Pro-LifeObama-Praised Gay Activist Says God is a “Sinful Homophobic Bigot”

[size="3"]Frank Kameny, a “pioneering” homosexual activist who was honored by President Obama and his administration, says the God of the Bible is a “sinful homophobic bigot” who needs to “repent of his sinful homophobia.”

Kameny made the assertions about the Judeo-Christian God in a letter to Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, October 13, 2009:

“Your God of Leviticus (and of the whole Bible) is clearly a sinful homophobic bigot. He should repent of his sinful homophobia. He should atone for that sin. And he should seek forgiveness for the pain and suffering which his sinful homophobia has needlessly inflicted upon gay people for the past 4000 years.” wrote Kameny to LaBarbera. “It is not homosexuality which is always wrong, immoral, and sinful. It is homophobia, including the homophobia of your god himself which is wrong, immoral, and sinful. And so your god is a sinner….”

An astronomer who was fired from his federal government job in 1957 due to his homosexuality, Kameny led the first public homosexual protest in America (over his firing), in 1965. Kameny, who gained notoriety with his aggressive, counter-cultural slogan “Gay is Good,” was a leader of the organized homosexual activist campaign to pressure the American Psychiatric Association to remove homosexuality from the list of mental disorders (which succeeded when the APA capitulated in 1973).

On June 17, 2009, Kameny received the official White House pen from President Obama in a White House signing ceremony enacting Obama’s executive order providing domestic partner benefits for certain federal employees.

Later, at a June 29 White House speech honoring “gay pride month,” President Obama praised Kameny, saying, “we are proud of you, Frank, and we are grateful to you for your leadership.”

Kameny was also honored by John Berry, Obama’s openly homosexual Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), in a special ceremony June 24, 2009 sponsored by the OPM “gay” employees organization. There, Kameny received the Theodore Roosevelt Award, the OPM’s highest honor, “For More Than a Half-Century of Leadership in the Struggle for Civil Rights.” Berry also issued a formal U.S. government apology to Kameny for his firing over 50 years ago.

Responding to Kameny’s letter asserting that God needs to repent, AFTAH’s LaBarbera said:

“Of course Frank Kameny’s outrageous statements about God are completely backwards: it is Frank who is the stubborn sinner who needs to repent. Thankfully, it is never too late for sinners to turn away from their sins and humbly accept God’s forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

“However, in one sense at least Kameny is forthright about how his homosexuality-celebrating ideology stands diametrically opposed to God’s plan for mankind, as revealed in the Bible. Unfortunately for Frank, he has no authority to judge sin and morality; that is the province of Almighty God alone.”[/size]

I think it's a bit absurd to condemn someone to an eternity of agony just for something as arbitrary as their sexual preferences.

And the Catholic Church agrees with you.

People's actions based on their preferences and refusal to accept the Truth (and thus refusal of God) is what condemns to hell, not simple preferences or desires.

Allow me to rephrase in a way that I hope is not infinitesimally semantically questionable so that you may be able to provide a legitimate response, then.

I think it's a bit absurd to condemn someone to an eternity of agony just for something as arbitrary as their sexual preferences [i]and choices regarding them[/i].

Two consenting adults, no one is hurt, it's just sex. Hardly seems like something I'd eternally condemn someone for.

What lifestyle choice?

There's so much I want to say, but none of it is charitable, and we are derailing the thread. Take your hostility to my comments page if you're that intent on persisting.

It doesn't matter what you think, though, if you're dealing with an all powerful being. It's best to play along.

And if the Good (not a typo) ordains it, then it's good. So calling God sinful or stupid is crappy philosophy. Stupid philosophy. Idiotic. Absurd. Contemptible. This guy and anyone who agrees with him shouldn't be permitted to permanently record their thoughts. The law should actually deprive them of writing instruments.

And they should be placed in burlap sacks and beaten with reeds.

Poo, I was hoping you would say the word again.

Look up how mortal sin sends to hell. You'll see that simply engaging in the act is not sufficient either. Once again, the Church agrees with your statement (although state it differently, more respectffully if you will).

Whaqt I find silly are people who criticize my Church without knowing my Church's position. If I didn't know better I'd say that's ignorant - but that's just me.

If you piss off the troll, is that merely a point, or is it the win?

Good question. But he deserves .2 of a point for pretending to be serious.
