers [who] need to know about the violently anti-LGBT rhetoric that many of their guests regularly use.”</p>
<p>The following pro-family leaders are listed in <a href="http://www.glaad.org/cap" target="_blank">GLAAD&#8217;s CAP list</a>: Campaign for Working Familes&#8217; <strong>Gary Bauer</strong>, historian <strong>David Barton</strong>, NOM&#8217;s <strong>Brian Brown</strong>, Liberty Council Action&#8217;s <strong>Matt Barber</strong>, <strong>Dr. Michael Brown</strong>, Exodus International&#8217;s <strong>Alan Chambers</strong>, Mass Resistance&#8217;s <strong>Brian Camenker</strong>, Prison Fellowship&#8217;s <strong>Chuck Colson</strong>, Focus on the Family&#8217;s <strong>Jim Daly</strong>, Catholic League&#8217;s <strong>Bill Donohue</strong>, Christian Civic League of Maine&#8217;s <strong>Bob Emrich</strong>, <strong>Lou Engle</strong>, WND.com&#8217;s <strong>Joseph Farah</strong>, AFA&#8217;s <strong>Bryan Fischer</strong>, NOM founder <strong>Maggie Gallagher</strong>, California Prop 8 leader and pastor <strong>Jim Garlow</strong>, Princeton Prof. <strong>Robert George</strong>, Antioch Bible Church pastor <strong>Ken Hutcherson</strong>, pastor <strong>Harry Jackson</strong>, AFTAH&#8217;s <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, Defend the Family International&#8217;s <strong>Scott Lively</strong>, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President <strong>Albert Mohler</strong>, radio host <strong>Kevin McCullough</strong>, Ruth Institute&#8217;s <strong>Jennifer Roback Morse</strong>, CWA&#8217;s <strong>Penny Nance</strong>, <strong>Christopher Plante</strong>, Focus on the Family&#8217;s <strong>Glenn Stanton</strong>, Liberty Counsel&#8217;s <strong>Mat Staver</strong>, FRC&#8217;s <strong>Peter Sprigg</strong>, Vision America&#8217;s <strong>Rick Scarborough</strong>, author <strong>Frank Turek</strong>, <strong>Bob Vander Plaats</strong>, and <strong>Don Wildmon</strong> and his son, <strong>Tim Wildmon</strong>, of AFA.</p>
<p><span id="more-11146"></span>GLAAD’s information denigrating pro-family leaders comes mainly from other biased, pro-homosexual sources like People for the American Way’s “Right Wing Watch.” These sites often take quotations from pro-family leaders out of context to make them appear as “hateful” as possible. (Some of the cited quotations come from snippets of their interviews with LaBarbera on AFTAH’s weekly radio show.)</p>
<p><strong>Critics cite GLAAD intimidation</strong></p>
<p>Pro-family advocates say the GLAAD project is merely the latest attempt to discredit and silence pro-family views, which already are rarely included to balance &#8221;mainstream&#8221; media stories related to homosexuality.</p>
<p>“McCarthyism is alive and well within the ranks of the homo-fascist political lobby. Since liberals can’t win the debate, all they have left is to silence dissent,” said Barber, AFTAH board member and Vice President of Liberty Counsel Action. “As we’ve seen evidenced by the recent [Sandra] Fluke flap involving <strong>Rush Limbaugh</strong>, left-wing extremists have ramped-up their Orwellian efforts to silence those who pose a threat to their radical secular-socialist agenda.</p>
<p>“I count it an honor to be included among such a distinguished list of pro-family warriors,” Barber said.  “As Christ followers, we will never stop speaking God’s truth in love. These homosexualist hatemongers have exposed who they truly are. They will never silence us.”</p>
<p>Said AFTAH&#8217;s LaBarbera: &#8220;This is all about silencing, discrediting and demonizing pro-family voices. I guess GLAAD is so afraid that the truth about homosexuality will be heard that it will go to the extreme of creating a &#8216;blacklist&#8217; against moral leaders &#8212; for a media already disinclined to be fair on this politically correct issue.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Ironically, while GLAAD calls these pro-family advocates &#8216;hateful&#8217; and &#8216;extreme,&#8217; it champions the work of the real hatemongers on the homosexual side &#8212; people like blogger <strong><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/04/22/matt-barber-on-glaad-award-to-anti-christian-bigot-joe-jervis-of-joe-my-god-blog/" target="_blank">Joe Jervis</a></strong> (of the &#8216;Joe.My.God.&#8217; blog), who blames the Christian VICTIMS of pro-homosexual violence for attacks against them; and cyber-bully <strong><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/05/labarbera-asks-homosexual-activist-dan-savage-to-take-down-cyber-bullying-site-santorum-com/" target="_blank">Dan Savage</a></strong>, who created the hate-site, &#8216;Santorum[dot]com,&#8217; which re-defines Rick Santorum&#8217;s name as the vile by-product of homosexual sodomy,&#8221; LaBarbera said.</p>
<p><strong>Focus on the Family</strong> spokesman <strong>Gary Schneeberger</strong> – reacting to Focus CEO <strong>Jim Daly’s</strong> inclusion on the list of 36 – told the <em><a href="http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_20176559/glaad-targets-focus-family-list-inappropriate-conservative-commentators" target="_blank">Denver Post</a></em> that GLAAD project is an attempt &#8220;to stifle freedom of speech and freedom of religion by trying to intimidate the media.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Dr. Michael Brown</strong>, author of “<strong>A Queer Thing Happened to America</strong>,” told AFTAH: &#8220;It&#8217;s always an honor to be vilified for the truth and for biblical values. At the same time we need to recognize GLAAD for what it is: an intolerant group devoted to censoring dissenting views.”</p>
<p>Brown, who hosts the “Line of Fire” radio show, writes in his book that GLAAD’s habit of trying to squelch opponents’ views – e.g., GLAAD crusaded against CNN because it included former homosexual Richard Cohen in a TV debate segment – shows that its acronym should really stand for the <strong>“Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against DISAGREEMENT.”</strong> [See Mike Brown’s radio interview with AFTAH <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/05/02/aftah-interview-with-dr-michael-brown-part-one/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.]</p>
<p><strong>Media balance is “imbalance”?</strong></p>
<p>In <a href="http://www.mediaite.com/online/bias-is-not-balance-glaad-pushes-for-more-transparent-punditry/" target="_blank">GLAAD’s original online article</a> explaining the “Commentator Accountability Project,” <strong>Aaron McQuade</strong>, the group’s Director of News and Field Media, writes that “’accountability’ does not necessarily mean keeping these people out of the media,” but rather educating them on their “completely out of touch” views.</p>
<p>Curiously, McQuade posits that adding the perspective of an anti-“gay”-agenda critic to a news story (opposite a pro-homosexuality advocate) does not add balance to the story, but rather the opposite:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong> “Most of the voices the mainstream media turns to for stories about LGBT issues are so completely out of touch with the way everyday Americans view their LGBT friends, family members, neighbors and co-workers that all they could possibly add is imbalance.”</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Such a position jibes with GLAAD’s and other homosexual lobby groups’ penchant for classifying mainstream pro-family conservative critics of homosexuality (and homosexual “marriage”) as “extremists” who are morally equivalent to racists who fought against black civil rights. However, most African Americans who oppose the pro-homosexual agenda deeply resent the racism analogy.</p>

<p>One such black pro-family leader is <strong>Ken Hutcherson</strong>, a Washington State pastor and one of two black leaders included in GLAAD’s targeted list of 36 pro-family advocates. Hutcherson coined the phrase: <strong>“Don’t compare your sin to my skin.”</strong> He has argued forcefully – including in an <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/10/12/part-one-aftah-interview-with-dr-ken-hutcherson-aftah-banquet-speaker/" target="_blank">AFTAH radio interview</a> – that all attempts to equate opposition to the sin of homosexuality with racism are fraudulent.</p>

<p>Folks, my good friend <strong>Linda Harvey&#8217;s</strong> organization, <a href="http://www.missionamerica.com" target="_blank">Mission America</a>, has recently been added to the (bogus) list of &#8220;hate groups&#8221; created by the leftist, pro-homosexuality scam-artists over at <strong><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/23/splc-press-conference-audio-montgomery-al-january-17-2012/" target="_blank">Southern Poverty Law Center</a></strong> (welcome to the club, Linda!). <strong>Translation:</strong> Linda is an effective truth-teller and principled opponent of the homosexual activist lobby. She and her husband, Tom, are wonderful Christians who use their many talents to selflessly serve the Lord, and as such are models for citizen action. It was an honor for AFTAH to co-sponsor with Mission America our second <strong><a href="http://www.aftah.org/issues/truth-academy/" target="_blank">Truth Academy</a></strong>, last year in Columbus [Audio-CD ordering information <a href="http://www.aftah.org/issues/truth-academy/" target="_blank">HERE</a>].</p>

(She just forwarded me a few rancid e-mails from the Forces of Tolerance.) Yes, we all know who the real <em>hateful bigots</em> are &#8212; so isn&#8217;t it <em>queer</em> how the SPLC has never labeled a homosexual activist organization as a &#8221;hate group&#8221; (even one like the Chicago <strong><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/02/14/a-few-examples-of-the-gay-liberation-networks-hate-and-intolerance/" target="_blank">&#8220;Gay Liberation Network,&#8221;</a></strong> which explicitly <a href="http://christiannewswire.com/news/8937218080.html" target="_blank">REFUSED to condemn</a> a pro-homosexual <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/10/15/breaking-brick-throwing-vandals-attack-aftah-banquet-host-christian-liberty-academy/" target="_blank">brick attack</a> against Americans For Truth)?

<p>Here is the transcript of a radio commentary by Linda Harvey for the Columbus, <a href="http://www.wrfd.com/LocalHosts/58/" target="_blank">Ohio radio station WRFD</a> from last June dealing with so-called &#8220;gay pride month&#8221;:</p>
<p>_________________________________________</p>
<p>Mission America Commentary, June 2011</p>
<h4><strong>What’s Wrong with “Gay” Pride?</strong></h4>
<p>June used to be a month for weddings, graduations, Father’s Day and the beginning of summer. Unfortunately in recent years, it is also a time when all over the nation, many cities sponsor homosexual “pride” events. But I think these events are a time for shame and sorrow, not pride.</p>
<p>Columbus will hold a gay pride parade on Saturday, June 18<sup>th</sup>, Cleveland’s will be Saturday, June 25<sup>th</sup>, and Cincinnati’s is on July 10. Dayton already held a parade on June 4<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>For the third year in a row, our President issued an official White House Proclamation declaring June  <strong>“Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender” Pride Month</strong>.</p>
<p><span id="more-11098"></span>In this proclamation, Obama said, quote:</p>
<p>Each June, we commemorate…courageous individuals …and we rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. Unquote.</p>
<p>Of course, this statement doesn’t express the actual truth. All Americans have equal rights now. What the goal of homosexuals is to force acceptance of this behavior on all Americans. These are special rights based on sin and there’s nothing courageous about it.</p>
<p>Among his accomplishments, Obama mentioned the repeal of the military ban on homosexuality. He even said that national security would be “strengthened” as a result. He also cited his many executive orders granting new rights to homosexuals.</p>
<p>Then he mentioned his priority on youth. He said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Many senior Administration officials have also joined me in reaching out to LGBT youth who have been bullied by recording &#8220;It Gets Better&#8221; video messages to assure them they are not alone.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>“It Gets Better” is a video campaign organized by homosexual activist <strong>Dan Savage. [Editor's Note: see AFTAH press release <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/05/labarbera-asks-homosexual-activist-dan-savage-to-take-down-cyber-bullying-site-santorum-com/" target="_blank">HERE</a> calling on Savage to take down his disgusting web creation, "Santorum.com."]</strong> It has garnered the support of leftist politicians, including Obama, as well as some celebrities, to record messages for kids with the goal of encouragement. That would be a worthy goal if that is where it ended, Unfortunately it is not, and unfortunately, Dan Savage is hardly the kind of person one would think the president would align himself with.</p>
<p>“It Gets Better” features encouraging words to kids but also includes endorsement of homosexuality, and implies that objections to homosexuality are the same as any bullying they may be experiencing. And Dan Savage is hardly the person to talk about bullying.</p>
<p>First of all, Dan Savage writes a very explicit sex advice column, but then he also has been outrageously vicious to Christian conservatives, including <strong>Penny Nance</strong>, CEO of Concerned Women for America, and <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, president of Americans for Truth. Both have objected to his work, his anti-Christian vitriol and his lifestyle. Savage, who has a homosexual partner in a same sex “marriage” (not really, but that’s what he believes), has bragged publicly about having group sex that includes this partner. And&#8211; these two recently adopted a little boy.</p>
<p>Penny Nance objected to the broadcast of “It Gets Better” on a recent “American Idol” show, especially with her fourth-grade son watching.  Nance wrote about her concerns, and Dan Savage responded with a string of insults, calling her personally vulgar terms and concluded by expressing a hope that her little son might turn out to be a homosexual.</p>
<p>These are not attitudes nor behaviors to be “proud” of, friends. This is darkness. This is bullying. What can we do? Go to a “gay” pride parade and express your concern in a civil way.  We must keep our heads, speak out, and pray for these lost people, even as great evil is occurring, even at the highest levels in our land.</p>
<p>I’m Linda Harvey. Thanks for listening.</p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Kirk Cameron has bravely stood for Christian and biblical values in Hollywood.</dd>

<p>Below is a graphic put out by the homosexual media pressure group <strong><a href="http://www.glaad.org/blog/celebrities-sound-against-homophobia-after-fallen-teen-idol-kirk-cameron-launches-anti-gay" target="_blank">GLAAD</a> (Gay &amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation)</strong> &#8212; smearing <strong>Kirk Cameron</strong> as an &#8220;anti-gay extremist&#8221; for his recent heartfelt comments about homosexual behavior and &#8220;same-sex marriage,&#8221; on CNN&#8217;s <strong>Piers Morgan</strong> show. Watch the CNN interview <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/03/05/kirk-cameron-tells-cnns-piers-morgan-that-homosexuality-is-unnatural/" target="_blank">HERE</a>. As you can see, this is not the tone of an &#8220;extremist&#8221; but a thoughtful Christian man who is smart enough to know that Hollywood liberals and LGBT militants will pounce on any statement  he makes critical of homosexual behavor, which God through the Bible condemns. (By the way, I think Kirk would have been better off just saying &#8220;yes&#8221; to Morgan&#8217;s question about whether he believes homosexuality is a sin.)</p>
<p>On his <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kirk-Cameron/40667713734" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, Cameron writes, in part:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>[In the CNN interview] I expressed the same views that are expressed clearly and emphatically throughout the Judeo-Christian scriptures. As a Bible believing Christian, I could not have answered any other way&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I also believe that freedom of speech and freedom of religion go hand-in-hand in America. I should be able to express moral views on social issues&#8211;especially those that have been the underpinning of Western civilization for 2,000 years&#8211;without being slandered, accused of hate speech, and told from those who preach &#8220;tolerance&#8221; that I need to either bend my beliefs to their moral standards or be silent when I’m in the public square.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I hope more than a few people could see the large volume of secularist morality being imposed on me&#8230;.</strong></p></blockquote>
</div>
<p><span id="more-11037"></span>GLAAD is awarded unprecedented access and sway in Hollywood (and the media) to advocate for, essentially, one side of a controversial moral issue. Here it stokes anti-Christian bigotry against Cameron, as it does against anyone who voices politically incorrect beliefs about homosexuality through the media. Ultimately, GLAAD (while curiously extolling &#8220;diversity&#8221;) hopes to keep interviews like <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/03/05/kirk-cameron-tells-cnns-piers-morgan-that-homosexuality-is-unnatural/" target="_blank">Morgan&#8217;s with Cameron</a> out of the media altogether. (Otherwise, why would they previously have <a href="http://www.change.org/petitions/hold-cnn-accountable-for-its-segment-featuring-so-called-ex-gay-activist-richard-cohen" target="_blank">lobbied so hard against CNN</a> for including Christian former homosexual <strong>Richard Cohen</strong> in a debate segment?) GLAAD is afraid of a fair debate, hence their demonizing name-calling against Cameron. Please help encourage him. &#8212; <strong>Peter LaBarbera, <a href="http://www.aftah.org">www.aftah.org</a></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">TAKE ACTION:</span> Support, encourage, and pray for Kirk Cameron [reach him through his Facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Kirk-Cameron/40667713734" target="_blank">HERE</a>]. In a time when so many cultural and political leaders have capitulated on the issue of homosexuality, Cameron defended Christian teaching, knowing he&#8217;d get pummelled for it by the Gay Thought Police. He can be reached through his <a href="http://kirkcameron.com/#/contact-bio" target="_blank">web page</a> or through:</strong></p>

<blockquote><p>On Monday, the <strong>New Jersey </strong>Senate voted 24-16 to corrupt the definition of marriage to include homosexual couples. Many called it a civil right. Homosexuality is NOT a civil right. It simply does not measure up to the criteria of a civil right.</p>
<p>Thursday (today) the Democrat-controlled New Jersey Assembly (lower Chamber) voted. There was a slim chance that it would not get the required 41 votes for passage. [But the <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/nationnow/2012/02/gay-marriage-new-jersey-assembly-approves-measure.html" target="_blank">"same-sex marriage" bill passed</a> the  by a vote of 42-33; New Jersey governor <strong>Chris Christie </strong>has vowed to veto the bill.]</p>
<p>Please pray for us and that the elected officials nationwide will do the right thing. And that the Lord God will accomplish His will any way He sees fit. May HE have mercy on this state, and this nation, which seems to have forgotten Him.</p>
<p>Please pray for the other states facing the lie of homosexual &#8220;marriage.&#8221; A bill has just been introduced in <strong>Illinois</strong> to legalize counterfeit &#8220;gay marriage.&#8217; It is mischievously titled the <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/02/15/homosexual-protesters-slam-cardinal-george-as-archbigot-at-sunday-morning-church-protest/" target="_blank">&#8220;Religious Freedom and Marriage Fairness Act.&#8221;</a> <strong>Maryland</strong> is under a more imminent threat of homosexual &#8220;marriage&#8221; as well as a bill that would enable transsexual, cross-dressing men to use the restrooms of women and young girls. INSANITY.</p>
<p><span id="more-10899"></span>In <strong>Washington State</strong>, legislators passed homosexual &#8220;marriage&#8221; and imposed it upon their citizens, with the help of the state&#8217;s governor, <strong>Christine Gregoire</strong>, a new &#8220;gay marriage convert who <a href="http://kuow.org/northwestnews.php?storyID=146838058" target="_blank">ignored the dictates of her own Catholic religion</a> to usher in this radical redefinition of an ancient institution. However, the people<var></var> of Washington State are now working to get the issue on the ballot so that citizens decide whether to reverse the homosexual &#8220;marriage&#8221; law.</p>
<p><strong>New Hampshire</strong> is in a similar situation to Washington State (conterfeit &#8220;gay marriage&#8221; has been legal since 2009; see this <a href="http://www.concordmonitor.com/article/308077/marriage-repeal-bill-no-sure-bet?CSAuthResp=1329499213%3Alsimn4t96ah6mpusmkhkjfofn6%3ACSUserId%7CCSGroupId%3Aapproved%3AC0C93272F7EBE4DD87F7DE86E9629A44&amp;CSUserId=94&amp;CSGroupId=1" target="_blank">Concord Monitor article</a> on the GOP-led effort  to repeal homosexual &#8220;marriage&#8221;). <strong>Minnesota</strong> voters will be able to vote on a statewide referendum this November to amend their state constitutions to preserve man-woman marriage, while <strong>North Carolina </strong>has a pro-traditional marriage amendmet vote in early May.</p>
<p><strong>Iowans </strong>fired three of the judges that imposed homosexual &#8220;marriage&#8221; on them at the ballot box. They are now trying to reverse their dictatorial decision by putting it on the ballot.</p>
<p>California&#8217;s marriage battle will likely go to the U.S. Supreme Court, where <strong>Barack Obama</strong> appointed potential lesbian <strong>Elena Kagan</strong> and ultra liberal <strong>Sonia Sotomayer</strong> &#8211; who will both likely will decide against natural, God-ordained marriage.</p>
<p>The assault on natural marriage and rebellion against God is so vicious now that we need prayer for these individual states and our nation.</p>
<p>God save us from ourselves.</p></blockquote>

</dl>
<p>This is the fifth and final part of our interview with <strong><a href="http://www.plwooden.org" target="_blank">Patrick Wooden</a></strong> [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/02/2-11-12-Patrick-Wooden-Part-Five.mp3">HERE to listen</a>], pastor of <strong>Upper Room Church of God in Christ</strong>, in Raleigh, NC. This was pre-recorded and aired Feb. 11, 2012. Wooden criticizes Rev. Al Sharpton for endorsing same-sex &#8220;marriage&#8221; [Sharpton's pro-homosexual-"marriage" statement for the "gay" lobby group <a href="http://www.hrc.org/americansformarriageequality#.TzlP87Egd1U" target="_blank">Human Rights Campaign</a> is played on air]. &#8220;Al disagrees with the God of the Bible,&#8221; says Wooden. He also chides <strong>NAACP President Ben Jealous</strong> for <a href="http://thetaskforceblog.org/2012/01/27/naacp-president-ben-jealous-opening-keynote-address-at-creating-change/" target="_blank">speaking at the annual conference</a> of the <strong><a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/02/09/you-wont-believe-chilis-radical-gay-task-force-agenda/" target="_blank">National Gay and Lesbian Task Force</a></strong> (NGLTF)&#8211; a leftist organization that supports &#8220;polyamory,&#8221; sadomasochism, radical transgenderism, and other assorted perversions. Moreover, Wooden says <strong>Rev. William Barber</strong>, President of <a href="http://www.naacpnc.org/" target="_blank">NAACP-North Carolina</a>, is wrong for pledging to fight against North Carolina&#8217;s pro-traditional-marriage constitutional amendment, to be voted on in May. (Jealous recalls how Barber told him to &#8221;make sure that that [NGLTF] crowd knows that we are doing everything we can to stop that silly amendment from becoming law.&#8221;)</p>
<p>After AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong> notes that President <strong>Barack Obama</strong> is the most pro-homosexuality president in American history, Wooden says that demonstrates that Obama &#8220;is not a Christian,&#8221; despite his public profession. In an interesting section toward the end of the interview, Wooden explains why African Americans are perhaps more opposed to homosexual perversion than whites. He also recalls how <strong>Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.</strong> thought of homosexual attraction not as an innocuous, &#8221;innate tendency,&#8221; but as a culturally-acquired, unnatural problem that can and should be resolved.</p>

<p><strong>WARNING: Graphic descriptions</strong></p>
<p>This is Part Four of our interview with <strong><a href="http://www.plwooden.org" target="_blank">Patrick Wooden</a> [Click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/02/2-4-12-Patrick-Wooden-with-D.L.-Foster-Part-Four.mp3">HERE to listen</a>]</strong>, pastor of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ, based in Raleigh, North Carolina. This was pre-recorded and aired February 4, 2012. Wooden and AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong> are joined in this discussion by <strong>DL Foster</strong>, founder of <a href="http://www.gcmwatch.com" target="_blank">Gay Christian Movement Watch</a>, based in Atlanta. Homosexual activists have sought to make fun of Wooden for describing in these AFTAH interviews) the body-destroying perversions associated with male homosexuality. But LaBarbera, noting that the Homosexual Lobby a &#8220;sin movement,&#8221; says one would expect it to yield heinous perversions like &#8220;<a href="http://www.massresistance.org/docs/issues/fistgate/index.html" target="_blank">fisting</a>,&#8221; <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rimming" target="_blank">rimming</a> and &#8220;water sports&#8221; (&#8220;gay&#8221; slang for men urinating on and in one another for sexual pleasure).</p>
<p>Foster says that the portrayal of himself, Wooden and other Black leaders who participated in AFTAH&#8217;s Jan. 17 press conference [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/23/splc-press-conference-audio-montgomery-al-january-17-2012/" target="_blank">HERE for audio</a>] outside the <strong>Southern Poverty Law Center</strong> headquarters as somehow being controlled by &#8220;white organizers&#8221; &#8220;highlights the high level of racist arrogance inside the homosexual movement&#8221; &#8211; which he said he experienced when he was active as a homosexual. &#8220;The white gay movement needs to deal with its own latent racism,&#8221; he said.  Wooden said he&#8217;s never been called &#8220;Nigger&#8221; so much (by white &#8220;gay&#8221; activists) than since his interviews with AFTAH went public.</p>
<p>Foster and LaBarbera talk about the case of <strong><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Jesse_Dirkhising" target="_blank">Jesse Dirkhising</a></strong>, a 13-year-old Arkansas boy who was raped and grotesquely sodomized in 1999 by two older homosexual men who left him for dead after drugging, gagging and penetrating him with foreign objects including a cucumber.</p>

<dd class="wp-caption-dd">Jesse Dirkhising</dd>

<p>LaBarbera notes how the twisted SM practices that so cruelly killed young Jesse &#8220;didn&#8217;t come out of nowhere&#8221; but were described (non-judgmentally) in pro-homosexual sadomasochistic publications. Foster notes that compared to the celebrated case of <strong>Matthew Shepard</strong> &#8211; a young homosexual man murdered in Wyoming &#8212; the Dirkhising case received very little secular media coverage because unlike Shepard, &#8220;Jesse Dirkhising didn&#8217;t fit the bill&#8221; as the type of victim that would advance the pro-homosexual cause.</p>

<p><strong>Peter LaBarbera</strong>, president of <strong>Americans For Truth</strong>, which is sponsoring the press event, recently <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/16/aftah-interviews-dr-patrick-wooden-part-one/"><span style="color: #0000ff;">interviewed Pastor Wooden</span></a>, who said that the SPLC’s gambit of labeling mainstream pro-family groups that oppose homosexual activism as “hate groups” is seriously damaging the SPLC’s credibility. Wooden also debunked the “civil rights” analogy used by “gay” activists, saying it is wrong to compare “my beautiful blackness” with homosexual perversion.</p>
<p>LaBarbera said the SPLC is engaged in a thinly-veiled, one-sided campaign to demonize adherents of traditional Judeo-Christian morality. He noted that despite the considerable hatred and anti-Christian bigotry emanating from homosexual activists (e.g., <strong>Dan Savage’s</strong> vile hate-site, <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2012/01/05/labarbera-asks-homosexual-activist-dan-savage-to-take-down-cyber-bullying-site-santorum-com/">Santorum[dot]com</a>), the SPLC has never labeled a “gay” organization or website as “hateful.”<strong></strong></p>

<p>This is Part One of my interview [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2012/01/1-14-12-Patrick-Wooden-Part-One.mp3" target="_blank">HERE</a> to listen] with <strong><a href="http://plwooden.org/" target="_blank">Dr. Patrick Wooden</a></strong>, pastor at <a href="http://upperroomgospel.org/" target="_blank">Upper Room Church of God in Christ</a>, in Raleigh, NC. This interview was pre-recorded and aired January 14, 2012. Pastor Wooden will be leading a contingent of African American pastors at an AFTAH-sponsored press conference Tuesday, Jan. 17 outside of the headquarters of the <strong>Southern Poverty Law Center</strong> in Montgomery, AL. The SPLC infamously labeled Americans For Truth and several other Christian pro-family groups as &#8220;hate groups&#8221; due to their strong opposition to the homosexual activist lobby. (Other groups smeared by the SPLC include <a href="http://www.frc.org" target="_blank">Family Research Council</a>, <a href="http://www.afa.net" target="_blank">American Family Association</a> and <strong>Scott Lively&#8217;s</strong> <a href="http://www.abidingtruth.com" target="_blank">Abiding Truth Ministries</a>.)</p>
<p>Wooden is a leader in the effort to preserve the definition of marriage <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/14/us/north-carolina-voters-to-decide-on-same-sex-marriage.html?_r=1" target="_blank">constitutionally in North Carolina</a> as one man, one woman &#8212; and he is regularly tarred as a <a href="http://www.pamspaulding.com/weblog/2004/12/local-bigot-pastor-spends-7600-on.html" target="_blank">&#8220;bigot&#8221;</a> and &#8220;homophobe&#8221; by homosexual activists in his state. Here he debunks the LGBT analogy of &#8220;gay rights&#8221; to Black civil rights &#8212; affirming that there is no connection between &#8220;my beautiful blackness&#8221; and deviant sexual behavior condemned by God. (Last year, Wooden interviewed me at his church in Raleigh; go <a href="http://www.plwooden.org" target="_blank">HERE</a> and click link for the video, &#8220;Fighting Homosexuality in America.&#8221;) &#8211; <strong>Peter LaBarbera, <a href="http://www.aftah.org">www.aftah.org</a></strong></p>

<p>Maybe the &#8220;T&#8221; in the homosexuals&#8217; and transgenders&#8217; LGBT formula also stands for &#8220;Terrorize&#8221; &#8212; because that&#8217;s how at least a portion of America&#8217;s radical pro-homosexual activists treat their public opponents.  (See story on the recent paver brick attack against AFTAH&#8217;s banquet host Christian Liberty Academy HERE.) This interview &#8211; Part One of a two-part interview with <strong>Paul Blair</strong>, pastor of Fairview Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, and <strong>Matt Barber</strong>, Director of Cultural Affairs at <a href="http://www.lc.org" target="_blank">Liberty Counsel</a> &#8211; aired Dec. 10, 2011. Blair recently was on the receiving end of some scary death threats and vile hate calls targeting his wife &#8211; which were phoned in to his church right after he&#8217;d testified against a pro-homosexual &#8220;Sexual Orientation&#8221; ordinance in Oklahoma City. Here he tells the story which &#8212; unlike the pro-&#8221;gay&#8221; attack in liberal Chicago &#8212; rec.eived some major TV news coverage in OK City. (You can listen to a few of the actual recorded threats <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/12/06/listen-charges-filed-as-oklahoma-city-pastor-paul-blair-gets-death-threats-after-opposing-pro-homosexual-ordinance/" target="_blank">HERE</a>.) Barber discusses the pattern of homosexual activist aggression that aims to intimidate Christians and others into silence on this critical moral issue. Blair, a former lineman with the Chicago Bears, is also Chairman of Reclaiming America for Christ. &#8212; Peter LaBarbera, <a href="http://www.aftah.org">www.aftah.org</a></p>

<p>Part Five of the AFTAH interview [click <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/uploads/2011/12/12-3-11-Scott-Lively-Part-Five.mp3" target="_blank">HERE to listen</a>] with <strong>Scott Lively</strong> of <a href="http://www.defendthefamily.com" target="_blank">Defending the Family International</a>.  This was pre-recorded and aired Dec. 3, 2011. Go to the <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/americans-for-truth-hour/" target="_blank">AFTAH Radio Hour Archive</a> for the rest of this very informative interview. In the course of AFTAH President <strong>Peter LaBarbera&#8217;s</strong> interview with Lively, the two discussed:</p>
<ul>
<li>The dire state of the American Christian Church vis-a-vis the aggressive movement to normalize homosexual behavior and gender confusion in the culture;</li>
<li>The &#8220;terror&#8221; tactics and aggressive campaigns used by homosexual activists to intimidate good people into silence on this issue;</li>
<li>Lively&#8217;s personal experience with the dirty tactics and lies used by radical LGBT activists against pro-family leaders attempting to stop the &#8220;gay&#8221; revolution (including one notorious fake &#8220;anti-gay hate crime&#8221; in Oregon). Lively more than almost any pro-family conservative alive today has experienced these tactics firsthand in more than 20 years of working on the front lines (here and abroad) against the homosexualist agenda;</li>
<li>The futility of relying on politics and the courts to contain the advance of government-backed homosexuality &#8212; and how many &#8220;ministry-minded&#8221; or apathetic believers are woefully naive about the Culture War raging on this issue;</li>
<li>The campaign of lies used by pro-homosexual militants (and repeated by the media) to smear Lively and others as allegedly supporting the murder of homosexuals in Uganda;</li>
<li>The corruption of words by the pro-homosexual Left, including &#8220;gay,&#8221; &#8220;sexual orientation&#8221; and &#8220;marriage equality&#8221;;</li>
<li>The appearance of PRO-homosexuality &#8220;evangelicals&#8221; like Grove City College&#8217;s <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2011/11/01/labarbera-asks-grove-city-college-professor-warren-throckmorton-to-apologize-for-pro-homosexual-advocacy/" target="_blank">Warren Throckmorton</a> and Chicago&#8217;s <a href="http://americansfortruth.com/2010/09/05/prof-rob-gagnon-takes-andrew-marin-to-school-on-the-bible-and-homosexuality/" target="_blank">Andrew Marin</a> &#8211; who confuse Christians and undermine biblical truth on the issue by capitulating to pro-&#8221;gay&#8221; ideology and semantics;</li>
<li>The connection of homosexuality and sexual deviance to the Nazi Party in Germany. (See Lively&#8217;s book, <em><a href="http://www.defendthefamily.com/pfrc/books/pinkswastika/html/the_pinkswastika_4th_edition_-_final.htm" target="_blank">The Pink Swastika</a></em>);</li>
<li>The very real threat to religious liberty posed by the tremendous rise of homosexual (&#8220;gay&#8221;) power in the United States.</li>
