Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans
for Truth About Homosexuality, has blamed the gays for ruining
Thanksgiving.
In
a blog post, LaBarbera chided gays who are grateful for
increasing LGBT rights.
“As secularism and – dare I say –
godlessness deepen in these United States, many are leaving God out
of Thanksgiving Day,” LaBarbera wrote. “Language always follows
the heart: have you noticed the habit that has crept in of being
thankful for this and that – without being thankful to God?”
“Now homosexuality advocates (and
others) have taken this regrettable phenomenon a step further: using
Thanksgiving as an opportunity to be 'thankful for' developments that
are decidedly ungodly – e.g., the advance of out-and-proud
homosexualism, including 'same-sex marriage,' in the United States.”
“I came upon this homosexual website
article timed for Thanksgiving about homosexuals being thankful for
various 'gay rights' achievements, including more lesbians on TV. We
know as Christians and Bible-respecting Jews that Our Heavenly Father
is not smiling on that.”
LaBarbera, who is based in Chicago,
loudly protested passage of a gay marriage law in Illinois.
“Last week, while AFTAH protested
outside at the University of Illinois-Chicago, Illinois Gov. Pat
Quinn (D) – in addition to sullying Abe Lincoln’s good name –
quoted the Bible (the 'love' passage in 1 Corinthians 13) to
celebrate his signing of a homosexual 'marriage' bill into law.
Folks, this [is] political profanity. To paraphrase another Democrat
who sold his soul to the 'Gay' Lobby – Barack Obama – God is
definitely NOT in the mix when it comes to recasting 'marriage' to
accommodate sexual perversion.”
“So have a great Thanksgiving …,”
LaBarbera concluded.
