News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyApril 24th, 2008
We’ve reported on the anti-gay witch hunt that’s been taking place in Egypt under the cover of an anti-HIV witch hunt. Now we learn that there’s an anti-gay witch hunt going on in Bahrian, one of the U.S. administration’s allies in the “war on terror.” This witch hunt extends to school children:
School students could soon be spied on under a campaign to stamp out homosexuality, under demands made by MPs yesterday. Parliament also demanded that the Interior Ministry stop granting any residence permits to foreign homosexuals. Any already here should be deported as soon as they are detected, MPs said at parliament’s weekly session.
MPs also called for regular inspections to root out homosexuals at massage parlours, health clubs and hair salons. It also called for monitoring in schools and for pupils who veer towards homosexuality to be punished.

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.

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.

The part in the article that really gets me:
It’s all about the foreign gays, since we all know that nobody from there will want to become gay. (end sarcasm)

I just completed some googling on the problem, and just stumbled onto a blogster by the name of Elder of Zion. Still clicking through and learning about him, but he’s evidently quite up on what’s happening in that part of the world. From the points he’s making, I’d say he’s somebody the editors here would do well to keep an eye on what he writes! Just a thought.

“Parliament also demanded that the Interior Ministry stop granting any residence permits to foreign homosexuals. Any already here should be deported as soon as they are detected, MPs said at parliament’s weekly session.”
OHHHHH… ‘since gays are the most who practice sodomy, and sodomy has the highest risk, protected or not, to spread AIDS then, it is only reasonable to erradicate them”. I get it, and ill agree with their ‘anti-HIV’ slogan if its congruent, like Barbara’s stance, those heterosexuals found to be practicing sodomy will suffer the same ‘gay fate’. I wonder though… werent blacks along the same ‘AIDS spreading’ percentage statistic as gays? If this is true, they should also punish them.
This would be even more distrubing… if they found the gay gene before finding the cure. You know what that means?… Punished in the fetus maybe? Or since one is already set around 12yrs then i guess this wouldbe the ideal age to ‘get the message accross’.
Too bad AIDS=death. SO i dont think i can actually argue with them trying to prevent it. I do however find it concerning that it doenst matter if you have had or are planning to do sodomy. What really matters is the POSSIBLITY of you sodomizing(is that a correct term?) like “It also called for monitoring in schools and for pupils who veer towards homosexuality to be punished.” pretty much implies? Not to mention im sure there going to punish -non-gays- due to stereotyping, no? Or what are their standards to determine if someones gay?
I wonder, once they end with gays(since their the highest possiblity of spreading aids) then they will continue to the straight or [insert highest probability group here]? no? If they dont… why the double standard? or do they have a probability limit that bounds on hterosexuality or [insert group of people here] i guess, otherwise EVERYONE would have to be punished.
Since the premise(seems to me) is ‘dieing before their natural time'(consentual or not) thats wrong, then they would also have to place limits and punishments on smoking, eating cooked red meat, eating greasy foods, all xtreme sports(hiking, mountainclimbing… etc)…etc,etc…
