MassResistance has always been one of the silliest anti-gay hate groups in the country. If you’re looking for hysterical ravings, check in with Brian Camenker and Amy Contrada. A shining example of this is their memo speaking out against the US State Department’s project to fight anti-gay violence around the world. Said memo is a long doozy of madness, but let’s take a look at it anyway:
The Obama administration has announced that it is taking the unbelievable role of pushing the homosexual agenda around the world and punishing countries that don’t comply.
Back in July, MassResistance reported how the Pakistanis angrily denounced the US Embassy’s open homosexual parties as “cultural terrorism.” Well, that was just the beginning.
It is always so strange how the Religious Right haaaaaaaates Muslims, except for when certain Muslims say/do anti-gay things. Then they’re fine. Unless they’re trying to play victim about how mean the gays are being, in which case they say things like, “why are gays so hateful against [right-wing, fundamentalist, anti-gay, hate-group-supporting] Christians? Why, we don’t hang them like they do in Iran! Perspective, folks!”
Now, foreign countries which seek to protect their citizens against homosexuality and the homosexual movement will be actively confronted by America’s State Department, foreign service, and other federal departments, according to a Presidential Memorandum released by the Obama Administration announced on Dec. 6.
Earth to MassResistance: those countries already have gay people. The US is just trying to get the more backward corners of the planet to treat their gay citizens a little better.
Unless countries around the world subordinate their own social and religious values to U.S. demands that they embrace homosexuality and the homosexual movement, they can expect interference from the US government in their internal affairs and punishment — using foreign aid and in international commerce, trade, banking, travel restrictions, and the like.
Mirroring the homosexual lobby’s (and the Left’s) traditional tactics, Obama is characterizing this as a “civil rights” quest for homosexuality and transgenderism.
Obama is on a QUEST! For homosexuality and transgenderism!
The other day, Porno Pete was complaining that we on the mean gay side of things increasingly treat the Religious Right as if they have no legitimate arguments about anything. This is why.
In the memo, Obama declares that America will be targeting foreign countries having laws or customs which “criminalize LGBT status,” don’t allow LGBT pride celebrations, or allow other “discrimination” against homosexual or transgender behavior. Obama also repeats the homosexual lobby’s mantra that there is widespread violence and murder against “men, women, and children for their perceived sexual orientation” causing him to act, but he does not give any specifics.
Obama assumes you know how to use Google.
The memo then breathlessly recounts all the terrible, terrorist things that the Obama administration is doing to try to help usher in a world where it’s just not considered polite to execute people for being gay, and then that section wraps up with this:
Take another look the list of federal agencies involved, and the vehemence of the Obama administration on this. Make no mistake about it. This will lead to increasingly brutal oppression against people with traditional values both in America and around the world.
Vehemence! Brutal oppression! Why won’t anybody think of the wingnuts and their constitutional right to never have their fee fees hurt or their beliefs questioned?!
Time to complain about Hillary Clinton:
The same day that Obama issued that infamous Presidential Memorandum — Dec. 6, so-called “International Human Rights” Day — Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated Obama’s memo in a speech given in Geneva, Switzerland. (She’s unquestionably the only US Secretary of State ever to give a speech entirely on America’s support for homosexuality.)
Speaking to the Europeans, she specifically reinforced Obama’s directive to coordinate with and help fund international homosexual organizations, which will work to subvert the efforts of foreign countries holding traditional moral values and attempting to protect citizens from the effects of the homosexual agenda.
Just so we are totally clear, the countries that have “traditional moral values” and are “attempting to protect citizens from the effects of the homosexual agenda” have a really bad habit of passing laws criminalizing people for being gay, jailing them, sometimes giving them the death penalty. As much as Brian Camenker wants you to believe that this is all about Wingnuts of the World wanting to live free of their strange fear of people different from them, it’s not. It’s about nations that, like, kill gay people.
Starting a worldwide homosexual terror group?
As she said, this $3 million is “to start the fund.”
Look for enormous funding to come from various far-left government and private sources. This is quite frightening, because these radical groups can be used to perpetrate all kinds of sleazy and quasi-legal destabilizing and harassing activities in foreign countries that US government agencies can’t do so easily.
Sleazy! Quasi-legal! Worldwide homosexual terror group! Um, no, Brian, this is still about places like Uganda that want to pass things like the “Kill the Gays” bill.
3. Gov’t sanctioned website for homosexual activists in US State Dept. and foreign service reveals how far Obama Administration has taken us.
To see how far the Obama Administration has gone, one only needs to go to gliffa.org – “gays and lesbians in foreign affairs agencies.” The “gay pride” events in federal offices which seemed risqué just a few years ago, have given way to a virtual takeover by the State Department and foreign service around the globe.
Oh, god, they have a website. This is much more serious than I thought.
The next section of the memo details the horrific story of a transgender person being treated like a human being, working in the State Department, because of a new nondiscrimination policy which requires EVEN TRANSGENDER PEOPLE to be treated like human beings, rather than objects of the Religious Right’s confusion and derision. Even worse…
Last summer MassResistance reported that the nation’s blood supply is facing new danger from political pressure to change rules regarding homosexual blood donors. The major pressure was to ignore public health principles and bow to dangerous political correctness was from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
Now Sebelius is going even further. Her keynote speech centered around new legislation forcing insurance companies to cover the destructive effects of reckless homosexual behavior even if they are pre-existing conditions. She has also worked to have insurance cover “domestic partners,” and to extend the coverage for expensive “preventive testing” of homosexual-related diseases and health risks. These new mandates, of course, will help dramatically raise the price of health care for all Americans.
Um, so Brian seems to be insinuating here that Kathleen Sebelius has a master plan to inject AIDS blood into the US supply. Because as we all know, all gay blood is AIDS blood. Moreover, she wants loving gay couples to have health insurance benefits, and, wait, what’s this about “preventive testing?” You mean she wants gay people to have access to health care, which is a well-known way to prevent STD’s like, um, HIV/AIDS? This memo is getting really dumb, unless you’re a wingnut, in which case you’re just shrieking at all the scary words without taking time to comprehend them.
Moreover, if ObamaCare survives, it won’t be long before we taxpayers will be forced to subsidize “gender reassignment” surgeries and procedures.
Indeed. The actual master plan is for every transgender person to be teamed up with one “family valyews” wingnut, and they will be forced to become best friends. When the time comes, the wingnut has to write the check for the surgery.
Anyway, MassResistance concludes by explaining that the Frothy Mix known as Rick Santorum is our only hope, if we want to preserve a world where, more or less, there are still some places where you can do a little institutional gay bashing and get away with it.
Because, I guess, the most important issue facing our world today is protecting the poor, unwitting people of Uganda, Iran, etc., from Barack, Hillary and their roving band of rainbow terrorists.
Oy.

“This will lead to increasingly brutal oppression against people with traditional values both in America and around the world.”
I like this quote simply because it means we’ll get to share. According to this ding-bat group, you’ll be getting to experience what so many gay people have experienced and continue to experience at the hands of real holier-than-thou, values “people” like yourselves. AND if Ricky Santorum is your only hope, you might as well cash it in now.
I heard on the radio, over the weekend, that republican bigwigs know that gay bashing is no longer a ‘winner’ for them and have quietly been trying to squelch anti-lgbt bills coming from their own politicians. I also heard that the Starbucks boycott called for (by NOM I think it was) several weeks ago was a colossal failure. In fact, our supporters caused Starbucks sales to go through the roof. What other businesses would we like to help? Maybe we can get Maggot Gagginwhore (love that one — not mine) and her cohorts to call for some more boycotts on those companies.
It all depends on what brand of imperialism you think is justified. Go to war in the middle east to secure energy interests and instill a democracy propped up by the U.S.? Absolutely not! Threaten to withold much needed aid to African countries because they discriminate against gay people? Go for it. No double standard there.
You’re right Wing-nut. There is no double-standard. Human aid needs to be applied to all humans.
@Richard (the “Wing-nut”)
Fascinating position you take — so its alright to engage in wars of conquest to steal natural resources from a people and destroy a working government responsible for ZERO of the terrorists that hit us on 911 — that’s fine? Displacing a million people (UN Human Right’s Commission figures, American figures are about 400,000 I believe). Killing hundreds of thousands of civilians (American figures tens of thousands) as collateral damage and, by eliminating the secular regime encouraging the rise of a new fundamentalist Muslim regime that will brutally suppress freedom among the survivors is also fine? But… demanding that countries that depend on us for help respect basic human rights, that’s not fine?
And you think we, who want respect for sovereign governments that are not a threat to us and who show some respect to their people in general AND want other sovereign governments to be convinced, through means other than invasion, that they should also show respect to their people in general are somehow …. the ones that…. are showing a double standard???
Well Richard, let me say, I did not support the attack on Iraq, they did not attack us. I did support pressure to force them to respect their Kurdish citizens. I do not support an attack on Uganda. I do support pressure to force them to respect their gay citizens.
I actually feel pretty comfortable that I am, in fact, totally consistent.

@Richard (“The Dumb One”):
The war in Iraq was ridiculously stupid, based on a pack of lies obvious to ANYONE paying attention at the time, and killed many, many, many more Iraqis than Saddam Hussein ever could have if he had somehow managed to buy something nuclear on the black market and then manage to figure out how to make it work.
Likewise, nations that use the issue of homosexuality, and even kill gay people, in order to distract their admittedly uneducated populations from the actual problems they face, many of them foisted on them by their own governments, shouldn’t be on the teat end of our aid.
Your argument would be consistent if we were talking about bombing places where they kill gays, but, um, we are not. Read your words before you post them. Aloud, if at all possible.
It is a little ironic tho that because of the dangers gays face in these countries, gays are seeking refugee status in western countries at the rate of 140,000 per year. So the wingnuts can either help them where they presently live or welcome them into their communities. dumb dumbs!
I think you folks may of misunderstood me. Just because I am a wing-nut does not mean I support the Iraq War. I most certainly do not.
What I am saying is that ANY unnecessary involvement, *whether you agree with the goals or not, can be viewed as a throwback to colonialism and this kind of western superiority complex.
We understood you just fine Wing-nut. You think that protecting people’s human rights is the same as invading a country under false pretenses and destabalizing an entire rejoin so a megalomaniac can get revenge for daddy. Now go back to crying about how mean we’re being to you because you’re not allowed to throw out bigotry unchallenged.
