Bigotry And Lies, Back In Action
Back in February, Janet Parshall’s bigoted, lying, and expensive anti-gay infomercial was scheduled to air on a local NBC-affiliate in Michigan. Fortunately, fairness and common-sense values at the station prevailed. Sadly, the same cannot be said for a Florida NBC affiliate, which aired, “Silencing The Christians” on gay pride day. Nice.
Take a look at a few clips form one of the most horrific, bigoted, hateful, and truly un-Christian films ever created.
In my piece “Silencing The Liars,” I wrote,
The video, produced by the American Family Association, is hosted by christian conservative radio host Janet Parshall, who, in 2006, suggested Matthew Shepard’s lifestyle was responsible for his murder. The AFA describes itself as being “for people who are tired of cursing the darkness and who are ready to light a bonfire.â€
This is an excellent example of the success the gay rights movement is making in our fight for equal rights and fair treatment. But for every success there are countless atrocities being committed against the gay community.
Right now the religious right is fighting very hard to turn back the clock and suppress the advances we have made. A Democratic majority in Congress and a Democratic president have convinced them to come out of the woodwork. Nothing breeds hate more than failure.
But now I need you to write. Write to WFLA News Channel 8 and tell them you are outraged that they would air such an antagonistic, hateful, and patently false view of homosexuals. Demand an apology. If you own stock in GE, write them too. Hell, write them even if you don’t. This is unacceptable.
Remember, Florida doesn’t need any help in their hatered of homosexuals: it is the only state with “a blanket ban on gay adoption.”
