Facebook Homosexuality Hate Page

As if grammar-challenged homophobic epithets on Facebook weren’t enough social-networking hate for one day, a Christian group started a Facebook page entitled, “Protest Homosexuality,” which lists a hodge-podge of biblical quotes, and links to articles with titles like, “Hope for Homosexuals,” “Homosexual Urban Legend, The Series,” and “A Gay Christian: An Oxymoron.” Not exactly stocking stuffer reading material this holiday season, but a frightening journey into the world of hatemongering.

“Before you homosexuals make any comments, actually read the article!” the most recent post says, and it links to an article about an “ex-gay” and how miserable this man’s life was until he was “cured” of his homosexuality. I love how the haters think we aren’t in agreement with them simply because we haven’t read their argument. News flash: we know the bible, we know all about your conversion theories, we know what you think about sex. We just know that it’s all poppycock.

They claim being gay and religious are oxymoronic, but what’s actually oxymoronic is their tagline on the Facebook page, which reads, "We do not hate anyone here. Our desire is to see souls saved. But at the same time we need to protect our children from the homosexual activists.” Ah yes, the age old, “We don’t hate you, we just hate what you do,” rhetoric.

I know you can’t judge a book by its cover usually, but I like to pride myself on being an expert outer, someone whose gaydar is honed in to detect a member of the rainbow coalition from miles away. I couldn’t help but notice that many of the followers on this page look ... well, a little gay. Perhaps not surprising if you look at the history of evangelicals and conservative politicians and others that spew messages of hate because they cannot come to terms with their own sexuality.

Tell Facebook to remove this page. Messages of hate violate Facebook's terms, and don't belong anywhere on their network.
