A tiger escaped its enclosure in the San Francisco zoo and killing one young man and seriously mauled two more on Christmas Day, just as the zoo was about to close. Our friends at Westboro Baptist had their press release ready to go the very next day:
Uh, happy Feast of St. Stevens (a.k.a Boxing Day)…

In this original BTB Investigation, we unveil the tragic story of Kirk Murphy, a four-year-old boy who was treated for “cross-gender disturbance” in 1970 by a young grad student by the name of George Rekers. This story is a stark reminder that there are severe and damaging consequences when therapists try to ensure that boys will be boys.
When we first reported on three American anti-gay activists traveling to Kampala for a three-day conference, we had no idea that it would be the first report of a long string of events leading to a proposal to institute the death penalty for LGBT people. But that is exactly what happened. In this report, we review our collection of more than 500 posts to tell the story of one nation’s embrace of hatred toward gay people. This report will be updated continuously as events continue to unfold. Check here for the latest updates.
In 2005, the Southern Poverty Law Center wrote that “[Paul] Cameron’s ‘science’ echoes Nazi Germany.” What the SPLC didn”t know was Cameron doesn’t just “echo” Nazi Germany. He quoted extensively from one of the Final Solution’s architects. This puts his fascination with quarantines, mandatory tattoos, and extermination being a “plausible idea” in a whole new and deeply disturbing light.
On February 10, I attended an all-day “Love Won Out” ex-gay conference in Phoenix, put on by Focus on the Family and Exodus International. In this series of reports, I talk about what I learned there: the people who go to these conferences, the things that they hear, and what this all means for them, their families and for the rest of us.

At last, the truth can now be told.

Anti-gay activists often charge that gay men and women pose a threat to children. In this report, we explore the supposed connection between homosexuality and child sexual abuse, the conclusions reached by the most knowledgeable professionals in the field, and how anti-gay activists continue to ignore their findings. This has tremendous consequences, not just for gay men and women, but more importantly for the safety of all our children.
Anti-gay activists often cite the “Dutch Study” to claim that gay unions last only about 1½ years and that the these men have an average of eight additional partners per year outside of their steady relationship. In this report, we will take you step by step into the study to see whether the claims are true.
Tony Perkins’ Family Research Council submitted an Amicus Brief to the Maryland Court of Appeals as that court prepared to consider the issue of gay marriage. We examine just one small section of that brief to reveal the junk science and fraudulent claims of the Family “Research” Council.
The FBI’s annual Hate Crime Statistics aren’t as complete as they ought to be, and their report for 2004 was no exception. In fact, their most recent report has quite a few glaring holes. Holes big enough for Daniel Fetty to fall through.

I think by now Christians are starting to realize that Phelps is only HELPING the gay cause by encouraging sympathy for our side.

So, back in the 1940’s when the enclosure was built, God encouraged the designer to make the wall too short, so a tiger would be able to jump out in 2007 and maul three guys. Righto.
On another note: Romans 1:23 doesn’t actually mention Bengal tigers. Tinkering with the word of God, Phelps? Naughty!

Don’t you mean Rom. 1:26?
For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
Of course, that passage is just brimming with pussy. Coincidence?

“For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:”
I always thought this was such a strange quote. “Vile Affections” could mean a lot of different things. Why “wink, wink”, “nudge, nudge” your way through a proclamation? If you’re going to condemn something, why be vague?
“…their women did change the natural use into…” The natural use of….what exactly? A toaster? A lawnmower? The endocrine system?
“…into that which is against nature:” again, vague. What’s “against nature”? Telephones? Dentistry?
“Thou shalt not kill” is pretty much clear to me. Granted, it doesn’t say who or what you shouldn’t kill, but I think it’s much clearer than any of the passages that seem to beat around the bush about gays.
Murder, genocide, attempted rape, children seducing their own father, nailing a man to a tree, polygamy, threatening to cut an infant in half, the bible is pretty damn explicit, so why the ambiguous language about homosexuality? I have a hard time believing what me and my partner do behind closed doors is worse than genocide.
