The Right's Obsession With Homosexuality

I took a trip over to Andrew Breitbart's Big Government and noticed that out of the top fourteen headlines, six of them are written by Jim Hoft and carry the "Fistgate" moniker.  I had already written about a couple of Hoft's previous articles, pointing out that he seemed to cite his own articles published on other websites or websites that reference his own website, but it surprised me to see so much space dedicated to his anti-homosexual articles.

As listed on Big Government's homepage, there is Fistgate I, "Jennings Conference Promoted Dangerous 'Fisting'"; Fistgate II, "Jennings Conference Distributes 'Fisting' Kits"; Fistgate III, "'Little Black Book: Queer in the 21st Century'"; Fistgate IV, "Gay Bar Guides for Teens"; Fistgate V, "Teacher Laments, 'Fisting...often Gets a Bad Rap'"; and Fistgate VI, "'No Dookie On Your Noodle".

Reading all the "fistgate"s, I noticed a few things, other then author Jim Hoft's resesmblence to Michael McDonald's recurring character on MadTV, Stuart Larkin.  I had already read the first two Hoft articles, and was surprised when I noticed he had 4 more today.  In Fistgate III, the smear focuses on material given to teens and young adults at a GLSEN conference, which discusses the safety of particular sexual activities, use of a condom, and a list of area gay bars.  The material, a pamphlet titled "The Little Black Book: V 2 Queer In The 21st Century," it is written in street vernacular.  While the right believes it to encourage homosexuality, it discusses the the risks involved in various sexual acts, such as "fuckin'", "suckin'", "rimming", and "watersports (piss play).  Hoft uses as a source for his argument Mass Resistance, an anti-gay website and blog (their blog features a picture of newly married male couple with the title "'Sodomy' Marriage" and a caption "Made in heaven?".

In the Fistgate IV article, Jim Hoft starts off with referencing his own articles again. He writes "Earlier today it was reported that Kevin Jennings’ Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) organization was distributing gay bar directories to high school students at the 2005 Massachusetts GLSEN conference," linking to his own Gateway Pundit article for Fistgate III.  The article also references a World Net Daily article from 2000, referencing the "recent arrest of a Chicago GLSEN leader for soliciting sex with an underage boy", but failed to mention that the article was from 2000, making the event appear all the more recent and quotes Peter LaBarbera of the Americans for Truth Project, a dedicated "organization devoted exclusively to exposing and countering the homosexual activist agenda."  In the article, LaBarbera states that "GLSEN has claimed to protect ‘at-risk’ kids" but are instead "helping put young teenage boys at risk" by giving them guides to anonymous sex clubs and leather bars.  Apparently, there are particular children who are "at risk" of becoming homosexual, and GLSEN is helping them become gay.  According to LaBarbera, homosexual organizations aim to "criminalize Christian opposition to behavior that most Americans believe is wrong," and GLSEN just happens to be one of them.  The Americans for Truth Project categorizes homsexuality as a lifestyle that is learned, and is inherently wrong.

Fistgate IV is pretty much a reprint of Fistgate III, and Fistgate V states that Kevin Jennings, the Safe School Czar, was aware of this material at the GLSEN conference almost a decade ago.  Fistgate VI focuses on a passage from "The Little Black Book", which discusses condom use.  The Jim Hoft transcript is as follows:

“No Dookie On Your Noodle! Nobody knows better than queer men that sh*t happens. It’s just a fact of life…and butts*x. While there are steps to take to avoid a mess, they’re not always practical for the boy on the go. Condoms allow you a certain freedom that can be a great selling point if you’re cruising the park and don’t want stray spunk on your new polyester shirt…”

Understanding that the entire pamphlet was written in slang, Hoft makes the connection that the sex act is to take place in the park.  Hoft states that GLSEN is basically reccommending boys go out "cruising for anonymous anal sex in public parks with strangers".  According to Wikipedia, cruising is the following:

In a specifically sexual context, the term "cruising" originally emerged as an argot "code word" in gay slang, by which those "in the know" would understand the speaker's unstated sexual intent, whereas most heterosexuals, on hearing the same word in the same context, would normally misread the speaker's intended meaning in the word's more common (and presumably less threatening) nonsexual sense. This served (and in some contexts, still serves) as a protective sociolinguistic mechanism for gay men to recognize not only each other, but those who may wish to do them harm in broader societies noted for their homophobia.

Jim Hoft's interpretation of this word is from an outsider looking in, and would be similar to a white person looking at the usage of the word "nigger" and taking it to mean something completely different when spoken between African-Americans.  Instead of looking at this booklet as a guide to safe sex, Hoft looked at the entire "fistgate" scenario as one who is disgusted with homosexuality, and has chosen to dedicate his most recent articles in attacking Kevin Jennings, GLSEN, and homosexuality in general by citing prominent anti-gay organizations in his quest to rid the Obama administration of someone not like him.  What is even scarier then Hoft's articles is that he is given a pulpit to preach his hatred, and given the popularity of Big Government among the new ultra conservative wing, Hoft's anti-gay views are inching their way into the fractured GOP, where it was once unpopular to gay bash.  Check out the comments on Hoft's various articles:

Remember where this SICKO is from and where he got to promote his PERVERTED PROGRESSIVE AGENDA! Massachusetts! WOW, WHAT A SURPRISE!. The place where Ted Kennedy and Barney Frank have spewed their libRETARD agendas for decades! It's almost impossible to believe that Massachusetts was the birthplace of the American Revolution! Now the birthplace of HIGH TAXES, PERVERTS, GUN CONTROL, and PROGRESSIVES hell bent on destroying this great country. PEOPLE OF MASSACHUSETTS, WAKE UP!

I RECOMMEND THEY TEACH THIS IN SCHOOL. It's real simple! Put up a poster showing the posterior end of a human being, male or female! Then have an ARROW POINTING TO THE ORAFICE, and IN BIG LETTERS the caption: EXIT ONLY!

Isn't it disturming enough that we have communists, marxists, socialists, anarchists, and racist POLITICALLY ABSURD types in this administration. Now I guess we need to add PERVERTS too! For God's sake alreaday!


gilleysuited:
How long are we going to put up with this? WAKE-UP America. What ever it takes, and I mean WHAT EVER it takes we have to put these degenerated demons back in the ****hole they crawled out of. We can not tolerate it another second. I want some person with the presence to stand-up and denounce this scum. He will have the backing of 90% of the population. We can not let these queers ruin our culture. I will not standby any longer. Who is going to stand-up for the decent people of this country? Please people let's respond to these satanic reprobates!

Dooney:
What Jennings continues to emphasize, however, as also Barack Obama by naming Jennings to this position he maintains, is that there is direct correlation and association between homosexuality, child abuse and child sexual abuse (pedophilia).

That the U.S. government (which includes public schools by any/all associated with them) would IN ANY CAPACITY be fascilitating this is beyond disgusting, is utterly contemptible and outright hideously vile.

stacy:
Why we aren't rioting in the streets and forcibly removing everyone in the Congress and the Senate and the White House as is our guaranteed right in the Constitution, I don't know. But I do know that if we don't start and start soon, then I guess we have no one but ourselves to blame for the loss of our Freedom, the greatest Country this world has ever seen and our children. I for one, don't want to have to explain to my children why I didn't make the stand for their future and freedom, why I wasn't willing to make the sacrifices that our founders made for their children and their future and ours. I am willing to fight, bleed and die to preserve this country and all that it stands for and has stood for since our founders fought, bled and died for it because it IS worth the sacrifice. We have all known in or hearts and souls that we might have to be the ones who would find it necessary to "water the tree of liberty", just like our founders knew it would have to be from time to time, because as you know Freedom isn't Free.

Cowboy Logic:
Truthfully, I don't know how many days of this fisting Brokeback Mountain action I can take before my head explodes. I would be curious as to what Ned Beatty would think about all of this............

On a serious note, the last sentence in your thread, "Do you feel safe now?". Yes, I do. Surrounded by my guns and ammo with my family close by. I feel safe.

Mr. Hoft,
When is it considered politically correct to PI$$ on your partner?
When is it considered socially correct to PI$$ on your partner?

Do these circumstances ever intertwine and overlap?
Do Barry and MoShelle PI$$ on each other in front of the children, and are the First Daughters taught these techniques at Private Prep School in Foggy Bottom? Enquiring minds want to know. Please inform US......

Sunshine Connie:
That creature is a pervert of humanity. Tar and feathers would be too kind. By his words he should be institutionalized.
