Help Support AFTAH’s Mission of Telling the Truth about the Homosexuality LobbyNovember 14th, 2007
A Special Appeal from Americans For Truth President Peter LaBarbera: Dear Readers, I’m writing today to ask you to help support Americans For Truth today with a gift of $100 or more, or whatever you can afford. If you believe in the critical, “front lines” work we are doing, please make a tax-deductible donation using your VISA or MasterCard HERE, or a donation using PayPal (which accepts American Express and Discover) HERE.
Americans For Truth’s mission is simple: we tell the truth about the “GLBT” (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) movement, without apology and without the guilt and defensiveness that plague even many Christians these days. The media’s non-stop, pro-homosexual propaganda has worn good people down: at a time when homosexual activists have reached the zenith of their power — and are on the verge of passing legislation that would effectively criminalize Judeo-Christian morality — some are complaining that the pro-family movement is focusing “too much” on homosexuality.
The tragic reality is that the resources spent promoting homosexuality in these United States of America massively dwarf those spent opposing it. This truly is a David-against-Goliath struggle — since most large pro-family groups spend only a fraction of their budgets fighting the homosexual lobby (because they’re also fighting abortion, embryonic stem cell research, pornography, and many other necessary battles). AFTAH, in contrast, is solely focused on the battle against homosexual activism. Consider the following single-issue homosexual and transgender groups, which focus like a laser beam on promoting wrong and destructive lifestyles, and undermining Biblical truth:
This is not close to being a comprehensive list! And it doesn’t include the smaller groups and homosexual bloggers like Wayne Besen — who with his comically-named “Truth Wins Out” is particularly hateful in attacking me and Americans For Truth. Besen came up with the smear tag “Porno Pete,” as if I’m the pornographer for exposing homosexual promiscuity and heinous perversions like the recent sadistic San Francisco “Folsom Street Fair”, and last week’s “International Mr. Rubber” event in Chicago (done in partnership with the city’s homosexual “Center on Halsted”). Americans For Truth will never be intimidated or back down in the face of such attacks. Our opponents know this and hate us for it. Here’s the reality of the homosexual activism we face:
Folks, we cannot retreat in the face of such evil. If America surrenders in the ongoing “Culture War” over homosexuality and gender confusion, we will suffer the fate of Canada and Great Britain and other countries, where the “freedom to be moral” — that is, to follow God and His teachings in the Bible — becomes illegal and the government becomes a tool to promote homosexuality, even to young children. As a great abolitionist once said, eternal vigilance is the price of liberty: each of us has a stake in defending truth and preserving our freedoms.
Will you help keep Americans for Truth in the battle for truth and God’s morality by giving a tax-deductible donation of $100 or more? We need 100 supporters to give $100 towards our goal of raising $150,000 by year’s end. AFTAH is on the front lines in the struggle for the soul of this great nation that God has so richly blessed, even as we as a people stray from Him.

Coach Daubenmire: ‘I’m Homo-Nauseous’November 13th, 2007If you have a beef with this, take it up with the Coach: coach@ptsalt.com. I think he speaks for many millions of people across the country who are sick and tired of in-your-face homosexual activism and, now, its “transgender” cousin.– Peter LaBarbera By Coach Dave Daubenmire, Pass the Salt Ministries, 11/08/2007 Warning: Commentary is not politically correct I’m sick of it. I really am. I’m not homo-phobic. I’m not homo-hateful. I’m not homo-latent. I’m homo-nauseous. I really couldn’t care less where a man desires to put his appendage. But I’m sick of hearing about it. I’m sick of talking about it. I’m sick of it being force fed to me on TV. In all of my life I have never seen such deviancy so openly celebrated. They are deviant, you know? No matter how many names they will try and call me, no matter how many “sensitivity” classes they try and send me to, no matter how much tolerance they try and cram down my throat (sorry), the fact remains homosexuals are deviant.

By Peter LaBarbera When did Chicago become a worldwide Mecca for perversion enthusiasts? Every year it hosts “International Mr. Leather” with its accompany “pig sex” parties (somebody call the Swine Defamation League). The Windy City is home to a “museum” for sadistic sex practitioners called the “Leather Archives & Museum” — no joke; here’s the link to this tax-exempt, non-profit institution. And now, Sodom-by-the-Lake welcomes International Mr. Rubber, an international contest for, well, rubber fetishists. Don’t ask. The picture above from their website should tell you all you need to know. Partnering with the rubber enthusiasts was the Center on Halsted, a brand new “GLBT” community center in Chicago’s homosexual Boystown neighborhood (which is officially demarcated with rainbow kiosks). Center on Halsted’s construction was financed with the help of Illinois taxpayers through a $10 million “link deposit” by the Treasurer’s office — then run by a Republican, Judy Baar Topinka — that helped them get access to low interest-rate loans. The same Center on Halsted runs programs for homosexual, bisexual and transgendered teenagers. Leather Archives also partners with Center on Halsted. Is “rubber” just another “sexual orientation” or a perversion that is so twisted that most normal people could not even conceive of it? Either way, the rubber “fetishists” apparently were out in force in Chicago area over the weekend, doing whatever rubber fetishists do. (Oh, I almost forgot: exposing this bizarre event makes me a closet “rubber-man” myself, according to the thinking of some “queer”-identified bloggers who keep a close watch on Americans For Truth. I do confess to enjoying Jacques Cousteau TV specials as a boy.) Read the rest of this article » Morella on ENDA: ‘Rational Societies Discriminate between Right and Wrong’November 12th, 2007Gary Morella sent the following letter to President Bush: November 8, 2007 Dear Mr. President: ENDA [Employment Nondiscrimination Act, H.R. 3685] is horrendous legislation that must be vetoed for the sake of the common good. It was put forth for one reason, and one reason only, i.e., the advocacy of a social engineering agenda under force of law by a radical fringe who demand that society make them comfortable with their vices, which is counter to the aforementioned common good, as classically understood from the time of Aristotle’s Politics. Any exemptions are illusions, as verified by what has been going on in Canada and Europe, especially the UK, when irrational legislation is made law. All one has to do is query those who were visited by the police for standing up for faith and right reason, which are married, not divorced! Society is not obliged to codify law that makes aberrant behavior a civil right, which is insanity, and ultimately leads to anarchy! Moreover, we are talking proven changeable, aberrant behavior that is physically, psychologically, socially, and economically ruinous, not to mention the coercion of people of faith by its advocates, which is pure and simply, UN-AMERICAN, making a mockery of the sacrifices of all those who fought and died for our country in its history. Rational societies are obliged to discriminate between right and wrong behavior; else, they cease being rational! If responsible parents can understand this, why can’t responsible states? Accordingly, there is no choice here, Mr. President, for the sake of a world fit to live in for our children and grandchildren. Please VETO ENDA for the common good which should be the primary goal of the state! Sincerely, Matt Barber, Keith Boykin Debate ENDA on CNNNovember 10th, 2007The great irony here is that Barber himself was fired by Allstate for criticizing homosexuality (of course, Allstate denied that was the reason for terminating him), but he cannot discuss the case because his settlement with the insurance giant includes a confidentiality clause. This debate occurred before the House vote passing ENDA. C-FAM: Radical Homosexual Campaign Launched by UN OfficialsNovember 9th, 2007Urgent report from C-FAM, the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute: November 8, 2007 (NEW YORK — C-FAM) At a meeting at UN headquarters this week, a coalition of NGOs and the governments of Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay hosted the New York launch of a document which seeks to advance homosexual rights at the national and international levels. Boris Dittrich, advocacy director for the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender program at Human Rights Watch and moderator of the event stated that this document was the “Magna Carta for human rights in the areas of sexual orientation and gender identity.” Called the Yogyakarta Principles, the document lists human rights that already exist in binding international law such as the right to life and freedom from torture, and reinterprets each one to include homosexual rights. Based on the tenet of non-discrimination, the Principles assert that nations are legally bound to change their constitutions and penal codes to incorporate homosexual rights, including rights to same-sex unions and gay adoption. According to the Principles, “Sexual orientation is understood to refer to each person’s capacity for profound emotional, affectional [sic] and sexual attraction to, and intimate and sexual relations with, individuals of a different gender or the same gender or more than one gender.” The document states that “gender identity is understood to refer to each person’s deeply felt internal and individual experience of gender, which may or may not correspond with the sex assigned at birth.” Read the rest of this article » CWA: First Amendment Trampled With ENDA PassageNovember 8th, 2007CWA Release, November 8, 2007 [Call your senators at 202-224-3121 or go to www.congress.org; call President Bush and urge him to veto ENDA if it passes at 202-456-1414 or 202-456-1111, or www.whitehouse.gov/contact.] Washington, D.C. — On Wednesday, lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives passed — largely along party lines — H.R. 3685, the so-called Employment Non-discrimination Act (ENDA), by a vote of 235–184. [Click HERE for the Roll Call and HERE to see which Congressmen voted against their party’s majority.] Matt Barber, CWA’s Policy Director for Cultural Issues, said, “By passing this Orwellian piece of legislation, the Democrat-controlled House has displayed exceptional arrogance. Congress apparently believes it has carte blanche authority to nullify any constitutional provision which it finds bothersome. In this case, they’ve drawn a black line through the free exercise clause of the First Amendment.” ENDA contains an extremely weak religious exemption which might partially protect some religious organizations but would leave many others — such as Bible bookstores and many Christian schools — entirely unprotected. It would additionally crush individual business owners’ guaranteed First Amendment rights. Read the rest of this article » Rep. Roy Blunt: Democratic Majority’s ENDA Bill Takes Dead Aim at Religious FreedomNovember 8th, 2007
Majority’s ENDA Bill Takes Dead Aim at Religious Freedom Legislation creates conflict between one’s right to religious freedom, and another’s right to sue you for exercising it WASHINGTON – House Republican Whip Roy Blunt (Mo.) issued the following statement today after Democrats failed to secure a veto-proof majority on the so-called Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a bill that would erode one’s right to religious freedom by strengthening another’s right to sue you for practicing it: “The structure of the bill before us today is eerily similar to legislation we’ve seen from this majority all year: a favorable, purposefully misleading title applied to a bill that’s poorly assembled and oblivious to its own consequences. “In this case, the so-called ‘Employment Non-Discrimination Act’ creates a legal quagmire for employees who practice, or even acknowledge, their religious beliefs – depending on where they happen to work, and subject to judicial interpretation. In the process, it erodes a basic, fundamental right bestowed upon us by our Creator – and a right guaranteed to every American under the U.S. Constitution. “As a former president of a Baptist college in Missouri, supporters of this bill have been quick to assure me that its most onerous provisions would not apply to that school. But no such exemption is available for Christian bookstore owners, as an example, or any other small business in which people of faith and deep religious conviction are relied upon as an integral part of the workforce. “Thankfully, Republicans secured the votes necessary this afternoon to uphold a presidential veto. It’s my hope now that this Congress can move forward on the real priorities affecting American families. Though a clear boon to trial lawyers, this bill does not meet that standard.” NOTE: Rep. Blunt penned a column on the majority’s ENDA legislation this week for Human Events, available HERE. His speech on the floor of the House can be viewed on YouTube by clicking HERE. |
