What Is Blogging For Truth?

For over 30 years there have been organizations dedicated to spreading lies and false studies about our lives, our loves and our persons.

It's time to stop listening to and believing them.

Let's tell the world our truths and stand up to speak for ourselves instead.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself. ~Harvey Fierstein

Dear LLnL, In answer to your comment, here is the scoop on Blogging For Truth, May 25-31, 2009:
During the week of May 25th through the 31st, all you have to do is write one, or more articles using information that shows how untruthful the Anti Gay industry is in their efforts to deny LGBTQ people their rights, such as, but not exclusively, marriage protections or protection under the hate crimes laws. As well as to offer personal stories as to how we are affected by the hate filled rhetoric of these organizations.

The Anti Gay Industry is real, they receive their donations (and their salaries) by spreading lies and fear about the LGBTQ community (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transgender and Queer) The idea is that they have had 30+ years relatively unchallenged, instilling false facts into the American public's mind. They have almost exclusively used the widely debunked "science" of a Mr. Paul Cameron, if you click on his name, you can find the Wikipedia page on this man.
Additional resources can be found at Facts About Homosexuality and Child Molestation on Paul Cameron's claims.

My motivation in this? I have always had a deep seated belief, that humans deserve to be treated with dignity and respect even when sides disagree. I believe that even if you are .001% of the population in the United States, or anywhere else in the world, you deserve every human right afforded to you by simply being born. The only way these rights can be taken from you is if you voluntarily give them up by committing a crime against another human being.
My hope is that if we can get enough bloggers, blogging more facts, pointing out the hypocrisy of these groups, then maybe more people will question what they say, and think about the human rights aspect of things like "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" the Defense of Marriage Act, the anti-marriage amendments, and the anti adoption amendments.

The couple of quotes on the left show the real agenda of the Anti-Gay Industry. It isn't to protect your children, it isn't even because the Bible tells them homosexuality deserves death, although a number of those in the Anti-Gay Industry have called for just that. Most wish, like Mr. Card says that LGBTQ would just go back into the closet, mostly to stop making them uncomfortable. Some, like Mr. Dobson would like to have homosexuality re-criminalized so that we may be sentenced to "Ex-Gay" camps such as Exodus, or once more subjected to elecro-shock treatments to "cure" us.

As quoted from Religious Tolerance: "A study in 2001 found that Only 34% of born again Christians favored legalization of same-sex activities. Most feel that sexually active homosexuals should be imprisoned. We suspect that approximately the same percentage of conservatives from other religions -- Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, etc. -- would probably agree."

  1. Thank you so much for this post. I did not understand that the Anti Gay Industry was a real thing. That's troubling but I love your approach. I hate the phrase fight with fire; ignorance should be fought with education. I planned to read up LGBTQ to gain some more knowledge but I think I have a lot to say on this. I just don't know where to start.
