Prominent Promoter of Uganda’s “Kill-the-Gays” Bill to be Honored in Chicago Suburb
GLN Planning October 15th Protest

A stridently anti-gay organization, “Americans For Truth About Homosexuality” (AFTAH), is planning to honor Scott Lively, a principal proponent of Uganda’s proposed death penalty bill for gays, at its annual banquet Saturday, October 15th at the Christian Liberty Academy, 502 W. Euclid Ave., Arlington Heights, IL.

The Gay Liberation is initiating a protest at 6 PM that night and invites all individuals and organizations who believe in civil rights to join in protest against one of the foremost American advocates of violence against Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender people.

Scott Lively journeyed to Uganda in 2009 with other U.S. evangelical gay bashers to stage a “Seminar on Exposing the Homosexual Agenda” even though homosexuality was already illegal in that nation. Lively helped stoke anti-gay animus by playing the “child molestation” card, asserting that gays are “looking for other people to prey upon, and that when they see someone from a broken home, it’s like they have a flashing neon sign over their head … male homosexuality has not traditionally been adult to adult, it’s been adult to teenager. … The gay movement is an evil institution.”

More recently, Lively justified anti-gay violence when David Kato, Uganda’s leading gay advocate, was murdered. Lively wrote, “It is as if the militant ranks of ‘Code Pink’ were transported back to 1890s America to agitate for ‘sexual freedom.’ Our great grandparents would not have countenanced this. There would have been violence, as there has now been in Uganda.”

AFTAH’s Executive Director, Peter LaBarbera, has also spoken in favor of the Ugandan bill, and AFTAH is cited as a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center, as is Lively’s Abiding Truth Ministries.. LaBarbera has been hot-wired into Illinois Republican politics for years, serving as the primary local booster of the Alan Keyes senatorial campaign in 2004 and pairing closely with Jim Oberweis’s multiple campaigns for governor and senator. Twice LaBarbera has put considerable effort into attempts to get anti-gay referenda on Illinois’ ballot, trying to mimic the hate climate that accompanied California’s Proposition 8.

3. These Are Not Just Hate Groups.....

These are "Christian Terrorists" rubbing each others back.......


Anyone who assumes that these are just a few lone nuts in the wilderness, do so at their own peril.....


Think about it.... where are they getting their money to travel all over the World to spread their vicious hate?


These Christian Terrorists are well funded, well armed, and not afraid to do anything to get their way......


So don't call them "haters", as they are Christian Terrorists (a duck is a duck, and a cigar is a cigar) who would end your life promptly if they thought no one was looking.....


They operate in clear view of local, and national law enforcement... not to mention under the nose of local, and national politicians, in which both groups give them a "wink and a nod"... if they didn't, they couldn't exist....


Here is a good read for anyone that doubts that "Christian Terrorists" have "special rights" in the United States...

BUT WAIT FELLOW QUEERS!

Here is the newest craze among the church set to make criminals walk the straight and narrow.... only to match " Christian Gay Preparative Therapy"

Should you just ignore these Christian Terrorists, like they are some lunatic that will get tired, and just go away?


You better rethink that strategy, as your very life depends it!


Some will hate you publicly... while others smile, and hate you privately..... but never confuse the fact, that both groups despise you with equal intensity....
