Kinda concerned for Russell Crowe myself these days. Check out the gut on him in recent videos.

the crime was in him being gay.

It's a crime in God's eyes. It's a deadly sin, just like adultery.

We live in a world that is pro-evil and anti-Christ.

Most homosexuals were sexually molested as children.

They seek to normalize their behavior to achieve easier access to MOLEST YOUR CHILDREN!

>http://www.patheos.com/blogs/warrenthrockmorton/2009/06/05/a-major-study-of-child-abuse-and-homosexuality-revisited/<

On page 37, the other relevant result relates to men.

The 13th research question addressed, of homosexual men who have been molested, what percentage were molested before self-identification as homosexual men, and what percentage were molested after self-identification as homosexual? Of homosexual men who were molested, 68% were molested before self-identification as homosexual, and 32% were molested after self-identification as homosexual.

Homosexuals raping or killing folks seldom gets the air time that people even merely dissing homosexuals sometimes seems to get.

Maybe the best approach would have been to forget the therapy but just tell the kid that, while they still love him, his lifestyle is wrong and destructive of society, and they will not make it easy for him to spread his pervision to younger family members.

Harry Potter is not evil. It’s boring tripe.

What theories do queers have and which have they proven false (rejecting their own premise)?

They lived in Arkansas, in Bible belt southern US, where it was taught that yoga is wrong and Harry Potter is evil. Conley, both terrified of (and conflicted by) his sexuality, felt at the time there was only one solution - to go through with the controversial practice.

yeah, so evil they had a Harry Potter convention.

There’s An Epic Harry Potter Convention Coming To Arkansas You Don’t Want To Miss
The wizarding world of Harry Potter is arriving in Arkansas this month. The first annual DiaCON Alley of the Ozarks will be happening at the Fayetteville Town Center on March 17th, 2018. Wands at the ready as we “Slytherin” to take a peek.

Stereotype much?

Guess this allows me to say the author is a lime-sucking haridan who cannot get a man to even look her way, and has never been to the American South but read an article once about Huckleberry Finn. That's makes her the expert on all things Southern in her circle of British Eurotrash.

How'd I do?(at stereotyping)

Odd. Here in Georgia, we teach that Harry Potter is wrong, and yoga is evil.
