I Love My Dead Gay Son! (part 2) - Randall Terry, Operation Rescue founder
My title, not his, of course. That would require a sense of humor...or a soul.

http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=38700

As you may have read here at WorldNetDaily, or seen on CNN, or read in any number of newspapers across the nation, my son has declared that he is a practicing homosexual. I am still grieving for my son.

My son decided to go to the homosexual press about his "lifestyle," which also brought the mainstream (and usually pro-homosexual) media rushing to my door, prying into our family, our history and our pain. And, of course, even though they almost never get the facts right, they always somehow manage to further the homosexual agenda.

...a little further down...

Homosexual behavior is suicide on the installment plan.

Homosexual behavior is a sexual addiction – complete with all the cause-and-effect issues that accompany other addictions. Homosexual behavior is a degrading, self abusive behavior that mars the body and the soul. It is wrong. And it is a behavior that is chosen.

11. One suspects that for homophobes like Terry
...gay sex is just like crack cocaine, try it once and you're hooked for life. One suspects that poor Randall has a daily struggle trying to stay straight.

March him off to the lunatic fringe and pity him.

3. I'd love to ask Randall Terry when he chose to fiddle with women...
"choice" is a silly argument that doesn't even hold any water. He could choose being gay as much as I could choose being straight.

Somebody should show him what it's like by reversing the playing field. Make him feel persecuted, amongst other things...

4. Well, you have to consider, Hypno...
that for guys like Randall Terry (and anybody who's of his, shall we flatter him by saying, 'philosophical' bent), the only acceptable sex is heterosexual sex, intended only for procreation, and that you do not enjoy. It's no wonder he's scared shitless of homosexuality -- he hates all sexuality, and homosexuality is completely different from his stunted, sick version of heterosexuality.

Guys like Randall Terry don't want to see anybody derive any joy from sex. That homosexuals derive only pleasure from it (in the sense that they ain't 'makin' babies') is what makes him so nuts, I think.

6. That is the point that the gay community needs to hammer.
Heterosexuality is a choice if homosexuality is a choice.

Randal Terry lusts after his son's boyfriends but controls himself, isn't that what he is saying?

5. He needs to go talk to Dennis Shepherd
and find out what it means to have a gay son who is brutally murdered by hatemongers.

7. There is one good quote in this piece though.
Edited on Sun May-30-04 03:37 PM by DarkPhenyx
"I know many well-meaning people think that when we love someone unconditionally, it means we must accept everything they say and do. That is not true. As parents, we do not tolerate dangerous behavior from our children when they are young. Even though we love them fiercely, our love does not mean "anything goes." This principle holds true when our children are grown."

We should remember to use this ever time were are told that we "hate America". The source and the words would work quite nicely against the Conservative opposition. I always enjoy being able to use their own words and actions against them.

<on edit>

He also goes on to point out that, absent the Religious arguemtns, they really have no defense against Homosexual Marraige, or any of the other position being staked out. He admits that without the Religious arguemnt they are going to lose. Something else we need to beat them to death with.

8. actually some of what he says could bite their side on the butt
Why? Because absent the Created order and standards of the Almighty, there is no reason to oppose same-sex-marriage. Why should we deny two consenting people who love each other the right to be married?

The arguments against homosexual marriage involving children (having or raising them) won't hold up. Older couples who marry cannot have children. And children are raised in homes without two natural parents every day. Sometimes a grandparent raises a child. These scenarios might not be optimum, but it is done by millions every day.

Arguments over "traditional marriage" are also of little value. We've had a lot of traditions that needed changing. This could be another one. Traditions are important, unless they stand in the way of liberty. Moreover, who is to say which tradition is the best? America's, or ancient Greece's or ancient Rome's, where they openly practiced homosexuality?

end of quote

If even he is saying the children and tradition arguments are bogus then it is hard for others on his side to use them. His crap about God is easily beaten since we have a secular government.

10. Screwing around on your wife is also a choice.
One that Randall gladly made.
