Unbelievable! Christians airing TV series attacking gays from every angle [video]
”The way Americans think about homosexuality has changed over the last two decades, and if you think that’s an accident, think again. Two homosexual activists wrote the book in 1989, ‘After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays In the 90s.’ In that book, Marshall Kirk and Hunter Madsen laid out powerful, and sophisticated propaganda techniques to manipulate people into accepting the homosexual lifestyle. Hello, I’m Janet Parshall, and in this program, we’ll examine the agenda and the accomplishments of homosexual activists and the impact of their astonishing success on families and on our freedom of religion….”
Quote from Jan Parshall, the virulently anti-gay host of a startlingly awful piece of religious consevative propoganda that is currently set to air on broadcast and cable televisions across America. The series of videos are a product from the American Family Association that attacks gay, lesbian and transgender rights and equality from every imaginable side, constantly referring to the ”radical homosexual agenda” as being against freedom, children, family, and morals. It promotes ex-gay conversions, the social divide between African-American’s and gay’s interests, and the notion that gays are commiting violence against Christian Americans. The program’s main focus is one particular book of tactical proposal from 1989 called, ”After the Ball.” The show constantly takes information out of context and twists it to depict all gay rights achievements as being crafted through a coordinated effort based solely on this one book. Parshall and her fellow Christian commentators attack the equality for gays in education, the workplace, religion, marriage, and on and on. (SilencingChristians.com)
”I realize, in hind sight, that part of my homosexuality and what I was looking for in lesbian relationships, was that I was looking for my mother’s love in the arms of another woman. I was also looking for protection from men…. I knew that I wanted Jesus even more than my homosexulaity…. Break down in the relationship with a same-sex parent, gender confusion, peer rejection and labeling… there too many commom themes for me to ever believe that it was genetic…. But there are people who attempt this journey who don’t make it, who fall away, who either give up, or say it’s just too hard. And because there are some who — for whatever reason — stop the journey, doesn’t negate or invalidate the other people who have made it out of homosexuality. For example, people who say ‘I’ve tried to give up smoking, but it didn’t work for me, so it’s not possible to give up smoking.”’
Christine Sneeringer of Exodus and Worthy Creations in Fort Lauderdale, FL, two religious groups designed to advance the notion that one can pray the gay away. Even though she admits to not knowing how to live without homosexuality, she perpetuates the stereotyping notion that all gays have weak relationships with their parent of the same gender, and that being gay is some kind of an addiction, in this instance nicotine.

”This is the opening salvo in a campaign designed to denigrate LGBT Americans and deny us our basic rights. Just as our community is at a point where measures protecting millions of Americans heads to Congress and a willing President, the AFA unleashes 60 minutes of lies and distortions to scare voters. The AFA and its allies have never been ‘speechless’ when it comes to promoting their own agenda, and that’s driving a wedge in the very places where LGBT Americans work, live and even pray…. It’s telling that even the most basic forms of protection — stopping violent crimes of hate or ensuring that people are judged not for who they are, but for their work — lead the AFA to launch a national, paid campaign of hateful lies.”
Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese in response to the planned airing of a terribly slanted, anti-gay television program from Jan Parshall and the American Family Association. (HRC)
