Homo Shhhhhh… We're Silencing Christians

Posted by Dan Savage on Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 10:28 AM

Yeah, that's the real problem in America today—the way the gays have managed to completely silence Christians. Can you even recall the last time you heard a peep out of an American Christian? Remember how the gays drove Mike Huckabee from public life? Whatever happened to Rick Warren anyway?

Sigh.

Go and watch the video, marvel at the awesome power of the gay rights lobby, and then take their "Family Values Survey." (Please note: hating and fearing gay people is the only value the Christians behind this survey are interested in.) Unfortunately there's not a "who gives a fuck?" option for the first question ("Do you believe the Bible condemns homosexuality as sin?"), so just vote "undecided." And to this woman...

...I'd like to say this: the gays are perfectly willing to tolerate your story—"tolerate" meaning "put up with" not "be delighted by"—it's your haircut that we can't abide. You can be an ex-lesbian without having to have your hair done by the same woman who frosts the cakes down at the IGA.

Dan, I get the point. You're an anti-christian bigot. If it were Muslims or Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, it wouldn't be quite as hip, but you're still a bigot.

I'm sorry that bad priest touched you in your naughty place, but you really need to move on.

If the Christians think that the gay's agenda to "convert" them by making them feel "guilt" is the first time they've been duped in this way then...I don't know what.

I give up.

I mean, if there were a gay agenda...which there isn't...clearly.

I give up again.

Christians are crazy.

Shut the fuck up Dan Savage! No one cares what you think. You have built yourself up in your mind that you are someone amazing and important, but your not at ALL!

And to Will Radik- Go to hell you pos fag.

Will, apparantly you care. You not only took enough time to read this post, you also got aggravated enough to take the time to post an angry comment. I don't see anything in this post which makes Dan an anti-Christian bigot. Christian's appear to be crying "persecution!" and yet there is none. I have not seen Christians persecuted, silenced, or discriminated against in my entire life. I have seen Christians persecute, silence, and discriminate against non-Christians many times in many ways in many places.

What is a "point of sale fag?" exactly?

Hmm?
