Anti-gay slogan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The "AIDS Kills Fags Dead" slogan is a parody of the advertising slogan "Raid: Kills Bugs Dead", the tagline used in television advertising for the SC Johnson insecticide. The slogan appeared during the early years of AIDS in the United States, when the disease was mainly diagnosed among male homosexuals and was almost invariably fatal. One slogan commonly heard is "love the sinner and not the sin." Other congregations, including the metropolitan Community Churches, commonly affirm homosexuality and believe that neither homosexuality or homosexual sex acts are a sin. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Anti-gay_slogan   (1516 words)

enderu(journal) - NYTimes article on the anti-gay movement. Gay rights leaders say that gay marriage has become useful for their counterparts on the religious right in part because it allows them to tap into an antipathy toward homosexuality. I just don't believe gays should be allowed to marry.'' Rather, their passion comes from their conviction that homosexuality is a sin, is immoral, harms children and spreads disease. But gay marriage is also the new abortion in that it is for groups like Bauer's a base-energizing and fund-raising issue of tremendous power. enderu.livejournal.com /77058.html   (7391 words)

Eschaton For gays and lesbians, this amendment is equivalent to the Stonewall Rebellion, to Anita Bryant's crusade, and to the government's negligence at the height of the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s, at least in terms of enraging people and moving them to action. The Gay City News forgot to mention the many conflicts of star reporter Judith Miller, particularly her relationship to the Middle East Forum. It was gays and young progressives of every stripe, after all, who catapulted Howard Dean and now need a place to funnel their energy. atrios.blogspot.com /2004_02_22_atrios_archive.html   (9110 words)

SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Education -- Officials had feared violence at high school The animosity between gay and straight students at Poway High School was so volatile last spring that school officials said they had to prevent a teenager from wearing an anti-gay slogan on a T-shirt in class. On April 22, sophomore Tyler Chase Harper, 16, wore a shirt with hand-written anti-gay phrases, including "Homosexuality is shameful." He wore it the day after a campus observance of tolerance of gay and lesbian people called "A Day of Silence." The campus was so polarized that the district was slapped with a sexual harassment lawsuit by gay and lesbian students on one side and fielded at least one threatening phone call from a parent opposed to homosexuality. www.signonsandiego.com /news/education/20040822-9999-1mi22tshirt.html   (1252 words)

People's Weekly World - Wealthy right-winger bankrolls anti-gay measure Though this particular campaign is directed against gay residents of Ypsilanti, lawyers for the YCFE are pretty sure that overturning this ordinance will negatively affect protections for people of color and other members of the community. If right-wing backers of the anti-gay measure believe this ordinance gives "special" privileges to gay people, how do they view the city's policy regarding people in the other protected categories listed in the ordinance, the group asked. YPSILANTI, Mich. - In a press conference May 8, the co-chair of the Ypsilanti Campaign for Equality (YCFE), Lisa Zuber, exposed the source of funding for a ballot initiative forced into this November's election that would allow for discrimination against gay people. www.pww.org /article/articleprint/1227   (473 words)

Boston.com / News / Nation / Groups hold dueling pro- and anti-gay days NEW YORK -- Irked by the success of the nationwide Day of Silence, which seeks to combat anti-gay bias in schools, conservative activists are launching a counter-event this week called the Day of Truth aimed at mobilizing students who believe homosexuality is sinful.

"AIDS FIGHT IS SKEWED BY FEDERAL CAMPAIGN EXAGGERATING RISKS Most Heterosexuals Face Scant Peril but Receive Large Portion of Funds" Rabin, openly gay and deeply committed to the effort, ran focus groups in a half-dozen cities to gauge attitudes toward the disease. Thus, for gay males the infection rate was 1000 times greater compared to heterosexuals outside of specific risk groups.

Guardian Glad to be grey (and not anti-gay) It is a measure of how the Tory party has changed that its MPs are now more afraid of being thought anti-gay than of being gay in the first place. His rightwing rival, David Davis, does have a logo and a slogan, "modern conservatives", in fashionable lower case, printed in purple and yellow, so that his campaign backdrop is like the blazers of an obscure but expensive prep school. He would bring, he said, no "baggage" to the job, making it quickly clear that he was referring to the failures of cabinets Mr Portillo was in rather than to his gay past. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4206947-103685,00.html   (562 words)

Tories prep anti-gay marriage ads - Political Forums Yes there are, but those who are for gay marriage seem to be wilfully ignorant, I think due to their desire shove it in the face of religionists. We now know that Sikhs are quite opposed, we know how the gays are treated in the Muslim world so I we can guess what the official Islamic line on gay marriage is, and of course devout Catholics of all ethnic backgrounds are also not onside with gay marriage. Opposition to gay marriage is hardly exclusive to WASPs, as the recent controversy from India showed. www.mapleleafweb.com /forums/index.php?showtopic=2809   (2783 words)

Anti-Gay – Book Review In the meantime, gay is the best we can do for those who do not wish to commit themselves to a member of the opposite sex. According to the anti-gay thinkers, not only is gay not good, it is positively rotten, and they don’t want anything to do with it. The anti-gay movement, for those who don’t know, is a collection of people who are homosexual (or who at least have homosexual sex), and claim to be sickened by the way the “gay community” has evolved. www.galha.org /glh/164/simpson.html   (813 words)

Conference speakers bare hidden anti-gay agenda From the beginning, gay rights proponents have claimed that anti-gay measures like Amendment 2 are driven by individuals and organizations with an exclusive religious agenda, inherently at odds with basic notions of pluralism and political inclusion. While these comments appear to stray from the conference theme, they bring to light what appears to be a shared motive of exclusion in the name of religion which is often hidden from the debate when the issue of gay rights unfolds in the public arena. This item may have been inspired by Ron Ray, an active and vociferous critic of gays serving in the military. www.publiceye.org /ifas/fw/9408/agenda.html   (414 words)
