Why do homos turn around and accuse guys like me of being gay when we tell you how sick, depraved, and disgusting you are?



Sex Scandal Threatens a Georgia Pastor’s Empire
By JAMES C. McKINLEY and ROBBIE BROWN

LITHONIA, Ga. — Over the last two decades, Bishop Eddie L. Long has built a religious and financial empire from scratch, transforming a small, faltering church into a modern cathedral with one of the largest and most influential congregations in the country.

Today, Bishop Long’s New Birth Missionary Baptist Church includes a multimillion-dollar network of charities and businesses, a private school and the Samson’s Health and Fitness Center, where he holds court and pumps iron with young people.

His message that God wants people to prosper has attracted celebrities, professional athletes and socialites, swelling the membership to 25,000. The church hosted four United States presidents for the funeral of Coretta Scott King in 2006.

The rapid expansion of the church — often called “Club New Birth” because it attracts so many young black singles — has also made Bishop Long a powerful political player, especially in DeKalb County, home to one of the wealthiest black communities in the country. The church has become a mandatory stop for many politicians — local, state and national — and Bishop Long supports candidates of both parties.

But Bishop Long’s reputation and sprawling enterprises now stand threatened by a sex scandal.

Four former members of a youth group he runs have accused him of repeatedly coercing them into homosexual sex acts, and of abusing his considerable moral authority over them while plying them with cash, new cars, lodging and lavish trips.

Bishop Long has denied the accusations in a letter sent to a local radio station and has promised to address them from the pulpit on Sunday. He declined, through his lawyer, to comment for this article.

The accusations are all the more explosive because Bishop Long styles himself a social conservative, rails against homosexuality and calls for a ban on same-sex marriage. His church even holds seminars promising to “cure” homosexuals.

“When this comes out, it gives at least the perception of hypocrisy — it’s like red meat to a lion, everyone’s pouncing on this story,” said the Rev. Timothy McDonald III, a friend of Bishop Long who heads the First Iconium Baptist Church. “This is the issue: how can you be against homosexuality and you are allegedly participating in it? That is the epitome of hypocrisy.”

The accusations center on the LongFellows Youth Academy, an exclusive group of teenage boys handpicked by Bishop Long for spiritual mentoring.

The boys went through a bonding ritual, known as a “covenant ceremony,” in which Bishop Long gave them jewelry and exchanged vows with them while quoting from Scripture as ceremonial candles burned, according to court complaints filed against the pastor. Reciting Bible verses, the pastor promised to protect them from harm and called them “spiritual sons.”

But four former members of the group now say the real purpose of the academy was to provide Bishop Long with young men whom he could lure into sex. The men say they were past the legal age of consent when Bishop Long initiated the relationships. Still, the charges have shaken Atlanta’s church-going society, spurring painful conversations from kitchen tables to talk radio...

PED BET GAY BISHOP RAPING BOYS

[garebear]

Bay,

Why do you think sexual suppression in the Catholic church leads to priests sexually abusing younger members of the same sex?

I mean, why don't they molest little girls, at least with some frequency?

And I'm not anti-gay, although the framing of this question may lead one to believe otherwise. And although I'm not homophobic, I've always been curious about this, but never able to even approach the question in a politically correct way.

Thanks.

Is this magazine cover obscene?  It's hard to believe that in 2011 some people are still living in the stone age.  


Elton John: Too gay for an Arkansas grocery store

Legendary singer-songwriter Elton John and his husband David Furnish announced the birth of their son via a surrogate on Christmas Day, and last week US Weekly ran exclusive photos of the adorable baby Zachary.

A photo of the family, the proud parents wearing cheesy grins and holding their sleeping son, graces the cover.

Sweet? Touching? Heart-warming? Actually, obscene according to Harps grocery store in Mountain Home, a tiny town in northern Arkansas.

When customers complained that the magazine cover was inappropriate for children, management decided to place shields over it.

The words "To protect our young shoppers" were printed on the shields, which are also used to conceal pornographic magazines.

Word spread about the censorship yesterday when Harps customer, Jennifer Huddleston, took a photo (below) of the shield and sent it out into the Twitter universe.

The news spread like wildfire and sparked outrage amongst civil rights groups. Arkansas's GLBT community made calls to the Harps corporate offices.

"It's Us magazine, not Hustler," said Randi Romo of the Center for Artistic Revolution, a non-profit dedicated to fairness and equality for all Arkansans. "Families come in all kinds of configurations and yes, sometimes that means they consist of same-sex couples raising their children. Many same-sex families live right here in Arkansas. The last census showed that there are same-sex couple households living in every single county in Arkansas."

Today, Harps, which operates grocery stores in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, released the statement below on its Web site indicating that the shields have been removed . . .

You're talking about Arkansas Bay, a place with a really limited gene pool if you know what I mean... I'm sure the majority of the populace there is anything but forward thinking...

I have started to get some gay Q&A via private messages over the last few days so I thought I would, again, invite your questions publicly.  As I have said previously, posting a question in this thread does not mean that you are gay or bi; it just means you are curious about something related to gay life and there is nothing wrong with that. 

Your questions may be based on rumor, gossip, something you’ve seen in person, in the movies, on television, heard from a friend, read in a magazine, etc.  I will give you the straight dope and answer any reasonable question as best I can.

India health minister calls homosexuality disease
By MUNEEZA NAQVI, Associated Press

India's health minister has derided homosexuality as an unnatural "disease" from the West, drawing outrage Tuesday from activists who said the comments set back the country's campaign for gay rights and its fight against HIV.

The comments Monday by Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad at a conference on HIV/AIDS in the Indian capital echoed a common refrain in the conservative South Asian nation that homosexuality is a Western import.

"Unfortunately this disease has come to our country too ... where a man has sex with another man, which is completely unnatural and should not happen, but does," Azad said.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Congress Party leader Sonia Gandhi and a slew of government ministers were also present at the conference. There was no immediate comment from the health ministry, and the prime minister's office refused to discuss the Azad's remarks.

Anjali Gopalan, who heads the NAZ Foundation, a rights group that works with HIV positive people and promotes equal rights for homosexuals, said Azad's comments were deeply troubling coming from the health minister of a country fighting a tough battle against HIV infections.

"These comments help no cause. It's definitely not going to help in our fight against HIV," she told The Associated Press.

Roughly 2.5 million Indians have HIV, making it the country with the largest number of people living with the virus in Asia.

Experts say the marginalization of gay people keeps them isolated and makes it harder for HIV/AIDS awareness messages to reach them.

"If you're not going to invest in community building then gay people will continue to be marginalized," Gopalan said.

In 2009, the Delhi High Court struck down a colonial era law — Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code — that made sex between people of the same gender punishable by up to 10 years in prison. While actual criminal prosecutions were rare, the law was frequently used to harass people.

The court ruling was noteworthy in a country where even heterosexual sex is rarely discussed openly.

Over the last decade homosexuals have slowly gained a degree of acceptance in a few parts of India, especially its big cities. Many bars have gay nights, and some high-profile Bollywood films have dealt with gay issues. The last two years have also seen large gay pride parades in New Delhi and other big cities such as Mumbai and Kolkata.

Still, being gay remains deeply taboo in most of the country, and many homosexuals hide their sexual orientation from friends and families.

"How can the health minister say something so unscientific and irrational?" Nitin Karani, a gay rights activist told a television new channel. "He needs to apologize immediately or he needs to go."

This is not the first time Azad's words have embarrassed the government.

A few years ago, he suggested Indians watch more late night television instead of having sex as a means to stem population growth in the nation of 1.2 billion people.

how is homosexuality portrayed in the media in the US?

here in the UK its pretty much the norm these days. even to see men kissing each other open mouthed, with tongues 

all the popular evening soaps have gay couples/relationships. and these programmes go out from 6.30 in the evening onwards.

tbh, its way past overkill. you can hardly watch anything that doesn't feature men fucking each other.

It seems you disapprove.  Do you disdain such displays when they occur between men and women?  Or with interracial couples?  Or perhaps with people of different faiths or ethnic backgrounds?  The reality is not everyone thinks the way you do or shares your values.  That is something everyone on this planet is going to have to come to terms with.  Here is a radical idea: kill your TV!

Seriously, the real question here is how can any country thrive with such ignorant people in charge?  Homosexuality is a Western import?  Didn’t Ahmadinejad say something similar not too long ago?  It is hard to believe this is happening in 2011.  We might as well be living in caves… hunting and gathering…

Homosexuality 101 literally!

Gov. Brown signs bill requiring teaching of gay accomplishments
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation Thursday that makes California the first state in the nation to require the inclusion of the contributions of gay, lesbian and transgender Americans in school history lessons and textbooks.

The legislation addresses omissions in history books, according to Gil Duran, a spokesman for the governor.

Brown issued a statement in which he called the legislation an "important step forward for our state.’’

"History should be honest,’’ Brown said. "This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books.’’

"It’s an important step forward for the state of California,’’ Duran said. "It revises existing law to make sure people are not excluded from history books. History should reflect reality."

The bill by state Sen. Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) had sparked hot debate in the Legislature where it was pushed through by the Democratic majority. Republicans argued it forces a "gay agenda" on students, but Leno said it would reduce bullying by educating young people about the accomplishments of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, community.

“Today we are making history in California by ensuring that our textbooks and instructional materials no longer exclude the contributions of LGBT Americans,” Leno said.  “Denying LGBT people their rightful place in history gives our young people an inaccurate and incomplete view of the world around them.’’

The governor’s decision was criticized by Benjamin Lopez of the Anaheim-based Traditional Values Coalition, who said the schools should be focusing on doing better on important skills such as reading, writing and math.

"It’s a sad day for the state of California,’’ said Lopez, legislative analyst and advocate for the group. "We have failed at our core educational mission and yet we are now going to inject gay studies into the classrooms. It's absurd and offensive.’’
