Climate of hate: More threats from the gay marriage mob

By Michelle Malkin  •  November 10, 2009 05:24 PM

I noted a leading Maine gay activist’s threat against traditional marriage proponents the day after Election Day.

There’s more:

Police are investigating a pair of threats against gay marriage opponents in Maine.

Marc Mutty from Stand for Marriage Maine says a threatening voicemail message was discovered Monday morning at campaign headquarters in which a female caller said, “You will be dead. Maybe not today, not tomorrow. But soon you’ll dead.” Police in Yarmouth are investigating.

Augusta police say a separate voicemail threat targeted Michael Heath, former leader of the Christian Civic League of Maine and its successor, the Maine Family Policy Council. Heath wasn’t actively involved in the gay marriage campaign, but he fought against a gay rights law in campaigns in 1998, 2000 and 2005.

Nope, no Krugman columns decrying the “insane rage” of the Left yet.

    Reporting live from Seattle, the inevitable social decay and sexual anarchy hinging on the affirmation of Refenedum 71 has not yet taken hold of Seattlites. Speaking only for myself, I was quite unsurprised.

    But on a less smarmy note, these antics in Maine are completely unacceptable and are doing nothing except hurting the cause.

    Take it with a grain of salt, but World Net Daily reports a gay activist blogger called for churches to be bombed in retaliation for the fact a majority of people (and, therefore, across a spectrum of people) disagree with redefining marriage. Screen caps at the link.

    Wonder if this qualifies as “hate” under that new legislation Obama just signed…

    I’m not sure (having not read the full text of the law), but I don’t think Christians and Jews are protected classes. So feel free to threaten in the name of tolerance.

    With the extremely uncomfortable and crushing weight of the guilt and shame of a reprobate life having to be carried daily, and the knowledge of their inability to free themselves from the lifestyle, their lives manifest in anger and hatred toward those who have the freedom and are not caught in the snare.

    Much the same way that those under the crushing weight of Islam look at the West in their freedoms and know they are unable to partake. Even moving to or being born in the West they find they are still bound by the unbearable shackles of Islam.

    In either case they find the wide road most easily traveled is to strike out in a jealous and hateful rage.

    Once again we are intimidated by the threats of violence promised by a militant minority. The (all to accomandating) majority watch silently as traditional America values are assaulted in front of them, somehow comforted by the knowledge that this is the CHANGE they demanded, that the joy of racial healing and manufactured equality supersede all other issues be they domestic or international. America’s once vital promises of independence, opportunity and freedom have become entitlements that are now granted and not earned. Social and moral relativism are the new HOPE of minority groups who continue to pervert the will of the (gutless) majority until tyranny becomes the law of the land.

    We might have K-47s or whatever, but they’ve got K-12 in their sights, not us. Like terrorists are very patient, so are most gay activists, and their ace in the hole is the ultimate converting of our kids to the unconditional tolerance of the “new normal”. Ammo can’t do squat against that. Only gutsy pols can.

    What really bothers me is that the majority of those commenting about the story in the local papers in Maine are saying things like these guys set up the threatening messages with their friends in order to get more attention or turn the tide against gays. Or, that they brought it on themselves and deserve it for being “bigots.” They feel this is a joke. Yet they were outraged a couple of weeks ago with an anti-gay sign nailed to a tree, and yes police labeled THAT a hate crime. Death threats against Christians, though? Pssh, who cares?

    It’s sick.

    Feminism couldn’t kill it. Lax divorce laws couldn’t kill it. So it’s down to the next item on the docket: marginalize the meaning of marriage.

    Gay marriage proponents are correct in saying it didn’t adversely affect marriage in, for example, Europe. But birthrates and marriages are in steady decline there, as they are in the US. So it’s really diminishing the need for marriage.

    The biggest threat to a totalitarian state is the cohesive nuclear family unit. Anything that undermines that will be tried.

    Just so we’re perfectly clear here, I in no way support homosexual “marriage” – truth be told, I’ve been on the gay marriage lobby’s hit list just for signing a petition in support of traditional marriage (someplace other than in Maine).

    So, understanding that, you also need to understand that some of these “gays” are a lot tougher than the average he-man. And don’t forget that it doesn’t take a tough guy to toss a firebomb into a house or a church. It doesn’t take a tough guy to pick up a gun and start shooting people.

    In other words, don’t be so dismissive. These people could do some real harm if they aren’t dealt with by the authorities, and forcefully so.

    They want to do that anyway but the sissies are getting bold. Perhaps the perverts can take bomb making lessons from the left over Klowns of the Klan, IRA or their man in Libya. Shut of the power to their Bath Houses and really get the sissies upset. It will cause them Pre-Post-Tramatic-Stress-or it that reserved for mohammedans?

If there was ever going to be a backlash, it would’ve been after 9/11. But I’ve heard nothing about random beatings, people blowing up Muslims’ homes with car bombs, etc.

    We have chosen to have kids. We have chosen to rear our kids. And we have given up some much less important things in order to do rear and educuate our kids. But what we have gained outweighs everything we have given up.

    I am all for legalizing gay marriage. (Being able to legally marry the consenting adult of your choice is something heterosexuals take for granted, not a “special privilege.”)

    HOWEVER, this does not excuse or mean that I excuse threatening or violating the privacy of opponents of legalizing gay marriage.

    I don’t think most supporters of gay marriage will excuse that behavior, kind of like how most pro-lifers do not advocate or excuse the shooting of abortion doctors or the bombing of abortion clinics, and kind of like how most gay marriage opponents do not excuse or condone beating or killing gay people.

    I defy anyone who favors uni-gender marriage to explain how it that one man and one woman can get a marriage license and, either one of them or both can be a homosexual?

    You do not see people who prefer to drive on the left side of the road petitioning for laws to set-aside special roads where they can do that. No, they get a license to drive and then learn to accept driving on the right side whether they prefer it or not.

    Getting a marriage license is NOT dependent on passing any test of heterosexual preference. Homosexuals are FREE to marry someone of the opposite gender and that proves that one man-one woman marriage laws pass ‘equal protection’.

    They cannot get around this fact and getting violent about it won’t change the truth.
