Melissa Fryrear says Love is a code word (you'll never guess why)

http://www.pamspaulding.com/weblog/2005/01/focus-on-family-goes-after-music.html


Focus on the Family goes after music artists contributing to HRC "Love Rocks" CD


Here's an opportunity to publicize the thing you're trying to kill...Focus on the Family wants to go after Mandy Moore, Yoko Ono and Dolly Parton. Does this organization have anything better to do? It looks like FoF's "Gender Issues Analyst" Melissa Fryrear's worried about homo Trojan horses (I'm not sh*tting you). From the queer-fixated, AmTaliban Southern Baptist news organ, Baptist Press, an incredible piece of wingnuttery (BP News):
-----------------

Taking sides in a cultural battle, some of the nation's top artists -- including Mandy Moore, the Dixie Chicks and Dolly Parton -- have contributed to a CD that benefits the nation's largest homosexual activist organization.

All of the proceeds from the CD, "Love Rocks," will go to the Human Rights Campaign -- a homosexual activist organization that has figured prominently in the push to legalize same-sex "marriage" nationwide and works to promote "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights." The two-disk CD set -- which is being released just in time for Valentine's Day -- features some 30 artists, including Yoko Ono, who sings "Every Man Has a Man." Other top artists are Christina Aguilera, Emmylou Harris, Pink and Carole King.

-snip-

But Focus on the Family's Melissa Fryrear, a former lesbian, said the CD's use of the word "love" is deceptive.

"'Love' is one of the Trojan horses for the acceptance of homosexuality," Fryrear, a gender issues analyst, said in an e-mail to Baptist Press. "Gay activists are trying to find an argument that carries emotional weight: 'love,' after all, sounds good to everyone. "The problem, though, is their definition of 'love' is carefully camouflaged to mean more than Cupid ever meant it to mean. Their definition is meant to mean the acceptance and the celebration of homosexuality."

2. So, "Jesus Loves" and "God Loves" mean
that they're both queer?

4. Great, another self-loathing homosexual!
In their efforts to find evil hidden meanings, they are the ones twisting words around to give them new meanings they were never meant to have. IMHO, "love" means "love," not "let's destroy society and impose the Gay Agenda right now!" :eyes:

5. Cupid? Fancy invoking a pagan image
to sell your christo-fascist tripe. She should be stoned as an idolatress for acknowledging a false deity.

Cupid's a Roman symbol, and we all know how decadent they were. I think Fryrear's the trojan horse here.

6. This sort of thing is what these friggers think is
"doing the Lord's work", their "Christian duty". The religious insane.

11. Actually I think they do it because they are terrified
of themselves. Hate is always a cover up for fear. We may feel hate toward these people because we fear they are going to win and ruin our freedom. And because they try to demean us.

They are not going to win. They are just too ridiculous. And we are the ones who truly want love and peace.

8. Definitely still gay
Notice the suit and the straight haircut? The lack of makeup?

Gays can sense one another from 1,000 feet away. Or from a photo.

I'm not being nasty here - I'm bisexual myself. :D

And Falwell is flaming! :scared:

12. That's why they think it's a "choice."
Because they can go either way.

9. I've said this for years:
There's no such thing as bad publicity.

We should thank the fundie nutbars for calling attention to the matter, evoking interest, and selling more albums. :)

10. LMAO
I love how they put the word marriage in quotation marks, as though it's simply too ridiculous to apply the word to gay couples, but the words former lesbian are not enclosed by quotes. Too damn funny!

I could probably turn this 'former' lesbian in a flash, but I find her completely unattractive, aside from her obvious nuttiness.

13. A "Christian" org that FOCUSES on hate and tearing people down...hmmm.
Edited on Tue Feb-01-05 01:05 PM by ultraist
It seems that they should focus on promoting something good rather than these ongoing witch hunts.

If they are so concerned about children, why aren't they out there making certain children in poverty have enough to eat and proper medical care?

These people are so far out there, it's hard to imagine anyone would take them seriously. I think they will go up in flames eventually, just like Tammy Faye and Jim Baker did.

:evilfrown: :nuke:

18. I wonder if she's the 'Gay Detector' they were boasting about last week
She's "Grand Inquistor and Gaysmeller Fryrear", I'd guess.

20. She's making my gaydar go beep beep beep.
I guess by her logic, she never says she loves anyone, and NEVER let's anyone tell her they love her.

it's slowly creeping into the mainstream y'all.
