Christian Conservatives gather together to plan a War against the LGBT Community


    These group continue their haterade towards our fam. They gathered together this weekend in Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va to start their losing battle against us.
    The first step for Christian conservatives to win the war against the gay movement is to rebrand the terms, said a few panelists at this weekend’s The Awakening conference at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.


    “‘Gay’ is a left-wing socio-political construct designed to create grounds for fundamental rights [based on] whimsical capricious desires,” said Ryan Sorba, chairman of the Young Conservatives of California. “Gay identity does not exist.”


    Sorba proposed alternatives to the word “gay,” which received approval by a unanimous show of hands by the 40-some audience members:


    * “Same-sex attraction”
    * “Same-sex intercourse”
    * “Sodomy”
    * “Unnatural vice”


    Later in the discussion, it was suggested that gays should also be referred to as “anti-Christian.”


    The one self-described ex-gay on the panel, Greg Quinlan — who founded the Pro Family Network in 1996 and is now the president of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX) but spent his gay years lobbying for the LGBT-rights group Human Rights Campaign – explained that his foray into homosexuality was caused by abuse from his father and looking at Playboy magazine as a young boy.


    “Feelings change, and they don’t define you,” Quinlan said, noting that through counseling he was able to re-orient his sexual attraction, which led to a heterosexual marriage (he’s now divorced).


    “If you had all the facts, you wouldn’t choose to be gay,” Quinlan, 52, said. “When you live a lie, you tell a lie. Truth is not a philosophy. Truth is a person, and his name is Jesus Christ. Tell the truth in love, but it isn’t love until you tell the truth.”


    As a board member of PFOX, he proposed a resolution to PepsiCo Inc. shareholders (PDF) in 2010, asking the corporation to rescind their funding to the Parents and Families, Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), because he claimed they promote intolerance to the ex-gay community and protest against religious conferences featuring ex-gay speakers. He has also spoken before the Disney Board of Directors, pushing a resolution to include ex-gays in the company’s mandatory sexual orientation diversity training for employees.
    We are anti-Christian? Please, what do they think they are, Saints?

So, How Many LGBT folks live in America?


    A new study from the Williams Institute claims (close to) 9 million Americans are LGBT.

    That's it? I thought there were more... Anywho, there is more info from this study that you may find interesting.
    In total, with approximately 700,000 transgender Americans, nearly 4% of the nation's population is openly LGBT.

    Furthermore, an estimated 19 million people, or 8.2%, have engaged in some relationships or sexual behavior with someone of the same sex, and 25.6 million admit to harboring at least some same-sex attraction at some point.

    The research shows that slightly more people identify as bisexual (1.8%) than as lesbian or gay (1.7%), and women are more likely than men to identify as bisexual.

    The Los Angeles-based think tank came to the number after cross-referencing four recent national and two state-level population-based surveys.
    "Last week, the Institute of Medicine at the National Academies released an analysis of LGBT health research calling for federal statistical agencies to quickly move toward LGBT inclusion in their data collection," lead researcher Gary Gates said in a statement. "The surveys highlighted in this report demonstrate the usefulness of sexual orientation and gender identity questions on large-scale national population-based surveys.
    Better data can provide the building blocks for critical information to understand the lives of the 9 million LGBT Americans who have been historically marginalized in both society and research."

17 killed at a Gay Party in Mexico


    17 people were gunned down at a gay party in Torreon, Mexico.

    The reason? Still a mystery. L.A. Times has the story:
    The dead identified by Sunday afternoon were in their 20s and 30s, some related to one another, according to the prosecutor's office for the state of Coahuila, where Torreon is located. Coahuila borders Texas, and while beset by the same violence terrorizing other border states, has received less publicity.

    Authorities confirmed the number of dead and said some of the 18 injured were in critical condition.


    Pictures from the scene showed toppled white plastic chairs, scattered musical instruments and cups and plates and shoes strewn on a blood-splattered floor alongside a tented pool. Empty beer bottles were lined up on tabletops; bullet holes punctured the walls.


    "The party was ongoing … when gunmen arrived in several vehicles, disembarked and, without uttering a word to those in attendance, opened fire," Jesus Torres, state attorney general, said in a statement. The assailants fled.


    Investigators recovered 122 spent shells from high-velocity assault rifles.


    Many of the partygoers at the event that began Saturday evening were attracted by an invitation that appeared on Facebook, according to reporters at the Torreon edition of Milenio newspaper and television. The posting included directions and a map. Organizers of the party were a gay group, Milenio said, but the invitation specifically said the event was open to all. Although that raised the possibility of an anti-gay hate crime, most speculation centered on drug traffickers as the assailants.
    I hope this is solved soon.Source URL: https://americanendeavor.blogspot.com/search/label/LGBT%20community
