"Homofacism" = Not letting far-right "Christians" pick on gays.
WND's Unruh Uncritically Touts Anti-Gay Hate Group's Claims of 'Homofascism'
Topic: WorldNetDaily
One of the more ridiculous ledes we've ever read kicks off in Bob Unruh's April 6 WorldNetDaily article:
Hunt for the word homophobia purportedly a fear of homosexuality and Merriam-Webster, the ADL, Wikipedia, Oxford Dictionary, The Free Dictionary, the Reference Dictionary and others are ready to provide help.
But look for homofascism the use of homosexuality to bludgeon and batter the religious rights of Christians and others and the logical resources are silent, leaving it to blogs and others to define.
At no point does Unruh consider that this is because homophobia is an actual thing, while "homofascism" is a term made up by homophobes for the sole purpose of denigration. But since the purpose of Unruh's article is to further the idea of "homofascism," he's not about to let such things as logic get in his way.
And ironically,Unruh as teamed up with the leader of a hate group to promote "homofascism." Scott Lively is head of Abiding Truth Ministries, which the Southern Policy Law Center has identified as a"hate group" for Lively's vicious anti-gay activism. We've documented how WND uncritically promotes his homophobia and covers up for his extreme anti-gay activism when he's caught going way over the line, as he did in allegedly inspiring a proposed law in Uganda that would permit the death penalty for mere homosexuality.

Hunt for the word homophobia purportedly a fear of homosexuality and Merriam-Webster, the ADL, Wikipedia, Oxford Dictionary, The Free Dictionary, the Reference Dictionary and others are ready to provide help.
But look for homofascism the use of homosexuality to bludgeon and batter the religious rights of Christians and others and the logical resources are silent, leaving it to blogs and others to define.
For example, at DefendProclaimtheFaith.org, a blogger wrote, In light of all the information that I already posted and current information in this digest, I believe I may have coined a phrase. I am no longer titling the information as homosexual but homofascism. I am going to use it because it fits this movement.
Its not hard to recognize. Its when:
Homosexual activists charge the medical establishment with homophobia for reporting that people living the homosexual lifestyle have a much higher prevalence of HIV and other STDs, and yet using that very same information to complain the groups health issues are ignored.
Or when a 14-year-old receives death threats for defending traditional/natural marriage.
Or when those who advocate defining marriage as between a man and a woman face intimidation, vandalism, racial scapegoating, blacklisting, loss of employment, economic hardships, angry protests, violence, at least one death threat, and gross expressions of anti-religious bigotry.
Or when a 15-year-old, Brandon Wegner, is punished for sharing his opinion that homosexual couples should not be able to adopt.
Or when a homosexual activist demands a lawyer not be hired because of past support for traditional marriage.
Or a pastor is threatened with death for speaking against special protections based on sexual orientation.

(10,269 posts)apparently, if they are not getting to live in a Theocracy, that's "persecution of Christians".
And as far as all THAT goes, let me just say the following:
As a Catholic who happens to agree with the idea of a Constitutionally mandated SECULAR government (by way of the Establishment Clause), as far as I'm concerned, "The persecution of "Christians" can continue until the lions are satisfied."
