September 18, 2011
By Stephen D. Foster Jr.

Linda Harvey, the founder of Mission America, says that LGBT people don’t exist. She made the comments during her weekend broadcast while she was attacking the Gay, Lesbian, And Straight Education Network.

Harvey was particularly perturbed by the GLSEN Sports Program which works towards “creating and maintaining an athletic and physical education climate that is based on the core principles of respect, safety and equal access for all students, teachers and coaches regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.”

Harvey believes there is no need for such a program because according to her, there is no proof that LGBT people exist.

Harvey: “There’s one big fact that’s not backed up. There is no proof that there’s ever anything like a gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgendered child, or teen or human. One of the other things you’re gonna see as I mentioned is a big campaign GLSEN’s gonna roll out this year calling for ‘respect,’ respect! Not just for people, but for homosexual lifestyle. The PR campaign to hold up gay as a good thing: the lifestyle, not the person, because there are no such humans.”

Some really strange people out there. I wonder if they can prove if anyone exists??

2. I am dumbfounded at her stupidity.
How can any supposedly rational person say such a thing, much less believe it?

That's a lot like saying the earth is flat.

6. Oh they don't believe it.
But they get to say it - and never suffer the appropriate consequence from the media, etc.

5. There's no proof her god exists
Or that any god exists. Yet she and all other religious believers like her have special rights based on their chosen religious lifestyles. They all need to STFU and stop spewing nonsense and hatred to defend the indefensible. But if they did they'd have to get real jobs.

9. No Proof That LGBT People Exist....


But the "Creationist Museum" will give her proof that the World was created in 7 days, and that Dinosaurs & Cave Men lived side by side......


These are not lone nuts in the wilderness folks..... if they get their way, the death camps will make a reappearance...


You can bet your life on it.....

10. I've been trying to argue that "narrow-minded idiots don't exist" for years.
But every time I think I'm close people like her come along and throw a monkey wrench into it.

12. There's no proof that ANYTHING exists.
I presume this means, though, that all the ungulates are just "adopting the lifestyle", and there wouldn't be any gay moose if there weren't gay moose recruiters wandering the muskeg singing Barbra Streisand and Stephen Merritt to them.

I bet http://borngaybornthisway.blogspot.com/">Born Gay, Born This Way would just blow the knickers right off these poor puppies.

15. Yes...
...we don't exist. It is all in their imagination. Just like man walking with dinosaurs 6000 years ago, or what ever the fuck they believe.

Some people need to seriously grow a brain, FAST!

16. They sure spend a lot of time and money fighting something that doesn't
exist then. Guess I'm not surprised since they claim to worship something that doesn't exist either.

17. So, logic would dictate that Heterosexual people don't exist?
I don't see why proving that GLBT is a choice, and lifestyle is so important to people like Harvey.

After all, if it is a choice and lifestyle for us, the only logical conclusion is that heterosexuality is likewise a choice and lifestyle.. and one that anyone, including herself can change over from at any time.

Of course, idiots like her can't be bothered by logic.

20. LOL
The Babel fish,” said The Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy quietly, “is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy not from its carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.

“Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.

“The argument goes something like this: ‘I refuse to prove that I exist,’ says God, ‘for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.’

“‘But,’ says Man, ‘The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.’

“‘Oh dear,’ says God, ‘I hadn’t thought of that,’ and promptly vanished in a puff of logic.


Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
