Anti-gay Bigot Billy Graham Is Dead But His Legacy Of Hate Lingers On
From Pink News:
Anti-gay evangelical Billy Graham has died, aged 99.
Graham was one of the most well-known and powerful US Christian evangelists, fuelling the rise of the evangelical movement.
The preacher, who met with 12 US Presidents spanning 60 years, preached that homosexuality is “detestable” and “a sinister form of perversion” contributing to the decay of civilization – and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association continues to advocate gay ‘cure’ therapy on its website.
He was clear in denouncing gay people throughout the equal rights movement, telling his followers: “Let me say this loud and clear, we traffic in homosexuality at the peril of our spiritual welfare.”
Graham, who claimed in 1993 that AIDS was a “judgement from God”, also used his large political influence to push anti-gay laws – throwing his support behind a 2012 attempt in North Carolina to amend the constitution to define marriage as “between one man and one woman”.
He wrote at the time: “At 93, I never thought we would have to debate the definition of marriage. The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.”
The preacher’s son Franklin Graham, who previously took over as head of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Christian charity Samaritan’s Purse, is an outspoken anti-LGBT activist.
Franklin Graham previously claimed there had been a “moral 9/11” in America due to “gays and lesbians”.
Graham Jr had claimed: “The country is imploding. We are seeing a moral implosion. Just like we saw the World Trade Center on 9/11 when the planes hit the tower, they imploded, they fell from within, and this is what’s happening to our country, we’re falling within.
“So many school districts now are controlled by wicked, evil people, and the gays and lesbians… I keep bringing their name up, but they are at the forefront of this attack against Christianity in America.”
In a 2015 interview with a Russian newspaper, Franklin Graham praised Vladimir Putin’s support for anti-gay laws – and claimed that homosexuals “take people’s children”.
Parroting disturbing rhetoric often used by anti-LGBT vigilantes in Russia, the late preacher’s son said: “Homosexuality and same-sex marriage — those are sins against God, and the president [Barack Obama] is promoting them.
“Homosexuals cannot have children, they can take other people’s children.”
He added: “I very much appreciate that President Putin is protecting Russian young people against homosexual propaganda. If only to give them the opportunity to grow up and make a decision for themselves.”
Franklin Graham recently declared gay people are ‘the enemy’, attacking churches that have become LGBT-inclusive. And he accused LGBT activists of “trying to cram down America’s throat the lie that homosexuality is okay”, alleging that anti-discrimination laws will mean that “your children, and your grandchildren will be at risk to sexual predators and perverts”.
Billy Graham’s daughter Anne Graham Lotz, meanwhile, has suggested that God let 9/11 happen because he’s too upset about transgender people.
She said: “There is silliness, there is craziness, there’s the most illogical rulings. The one in North Carolina on HB2, which is to protect our children in bathrooms and locker rooms, has become something where the justice department is suing us for something that’s just common sense.
“What happens then is God abandons us and backs away, he he takes his favour and blessing away from us.
“[If we repent] I think he would begin to reveal the plots of terrorists before they are carried out, even the weather patterns he can control and protect us from violent storms.
“I think that’s why God allows bad things to happen. I think that’d why he would allow 9/11 to happen, or the dreadful attack in San Bernardino. To show us we need him.”

Mississippi Town Refuses Permit For Pride Parade
The Mississippi city of Starkville on
Tuesday voted to deny a permit for an LGBT Pride parade and related
events.
Aldermen voted 4-3 to deny the event
permit, the Starkville
Daily News reported.
Starkville Pride, an LGBT support
group, had sought the permit. Organizers said that they wanted to
hold a parade to show the strength of the city's LGBT community.
Sixteen people spoke to aldermen in
favor of the event, while two spoke against it, the AP reported.
The denial left some members of the
group in tears. None of the four aldermen who voted against the
event gave an explanation.
Bailey McDaniel, one of the organizers,
said Wednesday that Roberta Kaplan has agreed to represent the group
in a possible lawsuit. Kaplan represented Edie Windsor before the
Supreme Court in her challenge to the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA),
which prohibited federal agencies from recognizing the legal
marriages of same-sex couples. She also represented plaintiffs who
challenged Mississippi's ban on same-sex marriage.
“The parade is integral because it
shows the community that we're here, we're not going anywhere, you
see us in everyday life,” said McDaniel, a student at Mississippi
State University in Starkville.
Mayor Lynn Spruill called the outcome
disappointing.
“I think it creates a view of the
city of Starkville as noninclusive, and I happen to think we are an
inclusive community,” Spruill said of the decision. “We value
diversity.”

"Looking" Star Russell Stovey To Wed
British actor Russell Tovey is engaged to rugby player and fitness trainer Steve Brockman.
The Sun revealed that Tovey, 36, and Brockman shared the news with friends and family.
The couple began getting serious last year when Brockman moved to New York with Tovey when his play, Angels in America, went to Broadway.
Around that time, Tovey also said he was ‘totally’ down to get married when the time is right. And that time seems to be now.
Steve Brockman it seems, also dabbled into porn a few years back for Randy Blue as bisexual porn actor Ryan Stack.
It's Not About Cake Stupid
Georgia lawmakers are working on a bill that discriminates against gay couples wanting to adopt.
Republican Senator William Ligon introduced Senate Bill 375 aka Keep Faith in Adoption and Foster Care Act earlier this month.
The bill allows adoption agencies to deny placing children with same-sex couples based on their religious beliefs. It also prevent the state’s Department of Human Services from taking ‘adverse actions’ against agencies if they do this.
On Tuesday (20 February) morning, the Georgia Senate Judiciary Committee passed the bill.
Ligon argued the bill allows for more adoption opportunities.
Democratic Senator Elena Parent disagreed: ‘It seems like the bill is dealing with problems that do not exist, although it might make people feel better.’
She added religious adoption agencies in Georgia already have the right to refuse same-sex couples.
‘The legislation puts the religious beliefs of those who serve kids above the kids themselves, and that’s why I have a particular problem with this.’
Parent and fellow Democratic Senator Harold V. Jones were the only ‘no’ votes.
The bill now heads to the full Senate for a vote.
Equality Georgia called the bill a ‘license to discriminate’.
Executive Director Jeff Graham added there are ‘no winners’.
He continued: ‘This bill does not help the thousands of young people in our state’s adoption and foster care system. It does not help loving parents who are looking to open their homes to children in need, either through fostering or adoption.
‘There are only losers with this bill: children denied permanent and loving homes, and potential parents coldly turned away simply because of who they are.’
State businesses are also speaking out against the bill.
Cindy Armine-Klein, CCO of Atlanta’s First Data, released a statement saying the company is ‘strongly opposed’ to the bill because it ‘perpetuates discrimination against the LGBT community’.
This bill is the latest assault against the LGBT community in the United States that’s rooted in religion.
This is what's tops on the GOP's political agenda... the right to discriminate.
It's not about wedding cakes or floral arrangement's, it's about legalizing discrimination under the guise of state sanctioned religious persecution.
They aren't just voicing a opinion or agreeing to disagree, they are actively seeking to legislate the denial of rights based solely on a religious belief, forcing their opinion into very real laws.
In the end, who really suffers most from this?

White Supremacist Politicians In South Carolina Want To Redefine Marriage
A bill sponsored by six South Carolina Republican lawmakers wants to redefine same-sex marriage.
Entitled the ‘Marriage and Constitution Restoration Act’, it seeks to amend South Carolina laws to include new definitions around marriage.
In short, it will ‘define certain terms, including “parody marriage” and “marriage”; to provide that parody marriage policies are nonsecular in nature; to prohibit the state from respecting, endorsing, or recognizing any parody marriage policy or policies that treat sexual orientation as a suspect class; and for other purposes.’
Basically, as same-sex marriage is now the law of the land, it wants to create a two-tier system for marriage.
The representatives sponsoring the bill are: Steven Wayne Long, William M ‘Bill’ Chumley, James Mikell ’Mike’ Burns, John R McCravy III, Josiah Magnuson and Richard ‘Rick’ Martin.
The bill was read for the first time and referred to Committee on Judiciary on 15 February.
The bill notes: ‘civilizations for millennia have defined marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
‘Marriage between and man and a woman arose out of the nature of things and marriage between a man and a woman is natural, neutral, and noncontroversial, unlike parody forms of marriage.’
It goes on to claim, ‘In the wake of Obergefell v. Hodges [the case that prompted the SCOTUS ruling on same-sex marriage] there has not been a land rush on gay marriage, but there has been a land rush on the persecution of nonobservers by Secular Humanists and an effort by Secular Humanists to infiltrate and indoctrinate minors in public schools to their religious world view which is questionably moral, plausible, obscene, and is not secular; and … it is unsettled whether or not sexual orientation is immutable or genetic and is therefore a matter of faith.’
Around half a million gay and bisexual people got married in the first 12 months following the SCOTUS ruling in June 2015.
LGBT advocates have blasted the bill.
Sarah Warbelow, Legal Director with HRC stated: ‘Marriage equality is the undisputed law of the land.
‘Lawmakers should focus on actual challenges facing their constituents, not obsess over a settled issue that the overwhelming majority of Americans support. This is a distraction that denigrates tens of thousands of loving same-sex couples and their families.’
Jeff Ayers, executive director of SC Equality, singled out Steven Wayne Long for criticism.
‘This is nothing more than an attempt by a first-term representative to pander to his far-right base in an election year.
‘Bills like this are hateful, discriminatory and only make it more difficult to recruit new business to South Carolina.
‘The LGBT community and our allies will not stand silently as Representative Long and the Keystone Cop Caucus paints a picture of South Carolina that is full of discrimination and bigotry.
He too said the issue of marriage equality has been settled by the Supreme Court. But, ‘If this bill were to pass, our lawyers are standing by to challenge it in the courts and the state will lose.’

Trump Nominates Another Homophobe To Be Lifetime Federal Judge
Donald Trump recently picked another judge for a US court seat and, unsurprisingly, the pick has an anti-LGBTI track record.
Trump named Gordon Giampietro to fill a vacant seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. The federal position, like all other court seats, lasts a lifetime.
He is currently assistant general counsel of the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company.
BuzzFeed News first unveiled the swaths of discriminatory comments.
In 2015, following the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage, Giampietro called it an ‘assault on nature’.
He made the comments on an episode of The Lydia LoCoco Show.
‘Anytime you assault nature, there’s going to be a backlash. That’s what we’re seeing today. … Whenever you go against God’s plan, bad things are going to happen,’ he furhter said.
In another interview with LoCoco in 2014, he spoke once more about gay marriage.
‘This new definition of marriage actually focuses marriage on the sex act,’ he said about it.
He further went on to say if same-sex marriage was about love, society should also allow incest.
‘Because if it were simply that we wanted to honor the love of two people, we would allow sons to marry their mothers, brothers to marry their sisters, for example, to get them health care. Isn’t that a beautiful thing? Doesn’t society think that would be a great thing, if a sister could get her brother on health care?’

How Often Do Gay Men Buttfuck?
There’s a belief out there that gay men are having anal sex every single day.
It turns out that isn’t the case whatsoever.

It found:
- 13% have anal sex daily
- 39% of gay men have it a couple times a week
- 24% of gay men have it a couple times a month
- 5 in 6 gay men have it at least a few times a year
- One in six has it less than once a year

They found:
- 42% of gay men always or frequently use an anal cleanser
- 38% rarely or never do
- 21% sometimes use an anal cleanser
- Gay men who have anal sex daily are 2.1 times more likely to always use an anal cleansing product

New Cockyboys Parody: "Not In Front Of My Pastor"
A pastor who was found in his car with a naked man bound in ropes – says he is innocent.
The American pastor is being accused of open lewdness and indecent exposure, according to CBS.
But 61-year-old George Nelson Gregory from Munhall Pennsylvania says the police report is wrong.
Officers were sent to Beechland Street in Pittsburgh, near to where the pastor lives, around 11:30 p.m. Friday. A suspicious vehicle was reported as parked outside of a home.
According to the criminal complaint, when the officers arrived on the scene, they could see two men inside the vehicle.
Police say the pastor was in the back seat. But, the other man was found completely naked and bound with nylon rope in the front seat.
When officers asked what was going on, the pastor told the officers they: ‘were just playing.’
Simply adding ‘we meet up from time to time to play with each other.’
The other man confirmed that what they were doing was consensual.
However, the pastor now denies the conversation the police report quotes ever happened, who says:
‘I have nothing to hide. I did nothing wrong.’
‘I won’t deny that he began to take his clothes off and propositioned me, but I will deny, on a stack of Bibles with God as my witness, that I did nothing.’
Moreover, Gregory says because he had his clothes on during the alleged incident ‘there’s no reason for me to be charged with open lewdness.’
The criminal complaint obtained by KDKA shows both the pastor and the man who was found tied up – will get court summons paperwork mailed to them.
Okay, then how did this naked man tie himself up?

The pastor says he and his wife have been counseling the young man,
who was tied up. Adding they’ve been helping him with a drug problem for
years:‘I won’t deny that he began to take his clothes off and propositioned me, but I will deny, on a stack of Bibles with God as my witness, that I did nothing.’
