It Doesn't Get Better (Christian Anti-Gay Counter-ad)

I really wish this were a poe, but it's not. It is from the CADC. From their website DefendChristians.org:

"Our Mission The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission (CADC) is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) Education Corporation whose purpose it is to become the first-in-mind champion of Christian religious liberty, domestically and internationally, and a national clearing house and first line of response to anti-Christian defamation, bigotry, and discrimination. More History The idea of the Christian Anti-defamation Commission (CADC) is not new. It has been publicly discussed since at least 1996, and perhaps as early as the 1980s. In October of 1999, General William Hollis, J.D., Ph.D., incorporated the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission."

See how they pretend to be the victims of what they themselves commit? Ugh.

(3:30-40 = irony much?)

Holy shit this is disgusting. What kind of sick mind thinks this, and actually goes through with it and creates a video like this?

Just... just what horrible, spiteful disgusting crap they are peddling.

'Don't believe their 'lies', come and read our lies, ours are much more scary... and are actual lies, compared to the truths those gays are telling you... fucking gays, with their gayness, having the fucking gall to be happy and fulfilled and actually wanting to live, fuck them all. They should be fearing god and spending the rest of their lives forcefully suppressing their feelings so they can be more in keeping with some old shit's view of religion.'

Poe's Law: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe's_Law
"Poe's Law is an axiom suggesting that it's difficult to distinguish between parodies of religious fundamentalism (or, more generally, parodies of any crackpot or extremist belief) and its genuine proponents, since they both seem equally insane."

Unfortunately not. The YT poster is an antitheist blogger, but the source of the video is legit (as in legitimately bigoted and homophobic): http://defendchristians.org/commentary/it-doesnt-get-better/

I think what bb was asking (and if not, then I am) is what the hell is poe?

What did I say about Making things better instead of just telling teens "It Gets Better". We have to make things better, and shine a light on these bigots...the cleansing light of a Flame Thrower!

I purpose a new axiom: Haggard's Law: anyone pushing an anti-gay agenda is in fact secretly gay.

religious and non-religious people, secure in their own sexuality, just don't care about this stuff.

Upvote for bringing this asshattery under some scrutiny -- the only thing that can can counter this sort of bigotry is the collective facepalm from the (hopefully) more rational public upon getting wind of it.

While I admire your absurd Fred Flintstone stubble... you, Sir, are a douche bag of the highest order. Since events of the last couple years make it statistically improbable that you are straight, (not to mention your self-presentation,) I hope, for your sake, you are wrong and that the naturally occurring and completely healthy lifestyles you are demonizing are in fact, and obviously, healthy. Please embrace your obvious self.

Signed... a non-fooled straight guy.

Unfortunately, it may also be that they just need someone to hate.

According the study cited in the video, the incidence of cancer is significantly different for gay men versus straight men. It seems to me that this means either: a) gay men are physiologically different from straight men (and are not gay by choice); or b) God gives people cancer to punish them?

All you straight people with cancer should call the heavenly support desk ASAP, 'cause God thinks you are gay.

Here's my theory on why it so often turns out that homophobes are often themselves gay:

If you, as a man, desire other men to some degree, you might imagine that this is how every guy feels - that it's a "temptation common to man" to be resisted. You might see yourself slipping into more thoughts about men... or something.

For someone who's not gay (like me... I'm not bragging or something, I'm just, uh, not gay) the outlook is different: those gay guys like men, thus they are clearly different than me. I don't understand being attracted to a man. I can't imagine willing myself into liking men instead of women - so I would never think a gay guy could will himself into liking women instead of men. Could I imagine pretending to be gay, and living like that? Yes.. but it's really horrible: I'd be missing some of the great things in life (or, worse, having some really traumatic experiences) and lying to everyone all the time. How could I ask a gay guy to pretend to be straight?

To summarize, I think this natural empathy tempers homophobia in straight men. In closeted gays, the demand for empathy works the other way - like, "if I have to deny myself this, why can't you?" and thus you get a lot of vociferously anti-gay gays.

@jmzero Yes, but you forget the power of fear as well. Humans fear the unknown, and if someone hasn't had any interaction with gay people, they will fear them. Bigotry, however, is nuture, not nature. Once people understand we don't have to hide our children, hide our wives, hide our husbands 'cuz they're not climbin' in our windows, they tend to say "meh, gay guy, whatever."

I don't know what I love more: his hair or the backdrop.


This was all I could focus on too, and what the hell was that random switching of backdrop? I it supposed to look like he's turning to another camera, "60 minutes"-style?

So anyway , this website is run from this respectable office projected on the greenscreen eh? That probably means everything he says is true. Its a mark of credibility. Thats a fact. Look it up. In the bible.
