Perkins and Fisher, the Real Terrorists

Even with DADT soon to be relegated to history books, we must not let our guard down.  The Family Research Council (FRC) and The American Family Association (AFA) are spewing such venom, the likes of which are not just shameful, but embarrassing on a global stage. You may remember that the President of FRC, Tony Perkins, blamed gay suicide victims for being “abnormal.”  You probably also remember Bryan Fisher, of AFA, calling on Christian conservatives “to breed gays and progressives out of existence.”  I would like to just ignore these vicious haters, but as a gay man I don’t have the luxury of ignoring them.  These men and their organizations wield a great deal of power and influence.  Their hate and fear SELL.  Their money speaks to the conservatives in congress, the very conservatives that fought against the repeal of DADT, the very conservatives that want to protect and preserve an elite, white, super wealthy class.  The LGBTQ community must remain vigilant and continue to speak truth to power.  Unlike the idiot Log Cabin Republicans who vote against our best interest and the interest of civil rights in general.  None of us can rest while some of us are oppressed.  To see the entire article, click here.
