Some people say that the United States of America doesn’t make anything worthy of exporting to other nations, and this video won’t disabuse them of that notion, not one bit. Some wingnut called “Rebecca Hagelin” decided to go to Australia to lend a hand in making sure gays remain second class citizens in that nation, and during her talk, she said some truly stupid things linking homosexuality and pedophilia. Only the dumbest of all humans could possibly be swayed by an argument like this:
No, seriously. Only the dumbest of all humans. The question, as always, is this: is the wingnut saying these things truly stupid, or is she just a fearmongering liar? Stupid or evil? Stupid or evil? Only she knows her own heart.
FYI, I had to look her up, because she must be a really minor player in the professional bigot industry, but apparently Rebecca is with Heritage and also writes for Clown Hall. Unsurprising.

Ms. Hagelin:
You are very wrongheaded in your prejudices against those of your fellow human beings who happen to be gay.
For one, you have a nasty habit of talking about “homosexual activists” as though no grandparent, parent, sister, brother, uncle, aunt or heterosexual friend and/or colleague of a gay American loved them and wanted them to enjoy full legal equality.
Something I notice is that as enlightenment and acceptance increase in society, you and your kind become ever more shrill.
I would like to see you explaining to all my supportive family members, colleagues and friends why you think I should continue to be treated as a second class citizen. All of these people are highly educated, and you would not be able to espouse irrational hatred against me in their presence without being asked to explain yourself rationally. You do not have any greater authority than they to determine what is good for our family. Intelligent people looking around the world today can see that Holland gives its gay citizens equality while Saudi Arabia does not and that Canada does while Iran does not. Both Saudi Arabia and Iran have religious excuses for not giving their gay citizens equality.
I recommend that you watch this Faith Press Conference held by the Reverend Doctor Anthony Spearman in favor of legal equality for LGBT people:

I shall be saving this e-mail to show to others whenever I learn that you have again spoken ignorantly about gay human beings and launched your mean-spirited attacks against their families, including those supportive members of their extended families that are heterosexual.
Shame on you.

Bravo Scott!
“only the dumbest of all people…” I don’t have much faith in people to begin with and even less in their level of intelligence.
Not just Clownhall, she also writes for “WingNutDaily”
OMG, why is she here and what an uneducated,bogoted,self righteous frightening freak.
im horrified, honestly, the dumbest argument ever, and we gave her air time in parliament??????
Rebecca is an ‘author’ only the general sense that she sits at a keyboard and bashes the keys and then prints the unintelligble, incoherent, ignorant, misplaced, confused, disordered, dumb, inarticulate, incomprehensible, irrational, rambling output onto pressed wood-pulp.
Banning gay marriage has as much to do with protection of children as the language of whales has to do with the colour er… purple?
@ Scott
Thanks for posting her email address – I have just sent her a little note outlining my position on the matter (it was not very nice)
“Some people say that the United States of America doesn’t make anything worthy of exporting to other nations” send Ellen down here and that’ll change it.
