'Gays' Incite Hatred by Mocking Jesus with Last Supper Take

A taxpayer-supported "gay" celebration featuring a poster portraying Jesus Christ and his disciples as "half-naked homosexual sadomasochists," has come under heavy fire from major Christian groups demanding that California lawmakers condemn it.

The poster by organizers of the Folsom Street Fair, sponsored in part by Miller Brewing, features a black homosexual Christ and replaces the bread and wine representing Christ's blood and body with sadomasochistic sex toys.

"A picture's worth a thousand words," said Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues with Concerned Women for America.

Barber said his group wants California's elected officials – including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer – to "publicly condemn this unprovoked attack against Christ and His followers."

The annual street event, which includes displays of nudity and sexual activity – is scheduled for the end of September 2007.

"We further challenge the media to cover this affront to Christianity with the same vigour as recent stories about cartoon depictions of Muhammad and other items offensive to the Muslim community," he said.

Barber said homosexual activists "disingenuously call Christians 'haters' and 'homophobes' for honouring the Bible, but then lash out in this hateful manner toward the very people they accuse."

He pointed out San Francisco taxpayers help foot the bill for the fair by providing police support – to shut down several city blocks and provide security.

A police lieutenant confirmed officers are on the clock during the event, not paid for by the organizers.

The Folsom Street Fair website also lists San Francisco's environment department and its Grants for the Arts – which comes out of the hotel tax fund – as sponsors.

"The most unimaginable and vile acts of debauchery are commonplace during the fair," Barber said.

"Senator Larry Craig was arrested and driven out of the Senate for allegedly soliciting public 'gay' sex, yet during this event the city of San Francisco suspends the law and allows 'gay' men and women to parade the streets fully nude, many having sex – even group orgies – in broad daylight, while taxpayer-funded police officers look on and do absolutely nothing."

Barber encouraged mainstream media to cover the event with cameras in hand.

"There's an unbelievable news story here," he said. "The Folsom Street Fair is reminiscent of biblical Sodom and Gomorrah, and the media should document exactly what the city of San Francisco is allowing to occur – in public – in the name of 'tolerance.'"

The Ten Big Myths of Pro-'Gay' Beliefs

Have you absorbed some of these unsupportable ideas? Check and see:

Myth #1: "Homosexuality is no more risky than heterosexuality."

On the contrary, public health studies reveal that homosexual practices are much higher-risk than those of heterosexuals-- and heterosexuals aren’t behaving all that well!

Homosexuals are at much higher risk for many sexually transmitted diseases, including not just HIV, but also syphilis, gonorrhea, human papilloma virus (HPV), hepatitis, chlamydia, and a whole group of infections called “gay bowel syndrome.” The promiscuous and often harmful sex practices of homosexuals are the cause. The legalization of “gay” bars and bathhouses has only accelerated this epidemic. No condom can ever make a practice like anal intercourse “safe,” despite the claims of advocates who say otherwise.

Also much more prevalent among “gays” and “lesbians” is use of alcohol and drugs. Mental health issues are also reported more frequently by homosexuals, including compulsive behaviors. Even though the comparative dangers of homosexuality are well-documented, very little public discussion occurs, so there’s a false impression that the picture can’t be too bad, when the reality is widespread infection and sometimes, early death.

Myth #2: "Hate crimes laws are needed to protect homosexuals against the constant threat of violence by ‘homophobic’ people."

Adding more penalties to laws when the crime involves a homosexual victim is ridiculous. Why? Simply because it sets up a system of inequality. Homosexuals become more “worthy” than other people who are victimized in the same way. A little old lady who is robbed and assaulted would see her attacker punished less than the attacker of a homosexual, for the exact same crime.

There are already laws in this country punishing harassment, assault, murder, and so on. Murder is always horrendous, no matter what thoughts or beliefs are behind it. Aren’t all crimes, especially murder, a product of some level of “hate”? Hate crime laws, by adding a layer of penalties if a crime involves homosexuals, are a back-door way to gain more status for homosexuality, and put an undeserved eye of suspicion on anyone who doesn’t approve of it. The fact is that the vast majority of Brits don’t approve of homosexuality, but also would never harm anyone who is a homosexual, either. There is no convincing evidence for an epidemic of violence against homosexuals.

Myth #3: "It’s been proven that homosexuality is genetic...in fact, about 10% of the population is homosexual."

Uh, no! The reality is that no such evidence exists. It’s true that some groups have officially accepted homosexuality, but the fine print reveals that no studies or verification is ever cited to back this up. It’s more a popular trend and wishful thinking than a proven fact---kind of like believing the earth is flat.

There is actually a lot of evidence that homosexuality cannot be inborn. Many people engage in homosexuality for a time, then leave it behind. Ex-homosexuals have told their stories and more are coming forward all the time. Some people live as heterosexuals for decades and then leave a spouse for a homosexual relationship. Also, certain celebrities (Anne Heche, Sinead O’Connor) have had well-publicized changes in preference. And bisexuality is choice, by definition.

Only when it suits political goals do homosexual groups insist that there are fixed, unchanging “orientations.” At other times, they are big promoters of “fluid” sexuality with no boundaries. If this is so, why can’t the best options be debated without antagonism?

Myth #4: "Same sex marriages do not threaten current British families in any way, so homosexuals should be given the chance to marry, just like everyone else."

If the definition of marriage changes legally, it would change for everyone. Many other forms of marriage like polygamy would also become legal. Group marriage is quietly supported now by “gay rights” groups, and is under serious consideration in Canada.

Because of the differing values of homosexuals, legalizing same sex marriage would substantially change what “marriage” means. As social and legal norms change, there would be many unwanted consequences for families. For instance, all children would be taught, against the laws of nature, that they can marry someone of the same or of the opposite sex when they grow up. Their parents would be unable to object to such immoral, unnatural and dangerous teaching. Experts predict such misinformation will cause developmental insecurity in many children and encourage experimental behaviour, with disastrous outcomes.

And, current homosexuals do have the right to marry, just like anyone else, i.e. they can marry a person of the opposite sex, because that’s what marriage is and has always been. Everyone has this right, equally; to marry one person from the opposite sex!

Myth #5: "Ex-homosexuals are fakes; it’s harmful to try to force someone to change their orientation."

Anyone who takes the time to actually read ex-homosexuals’ life stories would have trouble saying the experiences are not authentic. There are currently hundreds of organizations helping people leave the homosexual lifestyle. Not only are they not phony, they are having an amazing impact because (again), homosexuality is not an inborn condition. That’s why the “gay” lobby is desperate to create false and misleading impressions. It’s ironic that groups claiming to stand for “choice” and “tolerance” act like rigid bigots when discussing ex-homosexuals.

Myth # 6: "Only religions that are tolerant of homosexuality should be allowed to express their opinions in public venues like schools and campuses."

Think about the implications of this intolerant position, which is being adopted all across the United Kingdom by people who claim to be “unbiased” and “inclusive”. This sounds very much like fascism (“homo-fascism”?), yet many young people have embraced this view, which is built on some of the unfactual myths listed here. What are people afraid of? This flies in the face of what British Democracy has always stood for: religious freedom, impartial debate, and free speech. There are many excellent reasons to oppose homosexuality and it’s not just religious people who do so, but those who are willing to genuinely examine all the facts.

There are also many misunderstandings about what Christianity actually teaches. Read on.

Myth #7: "God loves everyone, so homosexuality is fine."

God does not love sin, which is the reason Christ died and rose again--to save us from sin. Homosexual activity is directly the opposite of positive, healthy choices, and scientists remain unconvinced that any humans are born to become homosexual. Plenty of evidence attests to the damage to the body, mind and spirit resulting from homosexual sex.

Myth #8: "The Bible does not oppose homosexuality."

If the Bible’s clear passages against homosexuality can’t be believed, it isn’t believable on anything. Consider: “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22) And, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.” (Romans 1:26-27) And these aren’t the sole passages, but the others are similar and convey the same message: Don’t!

Myth #9: "Real Christian love calls for acceptance of homosexuality."

On the contrary, the authentic Christian is characterized by devotion to truth and love as revealed by Christ, not mushy ideas formed by today’s worldly trends. While Christ is often merciful to those who have sinned, He never excuses sin or calls it less than what it is. John the Baptist’s primary message to the world to prepare for Christ was not a call for tolerance; it was a call to repentance. (Matthew 3:2; Mark 1:4) Christ told the woman caught in adultery, “go, and sin no more.” (John 8:11) Love as exemplified by Christ was always framed with His truth and righteousness. Christ said, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me” (John 14:21) and “If a man love me, he will keep my words” (John 14:23) Real love starts with love of Christ and all He taught.

The passages, Matthew 7:1 - “Judge not, that ye be not judged”, and Matthew 7:20 - “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”, taken together, caution us to judge carefully without hypocrisy, not to withhold judgment. In the very same chapter, Christ completes the thought with, “first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.” (Matthew 7:5)

Myth #10: "Jesus never said anything about homosexuality."

And Jesus is never quoted on the subjects of rape or wife beating either. Would that mean that these actions are okay? Christ was God on earth, and thus was and is the Author of all the Old Testament proclamations on sexual morality. The Jews were more than familiar with this, so there was a lot that didn’t need to be re-stated in the New Testament. And Christ specifically described marriage as being from the beginning between one man and one woman. (Matthew 19:4-6; Mark 10:6-9). Christ and the apostles still believed that sexual morality did not include homosexual acts.
