Obsession & Intolerance

If this is all a very benign and beneficial efforts, why the fuck is BlattPutz still gay?

 
 

Maybe I need more coffee, but I don’t even understand what the fuck he’s saying about “obsessive” “ex-gays”.

 
 

“Gay Patroit” reminds me of a person in an abusive relationship that is in denial: “My black eye? I ran into a door. That bruise? I slipped and fell. My broken arm? writer’s cramp. No, they love me, they would never hurt me! It’s you guys that are mean!”

 
 

As a gay, I also welcome the views of the ex-gay folks, Dan ix so right here, libtards.

I also think the Phelps family’s signs are adorable, hate crimes happen only to those asking for it by breathing all gay in public, Adam and Steve just sounds silly and Kevin Spacey is straight.

 
 

Dan the Putz has himself a little niche from which to speak with what he hopes is some form of authority. Granted, it’s a little niche. Granted, the authority seems pretty thin.

But it’s all Dan’s.

And.

Possessing the Demon.

It’s not obsessive, it’s free will, baby, ’cause there’s an app for that. They just don’t get it.

Camper,

That was what we call, pillow talk, baby…

 
 

How much does this schmuck get paid to write this drivel? Must be a hefty sum, to sell out one’s self like that. I see no other logical explanation.

 
 

Sadly, this is Blatt’s usual level of “analysis” — nebulous, unfocused, and making enough logical leaps and drawing enough false equivalencies that he can always say “No, I wasn’t talking about that.” (Which he actually does in the comments.)

Frankly, anyone who can decry protests again the ex-gay “message” without ever examining what that message is doesn’t really merit attention. But unfortunately, like anyone else with Internet access, he has a soapbox.

 
 

Camper,

You must have an editorial cartoon section – right?

Something like this?

And Dan (since we know you lurk around here), do you understand the people you support in such things as the ex-gay movement are the very people, who if unfettered by law or societal mores, would beat you to death because of who you choose to allow to touch your pee-pee? Does this register with you?

Word of the day: “collaborationist.”

 
 

Sweet jesus, I got off the boat.

I need a hot, scalding shower now. And Lava soap.

 
 

Her rant is against Al Jazeera.

Yeah. Which is odd: seems like free market mechanisms are favoring the news she hates, so she’s reduced to asking for government help fighting it.

Years and years ago, I remember a conservative blogger who smugly proclaimed that we would win the information war because “[t]heir government and their culture and especially their religion had relied on tight control of information given to their people in order to indoctrinate them to get them to act in a way which is to the advantage of the leaders. Our system, on the other hand, is designed precisely so that it works best when our people are best informed and make decisions for themselves.

Years later, Hillary Clinton admits that Al Jazeera’s viewership has gone way up because it’s actually real news, in a way that American news can’t really claim to be anymore. Wonder where that snide little douchebag is now?

 
 

“Collaborationist.”

Yes, that would be it. Well said.

 
 

I always get out of the boat when there’s a link to the Gay Putz. The tap-dancing in the comments section is always worthwhile.

You’d think though, that maybe one of the Putz’ gay followers could break it down into terms even simple enough for the Putz to understand: “ex-gay” ministries and programs are offensive even in their premise, which is: “there’s something wrong with you that we cannot accept, and YOU have to change so we can accept you.” That’s LOVE?

Then of course there’s the fact that most of these “programs” are targeted at teens, and the teens themselves are not the ones choosing to submit themselves to the tender mercies of the ex-gay counselors.

But the thing that always bothers me most about this stuff is what a perversion it is of the religion these folks claim to represent. “Being gay” didn’t even make the top ten as far as sins are concerned, yet it’s the only one they choose to focus on. They seem to be fine with lying, cheating and stealing (it’s why they vote Republican!), all of which are called out, but the only one, according to them, that will send a person to hell is “being gay”. I had quite the in-depth, though friendly, debate with a fundamentalist Baptist preacher over this one time, and pretty much debated him into speechlessness just by noting that in the Bible Jesus didn’t say “love thy neighbor – unless he’s a fag.” The point being, of course, that the admonishment is that you’re to love your neighbor no matter WHAT kind of sinner he is, because when it comes to sin, everyone’s guilty. You don’t get an “out” just because you’ve chosen to identify ONE supposed “sin” – invariably one in which you do not yourself engage – as being particularly bad, because otherwise you’ve rendered the “love thy neighbor” admonishment meaningless. And that “hate the sin but love the sinner” crap doesn’t cut it either – that’s just a fancy way of trying to dodge taking responsibility for sitting in judgement on another person’s worth or value, which of course is another big no-no.

 
it’s either one nation under god or bite my ass and leave!
 

I don’t understand why this faggot is still a faggot.

All this.

There’s more than one inconsistency in the Christian handling of the gay “sin.” First off, it’s from Leviticus, half of which apparently doesn’t apply anymore, which doesn’t make any sense. No one’s ever explained to me how people decided one day that eating shellfish isn’t a sin anymore, but being gay still is.

For another, there’s an uneven application of the “free will” factor. Jesus said “feed the poor.” As modern evangelicals will tell you, he didn’t mean the government should force you (with taxes) to feed the poor, but that you should do it of your own free will otherwise it’s worthless. Yet, they still expect the government to enforce sexual morality by law, and don’t give a damn about free will in that respect…???

For yet another, they don’t enforce their sexual morality laws evenly. Divorce, by any standard, is a much bigger threat to traditional marriage than gay marriage ever will be, yet no one’s seriously suggested making that illegal. Pre/extra-marital sex is immoral according to the same passages that ban gay sex, yet no one’s suggesting that those things should be banned. Only gay sex is a target.

I could go on, but the bottom line is, anti-gay laws are a cheap way for conservative Christians to be moral – they get to rigidly enforce a Biblical statute, but (unlike laws against free sex, divorce, unfree will or shellfish) one that doesn’t affect their life in the slightest. All the fuzzy feelings of Enforcing God’s Will, at zero cost.

Yes. And it has the added advantage of being a statute against not an action, but an identity, which allows them to “overlook” transgressions that occur once or only a few times, such as pre-marital sex, divorce, etc. They can construct an out with “I repented of my sin and asked for forgiveness” which is handy for excusing that one-night stand or divorce. But for a gay person, this out isn’t available, because if you are daily “repenting” and having to ask for forgiveness for being who you are, then the problem is YOU, not your actions.

Dan from comments on the post over at his place:

” This is a post about freedom and free speech and a post where I criticize professional ex-gays and, by extension, their movement.

Do hope that those helping individuals in the ex-gay programs show a greater understanding for and appreciation for those who may hold political views at odds with the gay mainstream and can understand how the pressure to conform in our community might make some people feel alienated.

(PS I’ve read enough stuff about and by Exodus and other “ex-gay” ministries to know that while they have some bizarre ideas of human development, they are not haters nor are they bigots. Ignorant indeed of the complexities of the human psyche, but not hateful. I’ve found more hateful rhetoric on certain left-wing websites than on theirs.)”

Dr. Dick nailed it.

Does this register with you?

It does not register with Dan because no one wants to touch Dan’s peepee. That is at the root of his problems. Well, there’s the chicken-egg thing; his neurotic ugliness came first and is the cause of no one wanting to touch his peepee. Or being on the same planet with him.

Chris, Jennifer et al., several of the big psychological associations have declared that “reparative therapy” is worse than useless, it is actually harmful to those people receiving subjected to it. Whoda thunk?

Then too, it’s never more thN a month or two between reports of “ex-gay therapists” sucking the demons out of those boys.

And look into Wayne Besen and Truth Wins Out for a devastating criticism of the ex-gay bullshit.

Oh, they want those things banned too. They’re just waiting till they get the first domino down, then they’ll go after the others. It’s just like their attack on legal abortion; once that goes, it’ll be birth control next.

Of course, you’re absolutely right about the hypocrisy of claiming that every word of Leviticus is an absolute requirement, except the words about eating shrimp, forgiving all debts every 7 years, and wearing cotton-polyester blends.

“Then of course there’s the fact that most of these “programs” are targeted at teens, and the teens themselves are not the ones choosing to submit themselves to the tender mercies of the ex-gay counselors.”

I wonder how many teen boys in these religioso households have figured out to pretend to be fighting the gay urges just so they can gets ’em some fine preacher’s daughter persuasion. I mean, how far do these jokers go? If they have a teen boy in their cult…err congregation…and he begs them to help him fight the gay inside, will they offer their biblical daughters to win him back for straight jeebus? Will they keep the girls “on call” for any potential relapses?

 
 

April may be the cruelest month but March wasn’t too hot, either. If you could help out, we’d sure appreciate it.

 
 

…course, I meant to say straight teen boys pretending to be fighting the gay urges to get some “help.”
