Obama-Praised Gay Activist Says God is a “Sinful Homophobic Bigot”
LifeSite ^ | January 11, 2010

WASHINGTON, January 11, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - 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.”

Clearly the scriptures are accurate. This man has been given over to a depraved mind. How sad.

“God is dead” Nietsche, 1882
“Nietsche is dead” God, 1900

They never should have declassified homosexuality as a mental disorder. It clearly is.

Frank Kameny will someday find out that it doesn’t work that way and it most likely will be him for all eternity who will wish he had repented for his sinful ways. We are warned about mocking G-d....

Didn’t the APA recently shift back towards that direction?

These people sit up at night thinking of the most outrageous things to say, hoping someone will think they are smart for saying it.

Well, at least this man recognizes that God is against homosexuality, so in that sense he is less hypocritical than the liberal church denominations that are around today.

The word “demented” comes to mind. But of course many homosexuals do hate God for having cursed them with their affliction.

“If people get fed up and just elect another political party that is just as bad as the previous political party, it does nothing to stem the global crisis that’s going to come upon us. What we need is a conversion of heart.”

The simple crux of the matter statement from that article.

He should repent of his sinful homophobia.

Which begs the questions, to whom does the author think God should repent?

“...Sodom and Gomorrah a city that God destroyed for their unrepentant...”

.
God probably regrets for what He did to those quaint little towns of Sodom and Gomorrah after noticing what is happening now in San Franfreekshow.

Oh, well, He can always correct Himself.

But then again, maybe memory is not so fuzzy. However by the time this idiot figures that out he is going to be relying on whatever tender mercies God sees fit to extend due to stupidity and ignorance.

They declassified it as such because psychoanalysis wouldn't cure it. But mental health people still make a ton of money by treating gays for all sorts of neuroses.

“What you have here, is a man who cannot escape his conscience, and that’s a wonderful thing. If he were happy and content in his homosexuality he wouldn’t give a rip about what anyone else thought.”

I think you are absolutely correct. Every out-and-out homosexual I’ve ever met (all professionally) seem determined to make all straight people as miserable as they are themselves. I believe they are miserable because deep down in their souls, they know that their sexual depravity is wrong, and they cannot rationalize it. It makes them miserable, which they then try to project on everyone around them so that if they can’t be happy like everyone else, making everyone else miserable is consolation for not being happy.

So why do they call it “gay?”

I hope the God who punished Sodom and Gomorrah pays this creep a visit.

Pretty sharp deduction on your part.
