We all love these wonderful Christian organizations and the way they embrace the gay community...well I could be wrong...yes, I am. Let's take that loving organization the American Family Association, a perpetual favorite right wing hate group:

The AFA doesn't like me, the horror of it! Such devout people who see the face of Jesus in everything ought to be ashamed. Look at the way they have blasted their message and urged boycotts of retail outlets who do not embrace the true meaning of Christmas. But I am not talking about the birth of Jesus. This is all about the money!

Happy Holidays is out, un-Christian acording to the AFA. They want to see the word Christmas asociated with Santa and sales everywhere. Major retail stores have followed the threat as you can see in the article. Jesus' birthday is now for sale (although most intelligent people know he wasn't born on December 25th, that was a pagan holiday...but I digress)

So the AFA is assured that Jesus will be associated with the making of money. Too bad it isn't an original thought, the Pope beat them to it centuries ago. Perhaps in their new role as Jesus merchants they will leave this poor gay man alone. I'm not buying anything they have for sale.

I have a feeling that there is one word that describes them

Fascists

However, despite not being a christian I live in a christian country. I object to Happy Holidays or Seasonal Greetings. I celebrate a tradition at this time, though I do not imbue it with any particular religious power or mysticism.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
