News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyDecember 22nd, 2008
Saddleback Pastor Rick Warren recently compared same-sex marriage to incest. That was taken as an insult by gay activists. Maybe we misunderstood him. Maybe it was meant to be a compliment:
A Christian missionary who impregnated his 17-year-old daughter was sentenced to 12.5 years in prison Monday. The 44-year-old man was convicted by a Pima County [Arizona] jury last month of four counts of sexual conduct with a minor and one count of child abuse. According to court documents, the daughter called the Tucson Police Department last summer and told detectives that her father had been sexually abusing her since the age of 12.
The girl said that her father and mother were Christian missionaries who traveled from state-to-state and much of the abuse had occurred in Colorado and Arizona.
Oh, and get this:
Her mother learned of the abuse by reading her diary, but instead of confronting the father, the girl said her mother threw her diary out of a car window.
…She said her father told her God told him to have sex with her and she should think of him as her husband. Her father also often quoted Scriptures during the acts.
But we’re the ones posing a danger to the “5,000 year old institution.”

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.
Prologue: Why I Went To “Love Won Out”
Part 1: What’s Love Got To Do With It?
Part 2: Parents Struggle With “No Exceptions”
Part 3: A Whole New Dialect
Part 4: It Depends On How The Meaning of the Word "Change" Changes
Part 5: A Candid Explanation For "Change"
At last, the truth can now be told.
Using the same research methods employed by most anti-gay political pressure groups, we examine the statistics and the case studies that dispel many of the myths about heterosexuality. Download your copy today!

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.

That’s truly sick. :/
Of course other Christians of the same persuasion will say that the man was never a Christian to begin with otherwise he would have never done that to his daughter.
Right.

Truly disturbing and I just don’t understand the mother’s reaction.

Leave it up to the christianists. How does a person even think of having sex with their child, much less any other child? ‘God told him to do it’ what utter BS. 12.5 years in jail? not long enough if you ask me. If this sick SOB can have sex with his own daughter and say god told him to do so, there is nothing going to stop him from doing the same to another child.
As for the mother, she needs to be put under some sort of psychological help.
But I guess that with all the talk these types do about homosexuals and all the demonizing they do, they must get to the point in fantacy land and have to try it out.
And they lable the LGBT as the sickos. talk about projection.

It would be great if BTB would aggregate all the Menace posts together, like how some blogs gather them with tags.

I don’t see why we’re the threats to society and they’re not. I really don’t.

Becuase, in the view of heterosexists, they ARE society and we’re not.

Interesting how religious people always use the idea that “God told them or wants them” to do these things.
The same thing happened between a priest and one of the founders of SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests). In her case, this priest told her that God wanted them to have sex. And she wasn’t the only one this happened to.

I think the mother ought to be brought up on charges, as well. At the very least, by tossing out the diary, she was destroying evidence.

No, sick people like that are not real Christians. Do you really think Christians do that? Do you really think the father (or the mother) will go to heaven and God will say, “well done, my good and faithful servant.” Yeah right. Also, the term “Christian” is REALLY broad. Don’t you know there are homosexual “Christian” pastors? How can that be? At least most “Christian” people will think those disgusting freaks deserve punishment a lot worse than 12.5 years for the man and 1.75 for his wife.

Will a real Christian please stand up?
When someone rationalizes abuse of another human being, or the restriction of basic rights…THAT is the indicator of who is the counterfiet.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a lot of motivation to vet them either.
Wouldn’t make enough of a power base and then they’d be a minority.
This is all a very gender based bias problem.
Women and girls are forgotten in the discussion on victims of sexual abuse.
It’s a strong indicator that females are a low priority on the food chain.
And as in so many religious myths, women are blamed for the troubles in the world.
Females are 2/3 of a global population that is illiterate.
In the most conservative online blogs like TownHall, Newsmax, WND and WashTimes…very little is said of the war on girls and women.
Even in their own homes here in the US.
Don’t they EVER read the statistics on domestic violence and the percentage of victims and perps?
To hear the more conservative tell it, gay people are responsible.
To see the crime stat information for 2008 which is being compiled by law enforcement agencies all over the country.
The opposition’s assertions on gay folks in the crime mix are laughable.
When the hetero on the march against gay people own their own failures, maybe we’ll get somewhere.

I was reading another blog and found this piece of news from the Salt Lake Tribune that fits the theme of this posting: Former LDS bishop sentenced for child sex abuse
