Pastor David Grisham wants to boycott Houston because that city elected a lesbian for mayor.
“This is not about the Mayor personally,” Grisham says, no doubt bringing some relief to Annise Parker. “It’s not about personality, it’s about principle. The election of an [openly] homosexual person to a major public office brings with it a radical homosexual agenda. That in and of itself makes a statement.”
Pastor Grisham is behind the Repent Amarillo web site (warning: loud sound effects), which sports an Army of God logo. His”spiritual mapping” page includes a handy rundown of Amarillo’s four gay bars and a few gay-friendly churches. Nice to know for those traveling through.

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 man’s providing a public service! I’m sure Mayor Parker would have no problem with his followers steering clear of her town, and most likely the majority of Houston residents would happily live without them, too.

Isn’t this boycott, like, HARASSMENT of an entire city?
Isn’t this like, de facto threatening the livelihoods of Houstonians because nobody will want to spend money there?
Aren’t boycotts tantamount to activist terrorism and militants out to damage Houston?
See, when STRAIGHT folks do it, it’s a legal and important right to boycott something.
But when GAY folks do it, it’s considered criminal, vicious and anti Democratic and fascist.
And then there’s that pesky little saying we’re always hearing…”you don’t have a right to not be offended.”
And as for this bozo.
There’s a BIG chasm of difference between being offended, and being attacked, assaulted and denied legal and civil rights.

This guy is full of crap. As a resident of Providence, Rhode Island which elected an openly gay person as mayor several years ago, I can assure that there is no radical gay agenda being worked here. The mayor is working for all the people of this city and was overwhelmingly re-elected. And in a city that is overwhelmingly Catholic.

As a resident of Amarillo I can assure you that this guy is not well-thought of up here, at least by everyone I know. He tries to get businesses shut down by basically harassing customers until they stop coming.
