Homo Gays: Coming To Your Town
Posted by Sarah Mirk on Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 11:57 AM
Watch out, Arkansas, you could be full of gay people. That's the premise for a new educational DVD from the homo-hatin' American Family Association (at 28 minutes long, the film is "perfect for viewing during Sunday School" the AFA promises!) which uses the "former Christian resort town" of Eureka Springs, AR, as the tragic example of what will happen if the forces of diversity and tolerance take over every small town in America (including yours).
From their press release about the film - which you can order alone or as part of a five pack for the whole family! Christmas presents are totally covered this year.
"...the activists are now in the process of turning Eureka Springs into a haven for homosexuals. 'They're Coming To Your Town' shows how, using deceitfulness and lies, homosexuals maneuvered themselves into positions of power and then used those positions to promote their agenda. 'They're Coming To Your Town' is an eye-opener to those who are not familiar with how homosexuals use the system to attain their goals."
The DVD's trailer doesn't actually say what damage the gay agenda has done to Eureka Springs but some old jowly persons seem so upset at the situation that they're liable to get up from their La-Z-Boys:
At least the enemies of gays are really shoddy filmmakers.

Hilarious! I think maybe we should adopt that gay city logo. It's pretty swanky.
SHIT! We have already let this happen here in Portland. Dang it....
hahahaha
I'm told my uncle (who was one of the plaintiffs who took Arkansas' "sodomy laws" to court and had them overturned) and his partner of more than 25 years, as well as my grandmother (a rights activist), are featured in this charming little film. I haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet, though.
My uncle and his husband (I can't view them any other way) were among the first couples to register for the town's "Couples Registry," and my grandmother had plans to register with her boyfriend, who sadly passed away before it was available. Eureka Springs is actually a very cool, weird little Victorian town, and everyone is thrilled that the "Christians" are dwindling in their bigoted presence. It's one of those remarkable deep-blue progressive islands in the vast wasteland of ignorance and complicity and even hatred I left behind in the South.
Until Bryan and Jim can have legal rights of union, I will never marry. And I hope that the cultural/religious institution of marriage and the legal institution of civil union rights can be "unwed" from one another, so that those who use "they want to change marriage!" and the implicit threat that churches will be forced to "marry" gays can't be used to continue creating second-class citizens and unequal civil rights.
