The Gay left was wracked by paroxysms of hatred and anger directed towards Mormons when they perceived that many of them voted for prop 8. It's about re-defining marriage.
But when Muslim leaders routinely torture and kill same-sex attracted people, there's nary a word.
Not a peep. Much like feminists that rail about America being a hateful misogynistic country but have nothing to say about honor killings, beatings, stonings and the human slavery of women in some Muslim cultures (in fact one has come out saying the full chador is "empowering").
Gay Patriot wonders about this:
Remember how after Prop 8 had passed, how all those angry gay activists marched across Los Angeles to protest outside the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Westwood while hurling insults against that faith and its followers? They reserved special scorn for Mormons, given their support for the successful California ballot initiative enshrining the traditional definition of marriage in the state constitution.
Now, with gays suffering persecution (and execution) in various regimes around the world, left-wing blogger Michael Petrelis wonders Why Didn’t Gays Protest UN’s General Assembly? If they’re going to protest one church opposing state recognition of same-sex marriage, why aren’t the protesting one international institution refusing to condemn extremists of another faith for persecuting and executing gays?
Gay Patriot also points out that there was someone who spoke up against gay oppression.
An eeeeevil straight man: Benjamin Netanyahu!
This Iranian regime is fueled by an extreme fundamentalism that burst onto the world scene three decades ago after lying dormant for centuries. In the past thirty years, this fanaticism has swept the globe with a murderous violence and cold-blooded impartiality in its choice of victims. It has callously slaughtered Moslems and Christians, Jews and Hindus, and many others. Though it is comprised of different offshoots, the adherents of this unforgiving creed seek to return humanity to medieval times.Below is the beginning of his speech. He's the ONE MAN that stood up to dress down people that had no problem sitting politely for an evil nut-job speaking of his wish for mass murder and denying that which has already taken place:
Wherever they can, they impose a backward regimented society where women, minorities, gays or anyone not deemed to be a true believer is brutally subjugated. The struggle against this fanaticism does not pit faith against faith nor civilization against civilization.
It pits civilization against barbarism, the 21st century against the 9th century, those who sanctify life against those who glorify death.
Wow. Ace says this general assembly should make things crystal clear:
There was nothing better than the juxtaposition of Obama's call to make the UN and international law the centerpiece of America's foreign policy and Khadafy's incoherent ramblings.Amen to that.Any place that takes Khadafy seriously isn't an organization we should pay any attention to.
