Comments on: Right-Wing Accuracy In Media: Abandoning freedom of speech and the press are a “natural reaction” to pro-gay “propagandizing” http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/02/11/20258 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Tue, 21 May 2013 23:25:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Cole http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/02/11/20258/comment-page-1#comment-62188 Cole Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:10:50 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=20258#comment-62188 The haterosexual supremacists don't want opposition. That's why they went to the Supreme Court to shut off the cameras for the Prop 8 trial. That's why they turn off comments to their youtube channels. That's why they label gay people peacefully protesting "harrassment". Remember when Carrie Prejean went on every tv show to scream her support for heterosexual-only marriage and at the same time scream she was denied free speech because people spoke out in opposition to her views? They don't want opposition and they will do anything to stop it. The haterosexual supremacists don’t want opposition.

Debate is fine and reasonable people can disagree; it is, however, either ignorant to ignore facts (hence the term), or cynical to purposely avoid them. In either case, one is acting barbarically by not truly engaging the debate. And acting that way can clearly have lethal repercussions for innocent people. Shame on Mr. Cliff Kincaid.

From what I can find on what Catholics call The Uganda Martyrs, it appears that youngest age was 14 (St. Kizito) and the oldest was 50 (St. Matiya Mulumba). Ick. Not sure about the "gay" angle to the story, but clearly there was a power play involved as we see in other countries fearful of Western imperialism, which missionaries unfortunately were many times the vanguard of. Still, this doesn't justify the brutal murder of these men, let alone any forced sexual relations. To further use their martyrdoms as justification for persecuting gays today dishonors their memory and is a betrayal of the Gospel. It's not just in Uganda either, read about what's going on in Kenya with the religiously inspired "Operation Gay Out": http://www.nation.co.ke/News/-/1056/860810/-/vqhvrh/-/index.html Despicable.
