Watch This ADF Attorney Call Matthew Shepard's Murder A Hate Crime Hoax | Blog | Media Matters for America

During the presentation, ADF attorney Erik Stanley told the audience that "the end game of the homosexual legal agenda is unfettered sexual liberty and the silencing of all dissent." After lamenting the fact that television shows like Modern Family had "normalized homosexual behavior," Stanley went on to claim that the "narrative" of Matthew Shepard's brutal murder had been "debunked":

Denying the story of Matthew Shepard's murder is a popular tactic for conservatives who want to deny that gay people face harassment, discrimination, and violence. It's also a talking point that's been thoroughly debunked by experts familiar with Shepard's murder.

ADF has been at the center of nearly every major media story about the supposed threat LGBT equality poses to religious liberty over the past several months. The group frequently represents business owners and individuals suing for the right to discriminate against LGBT customers, making it Fox News' go-to source for anti-LGBT legal commentary.

Oh and I think I finally found the "gay agenda" as per Stanley, After the Ball: How America Will Conquer Its Fear and Hatred of Gays in the 90's. I may now have to purchase this book to see exactly what my role in this agenda may be. Although I think it may be a much simpler act of gay persons coming out of the closet than an assumption of massive organization and strategy. (From my brief digging into the matter of said book, the consensus seems to be that the enclosed article was expanded to "make" the book.)

Minnesota House candidate makes AIDS, 'Gay Agenda' campaign issues | MinnPost

With Michele Bachmann and Bradlee Dean in your corner, who gives a fuck about science. This here is 'merika and truth doesn't matter.

But on a serious note, remember the "15 per cent solution" brought up in a previous posting? Here is a prime example of it at work in Minnesota.

The formula they've concocted has been called the "15 per cent solution" by the Christian Coalition. Even in a well attended presidential election, only 15 per cent of eligible voters determine the outcome,,, "We don't have to worry about convincing a majority of Americans to agree with us," Guy Rodgers, the Christian Coalition's national field director declared at the 1991 Road to Victory conference. Most of them are staying home and watching Falcon Crest."

One candidate is focused on the "real issues of - education, transportation, taxes." Whilst the other has chosen the road of hot button social issues, counting on that all important 15 percent.

Frey says he’s also talking about business and taxes. He says education is a particular passion, developed while working with then-state senator Michele Bachmann to defeat the “profiles in learning” education platform.

But when questioned about his position on social issues, Frey added that it “does certainly need to be addressed for what it is. It’s not about the gay agenda but about the science and the financial impact of that agenda. It’s more about sodomy than about pigeonholing a lifestyle.”

Frey then explained his view: “When you have egg and sperm that meet in conception, there’s an enzyme in the front that burns through the egg. The enzyme burns through so the DNA can enter the egg. If the sperm is deposited anally, it's the enzyme that causes the immune system to fail. That’s why the term is AIDS – acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.”

(This explanation of AIDS has no scientific validity, but it may strike a familiar chord: It is essentially the same one given by Bob's son, Mike Frey, in testimony given before the House Civil Law Committee last year during the debate over gay marriage.)

Of the financial impact, Bob Frey says, “It’s about sodomy. It’s huge amounts of money. AIDS is a long term illness, causing pain, suffering, death, a long-term illness that’s very expensive to treat.”
