In honor of the trend which states seem to be showing toward legalizing same-sex marriage, I've compiled this "Watch List" of homophobes. In other words, keep an eye on these ten.
Top Ten Most Dangerous Gay-Bashers in America:
10.) Thomas S. Monson: The current head of the most ridiculous cult in America next to Scientology: the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Spent millions of dollars on a crazed campaign to take away the fundamental right of marriage from homosexuals in the form of the outrageous Proposition 8--because the Mormon Church has an obligation to protect the definition of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman....and a woman, and a woman, and a woman.
9.) Pat Robertson: Began as a sleazy faith-healer who swindled money from the sick and elderly. Unveiled his inner delusions of grandeur to the entire world when he became the host of "The 700 Club." Unsuccessfully predicted the end of the world since the early 1980s. Accused homosexuals of interrupting church services by spattering innocent congregants with AIDS-infected blood.
8.) Michael Savage: A former liberal who once went swimming nude with beat poet Allen Ginsberg. Now the third most popular conservative radio personality and a virulent racist and homophobe, Savage (formerly Michael Weiner) frequently denies that he cares about what homosexuals do in the bedroom, yet accuses them of bringing down America as well as the rest of Western civilization. Wished AIDS on a caller on national television. Says the attempts to legalize same-sex marriage are part of a Marxist conspiracy.
7.) Brian Camenker: Head of the anti-gay organization MassResistance which as been officially designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Sent emails to his mindless followers equating gays with Nazis. When advocating a "Parental Notification" Bill at a hearing of the Massachusetts Joint Committee on Education, Camenker spent a full three minutes of his allotted time trying to convince onlookers that homosexuals were NOT victims of the Nazi Holocaust and that the Pink Triangle was fabricated in order to frame and arrest Catholic Priests. Cites the discredited, pseudohistoric book "The Pink Swastika" for his misinformation. Camenker is so notoriously thin-skinned he actually started a campaign against Macy's for their displays of what he thought were "gay mannequins." He actually placed comparative photos of "gay" and "straight" mannequins on his website, I shit you not....
6.) Donald Wildmon: Founder and chairman of the ironically named American Family Association. Protested Disney for hosting "gay days", theatres for showing "The Last Temptation of Christ" and Blockbuster Videos for carrying movies with an NC-17 rating. Tries to combat the fictional "homosexual agenda" by promoting so-called "ex-gay ministries" under the erroneous assumption that sexual orientation is a choice. Agreed with Mike Huckabee that AIDS victims ought to be quarantined.
5.) Tony Perkins: Head of the fraudulent Family Research Council--an offshoot of the equally hateful Focus on the Family group. Unlike the bigots of yesteryear, Perkins masks his irrational hatred within the facade of a charming, clean-cut Southern political activist. Unfortunately for Perkins, it was discovered that he not only gave a speech for the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens but paid David Duke $82,000 for the use of his mailing list in 1996.
4.) Bishop Eddie Long-The senior pastor of a prominent Georgia megachurch, Eddie Long doesn't mince words, boldly proclaiming to his audience that homosexuals deserve death--no exceptions. A true closet-case, Long wrote in his 1997 book "I Don't Want Delilah, I Need You!", "Men can look attractive when they are dirty. We see sweating, dirty, hardworking men on television all the time and we say to one another, 'There's a macho guy.'" Why is a Southern charlatan like this so important? He was invited to speak at the funeral of Coretta Scott King who would never have approved of Long's homophobic attitude.
3.) James Dobson: Faux-psychiatrist and Focus on the Family founder "Dr." James Dobson may be responsible for the misery of thousands of closeted American children for convincing their parents by way of his child-rearing books that there is something inherently wrong with being gay, and that it is nothing more than a sinful lifestyle choice. Many parents who attempted to implement Dobson's advice have testified that their relationships with their children have been forever ruined, or worse--that they ended their lives to avoid living in shame. Though he no longer works with Focus on the Family, this twisted fundamentalist is no less dangerous.
2.) Fred Phelps: Leader of the fundamentalist Westboro Baptist Church, which is mainly composed of Phelps' children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, Phelps leads a hyperoffensive campaign with slogans such as "God Hates Fags", "No Tears for Queers", "Matt [Shepherd] in Hell", "America is Doomed", etc. Believes the end of the world is at hand and all Americans besides himself and his cult followers will go to Hell because the American justice system doesn't treat homosexuality as a capital offense. Pickets the funerals of AIDS victims, hate crime victims, dead soldiers, Presidents, celebrities, and pretty much everyone else within driving distance. What makes Phelps so dangerous is that most fundamentalists agree with him on homosexuality, but Phelps is just more open about how he views the LGBT community.
1.) Paul Cameron: The deadliest gay-basher you've never heard of, Cameron is a former member of the American Psychological Association who was expelled for his intellectual and professional dishonesty. Incensed by the APA's decision to remove homosexuality from their list of mental disorders, Cameron conducted a pseudoscientific study of his own known as the 1983 ISIS Survey. According to Cameron's "research", 68% of mass murderers are homosexuals, 100% of homosexuals have oral sex, 70% of homosexuals ingest feces, 76% of homosexuals have one or more STDs and the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 sexual partners per year. While mainstream scientists note that the study is heavily biased and manipulated and, therefore, unusable, every anti-gay group from the American Family Association to the Family Research Council to the Westboro Baptist Church consider it serious scientific research and utilize the study in their propaganda against the gay community.
