Alan Keyes Targeted by GLAAD (Homosex Activists): Please Call or Write in Support of His Show
Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation ^ | 4-30-2002 | alert

The Homosexual Problem

 

In case you missed it, the April 23rd edition of 'Alan Keyes is Making Sense' which aired last Tuesday on MSNBC featured a heated debate among host Alan Keyes, Bill Donohue of the Catholic League, and two guests representing both 'Dignity USA', and 'Catholics Speak Out'-advocacy groups who openly promote the legitimization of homosexual activity within the Catholic Church (the recently accused Fr. Shanley served as Chaplain to one of the organizations)

 

Quoting from the statement delivered by the Pope which read, "The abuse of the young is a grave symptom of a crisis affecting not only the church, but society as a whole.  It is a deep-seated crisis of sexual morality..." Keyes established the fact that many of the abuse cases represent clear violations of Church teaching on sexual morality and homosexual activity.  Moreover, Keyes asked whether attempts by groups such as 'Dignity USA' and 'Catholics Speak Out' to legitimize homosexual activity within the Church are indeed part of the problem.

 

As expected, homosexual advocacy groups such as GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) were outraged!  Just last week they issued an ALERT to their loyal members urging them to "express your displeasure with the unfair behavior and defamatory anti-gay attacks of Alan Keyes," providing contact information for the producers of the show.

 

This despite the fact that report after report issued over the last several weeks have made it abundantly clear--the overwhelming majority of accused priests were homosexual priests, and many of their victims were teenage boys.  Keyes was only stating what has become plainly obvious to many.  The solution to the victimization of teenage boys by homosexual priests is NOT to promote more homosexual activity, but to STOP it!

 

In recent weeks it has also been reported that one of the accused priests participated in meetings of NAMBLA (North American Man-Boy Love Association), a group that openly promotes sexual relations between adult males and young boys.  The accusations against Paul Shanley confirm Keyes' judgment that homosexual advocacy groups fuel sexual abuse. 

 

And it is precisely this conviction which has led the Thomas More Law Center to represent parents of a child sexually abused and murdered by a NAMBLA member. 

 

The goal of our lawsuit is to bring down NAMBLA by exposing it for what it is-an organized effort to hide criminal activity between predatory men and adolescent males. 

 

And guess who is opposing us?  The ACLU!  They believe that NAMBLA has a constitutional right to advocate, encourage, and assist men in having sex with underage boys, and they refuse to acknowledge NAMBLA's role in facilitating predatory activity!

 

Father Richard Welch, CSSR, JCD, President of Human Life International, the world's largest pro-life, pro-family apostolate noted, "The lawsuit against NAMBLA sees beyond the rhetoric and rationalizations of a society that is too cowardly to confront its own demons. Finally, we are asserting legally what we have always known in our hearts-that advocacy groups like NAMBLA serve to reaffirm and encourage deviancy, violence, and the exploitation of children."

 

Groups like NAMBLA and those that encourage homosexual activity MUST be stopped!  Their influence on children, particularly in public schools, and in the Catholic Church, must end.  Keyes' show last Tuesday is proof that these groups do not see themselves as part of the problem, but instead are seeking to take advantage of the current crisis in the Church to promote their own perverse agenda.

 

It is time to take action.

 

Show your support for Thomas More Law Center board member Alan Keyes and the courage of MSNBC in calling attention to the homosexual factor in the current Church crisis.

As a guest on the program, Donahue's behavior is consistent with his previous media appearances. However, Keyes' unfairness, given his position as host, is inexcusable. Keyes clearly was unable to put aside his own beliefs and biases to allow for a respectful discussion of the issues.

Now how much should we bet that GLAAD or whatever this website is from does not bleat this about liberal commentators' shows?

The difference in statements by President Bush ("Anyone who harbors a terrorist is a terrorist" vs. "What Israel is doing now is not helping the peace process") is quite striking, however.

How can one disagree with the point Keyes is making here - that the principles which defined our policy towards terrorism immediately post-9/11 appear to have changed, particularly regarding other victims of terrorism? Does Israel not have every right that we claim to unleash hell upon any group which will dare practice terrorism against her civilians as well as upon any group or government which funds and/or harbors these same terrorists? If not, then why not?

I saw that show, and I was wishing that most of the Cardinals had the grasp of and committment to Catholic teaching that Keyes has. I was cheering him on when he made his comments to the women pointing out their errors-Cervone's statement "I believe God finds homosexual relationships whole and holy" was the corker, and Alan rightly said it may be an opinion, but it's not what the Catholic Church says..I think that he said that, "you're part of the problem thing" after that.

More and more people are watching his show. I would hate if it was moved or taken off the air..I would much rather watch Alan Keyes than the choices on the other two cable news stations during that time slot.

LL's likely an American citizen, so that qualifies him, though less his critique of Keyes' reservations of relativism,
where given over instead to moral dereliction, one cannot, nor will not consider anything at its fundamental level.

They appear to want all Americans to bend over and accept the homosexualization of American society, including the Catholic Church. When it becomes "defamation" to point out that the overwhelming majority of the current sex abuse allegations involve homosexuals, you know you are dealing with people in denial.

Mega Dittos! If I'd had to choose between Keyes and Bush it would have been VERY difficult. This man has guts and not a whole lot of 'back-up' in him. Maybe it's not his time yet, but I hope it's coming soon.

There is no legal requirement that justices of the Supreme Court be lawyers.

From GLAD:

"The New York Times," most notably, has done an exceptional job of presenting an informed analysis of and discourse on the full complexity of the controversy.

That's because 3/4 of the editorial board of the NY Times is Lesbian or Homosexual! No surprise here...

We don't take a vote on that! Because you can't vote on God's law. He makes it; we don't.

Game, set, match.

EXACTLY!!

From the start, Keyes -- long known as one of the extreme fringe members of the far right -- and guest William Donohue of the Catholic League not only attacked and gratuitously insulted the other guests on the show (Mary Louise Cervone of Dignity/USA, the nation's largest LGBT Catholic membership organization, and Sister Maureen Fiedler of Catholics Speak Out), but also insulted gay Catholics in general -- with Keyes lecturing the guests who disagreed with him that their opinions on the matter were irrelevant because they did not conform to his religious beliefs.

Instead of addressing the issue Keyes raised on his show that night, that the two female guests' opinions were inconsistent with the Catholic Church's position, GLAAD resorts to name-calling and to twisting Keyes' statement. It's telling that they would consider being in harmony with the Catholic Church's mainstream Christian teachings against sexual licentiousness as "extreme fringe."
