Illinois Book is Here

The Fight for Marriage Equality in the Land of Lincoln written by Kate Sosin with Tracy Baim captures the beginning, inbetween and March on Springfield regarding the work of countless activism "putting on the pressure" for marriage equality in Illinois. Some of the pictures in such a historic book are credited to StonewallAGAIN's original visionarian, Mike Lackovich, Mike The Great Photo Guy. And even though he represented the Bisexual organization he founded, StonewallAGAIN's Bisexual liaison, Br. Michael C. Oboza, founder of Bisexual Queer Alliance Chicago on October 16, 2010 has his speech recorded at the March on Springfield for Marriage Equality along many others.

Even though, StonewallAGAIN and others helped make the historic day and book real. Nevertheless, like any marriage, we need to keep working at it to keep it... It is all a mere humble beginning.

Senator Homophobe: Kyle McCarter

Illinois Senator Kyle McCarter wastes taxpayers money by attempting to introduce a bill to repeal SB-10.
Google searches on this nut case also brings up that he is the creator of the "Bigot Protection Act" and an incident where he accuses a Democratic Senator of punching him in the face after a debate.
It is people like this that keep this country held back.  Focusing on non-issues like marriage equality instead of feeding children or housing homeless.
How about if we had this guy actually channel energy spent on his hateful agenda into a jobs bill.  Would make the world a better place for all.
It is homophobic idiots like this that history will pave over in the end.  The world is filled with PROS and CONS.  This guys is another one of those PROS at being a CON.
In the end, they are all consumed by the hate they spew.  A missed stitch on the fabric of humanity.

Oberweis and Dillard Align with Hate Groups

On October 23, 2013 Jim Oberweis and Kirk Dillard have chosen to join the forces of evil when they aligned themselves with the hate group known as the Illinois Family Instititute.
As they claim to be "pro-family" they are really nothing more than a spin off of the Ku Klux Klan.  Why would someone running for United States Senate seat that is currently held by very popular Dick Durbin or Dillard trying to run for Governor hook up with the Illinois Family Institute cult?
We believe, it is because it is easier to motivate people through fear, distortions and intimidation than to inspire people with positive, honest engagement.
It is cheaper to use hate over truth.
Just look at what IFI cult has been able to do year after year.  David E Smith makes quite a lot of money promoting hate as cult leader of the IFI.  It's cheap and easy.  Pretty much like the medicine men of the 1800's.
Watching the boring and painful YouTube video.  He addresses the fact that he said things that people don't approve of, but won't go into details.
Details like he hates gays.  Got Brady kicked out of GOP majority leader because he backed gay marriage.  Or the fact that he hates immigrants.  As in his flying over Soldier Field ad.  "Illegal aliens are coming to take your jobs" scare tactic.
Dillard?  No one wants to back him. Sun Times article talks about his fund raising ability....or at they put it, he doesn't have any.
Pretty sure that Oberweis is going to go down like a lead balloon when everyone else figures out that he is worthless, hateful bigot.
When you pick sides with a hate group like Illinois Family Institute, you get what you give.  If you are focused on negative bigoted, narrow-minded ways, there is not much room for you to expand your voting audience to.  Certainly, gays and latinos are not going to vote for Oberweis or Dillard, no matter how much ice cream you shove in their faces.

Bishop Paprocki: The Exorcist Wanna Be

So, Governor Quinn signs the marriage equality bill for Illinios on November 20,2013.  Extending rights and benefits that the federal government will grant in non-discriminatatory states with marriage equality.

Bishop Thomas Paprocki from the satanic church of ill repute in Springfield Illinois whips up the Klan and holds an exorcism.

I'm totally sure that this was something that the Vatican sanctioned.  NOT!


Does this guy not realize that he has taken his title of douche, and spread it to his congregation?  They all look like idiots.  A whole church full of morons to cast out "demons".  Oooohhhh, spooooky.

Listen, bub, Halloween was a couple weeks back.  Should have jumped on the that whole exorcism thing BEFORE HE SIGNED THE BILL!!!  Clearly this Bishop is a few Butterfingers short of intelligent life.  Maybe he drives the short bus back and forth to fill the pews with nimrods.

In all seriousness, the Bishop does have a point.  He will lose tons of credibility because he has been preaching the apocalypse to his flock on the gay marriage deal.  Now, no apocalypse.   Gay marriage bill is signed and water still comes out of my spigot when I demand the hot water to runneth!  Maybe the sun was supposed to black out or something MAGICAL like that.  Nope, didn't see the sun flicker.

It did get bitterly cold since the bill was signed.  Maybe that was the result of gay marriage.  But I am going to vote for probably not.  Gays have been getting married for 10 years now.  My trash gets picked up and the mail is delivered and idiots like Bishop Paprocki still breathe in the same air as us normal people (unfortunately).

We just don't understand where the big "earth shattering kaboom" is, your royal worthlessness!

Ahhhh yes!  Besides the fact that you lost face over the spooky "gays will swallow your soul" stories.  You are going to lose money from people supporting your losing cause of homophobia and hate.  Mainly because the old farts that support you are dying off.  How are you going to pay your bills????  THAT'S the real reason.

Lastly, MEMO TO BISHOP PAPROCKI:
How about you have a relationship with a real human being.  Celibacy is unhealthy and unnatural.  Where does it say that Jesus was celibate or straight?  ANSWER: NOWHERE!

Just like David E Smith from Illinois Family Institute, we recommend that you get a real job.  Come out of the closet would help you too.  You are not rocking that nightgown.  It make your homophobic ears look really big.  Like DUMBO big!

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?

  

The March On Springfield: What's Next?

Veni, Vidi, Vici translates to We Came, We Saw and We Kicked Ass!

Tracy Baim, co-founder of the Windy City Media Group came to all those distressed this summer with the idea of the March.  She stayed the course and the vision came to life bigger and better than anyone expected.  Even with the rain.

One of the performers said that it wasn't raining, "it was rainbowing".  It was this type of positive energy that could be felt and was contagious throughout the crowd that was estimated over 3000 strong.

The right politicians were showing up to this historical event.  The Governor, the SB 10 bill sponsors, Attorney General and even Dick Durbin.

Lurking in the shadows and trying to mix in where creepers from the Illinois Family Institute, such as villainous David Norck.  Recording the event to come up with strategy on how to counter act logic and reason with moronic religious bullshit and lies that IFI is notorious for. 

This March was a class production.  Tracy and the cosponsors covered the gamete of the LGBTQS community.  Including many of the credible religous community.  Who truly preach that Love is Love.  Just like Jesus would have done 2000 years.

March around the capitol was just as inspiring.  People in office buildings across from the Capitol held up Pride flags and waved in excitement.

Chants like "Harris and Madigan, Don't make us sad again" could be heard far down the block and probably in the Capitol proper.

Notably missing from the entire event, Mike Madigan.  Really?  His daughter, Lisa, has bigger balls than he does.  Hey Mike, do your fucking job and pass this bill.  Your lips are moving that you support this, now put some action behind it to make it happen.  Lip service equates to lies when you don't even try.  GLN did a banner unfurl and whistle blow in the rotunda outside Madigan's office.  Remained inside his office.  No response.  Typical behavior of "No Show Mike".

What is next?  Demonstrations and protests through out the state.  Mainly people like Madigan, obviously.  New target is Oberweis.  Who sided with the reprobate IFI on the wrong side of history.

Jim Oberweis announced that he would be running against Dick Durbin for his senate seat.  I don't know who to laugh harder at, Oberweis or Dillard running for Governor.

Oberweis has a horrid record on immigrants and LGBTQ communities.  He is a huge blimp of a man who should consider losing a couple pounds so that Macy's doesn't think that one of their floats drifted away.

Isn't funny that homophobic men such as Oberweis, Chris Christie and David E Smith suffer from the sin of gluttony?

People should be calling their reps and schedule an appointment to meet them.  Tell them to pass this bill now!  If your rep refuses, gather a group to demonstrate at their office.  It freaks the bajesus out of them.  Make sure you tell them that LGBTQ community will run our own candidate against them that uses the constitution and not the bible to make laws.

If in doubt on how to protest, call or email us.  We would be happy to assist. :)

TFP.org: Modern Day Nazi's or Homophobic Catholics?

Can you tell if this is a picture from Nazi Germany or Downtown Chicago Illinois?

Chicago is the scene here.  The resemblance between hate groups such as Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) and Nazi Party are splitting hairs.http://www.tfp.org/

These are rogue Catholics who are counter-revolutionaries.  Whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.  They believe that their version of Christianty should prevail through the crusade.Outright hatred of Islam is written in their website on their "XXI Crusade" tab.  http://www.tfp.org/who-we-are/xxi-century-crusade.html

Not very different from Hitler's only those of our blood can be countrymen.  Hence no Jews shall be citizens. http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/riseofhitler/25points.htm
Aliens (non-citizens) must be expelled from the Reich.  Again looking to the TFP and IFI (Illinois Family Institute) doctrines, their philosophies are very similar: " safeguard and advance public morality consistent with Biblical Christianity."  They feel that they are doing the right thing to impose THEIR Biblical morality on the public.  Basically for our own good.  That would be to rid the community of homosexuals.

Their vision is only to have families who breed via one man one woman concept.  Their is no other family construct.  Single mothers and dads are thrown into the oven with the gays, as far as they are concerned.
In the case of the IFI, they are familiar with "dehomosexualization".  Having "former lesbians" as speakers.  You can no more be "dehomosexualized" than you can be forced to be "homosexualized".

What consistently is amazing is that legislators believe this crap.  Falling for the nonsense like it is acceptable or intelligent.

The visualization from TFP is very Medieval   Bagpipes, banners and draped in red sashes pushing their agenda of hate.  Many of the young men looking like part of the Aryan youth.
They don't even try to hide it in their philosophy.  They outright believe that war between Islam and Christians is acceptable.  The Crusade is part of life.
"Medieval Crusaders shed their blood to free the Sepulcher of Our Lord Jesus Christ from the hands of the infidels and to establish a Christian kingdom in the Holy Land."
What is is going to take for Illinois House members to get on board with the fact that their job is to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States?  Providing equal protection under the law.  NOT THE BIBLE.
