another naughty pastor

Dennis Hayes, an associate pastor at St. Martin's Evangelical Lutheran Church and School in Watertown, South Dakota was arrested on charges of sexual conduct with a minor. Watertown Police also found what they said was child porn on his PC at home.


I've not been able to find out whether Hayes delivered sermons on homosexuality. However, as he was a member of WELS (Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheron Synod), there are references to the subject on their website.

Update - As homosexuality is referred to as a sin on WELS, I consider this man a hypocrite and this post is meant to reflect on his hypocrisy and nothing else. Thanks Imagine20 for your input.

jesse helms dead, media silent on his homohobia and racism

Jesse Helms died today at the age of 86.

The media is describing him as a "conservative hero."

I remember him as a racist and homophobe.

"Senator No" meet Citizen Yes. Goodbye and good riddance.

exodus welcomes back richard cohen

 

 

  

According to another blog, Exodus may be welcoming back Richard Cohen, he being the guy who's idea of reparative counseling involves such things as having people beat the shit out of a pillow with a tennis racket and appearing on Comedy Central placing two fingers together and burping  as proof being gay is something that is curable.

 

Perhaps he's figured out he's been doing it wrong all this time.

 

Perhaps not.

anti-gay group calls for mcdonalds boycott

 

The American Family Association is launching a boycott against McDonalds.

They're not telling McDonald’s who they can hire to work for the company, nor are they demanding that they stop serving Big Macs to gays and lesbians.

They just don't want McDonald's supporting businesses run by gays and lesbians, that's all.

The idea that McDonald's is promoting a "gay agenda" just from some guy having a seat on the NGLCC's board of directors or because it's logo appears on a website is about as absurd and dishonest as selling a video about an ex-gay with HIV and not telling anyone he's still having sex with guys...

Oh.

The country is falling apart, people are losing their homes, no one has money to buy food or pay bills, jobs are being lost, people are being made scared by stupidity and ignorance and these assholes are bitching about gays and lesbians?   Don't these family values people have better things to do?

this is why we have the right to remain silent, harlow cuadra

You and or the person who wrote this on your behalf is doing you no favors, especially with one week before an important pre-trial hearing.

quote of the day

A queer person voting Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.

From Dawn In Maine, a contributor at Pam's House Blend in response to weak claims by the Log Cabin Republicans that they're coming under attack from Pam Spaulding over their John McCain endorsement.
