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.”

I guess this clown might enjoy a 1000 degree flaming broom stick stick in his “you know what” for maybe 100 million years?
“Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess...”
That story of Sodom and Lot has always bothered me. It bothers me because Lot told the perverts to take his two virgin daughters and “do whatever you want with them” as long as they leave the angel guests alone. I guess Lot didn’t have a 12-gauge at the time. I’m just saying.
“San Franfreekshow”
PRICELESS!
The spawning grounds of Nancy (the woman of many facial reconstructions) and Diane Frankenfeinstein.
This joker would rather send himself to hell, than leave some other guys butt alone ;-)
No, he has been given over to a reprobate mind. See Romans 1.
Perhaps the Creator is more guilty of adding to global warming and excessive carbon emissions upon destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. He was in attendance at the Copenhagen meeting however atoning for the extra heat and very large carbon footprint.
They are suffering what Paul calls, in Romans,” the “wrath of God.” Human beings are distinguished from all other animals by our possession of consciousness. But it seems to serve no evolutionary purpose. If we were zombies, or robots like Data, we would be as well off. It is here, however, where we talk to God. Or rather where we seek a ground for our being.
Liberals get annoyed when I call homosexuality an “affliction” or “disorder.” Sends them up the wall.
But that’s what it is. And I hope they get cured! Both for their own sake (avoiding hell) and our sakes (sick of their disgusting agenda and lifestyle).
He only says it because it isn’t allah or his butt buddy mohammed.
Solution: Ignore him. If he gets in your face, punch him out.
Sure does.
Very well said.
Seriously. I am nervous just sitting here at my own computer. Oh Dear Lord, have mercy on us.
Americans who VOTED FOR OBAMA are dragging us to hell!
This is what you call “unclear on the concept”.
