If they are right, why do they have to lie?

See, this is something that makes the righteous homophobes so blatantly obvious in their hate. If they’re right, if they truly and honestly believe in their hate as a righteous thing, if they think they are doing the work of their deity and truly working to do a good thing while persecuting us then….

…why do they have to lie so? Why would they have to resort to dishonest tricks, ridiculous claims and blatant smears?

I mean, really, if they’re good and pure and honest and honourable and righteous and holy – why would they have to be manipulative and deceitful? Could it be that being right and good is not nearly as important as their hatred? SURELY NOT! *gasp*

In New Hampshire, Rep. Alfred Baldasaro called gay couples adopting kids as the state SELLING children to gays for $10,000 a time add in some gross comparisons to incest and… gah. Really? How can anyone remotely take such statements seriously?

Ugandan Pastor, Martin Ssempa, one of the forces and cheerleaders for Uganda’s kill gays bill has decided to gain support for the bill by showing an audience graphic gay porn, including scatalogical porn. Porn. Seriously? You want to persecute gays based on gay pornography? Have you even SEEN the straight pornography out there? 2 seconds with google is all it would take to show heterosexual porn every bit as extreme as the worst of homosexual porn. It’s grossly dishonest to believe and present this pornography as limited to gays. Using this was a manipulative attempt to encourage disgust and revulsion – certainly not any attempt to be honest or righteous.

Again in Uganda the Ugandan clergy use children to picket for the kill-gays bill. As well as telling the children to “denounce homosexuality and also to report any child they find getting involved in homosexuality activities.” (Ye gods!)

Of course, such dramatics are hardly limited to one nation how many times do we see homosexuality linked to bestiality? is there a reason they can’t argue against homosexuality (if it is so just and right to do?) that they constantly have to resort to animal sex for a counter argument? You’d almost think their arguments don’t stand up on their own!

And adding to the meme of gay = predator we have Tony Perkins, upon hearing that Obama plans to eliminate DADT, declared that it will lead to increased sexual tension and SEXUAL ASSAULT! that’s right – bring down DADT and the poor straight soldiers are going to be assaulted by the  predatory gays who have been lurking invisible until this moment! Seriously – does anyone remotely believe that? Is that even close to logical? I mean, it’s not like the gay soldiers aren’t already there!

And to finish off we have this truly disgusting piece of deception from the paragons of honesty on the religious right. See there has been a recent judicial ruling in  Florida allowing a Lesbian couple to adopt.

The religious right, naturally, has spat its dummy out and thrown all its toys out of the pram and responded with this. The picture on the right? Is the actual lesbian couple adopting the boy. The picture on the left? A random picture picked off the internet to represent lesbians

Additional fail? I see absolutely nothing in the picture on the left to even remotely imply that they wouldn’t be wonderful, perfect parents.

But the religious right is apparently happy to bring in some sweeping stereotyping, lies and both demonising and judging a couple whose picture they have just appropriated for their hate.

See, looking at all this I can’t help but think – y’know, if you were RIGHT and if you BELIEVED you were right then why why why why WHY do you have to resort to such tactics? More to the point, why would you, especially considering you are claiming the moral high ground and presuming to judge someone on their morality. Why should we trust such malicious, deceptive, manipulative people as being even remotely moral?

And, perhaps more to the point, why the hell do people fall for it?
