It must be terrible for those misunderstood sweet gentle kind loving racists and homophobes, when all they want to do is enjoy their "live and let live philosophy", to be so mistreated by those nasty liberals ~ ~ Sooz

Southern Baptist leader: Liberals ‘ostracized’ the KKK and homophobes will be next

Civil rights advocates have pushed most racists into the shadows and now a leader at the Southern Baptist Convention is worried that that the LGBT movement could even force homophobes to be “ostracized to the level of being Ku Klux Klansmen.”

During a Tuesday interview with the Heritage Foundation’s Istook Live, Richard Land — who is in charge of addressing social, moral, and ethical concerns as president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission — said he wouldn’t approve of his gay and lesbian friends joining the Boy Scouts.

“We’re not talking about ostracizing people,” Land argued. “They know that I do not approve of their lifestyle, they know that I believe the Bible does not approve of their lifestyle. But that does not give me any reason to treat them any differently than I would anyone else when it comes to the workplace or when it comes to social activities. But the Boy Scouts have a right to have an association.”

LGBT activists, however, are not as tolerant of others, according to Land.

“They do not believe in a live and let live philosophy,” the Southern Baptist leader explained. “Let’s be very clear about what their agenda is, their agenda is to have the homosexual lifestyle affirmed by society as healthy and normal and as a perfectly acceptable to young people and to have those who disagree with that ostracized the level of being Ku Klux Klansmen.”

“[T]he Boy Scouts are an icon and so the homosexual activists have gone after the icons, the cultural icons of our culture,” he added. “They’ve gone after the military, the most admired institution in American society, the American military; they’ve gone after Disney, the family-friendly — supposedly — network and family-friendly entertainment venture; they’ve gone after marriage, what can be holier than marriage?”

“And now they’re going after the Boy Scouts, nothing is more American than Apple Pie than Boy Scouts. They’re after every front.”

Heheheheh

This really is hilarious.

A few months ago I was... um.......discussing, some things with a Southern Baptist minister. He knows I'm married to a black man. We got on to the issue of marriage. The "conversation" ended when I couldn't stop laughing. He said "first marriage between the races, now homersexuals. What next? Marriage for beastiologists?"

Siiigh--first interracial marriage that pops into my mind that is biblical is Ruth and Boaz...listed in the family tree of our Lord...

As for homophobes, personally I would be more scared of liars, gossips, murderers, and cheats if I was going to pass judgement (which I'm not) than gays...even the SBC can't understand the divide between that which is secular and that which is the Church?The Boy Scouts is not a church organization, nor is a gay person a perf just because they are gay!

Well, since the same "arguments" against interracial marriage are now used against same-sex marriage, I guess his comments are no surprise.

I'm always amazed how well informed those guys are about sexual matters.
Sounds interesting, though.

lol. Yeah, it does sound interestiing. I'm thinking maybe "homersexuals" are people who have a Simpsons' fetish

I thought more about Home Depot's Homer.
