Family Research Council: Obama program to help gay elderly is wasted since gays die young anyway. Is FRC again using "science" of known hate group?
Posted by John Aravosis (DC) at 11:34 AM

Aside from the hateful venom here, what's really interesting is that the Family Research Council's Tony Perkins appears to be, yet again, quoting the research of a known hate group. The whole "gays die young" thing is the brain child of Paul Cameron, a debunked "doctor" who was kicked out of various medical societies, and whose anti-gay research, the Southern Poverty Law Center says, has "echoes of Nazi Germany." The SPLC also labels Cameron's organization a "hate group." (Links to proof of all of this are in this post.)

You'll note that the Family Research Council, to this day, still publishes Cameron's anti-gay "Nazi Germany" research on its Web site.



Today's surprise? The rather fey president of the heterosexist organization, Tony Perkins, didn't disappoint yesterday when he criticized the Obama administration's new program to help elderly gay people. Perkins' reasoning? What's the point in having a program to help elderly gays when they all die young anyway? Get it? We're gay, so we all have AIDS and die, I guess. What else could Perkins have possibly meant?

1. Die early? Yeah, many are murdered thanks to organizations like the Family Research Council...

...and their agenda of hatred.

That's what it is, biblical bullshit and such perpetuates the bigotry and gives permission to those who might otherwise be able to stifle their homophobia.

Fuckers.

:nuke:

4. Why can't we classify these "family" organizations as hate groups yet?

[BolivarianHero]

6. They've infiltrated the Beltway and the Pentagon...

Once you are in that deep, you can get away with murder.

5. Tony Perkins...

You mean that White supremacist who spoke for the Kouncil of Konservative Kitizens (Hey, I tried...)...The crazier these people get, the more moderates are able to draw the connection between "mainstream" Christian homophobia and Fred Phelps' lunacy.

17. "Most gay people don't even live to the age of 40"....

That quote is from a young conservative in the documentary 'The Education of Shelby Knox' - was an eye-opener. People really believe this.

[donheld]

18. If the fools of FRC think we die early then they shouldn't whine

about Obama helping gay elderly whom FRC think don't exist.
