New Video: The Porno Pete Anthem

Wayne Besen December 26, 2009

Thanks to amazing The Cross Eyed Iguanas for this witty little ditty about Porno Pete LaBarbera. I think they did a pretty darn good job capturing the essence of this bizarre, sexually stunted man. For the unacquainted, Porno Pete is an anti-gay activist who goes “undercover” to gay sex clubs and leather conferences to expose alleged naughtiness.

What people find odd is that he goes to the same exact events year-after-year, as if he will find something new. But, as far as I can tell, leather looks the same in 2009 as it did in 1999. So, why does this man keep returning to the same venues? I suppose it is possible that he may find it titillating, on some level. Revealingly, he never goes to heterosexual events that have a similar level of debauchery. Indeed, one rarely finds him pictured with the opposite sex and, for some unexplained reason, it appears he is exclusively fixated on the homosexual arena.

He also does not seem to be the least concerned about lesbian events, you’d think he could try to dig up a woman to go undercover at the Dinah.

But, EMMA.

That would mean he would be looking at GIRLS!

I mean, guh-ross, it’s like you don’t even know Peter’s tastes.

;)

Oh, im very aware of Pete’s tastes from his girlish gushings, he likes “tall, strapping, all-american” types like his “good buddy” Bam-Bam Barber

Especially if they’re Certified Tuff Guys like Matt, yes.

Bam Bam looks a bit out of shape to be throwing right hooks. The only boxing he’s done in quite a while is boxing burgers and fries at the drive-thru on the way home from work.

I should box him for a charity event. The only thing I fear is that he will attack me in the ring with a jambone.

Yes, but Wayne, they are Mitts of Sexxxytime now. It doesn’t call for the same specs as his former career…

Was he once a real boxer?

I can’t imagine, now that he looks like he has been working out at Dunkin Doughnuts. And training with Ben & Jerry as lifting partners.

It’s probably just relationship weight. Peter’s gotten a bit more portly from what I can tell.

It’s easy and safe.

I always think of those poolside shots of Cary Grant and Randolph Scott when I read about Peter and Bam Bam.

Besen–You are very hateful to drum this video up. I have encountered you before and am not intimidated by you. I do want to add that I hope you turn away from your wicked lifestyle of homosexuality and get close to God.
Wayne Besen January 5, 2010 at 4:34 pm -

Thanks PO….I am glad I don’t intimidate you, as that was not my purpose. But, the video sure is great.

Remember Wayne:

For Christian fundamentalists, being made fun of is EXACTLY the same as people murdering gay people.

Their skin is that thin.

With his new fat boy look pete is going to have to start covering bear events.
They should rename their group “Americans who Hate”
