Scott Lively Denounces Homocons

"Our embrace of people like Tammy Bruce and Camille Paglia (as brilliant as the latter may be to quote on feminist issues) is the 'synthesis' phase of the Hegelian dialectic and poisonous to our theology and agenda. The rise of 'conservative' homosexuals is a ruse to sucker us into endorsing 'gay rights' in a slightly different form. Think about it for a moment. If these people were truly on our side politically or ideologically they would consider their homosexual inclinations a private matter and a challenge to be overcome, and never publicly identify as 'gay.' Lets have compassion for homosexuals but never align ourselves with them politically or give them a platform to legitimize their lifestyle. Anyone who self-identifies as a unrepentant homosexual is an enemy of the truth, no matter how 'conservative' they may sound. Love them as lost sheep, but hate the false premise they live their lives by.  When we endorse 'conservative gays' we are helping the entire 'gay' movement to advance at the expense of the Bible. Lets not dance with the devil!" - Hate group leader Scott Lively, failing to mention Matt Drudge, the most infamous homocon of them all.

Liberty Counsel Had A Really Shitty Year

Liberty Counsel recaps their 2013:
In 2013, as in past years, we continued to diligently promote and protect natural marriage and families. During this year, we filed federal lawsuits challenging laws in California and New Jersey that prevent minors from receiving Christian counseling to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions or behavior. We continued to defend a Massachusetts pastor who faces charges from the radical group, Sexual Minorities of Uganda (SMUG), for allegedly violating international law while visiting Uganda, simply because he spoke Biblical truth about same-sex activity. Liberty Counsel filed two briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court on cases dealing with the definition of marriage.
And what do all those items have in common? Snork!

From The Ugandan Government Website

From the official website of the Ugandan Parliament:
The Anti-Homosexuality Bill, 2009 seeks to establish a comprehensive consolidated legislation to protect the traditional family by prohibiting any form of sexual relations between persons of the same sex; and the promotion or recognition of such sexual relations in public institutions and other places through or with the support of any government entity in Uganda or any other non governmental organization inside or outside the country. The Committee on Legal and Parliamentary Affairs said in its Report, “The Bill aims at strengthening the nation’s capacity to deal with emerging internal and external threats to the traditional heterosexual family.” The Committee also said that there is need to protect the children and youth of Uganda who are vulnerable to sexual abuse and deviations as a result of cultural changes, uncensored information technologies, parentless child development settings and increasing attempts by homosexuals to raise children in homosexual relationships through adoption and foster care. The Anti Homosexuality Bill provides a fourteen year jail term for one convicted for the offence of homosexuality; and imprisonment for life for the offence of aggravated homosexuality.

HRC Denounces Uganda's Anti-Gay Bill

"Representatives of the Ugandan government have launched a shameful sneak attack on their own people.  If this bill becomes law, countless LGBT Ugandans will be condemned to violence or prison. The United States government has a moral obligation to use every tool at its disposal to put a stop to this legislation. Perhaps most disgusting is the fact that American extremists have worked tirelessly in the name of Christianity to see this bill passed. True people of faith know that calling for the imprisonment of an entire community is not in line with Christian values. American Christian faith leaders with ties to Uganda must speak out and call on their colleagues in Uganda to oppose this bill from becoming law." - Chad Griffin, head of the Human Rights Campaign, in a press release that blames (in part) American evangelical Scott Lively for the passage of today's bill.

Scott Lively Launches Bid For MA Governor

Earlier this year we learned that Scott Lively, who is arguably the most evil of all the American anti-gay crackpots, was planning to run for governor of Massachusetts.  Yesterday MassLive reported that Lively's campaign has been launched.
His campaign motto is "Qualified. Experienced. Electable." Publicly available campaign finance records show he has about $3,000 in his coffers, including a $2,000 loan to himself. Lively said he does not believe being the target of a 2012 lawsuit in federal court leveled by Sexual Minorities Uganda in connection with his anti-homosexuality campaign in that country will hurt his chances as a candidate. "If anything, I think it will help me when people learn how ridiculous the lawsuit is," he said during an interview. Lively is running as an independent in the "bluest of the blue states," he said. He said he will be a viable option for conservatives whom, he said, have been abandoned by Republicans and have no connection with Democrats, to whom he refers as "Communists." "The people of Massachusetts need a candidate who can clearly and unapologetically articulate Biblical values without fear or compromise," his campaign literature states. "They need a candidate who will tell the simple truth that abortion is murder, and homosexuality is condemned by God (but that Jesus forgives those who repent)."

Pastor Scott Lively Files For Dismissal With First Circuit Court Of Appeals

Scott Lively has filed a demand that his trial for crimes against humanity be suspended while he pursues a dismissal with the First Circuit Court of Appeals. Lively's first motion to dismiss was rejected by the district court in August. From today's notice to the lower court:
This Court cannot be the first tribunal, worldwide, to recognize a claim for "persecution” based upon sexual orientation, because the ATS [Alien Tort Statute] precludes judicial creativity, requires judicial restraint, and provides only limited jurisdiction over clearly defined and universally accepted norms (Ex. A at 15-21); and (3) Lively’s alleged speech and conduct are not “criminal activity” but core political expression protected by the First Amendment (Ex. A at 21-25). The lower court usurped its authority in refusing to dismiss this action, because it is clearly without jurisdiction and SMUG’s claims are firmly foreclosed by the First Amendment. An extraordinary and immediate intervention by this Court is necessary because Lively has exhausted all alternatives and has no other viable means to confine the lower court to the lawful exercise of its proscribed jurisdiction, and to safeguard his First Amendment rights.
Lively is being defended pro bono by the Liberty Counsel. (Via Equality Case Files)
