Click here for a vintage homophobic hate tract from 1986. The comic book, by Dick Hafer, is titled Homosexuality: Legitimate, Alternative Deathstyle, and promises “the facts behind today’s headlines,” declaring that “what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own home can hurt you!”

The back cover bears endorsements by evangelical superstar Beverley LaHaye (founder and then-President of Concerned Women for America) and the late Reverend D James Kennedy, a leading light of the Christian Right, who hails the book as “a very accurate portrayal of homosexuality and the problem which it poses to our nation and civilization.”

I wonder how many “respectable” anti-gay and ex-gay organizations would still publish stuff this bad if they thought they could get away with it?

Hat-tip to BoingBoing.
