I agree with Ben in Oakland – Randy, you need to seriously understand the issues before writing on Blogs. ‘Special rights and priviledges’? Infringing on regious rights? Come on man, get a grip! And by the way, ’special classes/groups’ are designated as such when they represent a minority subset of the population, subsets that have been discriminated against contrary to the interpretation of the law (usually by the Supreme Court). I think you know not of what you speak!

Good point John, but wives can be complicit in such activity, no matter how extreme.

There are none so blind…

Gee. Why would i possibly be offended because someone believes that a 2000 year old prejudice that makes my life difficult and unpleasant, that resorts to telling lies constantly, that attempts to demonize me and mine for political, social, and godly brownie points, that ignores the constant problems of heterosexuals and tries to lay the blame on me, that teks some very obscure passages that may or may not be about hwat we know of as homosexuality and turns them into the central point of the existence of religious conservatives….

…and on and on and on…

why would I be offended by that?

Honey– you are so incredibly clueless. Or perhaps willfully ignorant. Or intentionally naive. Or deluded. Or unable to empathize with people who are so much like yourself. Or…

…or really just so filled with self hatred that you can’t even beign to think. Or maybe you just earned a really nice living punishing in others what you hate in yourself.

Only you would know.

Randy says that he doesn’t want to offend, then he repeats the oft told lie that Hate Crimes and Anti-discrimination Laws threaten religious liberty. While Dave Roberts likes to take people at their word, I would say Randy’s words so undermine his position, that they render his assurance that he isn’t trying to offend preposterous. His post was pure passive aggression, something he is very “consistent” about.

He seems to be a predator on several levels. I am guessing that the wife is still with him, or the divorce would have been posted. It seems strange that he would be married, living with his wife (and ? child) and bringing young men into the house to live with him. All of this with a history of public sexual activities that have gotten him into legal trouble repeatedly.

I should be rejoicing that he’s closed his “ministry”. But instead I’m fearful that he’ll just start something else with a lower profile.

Keep up the great job monitoring him.

PFOX is just like every other attempt by the religious reicht to usurp and bootstrap on groups and events to bring awareness about us.

So with PFLAG came PFOX, and with the Day of Silence comes the so-called “Day of Truth”. I can’t wait to see the Christian Day of Remembrance to memorialize people who were murdered because of their faith to usurp the Transgender Day of Remembrance!

Randy — Too bad you don’t like the goal of getting sexual orientation and gender identity protected under non-discrimination laws.

I wonder what the reaction would be if it were *heterosexuals* being discriminated against, and heterosexual kids attempting and completing suicide in horrific numbers, and heterosexuals being victims of hate crimes at the hands of gays land lesbians doing it to keep “breeders” in their place.

As to supposed “threats” to religious liberty, there’s *nothing* in any law which will require churches to hire TLBGs. Other than that, you argument on that aspect is about as relevant as giving a pair of pants to someone without legs.

In fact, it’s actually the other way ’round! The religious reicht is violating the religious liberty of the Christian sects who *do* want to perform legal marriages for lesbian and gay couples, just to satisfy their own petty prejudices and bigotry.

I’m a big ol’ ‘mo, and I’ve never been arrested for anything like that, let alone arrested three times in 12 years. As a fromer probation officer, I can tell you that the number that actually go to trial is far less than the number of arrests, and that is mountainously less than the number of cirminal activities.

The man is a complete con. He would be a stupid, comoplete con if he changed his name in such an obvious fashion. But I suspect he will reappear.
