Last week New York's most widely-read Spanish-language newspaper, El Diario, published an editorial supporting marriage equality and obliquely criticizing state Sen. Ruben Diaz for his upcoming anti-gay rally. Yesterday Diaz announced that he will be spearheading a boycott of the paper because of their supposedly anti-Christian positions.
The Newspaper, El Diario La Prensa, calls itself “The Champion of the Hispanics.” But you will never read or find a reporter from El Diario La Prensa covering one of the hundreds of events that we Evangelical Christians celebrate throughout the year. They never cover or report news about the Grand Evangelical Children’s Parade that is held every year. They never cover a celebration of Bishops Day or The Day of the Superintendents. They never cover a single Pastors Day of the many that occur throughout the year. They never send a reporter to cover any of the great campaigns of evangelists such as Yiye Avila, Jorge Raschke or many other great evangelists. And they never cover the New York Hispanic Clergy Organization’s Annual Banquet which is held to honor our pastors and leaders. All our activities are geared to help prevent crime in our communities, for example, taking drug addicts, prostitution and criminals off the street, but El Diario La Prensa does not care. But when it comes to an event regarding homosexuals or an event in favor of abortion, even if there are four people attending, El Diario La Prensa highlights these events on its front pages.According to Diaz, every fifty cents spent to purchase a copy of El Diario is money spent to support abortion and gay marriage.
The American Family Association has relaunched their boycott of Home Depot for supporting the dastardly homosexual agenda.
Home Depot's website now states the company's support for "Out and Equal Workplace Advocates," a gay political activist organization heavily promoting legalization of gay marriage and gays in the military, and celebrating activities such as Transgender Remembrance Day. AFA has repeatedly asked The Home Depot to remain neutral in the culture wars, but the company has continued to promote the homosexual agenda. On March 29, AFA invited The Home Depot to meet with AFA to discuss our concerns. They did not respond.Please consider dropping a line to Home Depot and thanking them for their support.
Citing his opposition to LGBT rights, GLAAD has issued a call to boycott all of Donald Trump's businesses. In addition to GLAAD's boycott, AOL News reports that the International Gay & Lesbian Travel Association will decide next month whether to remove Trump's holdings from their list of recommended properties. According to AOL's story, gay travel agents are already steering their customers away from Trump's resorts. Below is GLAAD's boycott list.
Days after Donald Trump announced that gay people deserve no civil rights at all, some activists are calling for a boycott of his businesses.
In New York, home to one of the largest gay and lesbian communities in the U.S., Trump's comments may end up biting him in the ass-ets. "He's an extreme bigot," says Allen Roskoff, who was the first openly gay appointed official in New York City and has served under Gov. Mario Cuomo and Mayor David Dinkins, among others." Roskoff adds: "Not only should gays be furious, we should be boycotting the products of the advertisers on his TV show" - "Celebrity Apprentice," which premiered Sunday night on NBC-TV "and certainly boycotting his casinos and hotels and apartment buildings." Noting that Trump recently switched his stance on abortion from pro-choice to pro-life, Roskoff says: "His game plan is to appeal to the extreme right." But he continues: "How he does business in New York, how he's tolerated is beyond me. I think things are going to change for him."The above-linked article notes that Trump's daughter Ivanka has attended marriage equality fundraisers.
Yesterday Porno Pete LaBarbera posted the above boycott letter sent to the management group of Chili's Restaurants because of a donation the company made to support the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's annual Creating Change conference. LaBarbera is especially angry because his "undercover spies" reported that the conference featured (GASP!) unisex restrooms. Outrageous!
Lots of companies, of course, donate to the Task Force, but Porno Pete's boycott against Chili's is actually meant as a response to the "hateful anti-Christian" boycott of Chick-Fil-A. But let's use his link anyway and thank Chili's for supporting the civil equality of all Americans.
Thank Chili's for supporting equality.
This just in from the Lucas camp:
We prevailed! Congratulations to everyone who stood with me in support of Israel. With your help it took only eight hours to accomplish our mission. The LGBT Center has decided it will not host the party by Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW), scheduled for March 5th. According to an email I just received personally from Glennda Testone, executive director of New York's LGBT Center, it has been determined that “this event is not appropriate to be held at our LGBT Community Center." [snip] I stand with Israel for its right to defend itself, never to be exterminated again. Even if the entire world will think differently, I will not change my mind. I will always fight anti-Semitism in the world however it may try to hide.Here's what this was all about.
"I'm preparing to organize a boycott that would certainly involve some of the [NYC LGBT] Center's most generous donors. It was an inexcusable decision on the Center's part to associate itself with a hate group like Israeli Apartheid Week, but there's still time for them to reverse course and begin restoring their reputation."
"At first I thought this was a joke. Israel is the only country in the Middle East that supports gay rights, while its enemies round up, torture, and condemn gay people to death -- often by publicly hanging or stoning them to death. If the LGBT Center wants to host a fundraising and awareness party for anti-semites, they might as well go all the way and host a tea dance for Fred Phelps." - Gay porn producer and actor Michael Lucas, in a press release announcing a boycott of the NYC LGBT Center.
Lucas, a GOProud supporter who pens anti-Arab/pro-Israel pieces for the Advocate, says that "anti-Zionism is new anti-Semitism."
The GOProud/CPAC kerfuffle is the cover story for today's Metro Weekly, which should appear online by the end of the day. Reporter Chris Geidner interviewed me for about an hour on Monday, so we have to see how much of my take was, uh, printable. Here's the teaser, via press release:
GOProud has a fight on its hands. From the left, right and middle, organizations and activists argue with, debate and even ignore the gay conservative group that’s now heading into its second year at CPAC, the annual conservative conference. But – in the conservative arena that is the group’s aim – GOProud is winning, as an attempted boycott because of the group’s CPAC participation fizzled and the group is making serious inroads in the conservative movement. From longtime conservative activists like Grover Norquist to new media names like Andrew Breitbart, GOProud is grabbing attention – and friends – in the conservative movement. Metro Weekly senior political writer Chris Geidner talks with GOProud, allies and critics as CPAC gets under way – and as GOProud looks to the future.
SPLC-certified hate kingpin Porno Pete LaBarbera has decided to fire back at the "silly" boycott of Chick-Fil-A by launching his own boycott of Chili's. From the American Family Association's OneNewsNow site:
LaBarbera, founder of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, argues that Chick-fil-A is a fine Christian company and suggests that a boycott of the company is absurd. But he points out that another popular restaurant — Chili’s — supports the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, which he says promotes polyamory, the practice of having more than one open romantic relationship at a time. “[That group] holds an annual ‘Creating Change’ seminar with some of the most deviant workshops you’ve ever seen,” says LaBarbera. “They promote so-called ’sexual freedom,’ which basically wants to do away with all sex-oriented laws in the United States such as limiting adult industries near neighborhoods.” According to the family advocate, NGLTF is a left-wing organization — and Chili’s supports it. “And so we’re calling on people to stop going to Chili’s because it supports this radical, leftist, deviant agenda promoted by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force,” he remarks.Chick-Fil-A is actively working to deprive Americans of their civil rights. But since Chili's apparently made a donation to a civil rights group, it is they who must be boycotted. Got that? Yeah, this boycott will totally be as effective as the AFA's boycott of Ford and Disney. Heh.
RELATED: Porno Pete has been tweeting that he sent "undercover spies" to the NGLTF's annual Creating Change conference last week in Minneapolis. We presume his spies thoroughly enjoyed the Senator Larry Craig Memorial GOP Men's Room.
Gay boycott = radical homosexual intimidation.
Christian boycott = taking their business elsewhere.
Everybody got that?
"This [Chick-Fil-A boycott] is further proof of the insidious and dangerous hatred by homosexual activists of any Christian who dares try to live out their biblical values. The problem in society today is not hatred of homosexuals, but hatred by homosexuals of anyone who refuses to say 'amen' to their sexual behavior.
"Go out of your way to patronize this fine business. They have a right to support whomever they wish without being persecuted for their Christian faith and values. The bigotry is so virulent that it may be time to make Christians a protected class. Right now 'Christo-phobia' and 'Biblo-phobia' are at such a fever pitch among leftists and homosexual activists, and they need to be stopped before they get carried away in their zeal and do bodily harm to someone. Once again we must remind them our Constitution says, 'freedom of religion' and not 'freedom from religion.'" - E.W. Jackson, head of Staying True to America's National Destiny (STAND), which wants to replace our democracy with a Bible-based theocracy.
NOTE: Jackson is apparently unaware that as per the Civil Rights Act Of 1964, Christians are already a "protected class."
