Janet Porter has no shame.
Formerly Janet Folger, she launched the disastrous “Truth in Love” ex-gay advertising campaign in 1998, with 15 other anti-gay organizations.
Of course, we all know what happened. I photographed their poster boy, John Paulk, inside a gay bar in 2000. Along with attorney Michael Hamar, we also exposed their other spokesperson, Michael Johnston, for having orgies with men he met online.
Way to go Janet. Your campaign was a real “success”.
Instead of slinking off in shame, Porter/Folger is trying to make a comeback. She organized the failed “May Day: A Cry To God For A Nation In Distress” rally this month. No wonder why former Christian Coalition head, Ralph Reed derisively once referred to her as an “issues entrepreneur”. There is no depth she will not stoop, lie she won’t tell, or issue she will not opportunistically embrace.
Her latest outrage is an attack on Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan. In an obnoxious “Action Alert”, Porter has a headline that reads: “Lesbian Nominated to Supreme Court.” What evidence does Porter have to make this allegation? Has she slept with Kagen?
In the Action Alert, her Faith 2 Action organization asks members to:
“Contact Chaplain Klingenschmitt’s Pray in Jesus Name organization can send a fax petition to all 100 U.S. Senators, or a couple of smaller groups of swing-vote or Judiciary Committee Senators on your behalf, opposing this nomination.”
Folger/Porter is up to her same old bag of despicable dirty tricks. She’s just a bundle of hype and hyperbole operating under the guise of fundamentalist Christianity.
There’s no evidence that Kagen is a lesbian, but Porter doesn’t care. When you’re a bigoted a*****e, you don’t let facts get in the way.
But Bill, haven’t you heard…she played softball, isn’t that enough proof?
Yes. And this is what we all do–> “Vote for Elena BECAUSE she is a Lesbian!” Let’s turn the tide. These spoken and written attacks on the LGBT must be met with more than equal force. No, hell, no…don’t just push back. STEAM ROLL the b******s over!
I am SO VERY PROUD of the hope, Ms. Kagen may indeed be a lesbian. I pray in the name of Jesus that she is and is appointed with haste. Amen!
I’m tired of hearing how fat and ugly Rosie O’Donnell is, how rude and “inappropriate” Adam Lambert is, how “confused and pathetic” Lady Gaga is… ENOUGH!
We’re proud of our people. The fat ones, ugly ones, rude ones, inappropriate ones, nellie ones, butch ones…
Tell you what… I got this WRONG on some previous postings because I allowed bigots into my head rent-free where they spent NO TIME WASTED convincing me that nellie is “bad”, that men shouldn’t kiss on TV, that “our children”…
Look you Redneck, scumbag a******s…no one gave you permission to destroy America by continuing your genetic line. I don’t need your permission to live my life. f**k you~!
Conservatives are sell-outs and their kindest words are planted poison seeds. WE MUST RESIST THEIR VOICE.
Why do so many of the women in the talibangelist/gay bashing business have that Stepford wife look? Why does Porter have those maniacal glassed-over eyes?
Answer: ‘She has her father’s eyes’! (paraphrase of line spoken by Ruth Gordon at the end of Rosemary’s Baby).

hey Wayne thanks for the Fuel I did a response piece on lezgetreal http://lezgetreal.com/?p=34223 and turned it into a lesbian revenge piece., Take a peak you may enjoy it… mel
I worked with her at college years ago, and to be honest, I assumed–my lesbian best friends actually said something first–she was a lesbian. She’s happily hetero, we now know (although, still, “methinks thou dost protest too much”), but I have to wonder if a some amount of her anti-gay obsession came out of how she knew, probably going back years, that people (including gays, although of course she didn’t hang around with any, that she knew of) did get a certain vibe from her, and because she couldn’t manage to fit into the feminine mold that clearly means so much to her, she basically freaked. Looking at her writings, she seemed to be very defensive about not having a man in her life for so long, and I have to wonder if not having this evidence, a boyfriend/fiance/husband that announced she was not a lesbian only fueled her way of mistreating gays and lesbians.
