Day Of Silence Is Wrong Because Gay Sex Kills?

Posted by Pam Spaulding, Pam's House Blend at 12:24 PM on April 24, 2008.


Encouraging bullying and violence against gays for their own good. Makes sense in the wingnut mind.

Fox News: 'McCain's TV Commercials Contain ... Out-Right Lies'

He's at it again. This time the "like-minded man" with Concerned Women for America is comparing homosexuality to smoking, drinking, toking and hitting the crack pipe. This, friends, is how he objects to the Day of Silence.

Can you imagine officials at a middle school, junior high or high school setting aside a day to promote "tolerance" for heavy smoking and drinking among children?  How about a day where teachers encourage kids to "embrace who they are," pick up that crack pipe and give it a stiff toke?

Neither can I.  The public would go ballistic, and for good reason.  

But that hasn't stopped officials in thousands of schools across the country from promoting other politically correct and socially "in-vogue" behaviors that - both statistically and manifestly - are every bit as dangerous as the aforementioned frowned-upon behaviors.

That's exactly what the homosexual activist "Day of Silence" is all about - advancing, through clever, feel-good propaganda, full acceptance among children of the homosexual lifestyle.

He goes on to cite a study to bolster his claim.
To the consternation of "gay" activist flat-earthers and homosexual AIDS holocaust deniers everywhere, one such study - conducted by pro-"gay" researchers in Canada - was published in the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE) in 1997.  (see the study here: http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/26/3/657.pdf )

While the medical consensus is that smoking knocks from two to 10 years off an individual's life expectancy, the IJE study found that homosexual conduct shortens the lifespan of "gays" by an astounding "8 to 20 years" - more than twice that of smoking.

...This morose reality makes a strong case for a fitting redefinition of so-called "homophobia," that being "Homophobia: The rational fear that 'gay sex' will kill you!"

The fact that we don't have mandatory surgeon general warnings on the side of condom wrappers is a testament to the power and influence wielded by the radical homosexual lobby.  (Warning: Male-male anal sodomy has been proven to shorten your lifespan by up to 20 years.)

As we so often see with the homo-obsessed crowd, in Bam Bam's world, lesbians don't exist or maybe they don't engage in "gay sex". The study, by the way, is quite narrow and clearly is not indicative of the sexual history of all gay men, as Matt would have you believe.

Our analysis is based on a demographic model of male mortality and life expectancy in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. This urban centre, part of the third largest metropolitan population in Canada, was selected because it is known to have a large gay and bisexual population and one of the highest rates of HIV/AIDS mortality of any Canadian city. 2,3 In this city, HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in men between the ages of 25 and 39 years and the leading cause of premature mortality in men before age 75 years.
What does the above have to do with bullying and violence in schools? Matt again makes the tenuous connection between "gay sex" and the Day of Silence.
In light of the irrefutable medical facts, it should be considered criminally reckless for educators to teach children that homosexual conduct is a normal, safe and perfectly acceptable alternative form of sexual expression (or "sexual orientation").  

...Our schools are supposed to be places of learning, not places of political indoctrination.  It's the height of impropriety and cynicism for "gay" activists and school officials to use good-hearted but misguided children as pawns in their attempt to further a deceptive, highly controversial and polarizing political agenda.

DOS is pure, unadulterated propaganda and, based on the medical science, amounts to nothing short of educational malpractice.  With liberal school officials in tow, these militant homosexual activists are brazenly circumventing and abusing parental authority to further this dangerous political agenda.  DOS is also a slap in the face to the many students with traditional moral values.

Sarah Palin is a milestone, for we achieve true gender equality when an incompetent woman goes as far as an incompetent man.

Certainly a Republican, and almost certainly yet another self-hating closet case. How many can there be?

Giving women the vote or ending slavery were also "slaps in the face" to then prevailing "traditional values"

what a load of crap.

If your "traditional value" is intolerance, then too fucking bad.

Some faces deserve a figurative slap.

DOS: Students Rallying for Basic Safety Needs
Posted by: Bouldercreeker on Apr 24, 2008 10:07 PM   
Current rating: 5    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Day of Silence is an all-orientation student led initiative to highlight that queer and gender variant kids live in a profoundly injurious state of silence and fear in most schools around the country. What do they fear? That if they are simply *known* to be gay, bi, or trans they may be harassed, beaten or killed. These protests are attempting to address basic *safety* needs of sexual minority students. The 'homosexual agenda' is about equal protection and the fundamental right to be safe and supported in schools, in churches, workplaces, and in the streets.

I would hope that moral, sensible, informed, and educated people understand that these wingnut cases (while even one is 2 too many) are less in number than we would expect, they do have a small following and most people I've met who are even less than liberal know that the above information simply does not hold water.
As I learned long ago in graduate statistics class, a person can make stats say anything they want them to.
Needless to say, the homosexual "agenda" is exactly as stated above by Bouldercreeker, is right on target. It is about the goal making the world safer for all people, not just homophobes.
Blessings! to all!

Surgeon General warning on condoms? Here's some for you:
Posted by: rickiey on Apr 25, 2008 8:34 AM   
Current rating: 1    [1 = poor; 5 = excellent]
Surgeon General's warning

1. Failure to use with ANYONE is likely to lead to an STD.

2. Failure to use with woman is likely to result in a lifetime of economic slavery.

3. Failure to use with a woman is likely to result in every possible STD that could be gotten from male-male intercourse, plus some that aren't possible from male-male intercourse.

4. Use of this condom in conjunction with a woman may result in having to listen to the woman prattle on topics that are both uninteresting and unimportant. (If previous statement makes you mad, get sense of humor and learn to view things through someone else's viewpoint).

5. Use of this condom in conjunction with a republican is likely to lead to a news scandal and subsequent denial.

6. Use of this condom in conjunction with a democrat is likely to lead to a trial and loss of employment.
