Does everybody remember a few days back when our favorite hysterical anti-gay hate group leader, Porno Pete LaBarbera, posted a graphic picture of a diseased anus on his blog, in order to illustrate just how bad gayness is?
Juxtapose that with today, as Peter has posted the now-viral picture of the gay Marine kissing his partner upon arriving back in Hawai’i. But in this case, Peter found the shot too graphic, so he censored the liplock.
Here is the original:
And here is Porno Pete’s version:
Here’s why he did this, I think. Wingnuts like Porno Pete are in absolute denial of reality when it comes to things they fear. Since one of Porno Pete’s greatest fears [which will be realized] is that LGBT people will be accepted fully by society before too long, he’s desperately trying to hide from the reality of this picture, which shows two guys who love each other and who have been away from each other, reuniting the way that couples do. One jumps into the other’s arms, they kiss and for that moment, no one else exists. This is just how that works, and it doesn’t matter whether the couple is straight or gay. So Porno Pete is desperately trying to turn it into something dirty, because the reality of the matter is that the great majority of Americans see a picture like that and not only does it not bother them, but they think it’s sweet.
Because it is.
I can’t tell what they’re doing whats happening behind that censor bar? /end sarcasm
EPIC FAILURE lol as though if you hadn’t seen the photo already you couldn’t tell whats happening behind that bar…
What an idiot. As if people can’t figure out the two men are kissing. I swear, the idiocy of the religious right grows every more obvious.
AFTAH did have that posting I found interesting from the Fair Foundation the other day. About the alledgedly disproportional funding of AIDS research versus diseases that actually affect more people. That was interesting. I do not know much about the Fair Foundation, but looking over the unadjusted data from the National Institutes of Health website, the AIDS funding is comparable to that of other diseases, so if compensated for the actual rate at which it affects people, it would make sense. I have yet to verify the math personally though. When I get the chance.
I’d be interested if there are any GLBT activista out there that have thoughts on that.
Urghh…allegedly. Tucking Fypo…
Evan, I think you nailed it.
In this century, this picture would upset him? Not likely! Pete like it, that’s not difficult to figure. His censored photo REALLY hides the horror doesn’t it? This man has achieved lunar orbit. A regular looney tune on the loose. AND people listen him. If he was Jim Jones, they’d all drink the Kool Aid on his say-so. What sad creatures he and his believers are. So guys, give him all the money you can so he won’t have to do real work for a living.
Richard (I’m wincing as I type this ‘the wing nut’),
You seem dislike yourself so intently that you seek out places and people who will forcefully disagree with whatever you say.
Do you go to places and say things that get you called names and given a load of abuse in real life? I get the impression you hate yourself so much any insults confirm what you believe about yourself.
Please, sir, talk to someone about this self hate.
As for the photo; What planet do these right-wing (pseudo) Christians inhabit?
That’s all.
[...] Porno Pete says that “homosexual activists” are “reacting furiously” to his censorship of a beautiful photo of a Marine kissing his partner upon returning home. Read this. [...]
