Comments on: AFTAH To Hold Conference To Try And Remedy “Homosexual Agenda” http://lezgetreal.com/2010/07/aftah-to-hold-conference-to-try-and-remedy-homosexual-agenda/ A Gay Girl's View on the World Fri, 25 May 2012 17:37:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jennifer White http://lezgetreal.com/2010/07/aftah-to-hold-conference-to-try-and-remedy-homosexual-agenda/comment-page-1/#comment-58239 Jennifer White Mon, 02 Aug 2010 07:32:57 +0000 http://lezgetreal.com/?p=40704#comment-58239 This is was forwarded to me: Beginning August 4th a group which calls itself Americans For Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) is organizing what they call an “academy” to “train young people (as well as older pro-family advocates) how to answer ‘gay’ activist ...misinformation and fight the homosexual-bisexual-transsexual agenda.” AFTAH has a long history of telling lies about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people and recently was designated a “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. AFTAH’s literature about their forthcoming “academy” calls the LGBT rights movement “destructive to America” and invites people to donate money to fund scholarships for people as young as 14-years-old to attend. We feel strongly that youth should not be taught to hate their peers and thus fuel the cycle of self-loathing, depression and suicide which too many LGBTQ youth experience. We feel that bigotry must be vocally and publicly opposed, especially when haters try to recruit young people. We thus invite you to join us in a protest against the opening “lecture-banquet” of the AFTAH event at 5:30 PM, Wednesday, August 4 at the AFTAH headquarters, 25W560 Geneva Road, Carol Stream, IL (there will be organized transportation from downtown Chicago). We invite you and your organization to become co-sponsors of this protest and help us organize others to attend – simply email LGBTliberation@aol.com or telephone 773.209.1187 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 773.209.1187 end_of_the_skype_highlighting In difficult economic times, the message of hating any minority is especially dangerous and must be forthrightly opposed. Please discuss this protest with others in your organization very soon and contact us with your endorsement so that we can have a united voice against anti-LGBT hate. Thank you for your time. Yours sincerely, Eric Broad Andy Thayer Gay Liberation Network I think there should be protests all three days. Anyone in Chicago?? This is was forwarded to me:

Suppose that homosexuality is found to be genetic, or at least have a largely genetic component. I'll bet the religious wrong will suddenly, forcefully, do a 180 on the pro-life issue. "Gotta get rid of the homos before they are born that way!" Wait, what am I saying? That would kill Peter's cash-cow of the lucrative "ex-gay" business (scams). I guess that the homophobes won't change their minds on abortion after all. I have a scenario for Peter.
