RUBEN DIAZ’S SON REPUDIATES HIS FATHER’S BIGOTRY

            By Scott Rose

            News today from New York reaffirms that anti-LGBT bigots, generationally, are on their way out.

            In the September 13 special election to replace U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner, Democrat David Weprin is running against the sexual orientation apartheid Conservative Party candidate Bob Turner. 

            State Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr., supposedly a Democrat, yet a malicious political gay-basher, endorsed the sexual orientation apartheid candidate, saying that he praises the Lord for this chance to work with NOM to attempt to reinforce sexual orientation apartheid.

            Diaz’s son is Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. His spokesman John DeSio says: “Borough President Diaz is and has always been a staunch Democrat, and has never supported anyone but a Democrat in an election. He is supporting David Weprin in this race.”

            The vicious bigot Ruben Diaz, Sr.’s granddaughter Erica Diaz, a lesbian, previously published this article in The New York Post, repudiating her grandfather’s political gay-bashing.

            We applaud the rational members of the Diaz family.

JERRY BUELL'S MENTAL ENEMA

by Scott Rose

Jerry Buell is the piece-of-shit gay-bashing "teacher" at Mount Dora High School alleged once to have said in class that gays should serve on the front line of the military with heterosexual troops deserting them from behind.

I call him a piece of shit, because his supporters are such vicious anti-gay bigots that no matter how polite one were in writing about him and them, nothing would change them.  (And furthermore, polite language will not get the more enlightened segments of society to take adequate action to protect LGBT students at Mount Dora High School, either).  So what the fuck?  Lake County, Florida is dominated by gay-bashing zombies, incurably addicted to using God and Jesus as alibis to bully LGBT human beings in the schools and in society generally.

I asked the student who told an Orlando Sentinel reporter about Buell's anti-gay hate speech involving the military if he had ever reported, to school authorities, how he as a gay student was persecuted in the Lake County Schools.  He told me that he never reported how students or Buell or other teachers and adminsitrators were gay-bashing him, because given the district's general hostility against LGBTers, he thought doing so would be futile.  Remember; this is the part of the country where the influential Republican blogger Dr. Rich Swier keeps on saying that anti-gay bullying is a "healthy" form of peer pressure.  And, most likely, for a student to report being gay-bashed to the authorities would be even worse than futile, as it is probable that all these self-righteous Bible thumping gay bashers would retaliate against any student who complained of being abused by them.  I know for certain, such retaliation takes place against gay-bashed students in Florida's public schools.

A cached web page of Buell's faculty biography on the Mount Dora High School site had him carrying on about how he tries to teach as though he were Jesus Christ (and don't forget; with respect to gay human being's love relationships, Jesus Christ, er, I mean, Jerry Buell said "God will not be mocked!")  Elsewhere in his bio, Buell said that he takes his yearly vacations to "get that mental enema."  Too bad there isn't any mental enema powerful enough to flush the gay-bashing bullshit out of this smug asshole bigot's head.

Now before people fly off their toilet seats criticizing me for taking up the enema talk that the Holy fool Jerky Dumbbuell himself started, I want readers to think about this: at an anti-gay hate rally sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage in May, a Jesus-loving preacher yelled through a megaphone that homosexuals are "worthy to death."  NOM spent its summer spreading irrational, religious-based anti-gay hate in Iowa and got the professional political gay-basher Michele Bachmann to sign the viciously anti-gay NOM "pledge."  This past weekend in Bachmann's hometown of Waterloo, Iowa, Marcellus Andrews, a 19-year-old gay male, was beaten to death by people yelling "Faggot!" at him.

Now where is the enema that could finally rid U.S. society of this unbearable and shameful shit?  Jerky Dumbbuell's self-described yearly mental enemas are manifestly not adequate to the colossal task.

JERRY BUELL, FLORIDA'S GAY-BASHING TEACHER OF THE YEAR

by SCOTT ROSE

            Jerry Buell heads the social studies department at Mount Dora High School in Florida.  Recently, the Lake County Schools district temporarily transferred Buell to an administrative job after he gay-bashed on Facebook, to a public of about 700 “friends” who reportedly included some of his school’s current students.

            Buell said that for gay people to be granted marriage equality almost makes him throw up.  He likened gay civil unions to a cesspool.  The root of his rabid and unshakable support for sexual orientation apartheid is religious; he has referred to marriage equality as “sin,” and said “God will not be mocked.”  If you replaced his word “God” with Allah and said that “Allah will not be mocked” by homosexuals finally being granted their inalienable equal rights, you could just as well be quoting a demented Iranian Ayatollah as the head of a high school social studies department in the United States.

            And yet, Buell was once named Mount Dora’s teacher of the year.  He is the school’s faculty advisor for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, whose membership contract commits signers to abstaining from homosexuality for life.  Buell and his Fellowship want others to believe that their gay-bashing vision of Christianity is the only authentic vision for the religion, as though the Presbyterian, Episcopalian and Lutheran Churches did not ordain out married gay and/or lesbian ministers.

            A graduate of Mount Dora High School saw Buell’s gay bashing on Facebook.  After Buell knew he was alienating student Facebook friends less narrow-minded than he, but before he grasped that his actions would eventually be investigated by his employer, he lashed out at those who criticized him for his irrational gay bashing.  On Facebook, he published this: "If one doesn't like the most recently posted opinion, based on Biblical principals (sic) and God's law, then go ahead and un-friend me. I'll miss you like I miss my kidney stone from 1994." 

Facebook pages in support of Buell are crammed chockablock with ominous anti-gay bigotry.  One Buell supporter wrote:  “I am so glad that your students have you for their role model.”  Andother said: "Who do you think made Mr. Buell the kind of teacher who receives a teacher of the year award?  God of course! I don't know him but at least on this one point he is supporting biblical views of homosexuality."  Yet another of the gay-bashing Buells fans said: “I hate the gay right movement too Jerry as a Christian I going to stand for what I believe in”.

            Against that background, the Lake County Schools anti-discrimination policy and its student code of conduct do not include “sexual orientation” and “gender identity and expression” as protected groups.  This fact raises grave concerns that the community could be bullying its gay students while considering anti-gay bullying a “healthy” form of peer pressure, as per the egregious anti-gay hate speech of the dangerously influential Republican blogger Dr. Rich Swier, who operates out of central Florida.

            This reporter asked the Lake County Schools if they plan now to add “sexual orientation” and “gender identity and expression” to their anti-discrimination policy and code of student conduct.  The district’s attorneys, apparently, have told them not to furnish me with a comment.  The Mount Dora, Fla. community appears to be more concerned with protecting a gay bashing social studies department head than with making sure its gay students have a safe and nurturing learning environment.

Minnesota Public Radio's Integrity Problem

MINNESOTA PUBLIC RADIO THUMBS NOSE AT INTEGRITY
Gay-bashing lunacy on the move!

by Scott Rose

Scandal surrounds the publication in MPR's "Commentary" pages of an absolutely ridiculous essay slopped together by Carrie Daklin, an apparent gay-basher. 

Daklin's dumb diatribe is titled Franken Missed An Opportunity to be Kind to a Witness.  Daklin lands into Senator Franken because -- get this! -- he wouldn't stand for Focus on the Family's Tom Minnery committing perjury at a Senate hearing. The hearing regarded proposed repeal of the notoriously anti-gay Defense of Marriage Act, which was signed into law by a heterosexual adulterer.

Daklin's main point, that Senator Franken should have been "kinder" to a gay-bashing witness guilty of perjury, is too disingenuously cutsie to merit examination. Nonetheless, as 1) Minnery's aims are maliciously anti-gay, and 2) as Daklin defended Minnery in his viciously anti-gay aims, it is 3) notable, and suspect, that the malignant National Organization for Marriage almost instantaneously reproduced Daklin's anti-gay, anti-Franken idiocy on its NOM blog. Readers are reminded that at a NOM-sponsored anti-gay hate rally in May in the Bronx, a Christofascist extremist hollered through a megaphone at a mob of gay-bashers that homosexuals are "worthy to death."  How kind of them - and how very kind of Carrie Daklin, also, now to give NOM grist for its gay-bashing propaganda mill.

Attempting to clarify whether Daklin is in cahoots with NOM, or just a naive dolt, or something, this reporter contacted her to pose the following three questions.  1) Do you favor full legal equality for LGBT Americans?  2) Do you support NOM's mission?  3)  Are you aware of Focus on the Family's history of maliciously distorting evidence in order to incite discrimination against LGBTers?

Instead of answering those questions, Daklin grew pathologically defensive. She claims she was only interested in the matter of civility, and that to her taste, Senator Franken was not "civil" enough to Minnery.  Daklin has never acknowledged that Minnery is guilty of perjury.  Daklin has never said whether she thinks Minnery is being "civil" with his unrepentant political malice against gay human beings.

As of this writing, NOM is using Carrie Daklin's photo on the NOM blog alongside excerpts from her gay-bashing, Franken-bashing drivel. Daklin personally had supplied the photo to MPR, meaning, if she told NOM that they may not use her photo, NOM would have to remove Daklin's photo from the NOM blog.  I told that to Daklin, and apparently, Daklin did not act.  The appearance is exceedingly strong that Daklin approves of NOM's use of her photo.

Additionally, online research of campaign contribution records shows that many Minnesota Public Radio Board members donated to the Senate campaign of Al Franken's Republican rival, Norm Coleman.  Coleman is a rabid opponent of marriage equality at the state and national levels.

Carrie Daklin could very easily dispel the appearance that she is a gay-bashing NOM shill, by unambiguously stating support for LGBT equality and opposition to NOM's anti-gay hate speech. (It's the kind thing for her to do).  MPR could very easily dispel the appearance that it is thumbing its nose at integrity, by having all of its Board members sign a declaration that 1) perjury is intolerable in U.S. Senate hearings and 2) Senator Franken is to be commended for having detected Minnery's perjury and for having called him out on it.

Failing those actions, Daklin must be presumed a NOM-collaborator, and MPR a Daklin-NOM enabler, with motives of the most highly dubious sort.

IS THERE A GAY-BASHING DOCTOR AT YALE?

By Scott Rose

Yale University produced the notorious gay-basher Maggie Gallagher of the National Organization for Marriage.  Gallagher's contempt for LGBT human beings now extends even to protesting their marriages on the day they are getting married.  We might think of Gallagher as the Fred Phelps of Yale.

Or, we might think that Yale right at this moment has a Phelps-like figure right on its faculty.  Dr. Paul Amble is an Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry.  He is also the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Chief Forensic Psychiatrist.

Dr. Amble is frightfully well-connected in professional gay-bashing circles.  His sister is Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who sometimes gives him "permission" to talk to the media, apparently as a sort of proganda minister for her presidential campaign.  In a recent New York Times article, Dr. Amble said that in her ignorance-fueled, militant political gay bashing, Bachmann has simply been doing "what she thought was right."

At present, you will search in vain for any public statement from Dr. Amble reflective of a scientific understanding of homosexuality.  Were Dr. Amble only a propagandist for the Bachmann for President campaign, that would be one matter.  He is however a key figure at the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction.  It is urgent and essential that the media be able to report on whether Dr. Amble accepts LGBT human beings and supports their equality.  If he does not, then, particularly in light of his public statements in support of his sister's brass-knuckled political gay bashing, it will be absolutely impossible for LGBTers to feel safe around him or to have confidence in his carrying out his job duties without prejudice against them.

It is, furthermore, worrisome that Yale University has on its faculty a psychiatrist who refuses to clarify his understanding of homosexuality and his baseline attitude towards LGBT human beings.  This reporter e-mailed him at his Yale address, hoping to learn whether he had a scientific understanding of homosexuality.  Turns out, Dr. Amble answers no questions without the Bachmann for President campaign's permission, and the campaign evidently isn't permitting him to comment on whether he has a scientific understanding of homosexuality.  URGENT UPDATE: A commenter on an Advocate article alleges that Dr. Amble practices reparative "therapy."  This could, or could not be true.  Remember that before being caught in a sting, Marcus Bachmann lied about whether his clinic engaged in the fraudulent "treatment."


Yale University President Richard Levin did not respond when asked whether his school endorses or discredits Michele Bachmann's idea that calling homosexuals "gay" comes "from Satan," which she said at the end of a very long lecture at the EdWatch National Education Conference in 2004.

To ask Yale President Richard Levin whether Maggie Gallagher's alma mater has an enlightened view of LGBTers, write to him at Richard.Levin@Yale.Edu      To ask Connecticut Department of Mental Health Commissioner Patricia Rehmer whether Dr. Amble has a scientific view of LGBT human beings, write to her at Pat.Rehmer@po.state.ct.us    And to request that Dr. Amble go on the record with his attitude towards gay human beings, write to him at Paul.Amble@Yale.Edu

RUBEN DIAZ, SR., BLINDED BY SHEER HATE

by Scott Rose

The asshole Senator Reverend Ruben Diaz, Sr. is not satisfied with having incited hoards of gay-bashing haters to discrimination and violence in May.  He now is in a conspiracy with NOM's whores for bigotry to protest gay human beings' love with his hellish hate, even going so far as to urge the virulently anti-LGBT bigot Archbishop Timothy Dolan to join him in protesting love.

I called the bigoted asshole's office and asked "Why is Senator Diaz giving priority to protesting love instead of to fighting poverty in the Bronx?"

The vicious bigoted asshole's receptionist told me "Because Senator Diaz is a Reverend, and he is bound by the Bible."

There you have it.  The malicious anti-LGBT Ruben Diaz, Sr. thinks it is more important to carry out Bible-based gay-bashing than it is to follow the Bible's directions to help the poor.

JOIN ME IN CALLING MAGGIE GALLAGHER A HATEFUL WHORE

by Scott Rose

The deviously named, viciously anti-gay National Organization for Marriage and its head whores, Maggie Gallagher and Brian Brown, will stop at nothing to fan the flames of anti-LGBT bigotry in order to stimulate donations to their vile hate group.  These people are hookers for hate, base whores.

NOM has announced an intention to "protest" the issuing of marriage licenses to gay New Yorkers through their latest money hiding scam Let the People Vote.  With this move, NOM has proven it is in a category with Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.

It is not legitimate to protest the issuing of marriage licenses.  The victims of this harassment are not only those applying for the marriage licenses.  As has been manifest in umpteen ways, countless heterosexual parents of gay people, and brothers and sisters of gay people, and friends of gay people, et cetera, take joy from their friends' and relatives' personal love commitments and want to see them honored with equality.  When a gay couple marries, they become a loving part of the entire circle of their two respective families.  This love is to be celebrated.  Hateful protests of this beautiful big circle of love are just that; hateful.

LGBT Americans should understand that every time they enter into point-by-point debates over their equality with an anti-LGBT bigot, they are validating the bigot and allowing themselves to be harassed by that bigot.  Formulating a definition of anti-LGBT hate speech is not difficult; Anything less than acceptance of and support for the equality of one's LGBT fellow citizens is anti-LGBT hate speech.  Gallagher relentlessly engages in obviously unacceptable anti-LGBT hate speech, as a strategy for stimulating monetary donations to her anti-LGBT hate group.  What other minority has to suffer this level of constant attack in America today?  Any person straight or gay who does not comprehend that Gallagher's anti-LGBT hate speech is far more offensive and dangerous than the use of mere curse words needs to rethink the matter.

Over the past few months, I have been conducting an experiment with one of NOM's head whores, whom I contacted using these email addresses:  maggie@imapp.org mailto:maggiegallagher1960@gmail.comSometimes, I sent her simply a question, for example; "What about LGBT equality do you say takes away from your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?"  When I send such an e-mail, I get no response.  Other times though, I will send that very same question, in a profanity-laced e-mail calling Maggie Gallagher a whore.  Gallagher then responds, not by answering the pertinent questions but with a goody-two-shoes comment about the curse words. 

Yet, nothing about the curse words negates the relevance of the substantive questions.  There is nothing about LGBT-equality that takes away from Maggot Gagginwhore's life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.  And, it would not be asking too much to ask President Obama to pose the question to Maggot Gagginwhore in public: "What about LGBT-equality takes away from your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?"  In the meantime, though, as many people as possible should be e-mailing Gallagher with the question "What about LGBT-equality takes away from your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?"  No curse words necessary.  Just millions of curious people, each demanding to know "What about LGBT-equality takes away from your life, liberty and pursuit of happiness?" If you are on Twitter you can tweet MaggieMarriage and Brian Brown and fill up NOMTWEETS page, too.

I admit, there is for me a heightened personal aspect motivating me to counter Maggot Gagginwhore's vicious anti-LGBT bigotry.  In the Lexington, Mass. junior high-schools, I was a target for anti-gay bullies.  Many years after I left those schools, Lexington began an equality curiculum, protested by antigay bigoted parents, whose court case was dismissed.  Maggot Gagginwhore and others like her have made Lexington a nation-wide example, for a very evil reason.  Gagginwhore stokes the flames of bigotry by pointing to Lexington as an example of how parents' "rights" to teach their children to be anti-gay bullies are being taken away.  PolitiFacts proved those bigots' allegations to be gay bashing propaganda.  It's enough to make me want to fling Maggot Gagginwhore violently up against a locker, or to spit in her face, as was done to me in the Lexington junior high schools.  Not that I ever would do such things, but -- we should be mindful that the anti-LGBT bullies still do act out violently against gay victims, sometimes inspired by the Maggie Gallaghers of this world.

Gagginwhore's and Brown(shirts)'s main objective in organizing "protests" of the issuing of marriage licenses is to stimulate donations to their anti-LGBT hate group, donations that they hide violating campaign and lobbying finance laws in states nationwide, as reported by gay presidential candidate Fred Karger, who is not going to let them get away with their alleged felonious crimes .  Please join me in calling Gallagher and Brown hateful whores.
