Right wing video warns: Gays are plotting to invade City Hall

The town of Eureka Springs is turning into the "San Francisco of Arkansas," warns the American Family Association, and it can happen in your town too.

The presentation in the AFA trailer below, "They're Coming to Your Town," tells the tale of an uncharacteristically diverse resort town's government infiltrated by "a handful of homosexual activists" and bent to their will through the enactment of the town's domestic partner registry on June 22, 2007.

"Watch, and learn," says the trailer, "how to fight a well-organized gay agenda to take over the cities of America, one city at a time."

Eureka Springs, most recently, has gotten an honorable mention from unlikely celebrity and Oklahoma House Rep. Sally Kern, who propped it up as an example of the "gay agenda" that she has called a "death knell" and a larger threat than international terrorism, in addition to comparing such an "agenda" to cancer.

The domestic partner registry isn't legally recognized outside Eureka Springs due to Arkansas' Amendment 83, passed in 2004, which simply reads: "Marriage consists only of the union of one man and one woman." Amendment 83 was invoked by Rev. Philip Wilson, a vocal opponent of the registry who said that it would render the town a "homosexual mecca." Wilson submitted two sets of petition signatures, aiming to force enactment of the registry onto a special ballot, which were declined.

"It's Eureka's nature to welcome ALL who choose to visit," says the "Welcome" page at Eureka Pride, which presides over three "diversity weekends" throughout the year and maintains a directory of LGBT-owned and LGBT-friendly businesses in the community. "Eureka has a very diverse population. We're Victorian in style, not in attitudes. Yes, we have a 7 story Jesus that sits atop East Mountain at the Passion Play grounds. But we're also home to many art galleries, fine dining establishments, and some of the best nightclubs in the region."

It makes all the crazy come out in their staunchest supporters.

Other winners I've heard:

"Sweden conducts Nazi-esque Eugenics programs."

"Obama is really a Radical Muslim." (Thanks Hillary for the Wright "scandal"...cleared that up nicely).

administation (and so called "experts"). That's how he bribes them. Do they rule DC?

Why is this even a subject? Diverse population because America is diverse. When you think about it being gay isn't just American. They are in every population regardless of what many may think.

The marriage agenda is yet another issue altogether. Gays should enjoy the same rights as anyone else. If the church wants to "marry" only man and woman then do it. It is their religious right. How ever the state should give a "union contract" to any citizen. These citizens can enjoy the same legal rights as others.

It's a refreshing oasis in the desert of ignorance that is Arkansas.

It's an odd mix of a town. The downtown area is beautiful and full of great little shops and art galleries. But on the road coming in to town you see all the tacky tourist traps selling "gen-u-ine hillbilly soo-ven-ears" and the music barns (including one that featured Anita Bryant). Oh, and don't forget the massive Christ of the Ozarks statue.

I was never quite sure rather the LGBT folk went out to the hillbilly shops and opry shows to gawk at the straights or the breeders came downtown to gawk at the homo-seck-shuls.
