The Gay Purge MUST Stop

Today, I can across an e-mail sent by the so-called American Family Association, you know, the group that fights to protect families, so long as they are white, middle/upper-class, married, male, female, two children, two cars, living in a house families.

The e-mail was sent to oppose to upcoming gay rights fight that is looming on Capitol Hill. Specifically against the Employment Non-Discrimination Act and hate crimes legislation. This appeared in the e-mail:

"Employers will be forced to hire homosexuals."
"Landlords will be forced to rent to homosexuals."

It is sick and disgusting that we still live in a country where ANYONE would think this is OK. If somebody said "Employers should not be forced to hire African-Americans or women" we'd be disgusted, why is this any different.

The AFA and other social conservatives are looking to purge America of homosexuals, it's that simple. They are out to persecute LGBT Americans. Just last week in Detroit, a very BLUE city, a 72 year old man was beaten to death after being asked if he was gay. (He was.) I fear what would happen if people like the man who beat this guy to death, were elected to office.

It is not the anti-gay lobby like the American Family Association that causes people like this to exist, but they encourage bigotry, homophobia and hatred toward LGBT Americans by supporting the idea of stripping rights from them. They make it OK to hate LGBT Americans. They call themselves Children of God, but God teaches love and these people hate more than they love.

And if supporting the ENDA or the hate-crimes legislation means that I will "force" landlords to rent to homosexuals and "force" employers to hire them, then I am firmly behind it, and all of you who believe that prejudice against LGBT Americans is perfectly justifiable should be ashamed of yourselves. You are NO different that the racists who hosed down African-Americans in the South in the 1960's, no different that men in fundamentalist Islamic countries who oppress women. You are just as bad.

And that's my opinion...a harsh one, but I am not apologetic over it.
