Pastor: "Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities"

[The Philosopher]

from The New Civil Rights Movement

Tuesday, November 15, proudly stood up in front of the Oklahoma City Council and railed against a bill that would, if passed, extend a little bit of equality to a much-​maligned minority: LGBT people. The bill passed 7 – 2, and added “sexual orientation” to Oklahoma City’s anti-​discrimination law. But Dr. Tom Vineyard, a Baptist Minister, used the occasion anyway to do as much damage as he possibly could to the LGBT community — no doubt, some of whom are his own congregants.

“Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court stated, ‘Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities’,” Pastor Vineyard decried. (Of course, we don’t know if that means that gays are murderers or murder victims, but it’s patently false regardless.)

Vineyard also couched his attack with glaring statistics about the health of “homosexuals,” citing strange statistics that would make any normal person blush.

Then, in the midst of the Penn State child sex abuse and rape scandal that has rocked our nation, the good Pastor Vineyard said, “Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all the reported child molestations in the U.S. Many homosexuals openly admit that they are pedophiles because they cannot actually reproduce, they resort to recruiting children.”

Vineyard went on to talk about NAMBLA, and, well, you can hear his entire disgusting screed in this video, all four minutes of it.

So of course I decided I had to check Vineyard’s statement. It wasn’t hard to find his speech nestled away on various right wing message boards and forums. But it also wasn’t hard to find someone else who took the exact same journey to discover and debunk Vineyard’s lies.

6. What the hell has happened to Oklahoma

It didn't used to be like this. My family settled there before it was a state, both of my parents are from there. They are some of the most reasonable people you have ever seen. I swear this shit started when Reagan came to power.

7. Anyone who believes anything these asswipes say is stupid beyond belief....

9. Definitely true, but a good portion of Americans believe this crap. Many Americans are

amazing to me, they never validate the truth of crap they hear. This has to be among one of the most gullible countries in the world. It's both stunning and appalling.
