An evangelical group has spent 5 years planning an infiltration of Twin Cities Pride to save LGBT people from the lifestyle. Their mission includes a plan to set up safe houses to help LGBT people become ex-gay and convert to Christianity.
Humility 2014 is a plan, 5 years in the making.
Devout Christians have been training at a Messenger Boot Camp at Way of the Lord Church in Blaine, just north of Minneapolis to learn how to reach LGBT people and move them out of thelifestyle and to recognize the demons and generational sin that causes homosexuality.

are so COMPLETELY disrespectful and offensive to LGBT people.
They really have some fucking nerve.
They don't deserve any respect. They deserve to be ridiculed and castigated for continuing to cause so much pain, suffering, and death within the LGBT community (even today).

(3,795 posts)But they expect to be respected for their religious beliefs, and THEY feel persecuted (which is laughable compared to how badly they malign and persecute the LGBT community). Calling them out for their behavior is not persecution.
They really do expect to be respected though. I have known WAY TOO MANY of these people in my life, and I do not oblige them. I give them the respect they deserve in light of how much harm and suffering they cause.

I hope they trained to be very disappointed.

(29,503 posts)Have their wimmin folk flash their private parts/vaginas to gay men who prefer penises, and in most cases, who are men who know they love penis as opposed to vagina because they tried vagina and hated it? Sounds like a productive pursuit, lol. Hey, if it turns more straight men gay, I'm all for it!!!

Now hang on just a second. They are sending young people off to camp, to learn how to pretend to be gay?
Oh my.
