AFA Shows a “scary” video

Ole Don Wildmon cranks it out again with another “Action Alert!” He posts a vide which he calls “very offensive” because most of it doesn’t fit into his narrow, twisted-bible-view of the world.  All this to drum up fear of the Hate Crimes bill being worked on in the Congress.

A new “hate crimes” bill further protecting homosexual activity has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act would increase protection for the kind of activity shown on this video.

The bill is the first step toward silencing any opposition to the homosexual lifestyle. This video will show you the kind of activity this bill protects. The video was shot during an actual homosexual pride parade in Dallas.

If this “hate crimes” bill is passed, and you publicly protest, complain or oppose the type of activity in this video, your action could eventually be construed to be subject to prosecution for a criminal act.

Well there’s probably only one overtly sexual scene in the entire video and that’s the two “cowboys,” one giving another a bath, which sort-of looks like siimulated masturbation which the parade probably could have done without.  But the main thing is the people that go to be in the parade and those who watch the parade know exactly what to expect.

You be the judge.

*Update: Video set to private by poster (good for him), so you’ll have to go by my description below.

There is no nudity, some “package stuffing,”  and a lot of drag queens.  The over-all premise to be scared of this according to Don’s fearmongering alert was to make it seem like this would be a daily occurrence throughout the nation if a hate crimes bill is passed.  That’s not what the hate crimes bill does.  It prevents employers from discriminating against potential employees because of real or percieved sexual orientation, true equal housing and lending, and stiffer penalties to people who kill people based SOLELY on their real or percieved sexual orientation.  It has nothing to do with squelching the right of free speech and the peaceable protests of Christians or any other religion.

Don’s red-herring is just that, using the typical fear-tactics his group is known for to further an agenda of HATE and control.  Fascisim will come to this country wearing a flag and bearing a cross.
