The Media – Promoting Homosexual Sodomy

The Media – Promoting Homosexual Sodomy!
by Flip Benham

See Anne Blythe's article below Flip's commentary.

Here is just one more example of the media painting a beautiful picture of pure and unadulterated evil.  Anne Blythe of The News & Observer , the local newspaper for the city of Durham, North Carolina, tells a story (a whopper of a lie) about the wonders of the homosexual lust fest held on the East Campus of Duke University this past Saturday.  Upon reading the first two sentences of this article you will have no doubt as to her unabashed bias:

Men dressed to the nines in glittery gowns, steep high heels, glistening tiaras and lots of make-up playfully posed for thousands of fans in front of floats on one side of Main Street.

On the opposite side, a half-dozen men from Concord huddled around an amplified megaphone, preaching their version of the Gospel to a crowd that did not want to hear them.

For the life of me, as I was reading this article, I couldn't stop thinking about the Disney classic, “Pinocchio.”  You remember the story.  The good father Gepetto creates his premier puppet “Pinocchio” and wishes that he would become a “real boy.” 

Things happen, however, on the way to becoming a “real boy.”  Pinocchio runs into two villains (Honest John Foul-fellow and his sidekick Gideon) at Stromboli's puppet show and then gets lured off with many other pleasure-seeking, lust-filled boys to a place called “ Pleasure Island .”  It is here that the boys seeking all the pleasure that this life has to give are turned into jackasses.  That is exactly what pleasure-seeking turns boys into – jackasses!  It is the same with homosexual sodomy. 

Pinocchio is almost turned into a jackass himself (tail, ears, hoofs, and an occasional hee-haw), but he learns that life isn't about seeking pleasure for one's self.  It is all about laying one's life down that others might live.  He abandons his own life to rescue his father and Cleo from Monstro the whale.  It is here and only here that one can become a “real boy.”  This is also true for those lost in the sin of homosexual sodomy.

For Anne Blythe to encourage young boys to become jackasses rather than “real boys” is a crime that is fouler than “Honest John Foul-fellow” could ever conger-up.  I'll bet when Anne was a little girl, she never dreamed that she would become like those two villains that tried to lure Pinocchio away from his father and prevent him from becoming a “real boy.” 

She promotes sycophantic infantilism as a beautiful thing: “ Smartly dressed drag queens (a huge oxy-moron) delighted their audience with beauty-queen waves from colorfully decorated floats.”  In so doing she has camouflaged the sin of homosexual sodomy; so that those turned over to this infantile jackasstry may never escape.  In denying the power of Christ to set the homosexual free from his own self-destruction, Anne Blythe has become a spokesperson par excel ante for Satan himself.

Pride parade surges past protesters
Durham event draws thousands

DURHAM - Men dressed to the nines in glittery gowns, steep high heels, glistening tiaras and lots of makeup playfully posed for thousands of fans in front of floats on one side of Main Street .

On the opposite side, a half-dozen men from Concord huddled around an amplified megaphone, preaching their version of the Gospel to a crowd that did not want to hear them.

Nearly 6,000 people had gathered on the edge of Duke University 's East Campus for the 22nd North Carolina Gay Pride Parade.

The parade typically is the big draw in PrideFest, a three-day event that pulls in people from the Carolinas, Virginia and beyond.

Organizers were proud of how much the event had grown since the first one 25 years ago. Events, serious and festive, were scheduled in Chapel Hill, Durham and Raleigh .

"It's just gotten bigger," said Annette Warner, 45, a Wilmington resident who has attended the annual parade for the past 10 years. "But this is the first time I've seen this," she added, pointing to the men across the street shouting Bible passages over a bullhorn.

Flip Benham, the leader of Operation Rescue/Operation Save America, a Concord-based organization that battles abortion, homosexuality and Islam, was ordered by police to turn off the amplifier. He had not gotten the proper noise permit, a lieutenant at the event said.

"We get one day out of the year, and we get people like that who want to preach to us," said John Martin, 34, of Charlotte. "We don't go to their holy roller events and disrupt them. The Bible says to love your neighbor as thyself. It doesn't tell you who to love and not to love."

Once the parade started, the preachers were drowned out by loud cheers, honking horns and buzzing kazoos.

A marching band, political dignitaries and numerous gay advocates, including church groups and college alliances, made their way down Main Street toward the Ninth Street business district.

Smartly dressed drag queens delighted their audience with beauty-queen waves from colorfully decorated floats. Men in Army fatigues topped the Fayetteville United For Pride float displaying the banner: "742 Kicked Out, 2005."

"I've never seen a parade without Santa Claus," said Bobby Archer, 47, of Locust.

North Carolina 's first gay pride rally was organized in Durham 25 years ago after a deadly gay-bashing incident on the banks of the Little River.

Much has changed since that first gathering.

Wib Gulley, counsel for the Triangle Transit Authority and a former six-term state senator, was mayor of Durham in 1986 when he issued an "Anti-Discrimination Week" proclamation that put him up against a recall movement that failed for a lack of signatures.

In his proclamation, Gulley denounced discrimination of people based on race, gender and sexual preference.

"It's a little hard today to imagine the time period 20 years ago, but that wasn't the usual or acceptable approach to anti-discrimination at the time," Gulley said this week in a telephone interview. "I heard about it. But you couldn't say some forms of discrimination were wrong and other unjustifiable forms of bias were OK."

Keith Hayes, spokesman for the Pride Committee of North Carolina, said that although he was saddened by the attention paid to the protesters, he was heartened by what he saw this weekend at PrideFest and in years past.

"We continue to make it safer and easier for people to be out, out as gay people in society," Hayes said. "Every year I see more and more young people out and participating in this event. That's momentous, really. I didn't come out until I was in my 30s."
