News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyFebruary 6th, 2010
Here’s another one who thinks that gay people are pedophiles:
Stunning assault on the all-volunteer military, the very best in the world. Barack Obama now intents to treat them like lab rats in a radical social experiment, and it can be very, very detrimental. Not only does he want the Congress to repeal the law, Secretary Gates as much as said I, Secretary Gates, am going to selectively enforce the law and basically impose a moratorium on discharges for those who meet the standard as it were.
Now, here’s what’s next. NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) members, same-sex marriages. Are chaplains in the U.S. military going to be required to perform those kinds of rituals? Do they get government housing? In other words, all of this stuff that everybody says “Aw, we can just take care of it because we’ve got the best military in the world” — and we do — ads to the burden of these youngsters who are now on their ninth year of a war, back to back deployments, and more combat time than my Dad got in World War II. That is a very serious issue, and it affects readiness, recruiting and retention and they’re ignoring it in this White House.
While North slams gays for being pedophiles — a charge that has nothing to do with reality — he also slams the maturity of the men and women fighting those two wars. They aren’t youngsters. They are professional soldiers fighting for the rights of convicted accused felons like North to lie on national television.

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.

Dear Ollie, please take off your blinders. Look to our neighbors to the north, Canada. Have they collapsed? Look to are UK allies; have they collapsed? Look to the military of Israel; has it collapsed? If they can succeed, the only reason we cannot is the bigotry of misguided ‘patriots’ such as yourself.

Best in the world? Olli must have forgotten vietNam and afghanistan, where we were givenmajor cans of whoopass to open.
NAMBLA? Are we recruiting 12 year olds into the military now?
SSM? I suspect it’s possible, but I can’t see what it has to do with anything.
I’m surprised he managed to leave out earthquakes, the financial collapse, and the jonas bros.

It’s no longer an experiment when several other countries have implemented equality in their ranks without any problems. Stop lying. Oh wait it’s Ollie North, he’s a pathological liar.

We should have gotten rid of Ollie North when we had a chance. I was in the service during the Vietnam war. That was another war we should never have been in. But it made people like Ollie think they were big shots. That
was a draft war something that should never been done away with. If it were still in effect we would still have enough men and women to fight with a break between deployments.
Of course it is always the straights
that are always calling someone else a pedophile when in fact they are more likely to be the ones that are looking for little boys.
During Vietnam we were mostly in early twenties and older when we fought that political war, same as this war is.
This is the Bush’s war daddy couldn’t finish it so Jr. decided he could. So nine years later we are still there and kicking trained personal out because they are worried about who they sleep with..Like those men never saw men in locker rooms and showers when they were younger and didn’t worry about it then and aren’t worried about it now.
Just the homophobs and holy rollers preaching HATE.
….(Take that Ollie North)

Didn’t mean to rant that long and maybe some of you don’t want to hear.
But I was in 1965 to 1968 and they were kicking trained gays out then.

Ollie North, the Lt Col. who disgraced his uniform, lied to Congress in violation of his oath to uphold the laws and Constitution of the United States of America, while selling arms to our sworn enemy Iran and funnelling the profits to contras in Nicaragua in violation of laws passed by Congress is still around??? Wow, I thought he went the way of the dodo bird.
I can’t imagine that there are many gay people who have ever disgraced the uniform as much as this character. I find it even more amazing that anyone would listen to him.

Ollie North is a paid correspondent for FOX News… Of course he’d say those things.

Good Ole Ollie. Poor man probably gets his facts from Cameron and NARTH. They call his kind in court, “unreliable witness”.

As others have said, how in th name of Thor can this be considered a “radical social experiement” when other countries have successfully integrated openly gay people into their military forces?
Is he unaware of this (in which case he is ignorant) or is he conveniently ignoring it because it detracts from his case (in which case he is deceitful)?

Just a dumb question from a non-USAian, but is NAMBLA membership a legitime reason for discharge of military in USA now/before?
If its not, then its Ollie as usual I suppose…
(not that I see why NAMBLA will be allowed if its not allowed already?)

wasn’t racial integration of the armed forces called a “radical social experiment” too?
As much as people balk and get annoyed with us for aligning with the civil rights movement, why does it seem so similar?
Why is it that bigotry seems to always run down the same lines? Why does it always resort to the same tactics?
Seems to me, they’re proving our point for us.

We should just ignore this seasoned criminal- a veteran of corruption, especially when he makes statements that equate gay people to pedophiles.

Ya, I’m going to listen to the only guy in history who sold arms to Iran to then funnel that money to gorilla terrorists in Nicaragua and then lied to congress about it. Of course all of this was done under Reagan’s and the republicans watch. And yet Democrats are labeled as week on terrorism, no were not, we don’t sell arms to our enemies. Good old Fox news really knows how to pick the loosers, Palin, Huckabee, Rove, Perino. It’s like a Republican class reunion.

This link isn’t directly related to North, but it is an interesting short piece on race and sex discrimination within DADT.
