News and commentary about the anti-gay lobbyMay 25th, 2016
The independent Kurdish press agency ARA News reports:
Jamal Nassir al-Oujan, 15, was arrested by the ISIS-led Islamic Police in the Mayadin city of Deir ez-Zor province earlier on Sunday. The Sharia Court accused him of sodomy and decided to stone the boy to death.
“Al-Oujan was brutally stoned to death by ISIS militants in Jaradiq square in the Mayadin city on Monday afternoon,” an eyewitness told ARA News, speaking on condition of anonymity.
“Also, some civilians were forced to participate in stoning the victim,” the source said. “The brutal scene has shocked all residents of Mayadin.”
Deir ez-Zor governorate is located in eastern Syria. Al-Mayadin is still an ISIS stronghold despite ongoing assaults. With a pre-war population of 44,000, it is the governorate’s second largest city.

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.

Poor boy. This is failure of humanity. “This child is attracted to other boys, lets kill him and make him suffer”. Oh, ok, humans…

There was no ISIS before the Bush-Clinton invasion of Iraq. If you support killing Iraqi LGBT people, vote for Hillary Clinton. (Notice I’m not telling anyone to vote for Trump either, so don’t pull that “You must be a Republican” crap on me.)

You might be a liberal turd if you’re response to the killing of gay people is “oh, what a failure of humanity.” Stop clutching your pearls, Mary, and either learn how to fight back and defend our people or sit down and stop criticizing those of us who are fighting back. Those lazy liberals and their refusal to do anything more than bitch and whine are pat of the reason gay 13-year olds are killing themselves in 2016. Those kids look at you and think “wow, there really is no hope for people like me.”

Lonnie,
I urge you to review our comments policy now, before things get out of hand. We love discussion and we love exchanging a wide variety of viewpoints. But if leading off with epithets like “liberal turd” and making sweeping generalizations with both guns blazing is your thing, you might be more comfortable with other sites on the left or the right that are more interested in bile than ideas.
On the other hand, if you want to engage in a real discussion with real original ideas AND treat other commenters with respect, we’d love to have you here.

Lonnie, wow, talk about inappropriate reaction. This has nothing to do with politics. I am European woman, and I expressed my opinion this people are utterly evil. Nothing more. Yes, I am so simple.
