On November 14, Jennifer Roback Morse of the so-called National Organization for Marriage’s Ruth Institute — (an anti-gay hate speech propaganda factory) — took malicious aim at a Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services publicity campaign to promote awareness among gay people that they may foster and/or adopt children in need of homes, RaiseAChild.us.
Morse’s screed is chocablock with bullying non-acceptance of gay human beings. With no sense of shame or decency, Morse attempts to depict gay adoptive parents as enemies of all African Americans. Having noticed that the two children shown in the campaign’s promotional banners are black, Morse wrote: “I wonder what the African-American community thinks about recruiting gay men to become foster parents for the children of their community who have been taken from their parents. Do the African-American pastors have any thoughts and opinions about this? I imagine they do. But I will let them speak for themselves.”
To me, Morse’s expression of the idea that gay people are out to get other people’s children was suggestive of the notorious blood libel, whereby Jews were said to kidnap Christians’ children to use their blood to make matzo.
Pastor Michael Bledsoe of Riverside Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. – an adjunct professor at the Howard University School of Divinity — however, told me in an e-mail that Jennifer Roback Morse’s…
“article is offensive on many levels. That said, I’m not sure the blood libel analogy is appropriate. I think it sufficient for you to point out the ludicrous nature of her lie that children are being taken from their parents to give to gay couples. The more accurate reference she is likely trying to pull from is slavery where children were separated from families. But of course, this is a smear aimed at shamelessly exploiting what was a horrific time in this nation when indeed slave families were torn asunder. Adoption is the voluntary giving up of a child because the mother or parents do not want the child or cannot take care of it. In my own congregation, I have watched with delight as a lesbian couple adopted a child, saved him from a life of meager resources and are nurturing him with love and devotion. He is a joy to behold. Each Sunday, he interacts with me and each time I see him, I embrace his parents, thanking God for their love of this child. I dedicated him in our church with his adoptive parents as I would do for any other couple. The Roback piece is ignorant, exploitive and hateful. “

When I see gratuitous demonization of gays I generally wonder
to myself if the demonizer might be a gay gene carrier.
This is because history’s greatest masters of transference were
process self-produced hypocritical gay demonizers.
Hitler was famously feminine. Per Oliver Stone’s movie, JFK’s
murderers were substantially gay fascists. J. Edgar Hoover was
documented in at least one authoritative book to have had a
gay lover in a swanky So. Calif. seaside community.
Virtually all murderers of gays have proven being
conflicted gays. Most have run to scapegoater headquarters.
Prior to demonizing Jews and then the integration of nations
and the demonizing of perfectly legitimate, legal immigrants,
the demonization of gays afforded despots in the habit of
engaging in tyranny and rumbling with their neighbors the
opportunity to associate any political foe with the demonized.
For the religious right in the U.S. today, lest you tow an
anti-social political line, including slandering Adam Smith,
who advocated safety nets precisely because corporations
were ill-equipped for doing so, you can end up facing this:
recall Coulter / Gore, Edwards

That includes applying all purpose of scapegoating, be it for profit through
transference of fear mastered, scapegoating to pacify, or arrogance, which is
ego defense. All derive from the same hook.
How many would-be Type A’s are actually just pushy paranoids?
Are humans really that comparable to dogs?
I’m harsh, here, because the demonization of gays is for making straights afraid
of being wrongly ferreted out as gay, and that in fact is the fear of fascism.
Besides producing Hitler, JFK’s assassins and Hoover, it produced bullying on
school lots across the country, school shootings, judging for the purpose of
control and scapegoating, sometimes for sheer convenience, from among cops to within
families.
Worse, it’s a holocaust for gays. Yet gays after so many generations occur
utterly normally, affording numerical genetic advantage “”for the group.”"
Except, we now have a simultaneous, but not simply observational, proof
that in the West, apart from the normal simultaneous “”developmental”" and
genetic incidence, there’s been an extra generating hook
in producing a privileged hypocritical fascism-for-profit class of gays.
It now makes sense that they alone may have been referenced is
someone’s lesson for us.
It causes clues from traditional morality to resonate rather than look
profoundly insulting, offensive and threatening. That’s because, really,
the Eastern moral traditions are, not so coincidentally, the ***SAME***
but for that hook.
So a science defines a morality. A morality defines a science. It has
taken all human history counting from an approximate starting point, and the
whole of Earth to accomplish it.
Using techniques such as the web bot, it’s possible it may show how information
lives. It may simultaneously inform us how to travel to the stars.
When scapegoating ends, history will definitionally turn, and we may resume this process:

transformation in science, morality and a new understanding of history stemming from realizing
that all humans are infinitely variable, as is life everywhere across the universe, and
that is a source of growth, literally, in a fractal sense.
No human is responsible. Remarkably crafted. By this man.

The “gay gene”? Can you cite a peer reviewed scientific source for this supposed “gay gene”? I like what you have to say about many anti gay bigots being self loathing closet cases but at the same time your comment is full of ridiculous comparisons, over the top hyperbole and pop “psychology” of the worst kind. It’s also pretty clear that you have only a passing acquaintance with science. I give you full marks for sincerity but you need to educate yourself. You’re spouting the same kind of stereotypical gibbeish that NOM does.
Jennifer Morse prefers to be called Doctor Morse, but don’t be fooled, this Ph.D is in economics not in any field of medicine or psychiatry. Her trade by profession is economics teacher. I’ve been threatened of being banned from posting on the Ruth blogs because I’ve repeatedly stated that she is not credentialed to act as an expert witness at trial as an expert on marriage.
If you want to witness, firsthand, the rants and craziness of this woman, go to her Ruth Youtube channel.
I’ll have to send Pastor Bledsoe a letter of appreciation, his actions certainly deserve it.
