Blender OregonRed is on a roll -- he did a little retooling of a Wildmon AFA e-blast earlier. Now you can see some handiwork on a NOM missive sent by Brian Brown. It's a hoot.

| Dear T, All the news you never heard this week: Black pastors in DC rise up when the city council passes a bill to recognize same-sex marriage performed outside the district. City Councilmember Marion Barry, that crack-smokin', prostitute-layin', marriage-defiling hypocrite, suddenly decides to switch his vote and vote "no." The douche bag voted the first time without even knowing what he was voting for! This is the reason Washington is fucked up! "The black community forgets about its own gay people; black folk prefer to get it "on the DL", if you know what i'm talking about. " Does the black political establishment care? Or are they going to keep lying to their most loyal voters? The drama keeps unfolding in our midst. In Maine, politicians voted for same-sex marriage, knowing that they were doing what is right in guaranteeing the same rights to all of their constituents. A new coalition, the Maine Marriage Coalition, has been formed to attack Marriage Equality in Maine. (You can fight back! Fight for Marriage Equality!) But the biggest drama of the week is how the "christian" right is using Carrie Prejean. You can see links below to me and Maggie talking about how we are using Carrie to promote our hatred of innocent law-abiding gay citizens. Here's the point I want to make to you: This young woman is not being smeared and attacked for anything she doesn't deserve; she is being used for one thing: to promote our agenda of raking in cash, cash, and lots of cash. For this she gets dumped as soon as we realize how messed up this poor child is from a lifetime of pageant crap. -- so we look for the next victim we can use. We need more young men and women with courage--and a community that backs them up. Do you know a fine young man or woman who wants to wants to have the freedon to marry their love for life? NOM needs to stop lying and being the bullies, to find the courage to stop being so hostile. Help us find peace within our own minds so that we can let others be free to live their own lives. Stay strong, and would you please do this for me? Pray for Carrie, that she realizes how she has been used all her life, and that this alignment with us has proved no different. Our movement which no longer appears to believe that tolerance is a two-way street; a movement that tries to hurt people who've never hurt anyone, in order to intimidate and prevent anyone from marrying the person who makes them mutually happy. We want to divide and distract attention from the real issue: Gay marriage has absolutely no consequences on our lives. We will still be free to practice "opposite marriage". |
God's blessing on you and your family always, And remember, Stop hating everyone who doesn't practice our religion! b _brown@nationformarriage.org |
| NOM Interviews of the Week! Maggie v. Perez Hilton on Larry King Live They are two of the stupidest people on this planet! Brian Brown on CNN Headline News - Stop it, already! Go away! Maggie Gallagher from the National Opposite Marriage issues this statement. I told you it wouldn't work. NOM President Maggie Gallagher also issued a statement Tuesday sympathizing with Prejean over the release of her modeling picture and saying "! I could never look like that! No man will ever want me -- i'll never get married!". ... Poor Carrie is also from a very, very screwed up family and she is taking it out on everyone else around her. She is being USED by NOM and the "churches". "Of course Carrie is not perfect," Gallagher said. "so, neither of us has the right to interfere with others' lives, just because we are so unhappy with ours!" |
From the Sharon Herald (largest paper near the college) comes word that John Gechter will be permitted to graduate with a GCC degree. In a deal struck with the college, Gechter must complete his two remaining classes elsewhere which can then be transferred back to GCC for his degree.
Gechter had previously been suspected when school officials learned of his roles in gay male pornography. Gechter claims he was using the money earned to finance his education. A video was discovered by another student who shared it with the general student body. Gechter was two classes away from completing his undergraduate degree.
Gechter states he will drop plans for a lawsuit in return for this resolution. He plans to move to New York City where he has been cast in a play.
As for the students who spread the information (and the video?)?
<;GCC also did not offer any specific comment as to whether any students were punished for spreading the e-mail about Gechter, only stating that “in mid-April, the Office of Student Life and Learning at Grove City College received information indicating one of our students was actively involved in the hardcore pornographic adult entertainment industry.”
Student reaction seems mixed with some students sympathetic to Gechter for being suspended so close to graduation.
Other students seem in la-la land, stating that they do not believe Gechter was harassed at their good Christian environment. Seriously? I've been to a whole lot of churches in my life and met a lot of very human Christians engaging in gossip, slander, and other nasty low down behavior. I also attended a Catholic university so I definitely know what happens in that kind of good Christian environment.
I am glad things worked out for Gechter and hope other students take heed to enroll in schools that accept federal financial aid if they plan to finance their education by freelance work in the adult entertainment industry. Still, I can't help wondering if the students who "gossiped" this information around the campus even get that they violated a Christian code of conduct?
How can the College act in "good faith" if these students and those who allegedly sent "hate email" to Gechter go about their way with nary a backward glance?
Blender OregonRed has decided to make humorous use of the anti-gay e-blasts landing in his inbox by rewriting them and sending them back to the offending organization.
His first re-edit was for the American Family Association's "Senate poised to give special protection status to pedophiles" missive. It's below the fold.
