- Peter LaBarbera declares a Boycott of Chicago’s Hyatt Regency and Palmer House Hilton hotels after attending International Mr. Leather there.
- Southern Poverty Law Center reports that the AFA opposes hate crimes legislation because they claim it will negate your right to call homosexuality a sin. However, bill H.R. 1592 only covers “cases where a victim was physically attacked or the subject of an attempted attack.” “Sharing your faith” by calling homosexuality a sin would still be perfectly legal.
- Joe Brummer calculates that Focus on the Family could put the $30 million they use on anti-gay forces to good use in more charitable areas, such as preventing malaria in Africa or sponsoring children in need.
- Tivo and Focus on the Family collaborated in a contest inviting participants to write an essay on why their dad is a “superdad.” In response, BTB has sent out the same request to readers – especially inviting those who have dads who are gay, or are supportive of their gay children. They will award the author of the best essay a free BTB T-Shirt.
- BTB’s Timothy Kincaid critiques the Liberty Council’s apparent lack of legal knowledge.
UPDATE: “Good As You” tried to submit an entry to FOTF’s contest praising a dad who accepts and loves his gay son. Focus has refused to print it.
And yet the only time that LaBarbera has set foot in either hotel in the past decade was to attend IML. It seems to me that if they want Mr. LaBarbera’s business, they should have IML more often.
Yes, but it would negate your right to call homosexuality a sin while violently attacking the subject. Thus Christian thugs would be treated different from other thugs.
And if the AFA doesn’t stand up for Christian thugs, who will?
Peter LaBarbera going to leather events, pride events and other “gay” events only demonstrates the his aim is dehumanize gay people, not bring god to anyone. If he truly cared about morality, etc… wouldn’t he be giving equal attention to Mardi Gras, Spring Break, Girls gone wild, etc…..
Deception by omission is when you leave out important facts as to make a false point. Peter wants you to believe that gay people are more sexual, more immoral, more crazy and self-hedonist than straight people. He fails to show you all the evidence that shows straight people do the same sorts of stuff. Therefore it is deceoption by omission.
We should expect him to go to MTV spring break and Mardi Gras? I won’t hold my breath.
Two notes on Mr. LaBarbera and his call to boycott the Chicago Hyatt and Palmer House. Number 1, in the linked OneNewsNow article, Peter says:
The Chicago Hyatt, according to its website, has just over 2,000 rooms. If LaBarbera is correct about the number of people at IML (and I heard 15,000 attendees in passing during the event – yes, I was there), either there were approximately 9 people per room or, as actually happens, people book nearby hotels as well. Shouldn’t those hotels, for taking the IML overflow guests, also be boycotted?
Number 2, neither the Hyatt nor the Palmer House will be the IML host next year. What I heard from the IML organizers is that the Palmer House, as it turns out, has just become too small, but the event normally switches between Hilton and Hyatt properties. Next year we will be at the Chicago Hilton, a totally different hotel. I would think LaBarbera would be declaring “victory” over both hotels for “forcing” them to drop the event.
Actually, heterosexual fornication is at least in line with “God’s creative design.”
So unlike those of us who are actively “mocking” God outright, by consciously choosing to be attracted to what repulses us most, they’re just sort of “teasing” God, in an endearing sort of way that says ‘hey God, look how not gay we are.’
One must wonder if Peter spent the same amount of energy he spends on damning the homos on humanatarian efforts, we could feed all of the starving children in Africa.
I, again will challenge Peter LaBarbera. What is the end game you are working for? What does the world look like when you reach the goal you are striving to meet?
Joe, it’s sad to say, but you’ll find your answer here:
THE PSYCHOPATH – The Mask of Sanity
Think about it, it’s the one’s who have no conscience that naturally rise to the top – they are incapable of feeling guilt.
“Mr. Leather??”
Is that anything like “Mr. Coffee?”
Yes, just think of it as being like Mr. Coffee, only much more interesting and fun.
And the fact that it causes Mr. LaBarbera so much angst is just gravy.
I guess we could call it Mr. Gravy, but that would be a little misleading……
Or it could easily be Mr. Skin, but I seriously doubt Mr. LaBarbera would be leading the call to ban any heterosexual websites with that name anytime soon.
Or Mr. Rainbow? He must be grimacing in pain with every sight of it. Any takers on him blaming the ‘homosexual agenda’ on mother nature?
A bit off topic, but the new Southern Baptist President “Dr.” Johnny Hunt’s degrees seem have come from diploma mills.

Undoubtedly he will play a rôle in the November referrendum so he needs to be outed.
