The American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer has sunk to a new, disturbing low with his anti-gay statements. In two separate tweets
last night, he called for an “Underground Railroad to deliver innocent
children from same-sex households.” In one tweet he was referring to
the sad story of Lisa Miller,
who, after declaring herself ex-gay, kidnapped her daughter away to
Central America to prevent her former partner from having any custody.
(She is still being tracked by federal agents as a fugitive of the law.)
In the other tweet, Fischer referred to the testimony of a individual named Robert Oscar Lopez, who blames all of his social problems on being raised by his mom and her lesbian partner. Here’s a sampling:
Inside, however, I was confused. When your home life is
so drastically different from everyone around you, in a fundamental way
striking at basic physical relations, you grow up weird. I have no
mental health disorders or biological conditions. I just grew up in a house so unusual that I was destined to exist as a social outcast.[...]
Life is hard when you are strange. Even now, I have very few friends
and often feel as though I do not understand people because of the
unspoken gender cues that everyone around me, even gays raised in
traditional homes, takes for granted. Though I am hard-working and a
quick learner, I have trouble in professional settings because
co-workers find me bizarre.
Perhaps unfamiliar with the concepts of self-fulfilling prophesies
and internalized homophobia, this man’s odd testimony seems to attack
gay parenting merely because he believes his bisexual mother’s decision
to live with a woman made it a struggle for him to identify as bisexual
himself. Unlike his mother, his preference seems to be to conform to
heteronormative society, and he feels unable to do that because he feels
he wasn’t properly conditioned by archaic gender stereotypes. Given the
added incentive to defend Mark Regnerus’ “bullshit” faulty study
attacking gay parenting, he is clearly trying to pin his panoply of
personal problems on his mother (and all same-sex parents as a result.)
His story is not a valid representation of anything except his own
unique perception of the world.
And yet, Bryan Fischer believes it to be the perfect example of why
the children of same-sex parents should be kidnapped away for their
protection — that they are the equivalent of slaves who need to be
rescued. This is incredibly dangerous rhetoric that has the potential to
do great harm. How much destruction could self-declared “Harriet
Tubmans” do to same-sex families, motivated by Fischer’s claims? More
than ever, the “culture war” is a direct attack on the lives of LGBT and
their families.

· A study of homosexual men in the Netherlands published in the journal AIDS found that the "duration of steady partnerships" was 1.5 years.[6]
· In his study of male homosexuality in Western Sexuality: Practice and Precept in Past and Present Times, Pollak found that "few homosexual relationships last longer than two years, with many men reporting hundreds of lifetime partners."[7]
· In Male and Female Homosexuality, Saghir and Robins found that the average male homosexual live-in relationship lasts between two and three years.[8]
"Speaking of Big Brother how about the BO admin's science czar who proposed to have abortions legal up to the age of 2 and wanted to put Pat Robertson has never come out with anything like this, and frankly I and most other Christians have never heard of Fischer, oddly we all know Holdren who wanted to have abortions up to the age of 2 years old and put sterililant in the drinking water. At least you should know him he's one of the Prez's Czars, not to mention the "fearless leader" of Earth First who want to pare down the Earth's population from it's current 7 billion to 100 million 'or so'.
Might want to quit talking about all those "Christian crazies".
into the drinking water?"
Or maybe your OWS "Crazies"......
Oh and joanie, the 1984 book was based on Socialists, well like you and your prefered policies.....Oddly Jeanie, you are the epitome of the "two sides of "Big Brother", or do you live in a town were you can have a "Big Gulp" over 16 ozs, smoke in your own home or have your children eat the bagged lunch you sent them to school with?
They would have left those attempting, as a result of the Emancipation to advance beyond the culture they knew, now into one opposite they were most familiar with to advance their education and employment opportunities, would be left south of the Ohio river.
Please, guys, believe me. Take it from this Christian that not all of us are phucking whack jobs!!

It is well-known that children raised in same-sex couple's homes are just as loved, just as cared for, just as educated and just as secure (and in many cases, even more) than in hetero couple's homes...
And, furthermore, it does NOT mean that they are being "brought up" and "taught" the gay lifestyle... It DOES mean that they're being brought up more well-rounded and more informed...
I say we go old school.
Here's a post where they are trying to make an absurdity (gay adoption) make an absurdity (gay marriage) appear normal. It isn't.
The left's exploitation of children to push the gay agenda is the most twisted, sickest, mental disorder ever. Liberalism IS a mental disorder. Children should be adopted for the benefit of the child, not the gay couple. Gay couples do not and CAN NOT provide what a normal man/woman combination offers. Don't even challenge me on that because you won't win.
Watch this. You'll have all the left wingers on Sodahead ganging up to swarm this question in the effort to make gay marriage appear normal. It isn't. The whole agenda is a disorder. And quit exploiting children in the process.
Kidnapping is still illegal.
