These activists can’t get out of their own way. When AFDI ran ads highlighting the mistreatment of gays in Islamic law, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors issued a resolution condemning not that mistreatment, but our ads. Gay advocates such as Theresa Sparks and Chris Stedman attacked us for daring to call attention to the institutionalized mistreatment of gays under Islamic law. It was that, or risk not being invited to the best parties.
“LGBT Magazine Calls Trump ‘Racist’ For Telling Iran to Stop Killing and Jailing Gays,” by Brittany M. Hughes, MRCTV, February 20, 2019:
You just can’t make this stuff up. Because in 2019, the truth really is stranger than fiction.
Out Magazine, a pro-LGBT news publication that doubles as a gay advocacy platform, actually published a piece Wednesday claiming that it’s – stay with me here – “racist” for the Trump administration to pressure nations like Iran to decriminalize homosexuality.
I’ll restate, for the record: an openly pro-gay magazine is calling Donald Trump racist for trying to get regimes that jail and kill people for being gay to stop jailing and killing people for being gay.
Again, you can’t make this stuff up, so I’ll let Out’s Matthew Rodriguez do the talking for me. In his article, entitled, “Trump’s Plan to Decriminalize Homosexuality Is an Old Racist Tactic,” Rodriguez states:
There are several signs that this decision is denoted in a colonial sense of paternalism rather than any true altruism. According to the report, the decriminalization campaign is set to begin in Berlin where LGBTQ+ activists from across Europe will meet to hatch a plan that is “mostly concentrated in the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean.”
That sentence alone should set off several alarm bells. First of all, the Middle East, Africa, and the Caribbean are huge geopolitical entities. Attitudes toward gay people differ greatly among countries and regions within those entities and attempting to gather a room of European activists on how to deal with queer issues in those regions is the definition of paternalism.
The initiative Rodriguez is referring to is a newly announced plan spearheaded by U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell (who’s openly gay) to gather Western world leaders in denouncing dozens of nations including Iran for laws that criminalize or even carry the death penalty for being gay. By pressing the issue, experts have noted that Trump runs the risk of straining otherwise positive U.S. relations with certain nations like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates….

It just goes to prove these scumbag demons only believe what Satan allows them to do to spread mayhem through out the land.
mortimer says
Mac … you are quoting the Koran ‘spreading mischief throughout the land’. The penalty is to be killed or crucified or have hands and feet cut off on opposite sides.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THAT LANGUAGE. You appear to be no different from the Islamic fascist supremacists.
Mac-101 says
So what’s the problem? The LGBT people are not about tolerance or even acceptance but for debasing and domination of our culture. You can have your wife or daughter/granddaughter share a shower room with a MAN with his Junk swinging. I DO NOT think it is ever acceptable!
.
As a Libertarian I have no problem with consenting adults doin what they wish to do in the privacy of their own bedrooms. I do have a problem in bringin it into the grade schools and the culture and demanding it to be accepted as normal behavior. I refuse to recognize it as such as I refuse to acknowledge Islam is the Religion of Peace!
.
As far as I care they are Activist of Satan just as the Jihadist are!

Wow. I learned two things today: obviously those people should go back to biology lessons: besides being human, to be gay does NOT constitute a race. And this so called “livertarian” is afraid of my willy. My little cock. Mr. “Libertarian”, please go back to school and feel ashamed. Ask your history teacher to explain the word “libertarian” to you, never go into the shower without your mommie and leave your hateful comments about gay people perhaps on a different forum. Perhaps you are exactly of the same material as those mullahs who want to throw gay people from high buildings. I hope, as a gay person, never to accidentally bump into you in a dark alley!
Indiana Tom says
To Mac….more or less. The Gay Movement really is not about tolerance and acceptance at all and you can tell that by how they attack anyone who disagrees with them. Gays pretty much push the Liberal Agenda even if it means endangering themselves so as to cater to fundamentalist Muslims.
Androptov Tothelandanod says
Well said Mac. Well said. Boy oh boy the gays are in for a wake up with ISLAM it doesn’t play like they’re used to, with semantics an nuance….it just eradicates those it deems “dirty” sons of Sodom, no arguments entered into, the MULLAHment reserves the right to refuse not just entry but LIFE itself.

Note to all the gender confused souls wandering about out there:
Things ! What you have down there between your legs is the true indication of your gender. It is there for you and (if you choose) all the world to see. The picture you carry in your alleged mind is not visible to others and should have nothing to do with the way you are addressed or treated.
Sorry, but if not carrying a rose bud or wearing a false moustache, don’t expect me to see you as you ain’t.

It was disgraceful enough that the O maladministration diplomatically beat up on Uganda and some other African countries for retaining anti-sodomy laws on their books. Now it appears that in 2016, one New York liberal beat another. It is shameful that the US uses its power and prestige to boost organized perversion–as well as the hunt for blue unicorns, oops, moderate ‘ulema.
The LGBTQ lobby sold its political position as “live and let live”. Sounded good. Then the O maladministration came along and encouraged lawfare against those who still consider LGBTQ a sinful behavior (even if they don’t advocate looking in closets and under beds and then throwing people off buildings). Well, as far as I’m concerned, my policy towards organized perversion is fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. The USA will only drive other states into the arms of Russia, China, or both if it pushes a make the world safe for perversion struggle. Just us and a dying Europe. Very promising alliance.
Human rights was once about free exercise of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of peaceable assembly, liberty to organize independent labor unions, and liberty to organize for peaceful political change. Now, it is all about pushing the decadence of big donors to the Democratic Party (think Terry Bean of Oregon) on the rest of the world, as well as that part of the USA that is disgusted by it. Not on my tax dollar!!!
Johan Elzinga says
And there we are again. Is this christian right wing America again showing its medieval side? I strongly believe that ideas like this show a complete misunderstanding of what it means to be gay! To be gay means that you are BORN to be gay, and nothing you can do to change that. The whole scientific community agrees on that – finally. So it is NOT organised sin – gay people are born that way and have no way of changing their sexual preference. Perhaps Kepha – from your handle I think you are not white and perhaps in that respect you might recall that some hundreds of years ago black people were enslaved and abused, justified by the idea that black people are not really human. Or do you agree with the Mullah sjiites that gay people are to be killed? In my humble opinion, you are then nothing better than the European church inquisition in the 14th century who burned women after they tortured them and prosecuted them calling them witches.
Kepha says
Johann, I know history, and all about the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of Mankind. I teach it in school. But in the names of nation, social justice, progress, and the like, the 20th century murdered, imprisoned, and otherwise ruined more people than the 15 centuries between the conversion of Constantine and Ruggles v. New York persecuted for heresy.
As a Christian, I see the church as a hospital for sinners; not a museum for finished saints. I am not for giving homosexuals Iranian flying lessons without the benefit of magic carpets. But our society has no more business affirming and celebrating this sin than it has in celebrating my bad temper and heterosexual lusts. If there is a “gay gene” (an excuse which has come under fire in more recent years, despite the widespread corruption of the scientific community), then there is also one for a bad temper and lustfulness. But still, neither is good for society. I get told to repent; so do those with same-sex attraction. Further, all of us are told that the remedy for our sins is the person and work of Jesus Christ. If my bad temper and lustfulness (just like Jimmy Carter!) made it necessary for God to become man, dwell among us, and give himself on the cross to atone, and then rise from the dead on the third day, that goes for those who have a propensity to covet others’ property and the 肛门 of their brethren.
I can make accusations, too, if I wish to. In Bangkok, in the beginning of the sexual so-called enlightenment, I saw these pony-tailed Western sex tourists who knew they were riddled with HIV/AIDS looking for one last fling with partners as young as they could find them. To me, this isn’t progress, but reversion to the old Graeco-Roman master-slave (albeit temporary) relationship in which the wealthy and powerful get to exploit as much as they wish.
And from your handle, my guess is that you are a fair-skinned Frisian or Groningener. Do you know that in my country, there are those who are telling white people that they ought to go extinct, and they get a pass from those who call themselves “progressive”? Could it be, organized perversion, well aware that it is sick, is so complicit and supportive n the Islamicization of the West because, in its heart of hearts, it knows it needs to be thrown off a building, or stoned? But there is grace from a merciful God, and a Holy Spirit who can work some big changes in people.
J D.S says
I don’t want to see ANYONE killed or demonized for whatever reason ..however if I believe in the HOly Bible I just can’t in good conscience agree with the lifestyles of LGBTQ people. I do believe they have a right to life just as we all do however I don’t want their ways to be FORCED upon our society by laws..
As some have said I’d what goes on in the privacy of their residence etc is between them and their god whomever that god may be.
As a Christian I am obligated to welcome them but am also obligated to try and make them understand that their lifestyle is against the teachings found in the HOly Bible.
I do agree that LGBTQ is not a race. Therefore just because that one disagrees with their lifestyle that does not make that person a racist.

If my memory is correct today, there is an article on this in FPM. I think it was written by Daniel Greenfield, but I could be mistaken about the author. I found it interesting as to “why” they are saying this about Mr. Trump.
Wellington says
Islam does terrible things to the mind. So does Western Leftism (which in America is steadily, perhaps even inexorably, taking over the Democratic Party). Hence no surprise these two warped ideologies, one religious and the other secular, are allies (though should they prevail over all others they will then try to tear each other apart, with my money here on Islam, not Western Leftism, prevailing).
Totalitarian ideologies such as Islam and Leftism need a “them” or several “thems” to hate. Trump and Western conservatives make a perfectly fine “them.” All of which overwhelmingly tends to prove that no amount of education can overcome adherence to a warped ideology once common sense and a proper moral instinct exist no longer, as exampled here by this LGBT magazine. Indeed, even self-preservation is not enough to dissuade “true believers” from continuing to adhere to their warped ideology of choice, once again as exampled by this miserable excuse of a magazine.
mortimer says
It’s not enough to do the right thing for these fools … saving lives is not enough … you must do it for the ‘correct’ ideological reasons … or saving lives doesn’t count.

Dear Wellington, spot on! I’ll happily condemn ANY society prosecuting gay people, throwing them in jail or killing them for no other reason than to be gay and preferring a spouse of their own gender. I cannot understand what is wrong with those LGBT organisations but perhaps they can explain their point of view to the many Hatian mothers whose son son ended up in jail for no other reason than dating a man or to be open about their sexual preference? Is this the new america where your standards are adapted to the group you are part of and, as a result, any moral view can be twisted at will by those who ” represent” us? I am usually very happy with Trump and I’ m glad he does not make excuses for WHERE a wrongdoing occurs or WHO is doing the wrong. Wrong is wrong!
Terry Gain says
Johan
I don’t understand why you use the expression “sexual preference” rather than “sexual orientation”.
In an earlier comment you made the point that our sexuality is not a matter of choice. I wholeheartedly agree and that informs my attitude to homosexuality and the treatment of homosexuals.
I have no doubt that God created homosexuals. I don’t understand why, but there are a lot of things I don’t understand.
revereridesagain says
In the bizarro world of the Left, “intersectionalism” now cancels out even survival.
tgusa says
This is not racism it is cultural discrimination. Washington DC and primarily the American left have loudly and proudly advocated for cultural diversity not realizing that a good number of leftist subgroups would have to be sacrificed on the altar of multiculturalism. DC and the left cannot have it both ways. Therefore they are obligated to honor cultural diversity no matter how insidious certain cultural practices may be. Yes, I agree that the ramifications of this bad idea were not well thought out but they all went ahead and advocated for it in spite of that fact.
The one thing I miss most is an American population that thought things through before any changes were rolled out. Debate is the lefts favorite four letter word. President Trump is trying to make America great again but as I look around I have to wonder, has that ship already sailed? In some parts of the country the answer is most assuredly, yes.

For better or for worse our society’s values evolve. In Canada, for example, it was an indictable (criminal code) offence to be gay as recently as the 1960s. It is somewhat hypocritical to expect the rest of the World to get in lock step with us as our laws and values evolve.
That does not mean that we should sit idly by, saying nothing, when we see massive injustice in the World – based on our current value system, of course.
tgusa says
“it was an indictable (criminal code) offense to be gay as recently as the 1960s” And today we see that it has become a crime to not to wholeheartedly embrace the gay lifestyle .There will always be massive injustice in the world, only the direction of where it comes from changes. I am a firm believer in cleaning up my own backyard before attempting to clean up the worlds backyard.

Yes–and you ‘filthy Infidels’ had slavery as recently as the 1860s, so how *dare* you have a problem with Muslims enslaving people? *Ugh*.
And the implication that Canada was hanging gay people fifty years ago is claptrap, as well.
Rarely says
LOL. Of course we weren’t hanging gays. Prison terms though. My point is that our values are changing (evolving?) constantly and it’s a bit disingenuous to expect the ROW to get in lock step without delay. Sometimes -GASP!!– we are wrong.
However, it certainly is a weird (if not suicidal) viewpoint for a gay magazine to publish. You’d think they would be avidly against any State murdering gays. As a group they seem to have lost any sense of reason. A number of years ago Israel was banned from the gay games held in Spain but representatives were there from most of the muslim countries of the middle east. Crazy.
BUT. We cannot expect or demand the ROW to adhere to our laws and/or value system. How would Americans react if the Canadian gov’t promoted social unrest to bring attention to the existence of the death penalty in Texas and other States? Or to object to Pro-life legislation in the USA?
Most of us are likely against cannibalism but I don’t see any major world movements trying to stop it.

Exceptions do not make the rule, rather they are just anecdotes too often used to argue a point of view. Stereotypes and generalizations are typically based upon average trends of behavior. All I see happening in general is the Left eating its own member communities — including homosexual groups. I also agree with a previous commenter that Islam, unfortunately, will likely wind up on top of this multicultural struggle for supremacy.
In my opinion, multiculturalism, like Leftism in any form, is a mental disease that needs to be excised from humanity. Please don’t misconstrue that opinion with one that strives to eliminate varied cultures.

In my opinion Barack Obama is the most overrated person in history. if these idiotic attacks against Trump continue I will be saying that he is the most unfairly maligned person in history. And to think, 3 years ago I was a Near NeverTrumper.

These identity-political groups aren’t just there to raise awareness for “acceptance and justice”. It’s the thrill of power. For example–Transgender.

As with all of these group types on the Left, everybody who belongs to that “community” MUST hate Trump–no matter what–or they’re ridiculed and ostracized. Who really has the acceptance problem?
