Sometimes you just have to call a pile of crap Bullshit!

I read this attached article Conservatives explain why they lost on marriage the other day, and one particular statement made by a man named Russell Moore, the president of the Southern Baptist Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission made me so angry, that I found myself waking up in the middle of the night to pen the following:

Dear Dr. Moore,

"There were some people speaking to this issue from my side who were angry and presented a public face of outrage in a way that I don't think was helpful," Moore said. "Evangelicals don't dislike our gay and lesbian neighbors, and we don't mean them harm."

Don't mean gays any harm?

What a load of Bullshit!

For generations you and your ilk have meant them harm in the worst way. You have:

• Castigated them
• Reviled them
• Fired them from their jobs
• Kicked them out of their homes
• Driven them from there families
• Criminalized them,
• Accused them of pedophilia
• Stood by in indifferent silence as they were bullied, beaten, tortured and sometimes killed.
• Instilled in them  as children that they were sick, perverted and evil
• Driven them  to homelessness and even suicide.
• forced them into horrendous 'therapies' that damaged them for life, including chemical castration and aversion therapy.

Now, in this last generation,when they have had enough, and fought for dignity and the right to have equality under the law, you and your kind have fought them tooth and nail, passed laws to limit their citizenship, deny them family; threatening civil war, civil disobedience and the wrath of God if they were allowed to be anything but pariahs, and finally when they have won at least a part of the battle for equality, you have the unmitigated gall to call them your neighbors and assure them you mean  no harm.

You sir, are either a bald faced liar or a hypocrite of the first order.

Of course you mean them harm. You and yours epitomize true evil in the world, not the horns and pitchfork kind you use to keep your followers in line, but true, human evil, the type born of callousness and fanaticism; the type that fosters hopelessness and despair in  children and fear and self loathing in adults.

So don't think that anyone will be taken in by bland assertions that you 'mean no harm', Your intentions have been clear for generations an no one believes it has suddenly gone through a sea change. Gay folks have experienced your 'love and compassion' for all of their lives and know you for who and what you really are.
