Bat shit crazy: Christian group wants, infiltrate Twin Cities Pride, and convert gays

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 the“lifestyle” and to recognize the “demons” and “generational sin” that causes homosexuality.

Does Marcus 'Pray-away-the-Gay' Bachmann know about this bat shit insanity?

picketing two of our most fundie churches (for some unknown reason), Holy Family Cathedral, and the Alaska Native Heritage Center because everyone knows Native people are heathens.

…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).

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.

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!!!

"...to learn how to reach LGBT people..."

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

Oh my.

"This one time, at gay camp..."

It would be good for them to train to love everyone, something Jesus taught. They must not have read that portion conveniently, huh.
