I know I'm not alone in thinking this, in fact, I'm sure most people must think similarly about it to me. Someone spends large amounts of time declaring the evils of homosexuality, insisting, insisting, it's a disorder even though we actually have quite reasonable explanations for it - I immediately think they are probably a big huge homo.
It's especially virulent in religious circles, mainly Christian religions but I'm sure there are plenty of representative from many religions out there. Just this week, Tom Brock, the guy who gave us the good news that gayness causes hurricanes, and also runs a GBLT support group (support as in 'supporting you as you leave your life of base sinful wickedness and come into the warm arms of God, hey do you like tithing, I like tithing') was outed by Lavender magazine, which I think is just lovely.
In the video in which he explains that the passing of a vote to accept gay and lesbian clergy as part of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) caused a hurricane which was present at the time of a vote, he also claims that the statement passed with 66.6% of the vote. I've got the numbers right here, and they're 559-441. Click on the link above to see the article, it's a corker.
There have been some complaints about how it was run, given that Lavender went undercover in Brock's support group. I can see this point of view, and there are ethical doubts about that sort of thing - the reporter would have privy to sensitive information from the members of the group and it should be presumed that at least some of them truly did want to rid themselves of homosexuality. But two points - why did they think that? Well, they probably think they need help because they get told so, by Brock and his church.
And my second point - does anyone care if someone throws a marble in a hailstorm? Yes, Lavender magazine's ethical duty is on shaky ground, but come on, compare it to what they were investigating and it looks like an act of charity compared. And it kind of resembles one too - this sort of ball-busting publicity can only help ease taboos about gay people - hey, even the anti-gays are doing it!
I'm not going to spend any time convincing you that all anti-gay protesters are gay, because quite frankly they aren't, but, man, the incidences of anti-gays who ARE gay, well... there's alot of them. Here's a few.
In 1989, Matthew C Manning claimed to have been 'rescued' from the grips of homosexuality by Jesus, who also did him the super big favour of curing Manning of that pesky AIDS. A truly amazing case - although it's a pity that Manning has no evidence, of any kind, anywhere that he ever had HIV, AIDS, HIV/AIDS, or anything, anything at all wrong with him. People wanted these claims confirmed, naturally, so they went looking for information and, oh no, what's this?
Manning has been caught and arrested for having sex in public three times since 1998, the latest event leading to him being banned from a 24 Hour Gym in Santa Rosa. Oh, and it was totally with dudes, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Oh, and he tried to pick up a plain clothes police cop for a little bit of dirty fun in a public toilet. After entering a guilty plea, Craig continued to deny the, well not allegations, because he admitted to it, but whatever you call it, he denied it. He claimed the pressure caused him to capitulate to avoid a greater punishment., and that he was a completely innocent part of all that had happened.
Except that when he enterted the stall, he blocked the front portion of the door with his suitcase, repeatedly flicked his hand under the stall to get the attention of the occupant and even tapped his right foot against the officers' left foot repeatedly! He later claimed he was picking up a piece of paper when his hand could be seen (3 times?), and as for the feet thing, well... let's just say that from now on I'm going to remember him as Senator Larry "I have a wide stance when going to the bathroom" David.
And because it's so fresh and juicy, I simply must end with the classy George A Rekers. You may well know about this one - in early May some photos of G.A. Rekers taking a fully subsidized trip to Europe with a rent-boy surfaced. Rekers claimed he had recently had surgery and could not reach his luggage, hence, rent-a-boy, right?
Did I mentioned the site Rekers found 'Lucien' on was a little-known website that helps connect people* - Rentboy.com! And it's so ambiguous, anyone could get confused, I mean when you use such vague language as "smooth, sweet tight ass" and "perfectly built uncut 8-inch cock", anyone is going to get confused! I can see why Rekers made his mistake though, as Lucien's profile says he is "Up for anything!". Carriyng luggage counts as anything, right?
For a pretty comprehensive history of people with more than their fair share of sexual hypocrisy, see this awesome article that I kicked myself after finding right after I wrote this article!
