Is it just me, or has the homo-obsessed professional bible-beating set really ratcheted up the insanity over the last few weeks as the primaries approach?
Former American Family Association staff attorney Joe Murray’s still on the Dapper Don Wildmon’s mailing list, so Joe’s getting a good laugh out of the increasingly desperate calls to fill the coffers of the anti-gay, Tupelo, MS-based “Christian” advocacy group.
Behold the power of the sodomites. We’ve apparently overrun the town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and turned it into the Castro. You see, we started our insurgency when the City Council offered a marriage registry for same sex couples and to encourage tourism in a state not known for being gay friendly (look at who’s leading in Iowa polls — the state’s former governor Mike Huckabee).
For a mere $14.95, you can receive an informative 28-minute DVD on the homosexual master plan (buy 5 and save 33%!).
Rock on, my peeps! — we’re taking over one city at a time. I wonder if our sodomite efforts at infiltrating and conquering small town governments around the country are outpacing the migration of bible-thumping families of the Christian Exodus movement to take over South Carolina and secede from the U.S. to form a “Christian” nation.New DVD shows how homosexual activists took control of the city government in a small Christian resort communityAnd how they plan to do the same in other small towns
Dear Joe,
AFA has just released a new DVD, “They’re Coming To Your Town.” The DVD shows how a small group of homosexual activists took over the city council in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and began imposing their homosexual agenda on that community.
For 40 years Eureka Springs has been known as a resort town for Christians. Their Passion Play has been attended by hundreds of thousands of Christians. But the activists are now in the process of turning Eureka Springs into a haven for homosexuals.
“They’re Coming To Your Town” shows how, using deceitfulness and lies, homosexuals maneuvered themselves into positions of power and then used those positions to promote their agenda.
“They’re Coming To Your Town” is an eye-opener to those who are not familiar with how homosexuals use the system to attain their goals. It is a 28-minute DVD, making it perfect for viewing during Sunday School.
I urge you to order the DVD, watch it, then share it with members of your church. Give a copy to your pastor. Click here to view the trailer.

More after the jump - Don, gays and kleptomania.
One of my favorite unhinged utterances from Wildmon in 2007 was this gem equating gays with kleptomaniacs.
Kleptomaniacs are persecuted for behavior they can’t help. It is time for the American Psychological Association to declare that being a kleptomaniac is a normal lifestyle. Society’s hateful, mean, and bigoted attitude toward kleptomaniacs is a reflection of narrow-minded ignorance.…We should remember another group which, until recently, faced the same problems as the kleptomaniacs. They are called homosexuals. Fortunately, our society is working hard now to make up for the mistreatment of homosexuals by giving them special rights. Surely we can extend the same rights to kleptomaniacs as we do to homosexuals.
It is time for kleptomaniacs to come out of the closet and demand their special rights. I’m sure the homosexuals will help them secure those rights.

So, this particular town found a very creative way to grow their economy by attracting gay tourists who will pump money into their town? How dare they!
Uh, this isn’t one of those Passion Plays that still blames the Jews for Jesus’ crucifixion? If it was, I think I can see another motive for trying to get some other kinds of tourism to the town.
Okay, this passage from the Wikipedia article on Eureka Springs cracked me up:
I have a feeling this town wasn’t exactly the safe haven for Real True Christians that they’re claiming, what with the mayor posing nude and all.
yep kleptos are totally the same as gay people, what a bunch of idiots … somebody needs to explain to these crazy bastards the meaning of the word “consensual” and “adult” … the analogy only works if there was a group of people who enjoyed being robbed and they opened up special klepto stores where people would be encouraged to steal stuff from … but analogies (and you know just plain thinking) isn’t a wingnuts strong point.

“Is it just me, or has the homo-obsessed professional bible-beating set really ratcheted up the insanity over the last few weeks as the primaries approach?”
Yes-Yes-Yes! Makes ya wonder how awful it will be by November… thinking I will spend alot of time gardening this summer/fall to avoid the news as much as humanly possible. This will be the most rabid political season yet, I suspect…
But the question remains: will they help you party down?
This here gay agenda sounds like it’s quite a bit of fun. Is there any way I can sign on without having to give up hetero-sex? I rather like hetero-sex and am just not interested in other men. But everytime I hear some or other fundie talk about the gay agenda, I wonder what kind of good times I’m missing simply ‘cause I’m just not into guys.
Sometimes I wonder if all the fundies are secretly gay and all their tlak about “the gay agenda trying to recruit people” is just so much projection — after all, that is really what they themselves are trying to do (and I don’t mean recruit people to fundie Christianity): recruit people to the gay agenda by making it sound so cool and amazing and empowering. Then I consider what we’ve learned about certain fundies and wingnuts, and I think I don’t have to wonder.
;)
Dear Joe,
AFA has just released a new DVD, “They’re Coming To Your Town.”
Wow, the text of that letter sounds like he’s describing the tactics of the Xtian right. Stealth candidates and all. He just needed to change a few nouns.
Oooh, I can’t wait until it gets pirated and put onto You Tube. Then I can enjoy the entire wing-nutty spectacle without giving them a dime.
/hint hint
can’t we just leave all these evangelicals on Antarctica or something? They can do their faith-based woo to keep it from melting; and they won’t even have to mess with science or modernity any more.
SUNDAY SCHOOL!!?!?!?Apparently the curriculum for Sunday School has changed drastically since my parents taught there.
DAS
The official party line is that we don’t mind straight people as long as they act gay in public.
In all seriousness, though, your other point is dead on. Generally, people are oversensitive and project onto others the flaws in themselves that they aren’t dealing with.
So, getting all batshit about stealth candidates taking over local city councils to promote an agenda, worrying about recruitment, and lying about their real motives are all open and fertile fields for wingnuttery - its what they do all the time, so they cannot imagine any other motivation.
Mnemosyne, doubtless those were all true fundamentalist Christian hippies, bikers, artists and UFO enthusiasts (not space aliens, just sightings of Elijah’s flaming chariot, fer sure). Nothing to see here.
But the question remains: will they help you party down?
You, sir, win the thread.
The Homosexual Agenda is code, used to identify like-minded people. Just like patriarchy. There simply is not a lot of cross-usage.
Pam, if you have the Sundance channel, you should watch “Clear Cut: The Story of Philomath, Oregon”.
It’s a mix of homophobia, old time loggers and a “liberal” School administration.
Why is gay sex the only sex that fundies are allowed to talk about?
Straight sex = taboo. Don’t ask, don’t tell. No education, no prevention, no health care.
Hot gay sex = let’s watch the DVD!!!!!!!!!
(I guess any sex related to Bill Clinton would be an exception to this rule.)
Well all Teh Gay are doing is presenting an alternative Passion Play.
Those darned gays are just taking over everywhere. So powerful are Teh Gay, says Yoda.
Yesterday I found myself singing:
When I take you out tonight with me
Honey, here’s the way it’s gonna be
You will set behind a team of snow-white horses
In the slickest gig you’ll ever see.
Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top
Watch that fringe an’ see how it flutters
When I drive them high-steppin’ strutters
Nosy pokes will peak through their shutters and their eyes will pop!
Those darned gays and their agenda have me singing tunes from Oklahoma! Darn those darn gays.
I’m jist a girl who cain’t say ‘no’
Kissin’s my favorite food!
With or without the mistletoe
I’m in a holiday mood!
Other girls are coy an’ hard to catch
But other girls ain’t havin’ any fun!
Ev’ry time I lose a wrastlin’ match
I have a funny feelin’ that I won!
Though I can feel the undertoe
I never make a complaint
‘Till it’s too late for restraint
Then when I want to I cain’t
I cain’t say ‘no!’
DBK, now you’ve got me singing tunes from Oklahoma. Own up, you work for the gay showtune earworm agenda, don’t you?
See, I never got the Broadway thing. Always been more of an opera queen myself.
I used to sing in a gay men’s chorus. I learned the words to so many show tunes that way…
Mnemosyne, doubtless those were all true fundamentalist Christian hippies, bikers, artists and UFO enthusiasts (not space aliens, just sightings of Elijah’s flaming chariot, fer sure). Nothing to see here.
Well, nothing to see but the nude mayor. I just can’t get over that.
Yeah, I kind of did a double take on the “perfect for Sunday School” bit too. Granted, it’s been oh 20+ years since Sunday school, and 8 or more since I’ve been in a church for a regular service (I don’t count special event stuff like weddings) but I’m pretty sure had this shown up in my Sunday school class, there would have been some pretty unhappy people.
My sister’s first honeymoon was in ES, but they didn’t realize beforehand that it would be during a gay pride event of some sort. She was pretty pissed off about it; if anyone was accosted in ES by a psychotic homophobic ginger woman, I apologize.
The lesbians already took over my street. They have cats too!
Has the world ended yet?
My sister’s first honeymoon was in ES, but they didn’t realize beforehand that it would be during a gay pride event of some sort.
FIRST honeymoon???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Nasty divorcin’ straight people!
J Train, you ROCK!!
And like Brendan Fraser’s character in “Bedazzled”, my husband can name all of the players in “The Pajama Game”. For myself, I wear flannel shirts with a pushup bra, just like my dear papa! Will that be enough camouflage?
MA Jeff: “…can’t we just leave all these evangelicals on Antarctica or something?”
What the heck wrong did the penguins do to deserve THIS? (BTW, if I ever see a blood orange again, that pork roast recipe sounds FAB- since they closed the public market in Portland, nice yummies are harder to find)
Same here, DAS. Perhaps we could be each other’s beards? All we’d have to do is deal with other in a strained, tense, I Don’t Want To Talk About It In Public manner and people would just assume that we were a couple.I do attend church regularly, and I do intend to put my daughter in the Sunday school there, but the day they showed any crap like this is the day I leave that church or that Sunday school teacher is replaced, one or t’other.
Never going to happen, thankfully; knowing the Sunday school teacher, she’d be pretty horrified with the thought of it. I know our bishop got into trouble back in ‘02 by trying to push through the blessings of SSMs, and our deacon was thrilled to hear I was singing in that gay men’s chorus I mentioned… she loved our shows.
Hmm, maybe there should be a handbook on how to be a closeted straight??
Ones I can think about are:
- practice saying “my friend DAS”
- don’t hold hands but stand close together
- dress alike - nothing says “couple” like coordinated wardrobe forms (not matching colors!!) and matching Teva flip-flops!
- master the “furtive look” whereby you make “couple” looks at each other without it looking obviously like you make “couple” looks at each other
massive bonus points for:
- ability to finish each other’s sentences, with an embarassed tinge every time it happens
Other ideas?
BTW, if I ever see a blood orange again, that pork roast recipe sounds FAB
That’s why I love the epicurious widget on my blog. Lots of fun recipes. I click through, save ‘em to my recipe box, and I’m building a nice set.
Oh yeah, this is the other thing that accompanies the gay takeover, gourmands and oenophiles.
DAS. I think we take on Ms Kate as our beard trimmer

Indeed, MA Jeff- Charlie conducted wine tastings in Boston and Baltimore years ago. I loved Sunday evenings when we could dig into the sample box after tastings and drink ourselves silly. Big fan of Hungarian wines!
Oh, how dare those nasty homosexuals act like they have the right to live whereever they choose in the country in which they hold citizenship! Those poor oppressed fundementalist Christians might end up living next door to ungodly people, and we can’t have that!
I live in AUstin, not REAL close to Eureka Springs I realize; nevetheless, the town has had a reputation for EVER (since the seventies) for being a HIPPIE ENCLAVE. If you want hand tooled leather goods for low prices, Eureka Springs is where you want to go (or hand made candles, macrame, handmake soaps, incense, you know, HIPPY STUFF. You could probably get a bong shaped like Gandalf, but I can’t promise you).
And you know, once a place becomes a HIPPY ENCLAVE it tends to become LIBERAL and FUN and artists move there, and then Gay folks, and before you know it it is all expensive because PEOPLE want to LIVE there, because it isn’t a shithole anymore.
Anyway, Eureka Springs has been a decent place for a long time, a little oasis in the bible belt. Much like Austin, actually. (Just much smaller!)
Wait a second, KMTBERRY -
Are you implying that these “Christian” extremists are deliberately using deceitfulness and lies?! For shame. One might think they’re hypocrites or something.
Geh. What a bunch of idjits who don’t even know their own teachings.
Capitalism is all well and good until it’s used to court teh gays.
Of course this isn’t their own GOOD gays doin this activizing, it’s agitators from outside corruptin eden!
Puts me in mind of that old Laugh-In gag: “Governor Fauvis, there’s a Black Agitator in your washing machine!”
Same ploy, different devil.
Sorry, that was Orville Faubus with the black agitator problem.
The anti-semitic passion play is in some other Arkansas town.
Little does he know, but Donny has become an employee of the Eureka Springs chamber of commerce!
The Hubby and I have spent quite a lot of time and money in Eureka Springs, it being so close to home and all. This makes me even more inclined to take the whole family there, it’s baptist churches that I don’t want the kids to experience.
I’ll probably get drummed out for giving away secrets, but the single biggest gaydar indicator I’ve ever found is someone who uses gender-neutral terms for their own future (or clearly hypothetical) partner.
“I’m still single because I haven’t found the right person yet” is the kind of thing that slides past most straight people, but it is just a tad too politically correct - with the reasonable exception of bisexual people, nobody is so politically correct that they need to waffle on the gender of their spouse.
On a more flippant note, straight men passing for gay need to make sure their leather matches. No brown belts with black shoes. Ever. (cringe).
Someone from Eureka Springs caught wind of the Wildmon project:
Today Eureka Springs, Tomorrow Toad Suck: The Planetary Gay Agenda Disclosed.
I wish you gay folk would come run my town. It’s so drab and dreary. I’d love it to be chic and colorful and tastefully dressed.
Tell me about it. My then-partner, later wife was and is a hardcore feminist. In courtesy to her I adopted “partner” language. I grew to quite enjoy the raised eyebrows and momentary, visible brain shifts of those to whom I was talking. “Oh. Okay. I didn’t know you were gay” was written all over their faces.On a more flippant note, straight men passing for gay need to make sure their leather matches. No brown belts with black shoes. Ever. (cringe). - Peter
What about “western style” mohagany colored belts (with big, silver studs) with black shoes if the rest of the ensemble has various shades of mohagany and black in it?
I can’t help it: I take after (except in terms of my political views) my great grandfather who’s family has been in Cali since before the civil war.

Re: gender neutral terms — I have been known to use them, because my parents kinda forced me to as a way of curing me of my Nice Guy(TM) ness.

I’ve been a bad gay man. I realized it at the office. My supervisor was all, “fuck it” and I was just happy to have a sweater on so I could cover up the atrocity.
Just don’t let it happen again.
I grew-up about 30 minutes from Eureka Springs and it has always been a liberal enclave. I love that they are touting this as invasion on good Christians… hysterical! Anita Bryant tried to set up a theater there in the 90’s and was basically run out of town by the locals. The Passion Play still exists, but they really only cater to their own brand of tourist, usually coming down from Branson for the day. They even filmed a movie there with Tim Curry in the 80’s mocking the whole TV Evangalist thing, called Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammo.
I love that little town and whenever we visit my family we always spend a day wandering the streets. Plus the place is amazingly beautiful, like most of Northwestern Arkansas, and there is a lot of really intriguing history. Worth a stop if you are ever in that part of the world.
…within the republican party, it sure seems lately.
Behold: The power that is Teh Conservhosexual Agenda!
(And I don’t mean Lincoln Log Kabin Republikans, neither.)
Eureka Springs has also been known for it’s openness and diversity for longer than the passionate play has been in town.
We didn’t just suddenly spring into the Homosexual Mecca that we are today.
We didn’t just wake up one day and decide that 4 diversity weekends might be nice.. nor that the Domestic Partnership Registry be written over night.
We are diverse. We do welcome all. And most just have a great time exploring all our trails that run behind the giant old victorian homes and shops, shopping for exclusive art… and funky stuff, too. Great clothes, shoes, leather wear, jewelry, kites, masks, whatever you can think of, you can likely find it here… tho, if you need a pair of white bobby sox, you may have to visit Berryville.
Did I mention world class food? Quaint B & B’s, big ole franchise motels, whatever… no kidding.. we’ve got it.
Oh.. you know what… we now have a sock shop… so, those white bobbys may be available.
Crystals? Woo-woo tools? Sticky buns? Scones?
yep…
And Das.. there are likely more straight folks at the bars during diversity weekends.. In fact, any weekend will find you in the company of locals of all persuasions.
All in fun.. join us in running the AFA outta town.
shape than I am. Seriously vertical li’l place. Also home of
The (allegedly) World’s Smallest Wedding Chapel
The Christ of the Ozarks (I suppose he’s connected to the infamous passion play somehow)
Crescent Dragonwagon (last I heard)
Thorncrown Chapel (just outside town).
Thorncrown Chapel is worth a look, honest. Knocked my sox off. The architect, Fay Jones, made it look like an integral part of the oak woodland it sits in mostly by the genius trick of putting lots of its visible structural members at the same angle typical of the oaks’ branches. Tha path to is is planted with Ozark native plants and the native stone outcrops along it carefully reserved and/or echoed.
The place’s photo gallery makes it look more visually prominent than it is in person. Google it and imagine it less blue-gray and more brown, just for a start.
Oops. Cut off the first line when I had to re-post.
Anyone running anyhow in Eureka Springs will have to be in better shape that I am.
