killing Sochi - Russian Homocaust

StonewallAGAIN has started posting a photo activism series in protest of the gay propaganda laws that Russia enacted in the summer of 2013.

The photo expose can be viewed by the groups Facebook page.  It shows emotions associated with being forced into the closet.

The gay propaganda laws should have disqualified them from hosting the 2014 Olympic games based on Chapter 4 of the Olympic charter which states that no one is to be discriminated against.  The Olympic sponsors and IOC did nothing to change the location of these games.  These Olympic sponsors should be held accountable.  The true spirit of the games is apparently cash.

As the games close today, these lasting images will still be out there as a reminder that we need to help rescue Russian LGBT from genocidal violence they are subjected to.

Arizona: You're Screwed

Whether Governor Jan Brewer signs the religious anti-gay bill into law or not, Arizona has pointed a loaded gun at the LGBT community.
No need to travel to that state for business or leisure.  They already hung a sign that states "We Hate Gays".  They made this very clear.
The only thing going to fix this disaster is to vote out all these bigots and burn that bitch governor at the stake.  Like the witch she truly is.  The fact that she even has to look at this bill before she makes up her mind, says a lot about the type of environment the LGBT community is exposed to in Arizona.

Their hate towards the gays is going to be their undoing.  Their actions only prove further that LGBT relationships need protections against homophobic legislators like this group of haters.  Just like the venom spewed by Scalia, ultimately his own hateful words were turned against him.  This will be the same scenario.

What these numbskulls further fail to recognize is they are imposing discrimination on American citizens.  People who pay for their salary.  Being forced to pay for imposed discrimination should be brought to light.  These legislators should be sued for malpractice.

These sick legislators should now be worried about self inflicted discrimination.  If I were LGBT living in Arizona, I would take every opportunity to refuse services to these people and the sick governor.

If Jan signs this into law, we need to work on killing their Superbowl plans and work on moving the Grand Canyon to Colorado address.  We will also work to assist major companies in relocating out of that state or face sanctions.

Never Forget.  Never Forgive.

Utah Cuts Off Nose Over Gay Marriage

$2 million dollars
That is the money that the horrid state of Utah is going to dish out to stop people from getting federal benefits, promote homophobia and destroy any dignity they had left.
Seriously?  How many impoverished, hungry people could you feed and clothe for that $2 million dollars?

Who will be benefiting from the results of this fiscally irresponsible action?  Apparently, they had to find someone smart enough to represent this backwards state.  He is so stupid that he thinks defending an unconstitutional ban is "worthwhile". I would fire him right away for just being stupid.  Look around you!  The whole world is moving towards gay marriage.  Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes is going to go down in history like the captain of the Titanic!
If you see that Chris Christie had to throw in the towel, you would think that these homophobes would get a clue?
But I think we all know the real reason for this.  Once THIS ban is smashed, then all the other hateful bans on same sex marriage crumble....quickly.  Just like every other step in this battle, they try to draw it out.
Utah, pretend this is bandage and rip it off quickly!  The slower you pull off the bandage, the more it will hurt.
I thought this was a red state.  Don't they stand for fiscal responsibility?  I guess that a hateful bigoted homophobic agenda supersedes this.
Wake up and smell the fuchsia, it is over!

Duck Dynasty: Hate is NOT "Free Speech". It's just HATE!

A&E, really?
You had the opportunity to do the right thing.  I guess money is more important.
Do you realize that the only audience that you are going to be showing any of your programming to are the toothless, idiotic white cracker trash that follows Rush Limbaugh?
Let's do some math here, A&E.
Going to guess that these people who follow this show are going to be under educated, red state, and white males.  Going to guess that they are watching FOX news and dream about shopping sprees at Cabelas.
What do you think the buying power of one of these household's is?  Probably pretty low.
Who have you offended with reinstating Duck Dynasty?
LGBTQ, African Americans and everyone with a sense of non discrimination is being raised properly.
Now, apparently A&E is comfortable with sending more than just hate out over the airwaves....now they are broadcasting Phil Robertson's message of raping minor girls.  "Try her out" speech.
Everyone who is now changing their channel from the rape minor children, racist, homophobic, belittling women channel, please remember they are with History Channel, H2 and Military Channel.  When boycotting A&E, boycott those as well.

IFI : the cult

Today, things like CULTS are something that you see only in the movies or in remote locations like Waco, Texas.
You would never think that a cult could be in your own backyard.  Guess what, they could be right next door.  The people look just like everyone else.
Until you talk to them.  Then you can clearly see that something is off with these people.
Illinois Family Institute is a cult according to the definition of cult found in Google.
Let's dissect this a bit.

"a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object"
They quote the bible and say they are devout to Jesus, however they show no love for their fellow man.  In fact, their agenda is the eradication of homosexuality through conversion therapy.  This is clearly and proudly displayed on their website.  Another figure is David E Smith, the Executive Director of this hate group.  The groups that we have run across have a strange sense of servitude to this leader.  It is a weird incestuous vibe when you are around them.

"a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister" 
How much more sinister could you be than to want to wipe out another group of people for the sake of your God.  They are not worshiping God, more like Satan when you are consumed with so much hate for others.  October 23, 2013 at a Prayer Rally for Defense of Marriage, one of the people approached our protest group and spouted his love for us and we have been injured.  He also said something that really nails this group as a hate group.  His exact recorded words were that "Mohammed was a pedophile".  This isn't about religion or love or sanctity of marriage, it was a KKK rally as a passerby stated.  This sick logic plays into a couple other items that are classic CULT red flags.

"a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing"

Again, the strange interpretation of Jesus and the bible as the law of the land.  They think that American law is all based on the bible.  In fact they claim that God defines marriage.  Everyone else with a brain knows that marriage is defined by the state.  That the Constitution is the basis for all laws, not the bible.  Separation of Church and State is clear.  Our founding fathers fled to escape the Church the England.  Today, we are facing the modern day version in trying to be free from these cults and not have laws influenced by these cults imposed upon us all.

In an article HOW TO IDENTIFY A CULT in the Christian Courier, there are even more checklist items for identifying a cult.

#3 The leader “is preoccupied with [raising] money.” There is always a need for increasing finances. New projects are ever in the planning. Members are strongly encouraged to greatly sacrifice for the leader’s current pet enterprise. There is little pressure let-up; members of the group must be kept revved up on a continual basis.

If you look at the IFI website, it is all about the money.  There is always a fund raiser on their website with yet another hateful speaker.  David E Smith doesn't even deny the fact that he is living off the money that he generates from seeding hate in small children.  At one of their recent fundraisers which was a walk-a-thon of hate, David was confronted by us with a sign showing his tax return and $85k he took as payment from the IFI coiffures.  David said that he could go work in the private sector, but did this full time.  When he was confronted to walk away from the cash in order for people to believe that he wasn't doing it just for the money, he just walked away.

#4 Polarized mentality, also known as us versus them.  

This is really evident.  They have all kinds of kooks in this group claiming some religious affiliations to skate out of paying taxes.  With IFI, the THEM is the gays, the Muslims and the democrats.  Plain and simple.  The March on Springfield for Marriage Equality drew all the right political people: the Governor, many of the legislator from both sides of the isle, the state attorney general.  IFI drew the politicians that no one pays attention to or are interested in.   Like Oberweis and Dillard.  Two delusionalists with big dreams and no way to make them come true.  Holding on to the IFI are only going to suck them into oblivion.  In a manner similar to Augustus Gloop in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Slllllllurp!

#5 Leader clearly anti-authoritarian disposition.  That has David E Smith written all over it.  He is one of these big government conspiry theory guys.  Obama is a muslim nonsense.  The bible is the governing document, not the constitution.  Interpretted and twisted into a mangled ball of sick Nazi nonsensical crap that only makes sense to the idiot brainwashed tribe that follows him.

 In short, there is not a single thing that the Illinois Family Institute does that is not a cult related activity.  Any politician that aligns themselves with this group are going to be swirling in the political toilet when marriage equality is passed in Illinois.  Tick tock, the time is upon us for marriage equality in Illinois.  What is David E Smith going to do for a living when the Gay Marriage Monster has taken over?  Get a real job.  Preaching the real word of God or follow the Satanic path he is already on and killing his flock Jim Jones style in our Midwestern state.  To be honest, who cares what happens to these bigoted people?

McDonald's and Coca Cola: SPONSORS OF VIOLENCE ON LGBT

The next time you are buying that Big Mac with a large Diet Coke, ask yourself if it's worth it?  When LGBT are being brutally assaulted without punishment for just being themselves, Americans are funneling their money to fuel this behavior.  The YouTube video link below is a sampling of what McDonald's apparently feels is part of "diversity" in their statement with regards to Sochi Winter Games.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59WCKaKqjKY
As a gay man that was tortured all through my adolescent years,  this brings back memories I want to forget. Daily ass kickings from homophobes.
Many of the LGBT community have experienced this type of attack.  This is NOT diversity, this is NOT tolerance.  What this is, UNACCEPTABLE HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE!
McDonald's, Samsung, Coca Cola, NBC, Dow: message from the LGBT community is simple FUCK YOU if you think we are going to continue to buy your products.  FUCK YOU if you think we would buy ANYTHING associated with these Olympic Games in Sochi.  FUCK YOU if you think we would watch these HOMOPHOBIC DONT ASK DONT TELL Games.  FUCK YOU if you think that we would ever return to you as a customer.
Here is your golden opportunity to make things right.  MOVE THE GAMES.  This is NOT going to go away.  WE WILL NOT FORGET THIS!!!!
There is a Burger King down the street.  Mountain Dew and Pepsi right next to that Coke Zero.  I would watch FOX NEWS over anything on NBC, on principle alone.
What is in this and many more videos of our community publicly genocide is OUTRAGEOUS!
Sochi Olympic Sponsors, wake the fuck up or lose our business!!!!  AND FUCK YOU!!!

McDonald's Sochi Sponsor: Golden Arches or Golden Showers?

How big does the rock have to be to hit McDonald's in the proverbial head to realize, "Bad is BAD and good is GOOD"

One would think that they have mastered the art of marketing.  With slogans like "I'm Lovin It" swirling in the toilet, no slogan or jingle is going to pull them out of this one way luge to the septic tank.

The only thing that they are going to do is to pressure the International Olympic Committee to find another venue.

Look, we all realize that Russia breached the contract that qualified them for hosting the games when they enacted the 'gay propaganda' laws.  Laws with criminalize publicly and openly being LGBT.  Kissing in public or holding hands in a restaurant for same sex couples can land you in jail with a heavy fine.  You can be gay, you just need to be in the closet.  Not like that doesn't generate its own issues.

So this state sponsored genocide continues to be enforced on anyone attending the winter games in Sochi.  McDonald's, grab a bigger rock because THERE IS GOING TO BE PUBLIC OPPOSITION TO THIS AT THE GAMES.  Six months out from the games and we have Russian athletes making profound gestures.

Here is where McDonald's walking away from these games and moving them or even running off with the other sponsors to host their own games, will make a financial killing.....forever.  McDonald's could be the leader of the pack on behalf of humanity to say and genuinely mean that they will not sponsor this homophobia.  Can you imagine the loyalty from the LGBT community?  The eternal goodwill that would be accomplished by such a beloved and influential American icon would be unfathomable.  They would definitely look like heros.

The contrary will definitely lose the respect and business of the LGBT community.  We will be singing "Have It Your Way" when ordering flame broiled burgers.  People will opt for granola bars over chicken nuggets while traveling until they can find a respectable vendor.  Many have started cutting McDonald's and Coca-Cola out and replacing with KFC and Pepsi.

So when the stuff hits the fan in Russia....which it will, get ready to run.  We will be on your door step with hundreds of pride flags and banners, wanting our pound of flesh.  Everyday that these games are continuing to be sponsored in Russia, is another missed opportunity to be the hero in all this.

Depeche Mode's People are People says it best.  'I can't understand, what makes a man.  Hates another man.  Help me understand.'

Olympic Sponsors of the Second Holocaust

Corporations are in damage control mode right now.  Many of these sponsors have, in the past had a great or excellent reputation for supporting LGBT and equality.  Now with millions about to be slung into a promotional nightmare, these companies are being pressured to do the right thing.

The holocaust began with rounding up the Jews, the homosexuals, the political dissidents and jailing them because they were being who they are.  Others who escaped, where pretending to be what they were not in order to just survive.

Sound hauntingly familiar?  LGBT people are being told that they cannot be whom they are.  They need to hide it.  Any public display of being gay or affectionate to the same sex, results in being jailed.

How much longer do we wait until the "ethnic cleansing" begins?  What method will they use to dispose of all this carnage?

Genocide has already begun.  The total eradication of a race of people because they are who the are.  Through legislation, the LGBT community no longer exists in Russia.  This is legislative induced GENOCIDE.

These sponsors have an obligation to HUMANITY to pressure the International Olympic Committee to do the right thing.  We cannot let these games move forward in Sochi.  They must find a new location that will allow everyone attending the games to be who they are.  If Russia chooses not to participate, that is their loss.  If they do compete, then they will see that people are people.  Discrimination works both ways.  When you seek to empower yourself through the oppression of a minority, eventually humanity will prevail.

The vendors that support these games should worry greatly about the loyal customers they have now.  They will buy other products.  Everyone of these supporter of homophobic games has a comparable competition that is about to get a lot more wealthier if these games proceed in Russia.

Word to the wise.  It is always better to walk away from a bad situation and lose money invested, than to lose your entire loyal customer base to save what you invested.  You will more likely NEVER regain the trust of those you have deserted.

Try as you might by using key words like "diversity".  We are not buying it at this point.  Tolerance is NOT diversity!!!  ACTIONS speak louder than the words you are using.

MOVE THE GAMES NOW!

McDonald's: Proud Sponsor Of Don't Ask, Don't Tell Winter Olympic Games.

Here is the official press release from StonewallAGAIN about the impending protest:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 15, 2013

For Information:  Mike Lackovich StonewallAGAIN, 312-600-8429, info@StonewallAGAIN.com

LGBT community protests McDonald’s sponsoring the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” Winter Olympics in Russia.

LGBT to McDonald’s: We’re Not Lovin’ It!

Oakbrook, IL – Members of the Chicagoland LGBT community will be descending on McDonald’s World Headquarters, 2111 McDonald’s Drive, Oak Brook, at 11 AM, Saturday, August 17 to protest the Corporation's continued sponsorship of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia despite the country's recently instituted homophobic “gay propaganda” laws.  The laws have sparked widespread, increased violence against LGBT persons in the country, as demonstrated by YouTube videos [2] [3] proudly circulated by brutal anti-gay activists there. 

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has stated that no signs of LGBT presence or protest will be tolerated in its venues and has failed to admonish Russia against violence and threats of violence on LGBT Olympians and spectators.  Russian authorities have boldly stated that the repressive new law would be enforced on all who attend the games.

StonewallAGAIN, an LGBT activist group in Chicago that arose out of the May failure of Illinois's marriage equality bill, is the sponsor of Saturday's protest at McDonald's world headquarters  "McDonald’s has a responsibility to disavow sponsorship if local authorities refuse to provide safety to all who participate in the games that they are promoting," said Mike Lackovich, founder of StonewallAGAIN.  "These homophobic laws enacted are similar to those passed at the start of the holocaust in Nazi Germany.  McDonald’s needs to work with the IOC to find a safe venue for all participants to compete without fear of abuse, violence or deportation for being who they are.”

In response to questions concerning the forthcoming protest, the Chicago Phoenix reported Wednesday the following statement from Suzanne Valliere, senior manager of McDonald’s Global External Communications:

“There is no room for discrimination under the Golden Arches.  McDonald’s welcomes, respects and values the diversity, culture and unique differences of our 69 million customers and nearly two million employees around the world every day.  McDonald’s supports the spirit of the Olympic Games and its ability to unite the world in a positive and inspirational way.  We’ve been a proud sponsor of the Games for 37 years.  Regarding the recent Russian legislation, we support the International Olympic Committee’s belief that sport is a human right and the Olympic Games should be open to all, free of discrimination, and that applies to spectator, officials, media and athletes.” 

"Valliere’s press release is full of fluffy words that are contrary to what is actually occurring," said Lackovich.  "The Russian government and the IOC are imposing a state of 'Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,' with tolerance for violence and threats of violence thrown in for good measure.  As experience in the U.S. has shown, the policy of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is discriminatory in and of itself, and in direct contradiction to the claimed 'spirit of the games.'" 

“As for the ‘diversity’ Valliere speaks to,” Lackovich said, “nearly all gay people have to go through a difficult 'coming out' phase in their lives.  To ask people to go back into the closet so they can compete in something they have aggressively trained for regardless of sexual orientation is utterly absurd.  Clearly, Valliere has no idea how painfully difficult this phase of LGBT life is.  Most in the LGBT community would find this demand offensive and unacceptable.”

The protest will begin at 11AM and have speakers including StonewallAGAIN Founder, Bisexual Queer Alliance Chicago Founder Mike Oboza and Gay Liberation Network’s Co-Founder Andy Thayer.  More information about the protest is posted on the group’s website, StonewallAGAIN.com or their Facebook page.

Cardinal Homophobe

Father's Day 2013, Cardinal Francis George lead mass in honor of AGLO 25th anniversary.  Why his homophobic bigotness would pretend to treat a gay Catholic congregation equally as a heterosexual crowd is befuddling.

Cardinal George has been vehemently attacking the gay population forever.  Latest has been his influencing political leaders to prevent passage of SB10.  The bill would provide marriage equality to all Illinoisans regardless of sexual orientation.

Joe Murray founder of Rainbow Sash stood and turned his back on the Cardinal during his service.  Joe was refused communion by the Cardinal for his stand.  A choir member went for communion a second time to get the host for Joe.  Her behavior was more like Christ than the Cardinal's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_sex_abuse_cases

"Chicago, which has not escaped the scandal, escapes Berry's focus…almost. He notes that three years after the Catholic Church adopted a youth protection charter in 2002, "Cardinal Francis George…put an accused pedophile back in ministry over warnings from his advisory board. The priest reoffended, went to jail, the archdiocese paid heavily to the victims —and Cardinal George was elected president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops." " ~Chicago Tribune http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/books/ct-books-0817-review-render,0,1427214.story

Cardinal Francis George takes the word hypocrite to new levels.

The real reason that Cardinal George wants to keep spinning the same sex marriage issue is a smoke screen. If you are focused on creating controversy on gay marriage, then people are not going to look at the pedophilia problem.  Giving him time to put a bandage on this gaping wound.  After all, it is very realistically the reason that the previous pope has to go into retirement.  Either for his poor management of the problem or his possible personal behaviors.

Why do these gay Catholics think that they are actually being treated as equals.  Several conversations, remarks and inside reports have the same hateful denial.  Some believe that their constant positive pressure will somehow result in a better understanding.  Is this hope or just a self deluded desire?  That has yet to be seen.

Final issue with this homophobic Cardinal from hell is his participation in influencing the legislative process.  This should most definitely be investigated with regards to the tax exempt status of the church and most certainly, Cardinal Francis George personally.
