Gay Texan Dies from Bashing

Plea over Gay Village 'killing' in Manchester England
story by Seb Ramsay

FAMILY and friends of an American who died three years after a brutal assault in Manchester's Gay Village are appealing for help in finding his attackers. Martin Salinas was left paralysed down one side with brain damage after he was stamped on and kicked near Essentials nightclub in Bloom Street.

Though 39-year-old Martin, who was living in Stockport, responded well to treatment and was able to move back to his family home in Texas, he died from a seizure last week.His family say a post-mortem examination showed his death was a direct result of the scarring on his brain caused by the serious head injuries suffered in the attack on May 11, 2003.

Marketing executive Martin had been with friends Maria Carabini and husband James when he was set upon as they headed for the club shortly before midnight. Police investigating the attack were unable to identify the thugs. They studied CCTV evidence, but vital footage from Essential nightclub had already been recorded over as a matter of course. Maria, 46, who is from Cheetham Hill, said Martin's family were devastated by his death, but were also frustrated that no progress had been made in the investigation.

"I had a meeting with police to make them aware of the situation and now we hope it is going to be upgraded to a murder inquiry," she said.

"CREATION 06" postponed by God

Any comments as to why God would bombard Pennsylvania with so much rain they had to cancel the giant "Creation 2006" Concert weekend. Rev. Scarborough? Mr. Falwell? Tinky Winky? Sponge Bob? Sadly, you preachermen are mighty quick to blame us "sodomites" every time a hurricane, fires, or swarm of locusts falls out of the sky.

I'm thinking that our God has constructed a slightly twisted but very elaborate and beautiful Rapture which is both "Christian" and "Family focused. Also, we are VERY READY to assist you preachermen in any way possible if you have the ability to push up your big Rapture Event.
If s, get on the horn with the big guy fast. We've had enough of you here - and are glad to see you go! Hallelujan! Praise Him!

Speaking of "Rapture", I know that God has been taking notes and watching you people for years, and he isn't too happy! With a large team of gay men choreographing his Rapture* and lesbians constructing the massive set, God may have a huge surprise in store for you an dyour flock. Off you'll go just like in the videos -ascending peacefully - only to find yourself screaming as the light turns to a darkness and God himself decides to "Stay Behind."

Regardless of the outcome, please do not expect God to reward you for the years you spent spreading misinfomation and lies bout us; your mean spirited badgering and violence, dishonesty and lack of human or for UNChristian, badgering, hate speech, and exclusionary Gospel of Hate.

The Press Release below may be a signal from the Big Guy for preachers fueling hate here in Texas.

Northeast schedule for June 28 – July 1, 2006 postponed until June 27 – June 30, 2007.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Creation 2006 Northeast schedule for June 28 – July 1, 2006 postponed until June 27 -30, 2007. This difficult decision has been made after much prayer and consideration. Due to the large amounts of rain that have fallen in the past 48 hours and the additional heavy rain fall that is expected this week, festival Administration, in conjunction with local Emergency Management, have concluded that the grounds are not safe for Creation attendees. Creation 2006 Northeast tickets will be honored at Creation 2007 Northeast. Additional information will be posted on here shortly. We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause you. Be assured that this decision has been made for the safety of all attending. We appreciate your continued prayers for the Creation Festival and its staff and look forward to joining together in 2007.

One Nation Divided

Considering the fact that they ("christian fundies")advocate that we all take our children OUT of public schools and instead "home school" them - why push this one and waste even an hour of Congressional time in DC?

It is very hard at times to understand how people identified as "Christian" do nothing each day except push for a global Christian Theocracy and gay bash people with no interest in what you are preaching. So, Despite the struggle many of us deal with in order to hold on to our faith, and even though I am wondering if your God is the same as all the rest of our God's. Ever wondered that your constant push to add you beliefs everywhere into our socieity maybe results in strike back legislation to slow you down, and stop your hate.

Pledge of Allegience &"Under God" Facts never discussed by the superchristian organizations:

Little Known Facts in the Pledge of Allegiance / "Under God" Debate:

Full Story Here

"The words "under God" were not added until June 14, 1954, thanks in part to efforts by religious leaders from the Knights of Columbus, as well as the Hearst Newspapers and the American Legion, who were "worried that orations used by 'godless communists' sound similar to the Pledge of Allegiance." Reciters of the original Pledge of Allegiance, until December 1942, saluted the flag in a straight arm salute. This arm motion was eliminated by Congress in its revised Flag Code during WWII because of the similarity to the Nazi salute. The U.S. Pledge of
Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a socialist editor and clergyman. It was not officially endorsed by the U.S. government until 1942 "

Washington D.C. July 2006 [Press Release Received by Email from FRC]

Today, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement after House passage of the Pledge Protection Act by a vote of 260 to 167:"I am pleased to see Congress exercising its constitutional authority to check the power of the courts which have tried to strip 'Under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance. "The 9th Circuit showed itself to be clearly out of step with both the American public and the spirit of the Constitution when it banned 'under God' from the Pledge in public schools.

Nearly 90% of Americans believe 'Under God' should remain in the Pledge and that students should be allowed to recite the pledge. However, the threat from crusading atheists and activist judges will not cease until the Pledge Protection Act is signed into law.

"The Pledge Protection Act will help restore a system of checks and balances intended by our Founding Fathers. We continue to see attempts to remove any acknowledgement of God from the public square. If the Pledge falls under the attack of liberal activists and their judicial accomplices, we can expect our nation's motto and other historical inscriptions to fall as well."We urge the U.S. Senate to act promptly and adopt this measure before the August recess.

Our overburdened courts will be more effective when they focus on areas of genuine dispute and cease tampering with first principles on which the American people are united."

Scarborough's Theocracy

Be very alarmed that Rev. Rick Scarborough and friends are not the poor "persecuted Christians" as they claim. They want a theocracy in America. Iran is a Theocracy, we do not want to be living in a theocracy run by these preachers who hate. The theocratic right wants a Christian Nation, something that was not the intention of our forefounders.

Hello, Rick? Separation of Church and State is a Good Thing. My family fled from Scotland due to religious extremism. I am not sure where we might go to get away from fanatics like you and the others spreading the Gospel of Hate in America.

Thomas Jefferson Letter To Danbury Baptist Association:

"Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God....I contemplate with solemn reverence that act of the whole American people which declared their legislature should "make n o law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" thus building a wall of separation between church and State."

President Thomas Jefferson 1802

Friends of Rev. Rick

Posted here are some photos of the friends of Rev. Rick Scarborough of Vision America. Several are in East Texas. Several are not "friends" of Vision America, although they may share many of the same goals and dreams at night. (KKK, Aryan Movement, Vision America)

Everything I read coming out of Rev. Rick Scarborough is mean-spirited and hate driven. I am completly over it. I am insulted to read in his book that gay people (a high %) eat and play with feces. Why can't you just leave gays and lesbians and transgendered people alone to live in America without you in our business. We want nothing to do with your World, your church, your life, or your children. We're not changing and have no desire to be "straight" like you. If you propose that we be jailed or exterminated from this Earth because we are gay then we suggest you spend more time on the firing range with the local militia. We have no plans of just "going away" - sorry.

How might we assist you "tribe" in pushing this Rapture End of the World thing up sooner? ...so that you will be beamed out of here to your perceived "Heaven" -we'll stay here and enjoy the World without you people. We'll throw some big ass parties with our community of friends . The Mormons have already expressed interest in Hate Mecca Colorado Springs and plan to make it a nice place again some soon. Get that Rapture pushed up Rev. Rick. Could you discuss the possibility with Jerry and Pat and get back to us?

Your Gospel of Hate is very nasty Vision America. Please, tone it down.

Stop lying about who we are . Stop thinking you know more about us than we do. Stop assuming you know more about medicine than physicians. Stop writing books full of false statistics. Stop assuming we might want to be anywhere near youafter this impending Rapture Event. Stop assuming we are all Christian. Stop telling our good parents they did a bad job. Stop saying that Liberalism Kills Kids. Stop advocating that judges be "removed" in whatever way God sees fit. Stop the child abuse of Home Schooling. Stop trying to convert us to Ex Gay. Stop filming our events and parties to spread your hate message. Stop telling youth that abstinence is the only option. Stop Demanding the Ten Commandments Be in Government Buildings. Stop inviting Bigot Preachers to Your Events. Stop allowing books to be sold in your church calling for jail or death sentences for the "Sodomites" Stop Your Hateful and Mean Spirited Campaigns of Intolerance, Exclusion, and Hatred. It is unAmerican and not very Christian.

Gospel of Hate Group Rally Features Rev. Rick Scarborough

The Rev Fred Phelps Baptist Family Picnic 2006. Fred Phelps is a creep - sad that the 'Religious leaders" only started screaming when he picketed the funeral of a soldier. They were no where to be found when he showed up to torment the parents of Matthew Shepard in Wyoming.

Gay Teenagers Murdered in Iran (2005)

Religous Extremism of all Types is a bad thing for our World. The United States Bush government does very little or nothing to Stop These Murders in Iran and across the Mideast and in Africa. These are human rights issues - not gay and lesbian issues. Sad

Bigots Unite for Photo Shoot.

The Judge was the Honoree at a Ten Commandments Event organized by Rev. Rick Scarborough in Alabama. The other guys is an old East Texas Baptist Preacher WN Otwell. He lead a Christian Cult called "God Said" and marched in Jasper after the Byrd death in order to challenge the New Black Panthers. He proposed that all gays and lesbians be sent to one country or place to be Quarantined, and frequently is with the Phelps Family picket line. He believes that "God uses the white race as leaders," and "the black race ... is a servitude people." He is an ardent separationist and militia supporter. He "doesn't want women to cut or dye their hair, and never wants to see a woman in pants. Otwell described pants-wearing women as "dyke-ish" and "cross-dressers." Why would Rev. Rick Scarborough include this person to participate in one of his "rallies?" Possibly because they advocate the same Gospel of Hate.

The Fresh Face of the East Texas KKK. James Roesch relocated from Ohio to Jasper after the Byrd murder. Let's hope he moves soon - he has obviously not been very well received in Jasper, Texas. It is hard to get a job when you are uneducated, stupid, and wear your KKK gear around town. Must be slim pickings over at the KKK when a nineteen year old is elevated to the title of Grand Dragon Wizard Whatever Title.

Two Years Later Jasper Builds A Legacy of Racial Harmon by E. Bauer <FULL STORY>

While the Panthers and the media are long gone, James Roesch, a skinny 19-year-old imperial wizard of the KKK from Ohio, has moved to Jasper, and locals are worried that he wants to make trouble.

Much to the embarrassment of whites, he has shown up at school board and local Democratic committee meetings dressed in Klan attire. "In general, the whole community would be happy if he moved away from here," said Pamela Sterling, a desk clerk at the Holiday Inn where Roesch gives media interviews about the Klan. "Surely he is only going to be able to reach the ignorant and illiterate: No one else would listen."

He isn't popular with his in-laws either. "If he got away from the Klan, I'd have more to do with him," said Hubert Letney, whose daughter married Roesch in a Klan ceremony last year. Letney now worries that his daughter and her 3-month-old baby will be hurt due to Roesch's activities.
"I was fired for my views," said Roesch who lost his job as a machine operator at a lumber company three months ago. Unable to get work, he now augments his wife's waitress earnings by sewing Klan robes and golfer Payne Stewart-style knickers for "my own small apparel business."

He declined to have his photograph taken, citing the publicity that got him fired -- a magazine photographed him standing beside James Byrd's grave.Roesch won't say how many Klan members are in Jasper. "Our organization is going underground and keeping a low profile," he said. Roesch is disliked only because he embodies the discomforting knowledge that racism still exists, "but we all know that most racism isn't done by men in sheets," said Diggles of the Deep East Texas Council of Governments. As founder of the new multicultural church, Diggles believes the services will further heal race relations.

Lyons of the Ministerial Alliance agreed but added, "Our prayers are for unity, but we've always got to keep our eyes and ears open."

And James Byrd Jr. is not forgotten. His resting place continues to draw those seeking racial harmony. A letter left on his grave recently by a Colorado woman promised that he hadn't died in vain.
"Being here has renewed my commitment to always teach tolerance, understanding, harmony and peace," she wrote.

Illegal Abortions Soon

Every month George Bush does another stupid something which blows me away.

No worries this month, he is on vacation in Texas - - again.

Why is George Bush going against the advice of physicians (real "Dr's") and their professional organizations as shown below, and pushing legislation which is harmful to women and kids and America? I am sure that the chart on the left will do a 180 turn for the worse. Stop listening to all the "DRs" who graduated from unacredited Christian colleges - they are not the experts!

When will you start to listen to physicians and their organizations, and not religious right wing groups. Just watch this chart on the left do an about face once pregnant teens are cock blocked by the fundie preachers on this issue -leading to higher suicides again. Suicides are bad enough, but the young girls forced to deliver a baby are sent to the back of the line in terms of future opportunities and education. The Gospel of Hate Group members like Scarborough and Robertson and Dobson are literally killing us.

RE: THE LEGISLATION Major medical groups including the American Medical Association, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American College of Physicians, and the American Public Health Association – have long opposed mandatory parental-involvement laws because of the dangers they pose to young women and the need for confidential access to physicians.

Senate Puts Punishment Before PreventionVote exposes political motivation behind Child Custody Protection Act, as anti-choice senators reject realistic ways to prevent teen pregnancy
Washington, DC — Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, called the Senate's passage of the so-called "Child Custody Protection Act" an irresponsible action that will do nothing to protect young women's safety or improve family communication. This divisive and controversial legislation would prohibit any one other than a parent—including a grandparent, aunt, adult sibling, or member of the clergy—from accompanying a young woman across state lines for abortion care if the home state's parental-involvement law has not been met. "The passage of this bill will have a chilling and dangerous effect on our most vulnerable teens. We all agree that teens in trouble should talk to their parents, and thankfully, most do. However, if they can't, for whatever reason, we want them to be safe," Keenan said. "This bill will serve only to isolate young women looking for help.

The American public wants teen pregnancy prevented, not punished."Keenan also noted that anti-choice senators' votes against an amendment that would help prevent teen pregnancy exposes the true political motivations behind this bill, which, like the gay-marriage ban, has been on the right-wing's "to-do list" for some time now.

Anti-choice senators defeated an amendment offered by Sens. Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg, both Democrats from New Jersey, that would have funded programs to prevent teen pregnancy and help parents talk to their kids about tough topics like sex. "Tonight's vote shows that Sens. Frist and Ensign, in collusion with their anti-choice colleagues, are not interested in preventing teen pregnancy or protecting young women in difficult circumstances," Keenan said. "That's the only reason they could reject more funding for teen-pregnancy prevention programs. Voters this November will remember which senators stood up for commonsense and which ones caved to the extreme far-right anti-choice pressure groups."

Condoms Work!

Wicked Witch Is Dead!

Even Ms. Tom Delay is a crook. Regardless of whether or not it was illegal for the Hammer's friend Ambramoff to hire Ms. Delay and pay her $115,000 to (literally) do NOTHING, it is simply corrupt, dishonest, and one more embarrassment for the GOP.

What will happen of all the Delays' employed as lobbyist now that the "Wicked Old Witch Delay Family" has fled the Lone Star State? The most insulting thing is that you (Ms. Delay) were gallivanting around DC speaking on "Christian Values" and the importance of the Bible in your life. You stink you wicked old witch. Lucky thing the job was so fraudulent because I can not imagine how you would have made it to work considering you had all those Bible talks and "Christian Values" speeches and lunches with the Stepford Wives over at the Concerned Women of America. You should repay your $115K salary Ms. Delay by sending a check to your favorite charitable organization.

Ms. Delay, you win our "Wicked Old Witch" Award for the month of August. Share it with Tom, please. Tom is a leader amongst the Wicked Old Witches in America spreading hate.

BUHHH BYE Tom Delay Family - Don't hurry back please!

Wicked Witch Clip>

TO THE DELAYS>>>There's no place like home, but no one in Texas wants you back.

RICK SCARBOROUGH>>>Do you still believe that Tom Delay was only a target of the anti Christian folks looking to further their "War on Christians" ? Absolutely not! Mr. Delay is an arrogant, homophobic corrupt politician. I hope he goes to jail. Wasn't it a sign early on when you learned that your buddy Tom was kicked out of Baylor University in Wacko?

Witch Is Dead

Tom Delay's American's For A Republican Majority PAC is officially CLOSED! Every time I hear that Delay has run into more bad luck, I have to play my "Ding Dong The Wicked Witch is Dead" Wizard of Oz clip. It just goes so well with Tom Delay in the news lately.

Rev. Rick Scarborough seems to think that Delay has been "persecuted" because of his strong "Christian" "Values" Hopefully the Federal Election Commission, IRS, and others have loooked into Vision America's Form 990's and Financials - because Delay most likely helped Rev. Rick Scarborough with the set up of "Vision America Mobilized, Inc."

All this Delay talk makes me wonder how the lefties War on Christians is progressing? "Poor old persecuted for being a Christian Tom Delay" "Poor old Mrs. Delay (who should be either in jail some day or shunned from existence for claiming to be such a good Church lady while accepting a high dollar job from Abramoff - a $115,000 job that required here to do absolutely NOTHING!


Under an agreement with the Federal Election Commission, Americans for a Republican Majority's political action committee agreed to pay a $115,000 fine and close. The agreement, reached July 7, was made public late Wednesday.

90 % OF GLBT STUDENTS DO NOT FEEL SAFE

Imagine the number of young GLBT identified kids who dig themselves farther into the closet and are more afraid to come out. The constant press and harrassment of the "family focused Christian organizations" is so shameful, damaging to youth, and not helping the GLBT suicide statistics either probably. Some of the crap coming from Focus on the Family is especially mean spirited, and not so very "Christian" . Gay Straight Alliances are important for GLBT students.

Full Story Here:

Despite the growing number of gay kids who come out in high school, still a
great majority do not feel safe at school. A new poll released Tuesday -- the
first of its kind -- shows their concern may be well-founded.
Ninety percent of LGBT students polled (vs. 62
percent of non-LGBT teens) say they have been harassed or assaulted in just this
past year.
The startling results come from a Harris Interactive poll
conducted on behalf of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN).
"From Teasing to Torment" is the first national survey on bullying in American
schools to include questions about anti-gay harassment.

Vision America Form 990s

Why does Vision America not list their Form 990's on their website, Rev. Rick Scarborough. We realize you don't want your "Patriot Pastors" to see your big salary, but at least tell us where all the money is coming from, and why it is going out to the same people who are in courts and in the press (Delay, Abramhoff, etc.etc.) A few questions come to mind about Vision America and their "ethics."

1. Is Cult leader Rev. Moon financing Vision America as reported?
2. If your not run by the Cult, then where is your funding coming from? Indian Tribes?
3. How involved was your friend of God Tom Delay in organizing Vision America?
4. Does Vision America pay for "consultants" to write your books for you?
5. Did you buy your own plane with leather seats or something last year?

Form 990's can be hard to find sometimes - especially by quack non profits with something to hide. Check out Charity Navigator, etc.

Preachers Who Lie #2

The American Family Ass'n is just a little upset that Wall Street asked Parents and Friends of Lesbians & Gays to ring the closing bell last month? Yes, it was historic! Yes, the numbers are based on real research from real experts! Real parents showing love for their children just rang your bell AFA.

If this is not the case AFA, then why does PFLAG, GLSEN, HRC, etc. all have so many MAJOR corporate supporters and sponsors, while none of you so called "Christian family groups" have even one? You poor ol "persecuted Christian associations" with all your millions of dollars...And you can't even get the invite to "ring the bell" on Wall Street. Obviously corporate American knows the value of good consumers, good research, good employees, and brand loyalty. Maybe they too are tired of your natstiness.

And by the way, you will not be asked to ring the closing bell on Wall Street when you continue to harass, email bomb, and announce ridiculous boycotts every a company that does anything you consider to be"gay friendly." I call it smart marketing. You boycott Ford, and I am running out the door to buy my new Volvo. You boycott P & G, and I' m buying ten extra boxes of Tide tomorrow. Considering all the millions of dollars and people you guys have brainwashed, the underdone you spend so much time hating are cleaning you clock, and ringing you bell. I'd suggest you get used to it, and STOP your gay hate campaigns. (AFA, TVC, CWA, Exodus, Eagle Forum, Vision America, Jerry, Pat)

ONCE AGAIN, INCLUSION WINS!

More AFA Lies> June 29, 2006

Wall Street Weak The New York Stock Exchange is going along with a sad
display by PFLAG. This homosexual support group has been invited to ring the
closing bell tomorrow on the Exchange. PFLAG is touting the buying power of
homosexuals and their supporters. According to a PFLAG press release "The
purchasing power of the GLBT community is estimated to be a massive $641 billion
today with projections reaching $1 trillion by 2012." Homosexuals are known for
exaggerating their numbers. But what really stands out is their desire to have
it both ways. They cannot cry discrimination and claim to be an oppressed
minority and then tell Wall Street, "By the way, we're an economic powerhouse."
Some of these pro-homosexual companies may soon have their bell rung by the tens
of millions of Christians who increasingly recognize the assault on our faith,
our values, and our families. My friend Don Wildmon of the American Family
Association is leading a boycott of Ford Motor Company for their anti-family,
pro-homosexual policies. Don's efforts persuaded me to buy a Chevy pickup over a
Ford. Eighty-three percent of Americans identify themselves as Christian and the
vast majority opposes same-sex marriage and the homosexual agenda that many on
Wall Street are promoting. We would do well to remember that we not only speak
with our lips, but sometime we speak louder with our wallets. I would encourage
you to visit Don's website and find out more. Additional Resources American Family

How far will the extremist fundamentalist preachers go in America before we start to scream back. In Georgia they did. Maybe Ralph Reed is the beginning of a new movement of people in the World who are also saying "Enough is Enough" you mean spirited bunch of so called "Christian" leaders. We have had it with your lies and hate.

Lets hope the Christian extremist preachers missed this news blurb in the Sunday paper! Their Christian "dominion"view is a global Christian government where gynecologists and gays are put to death or jailed, one with ten commandments in every school, and young little brainwashed homeschoolers out picketing Planned Parenthood. I am not all that certain what they plan to do with all the activist judges, Jews, Muslims, atheists, and other non Christians on the planet. They have no tolerance for anyone different than them. How tragic.

Somali Muslims warned of death
06/07/2006 11:36 - (SA)
Mogadishu - Somali Muslims who fail to perform daily prayers will be killed in accordance with Qur'anic law under a new edict issued by a leading cleric in the Islamic courts union that controlled the capital.
The requirement for Muslims to observe the five-times daily ritual under penalty of death was announced late on Wednesday and appeared to confirm the hardline nature of the increasingly powerful Sharia courts in Mogadishu.

Sex Changes in Iran

I never wanted to be a woman, really. Most of my gay friends are more masculine than any three national leaders you might pull off any of the so called "Christian Family Association" websites. (Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, Alan Chambers) etc. Maybe these Iranian nuts are using the same fabricated research plans as our USA based groups like AFA, Focus on the Family, etc.

What horrible decisions for some GLBT Iranians I guess. Do I stay and be forced to have my manhood wacked off with a governement ordered "sex change" , or do I get to Canada somehow and stay a man? (you know Canada, up North of us - where the Statue of Liberyy will be moved to soon) , ....or try to get papers and into the USA despite all the pastors who to jail me down the road, or fire me, or restrict my freedoms. Hell, I would be out buying a Parka and Mapquesting the shortest route from Iran to Quebec City. (love QC!)

Our governments lack of response to the murder of gay teens in Iran was totally PATHETIC.

"[The] Iranian government does not recognize homosexuals' rights in Iran," the group said. "They publicly declare that there are no legal limits for transsexuals and legally they can have a transgender surgery. ... They use this as an excuse to deny existence of homosexuals and believe that every one should be a heterosexual man or woman. According to this belief, everyone that has a 'problem' should have an operation and 'transform' her/himself."
After such surgery, transsexuals are left to fend for themselves, PGLO said.
"No social prospect is provided after the operation and many of them have to fall into prostitution in order to make a living," the activists said. "Denial of homosexuals in the country, their oppression and complete ignorance of their rights has caused many homosexuals to live in the worst psychological and social condition which results in frequent suicides, depression and seeking asylum to other countries."
Meanwhile, on July 19, activists in around 15 nations staged public protests, with PGLO's support, against Iran's alleged executions of gay men. The date was the first anniversary of the public hangings of teenage boys Mahmoud Asgari and Ayaz Marhoni in the Iranian city of Mashad -- either because they were lovers (according to local gays and some international activists) or for the crime of raping a 13-year-old boy (according to the government and other international activists).
The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission and Human Rights Watch opposed the public demonstrations, saying they've been unable to confirm that Asgari and Marhoni were hanged for being gay. The two organizations staged a competing event the same day in New York City to discuss strategies for dealing with Iran's confirmed abuse and torture of gay people.
Several activists who focus on international affairs claim to have gathered evidence that debunks IGLHRC's and HRW's doubts, but other international activists, and some journalists, remain concerned that the evidence is not conclusive.
In the days before and after July 19, individuals from the two camps engaged in an increasingly vitriolic exchange on public Internet mailing lists, questioning each other's tactics, competency, motivations and allegiances -- at times resorting to personal attacks.

HERO: Maya Keynes

You'll frequently find Alan Keyes sharing the same podium with Rick Scarborough at Vision America. Alan is the Christian rights dream ally - black men who have been brainwashed or forgotten what MLK was all about -- like Alan Keyes.

How uncomfortable it must be for a black preacher who fell into the right wing extremist trap to find himself at a "christian family values" rally (for example the ten commandments rally in alabama) sharing a podium with white preachers who have had a past history of association with the KKK (W. Otwell of East Texas), or a Judge Roy Moore who advocates death penalites for gays and lesbians, or a Rick Scarborough who advocates that people bring guns to church, or a Alan Keyes who rants about family values but kicked his own lesbian daugher out of the house and stopped paying for her college, or those annoying "ex gays" who just made the cover of Newsweek after being busted having a beer in a gay bar (John Paulk), and all the other clowns at the circus. The black girl in me is not sharing a stage with a KKK guy, no way.

ALAN KEYES IS A LOUSY PARENT AND A BAD CHRISTIAN !

I am so thankful my parents never kicked me out of the house, or stopped paying my college tuition for UT Austin, or sent me to a conversion camp run by unacredited quacks, or whatever.

My dad is a Christian and is pretty conservative, but not on issues imporant to my civil liberties, my future safety or job accomplishments, my happiness, or my freedom to love as I see fit to love. I wish my great parents could knock some sense into Alan Keyes and show him some parenting 101 skills, how to accept the beauty of the special daughter/child which God created for his family, etc. Personally, I would just have to tell him to stop being an ASSHOLE

Thanks to the Point Foundation who stepped in to help with Maya Keyes' Brown tuition.

FULL STORY at Washington Post
Now Maya Keyes -- liberal, lesbian and a little lost -- finds herself out on her
own. She says her parents -- conservative commentator and perennial candidate
Alan Keyes and his wife, Jocelyn -- threw her out of their house, refused to pay
her college tuition and stopped speaking to her.

Wolf Blitzer Interviews Maya

Amazing how many "Christian" parents kick their kids out of the house or cut them off financially in America. So sad and disruptive, so very unchristian. Despite all that meaness and turmoil, she still states in this interview that she loves her hateful parents, and that comments made by her dad about Mary Cheney were especially awful considering he already knew that his own child was a lesbian. I have zero respect for Alan Keyes. I dont want to be a part of his "renewed America" - he and the wife should are very hateful people.

Preachers Who Lie

Lately I have been just amazed at how stupid some of these national right wing religious extremist preachers have become. If they don't have the information supporting their propaganda and hate, they'll just create a "think tank" with all their millions. Where do they locate physicians who graduated from accredited medical schools who actually think their abstinence campaigns are saving lives? Or, scientists who think that no evolution information should be allowed in schools. This crap is just crazy, absurd stuff.

Where do preachers spreading hate and division in America (like Rev. Rick Scarborough at Vision America) go when they die, I wonder? Do I really want to go to a heaven full of them. Shit, I've already tolerated their nastiness and badgering for years on this earth, in this life.

Here is a good liar busted. Pat Robertson lied about his ability to leg press 2000 pounds, at 76 years of age? ...when the "record" is 665 pounds....

Excuse me, we're just not that stupid Rev. Pat Robertson. Good thing the guy is so damn old - maybe we will not have too many more foot in the mouth stories out of this old liar.

Nice article By STEVEN G. VEGH, The Virginian-Pilot.

"Robertson’s assertion caught the attention of Clay Travis , a columnist for
CBS SportsLine.com’s online magazine, who in a column earlier this week called
the claim impossible.Travis wrote that the all-time leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less . “Where in the
world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time?” Travis asked.The column evoked a flurry of incredulity and ridicule on blogs."
