In a bizarre speech to the PepsiCo board, Greg Quinlan, an activist with Parents & Friends of ‘Ex-Gays’, (PFOX) demanded that the company stop donating to gay rights groups, such as Parents, Families, and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). He claimed that PFLAG discriminates against heterosexuals – conveniently failing to mention that most members of the organization are straight parents.
A known extremist, Quinlan even referred to the innocuous PFLAG as a “hate group.” The activist then went on to mention a failed American Family Association boycott against the company. He forgot to discuss Michael Johnston, the AFA’s “ex-gay” poster boy, who is now living in a sex addiction facility in Kentucky. The Bible literalist also skipped over his recent divorce – which is reportedly frowned upon in the Bible. Quinlan is noted for instigating confrontations with gay activists, then calling the police to falsely claim he was the victim.
The PepsiCo board appeared to give Quinlan a chilly reception, stating that it supports diversity.
Queerty has more – including an audio clip of his surreal, paranoid speech.
Quinlan keeps on about PFLAG supporting “genderless marriage”. In a heterosexual marriage one party is male and the other female, so that’s definitely gendered. In a gay marriage both parties are of the same gender – either both male or both female – so that’s definitely gendered too. What the hell is a “genderless” marriage, when it’s at home? The man’s just a nutcase.
Quinlan has been unhinged for quite some time. He used to tell everyone that he worked for the Human Rights Campaign. No one had ever heard of him at HRC.
It seems that PFOX is a nebula for nuts. The whole “gays hate heteros” strategy is so dumb it is difficult to contemplate. Not a very intelligent bunch at PFOX. They are so loopy that they have no idea that the rest of America laughs at them. It is all kind of sad, really.
I read that Quinlan’s about turn happened in 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell. He was convinced after reading Matt 24:14, that the end of communism would bring about the imminent return of Jesus Christ, and that started him on his ridiculous mission. He needs to be asked if he still thinks this event is about to happen.
