Rand Paul And Mike Huckabee Participate In New Gay-Bashing Evangelical Documentary
As we covered briefly last week, the most popular Christian conservative argument against marriage equality and indeed all issues of LGBT equality is that the government is stripping Christians of their religious freedom — freedom to think homosexuality is an abomination and to not provide equal access to gay people. On the surface it seems really clever to accuse the government of being intolerant of religion in aid of being tolerant to marriage equality. Now, in what seems like a colossal death rattle, the anti-gay far-right is rallying around a new documentary that preserves this stupid-disguised-as-clever counterpoint for all time — this way, future generations will get a good laugh at how ridiculous these knuckle-draggers used to be.
The movie is titled Light Wins: How to Overcome the Criminalization of Christianity.
1) Reaganbook. The producers of the film, a “pro-life, pro-family” group called Faith 2 Action, was founded by Janet Porter, who also stars in the film. Porter is also famous for launching “Reaganbook,” a Facebook alternative for Reaganites. The social media platform has since been renamed Freedombook — which is ironic, of course, because the group is on the front lines of the fight to deny freedom to women and the LGBT community.
2) Demon Possessed. Porter also once called Justin Collins, the first openly gay NBA player, “demon possessed,” and that his homosexuality is “very dangerous physically and it’s very dangerous, as we see, to our freedoms in the nation.” Again, the irony is astonishing. A woman whose organization is trying to suppress the freedom of others is herself accusing one gay man of doing the same to the entire nation.

I don’t recall being gay in the top 10 (aka Ten Commandments). I do recall John 8:7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
I guess that doesn’t count since those so called Christians are ‘dumber than a box of rocks’. Hate filled cretins.

Given the fact that Christianity harbors the most followers in the world, I find it interesting that there’s sure no shortage of Christians complaining of religious persecution.
