Coalition for Marriage and Family Inc. Uses Hate and Fear in Soliciting Donations

An email that someone intercepted is being passed around by the radical right here in our state that asks we stop the showing of "For the Bible Tells Me So", then asks for money. First and foremost this group is a business and needs money to stay alive. As one of my friends said on another blog "I look forward to the day when groups like this can't fool enough people to stay in business."


I will write commentary in italics to coincide with what is said:


Help us stop the indoctrination in our schools

Indoctrination refers to the concept that there is an organised conspiracy by all GLBT people to turn children homosexual by teaching them that violence and hatred is wrong. Research has shown that discrimination is a learned problem and that the best way to counter that problem is by education. Notice that people seldom talk about what is being taught since that would take away from the fear factor.

Dear Suckers Friends,

Every once in a while, something comes up that reminds us why we fight, and why the tireless work that we do is so important.

The film, "For the Bible tells me so," played last week at Belmont High School, co-sponsored by the Belmont High School Gay Straight Alliance and the First Church of Belmont.

Now we can't view voluntarily what we want? This seems akin to the days of book burning.

This piece of homosexual propaganda asks, "Is the Bible an excuse to hate?" as it attempts to reconcile homosexuality and biblical scripture. Activities like these in schools are why we fight this fight, and we need your help.

Here is a review of the Movie. Note that true bigots always uses the word "homosexual" instead of "gay" which is the preferred vernacular. This is similar to calling a black person a nigger, and they know that. They also pretend that demonizing the entire GLBT community by saying we have a "Gay Agenda" to "indoctrinate" children is not hateful. Bigot is a word use often questioned, so let's review it's meaning:

Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Main Entry: big·ot
Pronunciation: \ˈbi-gət\
Function: noun
Etymology: French, hypocrite, bigot
Date: 1660
: a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

The filmmakers suggest that only those with a fifth grade understanding of God would perceive homosexuality to be wrong. It calls using the Bible to condemn homosexuality as an "old trick," and even compares living a homosexual lifestyle to eating shrimp. It portrays anyone who opposes same-sex marriage as a hateful bigot.

The next time some Christian tells you that treating GLBT people with dignity, respect, and giving them equality is wrong, ask where Christ said this. The truth is He never did, not once. Those who came after His death like Paul said things that are under serious scrutiny. One thing Christ said that does not need translating is we should treat our neighbors like brothers and sisters. When you call your neighbors names they don't appreciate and lobby against them in the community spreading false accusations of harm, then the shoes fits, and you ARE the hateful bigot you pretend not to be.

Sorry, but I am not going to allow my website to further their efforts.

Thank you and God Bless.

Thank you good people who have allowed me your time in reading this. Hopefully you will pass this message on to your friends and make sure they don't get fooled into giving money in support of bigotry.

To those of you who are so convinced that your opposition to my equality is right I have but one question; if you're right whatcha got to hide? Since you have the obvious correct point of view people will of course see your point once all is said and done, right? ;)
