Foster: Arrest Dan Savage

Anti-gay activist DL Foster calls for Dan Savage’s arrest for starting the It Gets Better Project to curb LGBT youth suicide

It is a fact that LGBTQA kids have committed suicide since the start of the It Gets Better Project.  It is also a fact that they have not killed themselves because of the messages shared in those videos.  However what has driven them to pain so deep that they believe the only relief would come from death, is the teaching of homophobic ASSHOLES like DL Foster.  Foster promotes himself as an ex-gay Evangelist.   He’s been “cured” of his gayness by Jesus Christ.  Well good for him.  The strain of living a lie must be overwhelming.  The question is, which life exactly is the lie?  I have my own opinions on it, but they are of course just that.

If these religious nuts would spend less time fostering an environment ripe for hate, bigotry, and intolerance, their kids would stop taking this shit to school with them.  This kind of ignorance is learned, but can be unlearned.  The problem is that nothing is ever done about it until we have a dead kid.  So for every political and religious leader that would stand against anti-bullying laws because they don’t want to protect gay kids, I give a huge FUCK YOU!  Gay kids are not the only ones that are bullied to the point of homicide or suicide.  To stop measures that would protect all kids, and then call yourself a loving parent, is one of the most hypocritical stances of the homophobic.  

If a child is bullied for their weight, race, shyness, intelligence, sexual orientation, or any other reason, the ADULTS need to stand up and put an end to it.  But no, you don’t want to do that because your god forbid those preventative measures accidentally save the life of a gay kid in the process.  How about spending a little less time maligning those trying to save lives, and spend more time working on not being the force that ends lives. ~ Kim
