I Swear—Homosexual Activists Do the D***edest Things
by Peter Sprigg
November 9, 2010
(Caution: Some of the information below, and the website it describes, are not appropriate for children.)
Some homosexual activists are their own worst enemies.
The latest evidence of that fact is a website recently brought to my attention by someone who wrote to the Family Research Council. I refuse to post an actual link to this website, but you can easily type it in yourself. It follows the form of f**h8.com, with letters in the second and third positions.
The beginning of that web address is the three consonants of a well-known four-letter obscenity known as “the f-word.” The “h8” at the end of that address stands for “hate.”
Homosexual activists have been spelling it “h8” ever since the successful 2008 campaign in California to pass Proposition 8, a constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Twenty-nine of the fifty states now have such amendments.
Leave aside, for the moment, the mystery of how treating uniquely the human relationship that is uniquely capable of reproducing the human race, and believing that children deserve a mother and a father, could possibly constitute “hate.”
If you go to the website, you will find a short (two minutes or so) video. It consists of several people ranting and raving against the opponents of same-sex “marriage”–while repeatedly “dropping the f-bomb.”
Is this supposed to be funny? Do homosexual activists really think that the way to persuade opponents of same-sex “marriage” to support it is–to swear at people? Repeatedly?
During the Proposition 8 campaign, one of the most effective issues for advocates of Prop. 8 was the concern that children would be taught to affirm and celebrate homosexuality and same-sex “marriage” in the public schools. Opponents vehemently insisted that same-sex “marriage” would have no impact on schools or on children whatsoever. So then what happened? A class of first-graders was brought to San Francisco City Hall to witness the wedding of their lesbian teacher. So much for the “no impact” claim.
Another example occurred in the recent debate over legislation that would repeal the current law against open homosexuality in the military. To break a filibuster, liberals had targeted two Republican senators–Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine. To sway the votes of Collins and Snowe, homosexual activists staged a major rally in Maine the day before the vote. The headline speaker was Stefani Germanotta, the 24-year-old, strangely-dressed, boundary-pushing pop singer better known as “Lady Gaga.” The effort failed, as Collins and Snowe voted with the rest of the Republican caucus. But did homosexual activists really believe that the gentleladies from Maine would be persuaded by Lady Gaga?
Actually, the point of the anti-“H8” web video is not to change minds–it’s to raise money. You can buy t-shirts, buttons, or stickers bearing the “F**H8” message, or milder and less cryptic ones like, “Some dudes marry dudes. Get over it.” Proceeds will “help fund the fight for equal marriage rights.”
Five dollars from the sale of each thirteen-dollar t-shirt is donated to one of four pro-homosexual activist groups (none of which sponsor or endorse the website). One is the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which was founded by Hollywood actor and director Rob Reiner (yes, the “meathead” from All in the Family) to hire Republican and Democratic super-lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies for a federal lawsuit to overturn Proposition 8. So the August decision by Judge Vaughn Walker (now on appeal), that same-sex “marriage” is a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, was funded (at least in some small part) by “f-bombs” on the web.
But what is really shocking about the video is this: three of its participants are children. Not teenagers–young, pre-adolescent children. One is a boy who appears to be about six years old. Another is a girl who looks to be perhaps nine. The third is a girl who is perhaps eleven. And yes–the children drop the “f-bomb” too.
Is this supposed to be funny? It’s not. It’s child abuse.
Two of the children make specific reference to their “gay” parents. I don’t know if this is true, or if they are just young actors reading a script.
But either way–can they really believe that swearing children are a good tool to expand support for their cause? Are we to understand that this would be the brave new world under “gay” parenting and same-sex “marriage”–a world in which parents teach obscenities to their children, then put videos of them using those obscenities on the web to raise money?
If so–God help us. And God save the children.

This is an awesome commercial! I love it. You should just get over the hang-up with kids swearing, they say it on the playground anyway. Get over it.
I think maybe, just maybe, your concerns are misplaced. The kids, not the language. How can you ever serve the needs if you can’t get beyond this. Nice language is YOUR rule, not their buy-in. Go to where the NEEDS are. And sometimes, you need to endure the S**t to get there. Hold your nose if you must, but GO.
I agree with Paul. The commercial is both appropriate and acceptable. It is a manifestation of the level of anger LGBT men and women face on a daily basis having been bullied and belittled, demeaned by the religious right in this country for far too long.
It’s time for you to put this aside, Mr. Sprigg. You seem to pride yourself on earning an income by causing harm to men and women simply because of who and how they love.
Your level of immaturity in this post is rank. You seem to lack maturity enough to write out the word “fuck” in a blog entry to clearly describe your hollow angst and instead, allude to a word that, when used appropriately, is neither obscene or uncalled for.
Your faith is not mine – is not ours. Please keep your household religion and your shallow cry of “Family and freedom” out of my home. You are neither wanted or appreciated and any claim you can make against my family simply because my partner and I are both men wreaks of ignorance and intolerance.
Welcome to 2010, Mr. Sprigg. Isn’t it about time you stop using your religion to persecute others?

Amen! God save the children and wake up the American voters to the harm open homosexuality does to society.
Wow. It’s amazing how the simple declaration that natural marriage is a good thing is seen as persecution. There’s nothing bullying, demeaning, or belittling in this. It is a simple, natural fact – that marriage between one man & one woman is a good thing. Children raised by both biological parents gives them the best outcome possible. Homosexuality causes physical harm & disease.

It’s not for profit only.
It’s also probing how much bullying they can get away with.
