Anti-gay students wear Confederate flag to express opposition to LGBT

These are the articles.

This link has a video with a student wearing a Confederate flag.

"They were using the 'F' slur and they were saying that if the gays get to wear the rainbow flag, then they should get to wear the Confederate flag, because it represents their heritage," one student said.

"It also has become something that symbolizes anti-gay at our school," said student Gaia Hendrix-Petry as she and other students walked in to district offices to get a meeting with the superintendent.

This article is a good summary and has links to the other articles.

The argument that this is a misuse of the Confederate flag is nonsense. The Sons of Confederate Veterans has made it clear that they see Confederate heritage as homophobia.

"Pernicious: The Neo-Confederate Campaign against Social Justice" published. Has extensive documentation of neo-Confederate homophobia.

It is available in paperback and Kindle at www.amazon.com. You can go to my author link above and see the link to the book.

The book has an extensive section on the homophobia and sexism of the neo-Confederates.

You can read how the Chaplain-in-Chiefs of the Sons of Confederate Veterans use terms like sodomy.

League of the South protests gay pride day in Arkansas

This is the online news story

If the League of the South would do more of these protests it would help end neo-Confederacy by making it clear to more people what Confederate "heritage" is really about.

Joseph Farah proposes secession over gay marriage.

WORLD NEWS DAILY CEO CALLS FOR SECESSION OVER GAY MARRIAGE

http://www.wnd.com/2015/06/does-same-sex-marriage-warrant-secession/

I can't say that secession has become mainstream in conservative politics, since among conservatives WND is seen as being crazy, but WND does have some following and it shows the creeping acceptance of secession into conservative politics.

There are left-wing secessionists also. When a person calls for secession I don't think they can at the same time claim to be patriotic.

Kirkpatrick Sales, secessionist has anti-LGBT editorial.

KIRKPATRICK SALE ANTI-GAY EDITORIAL

Kirkpatrick Sale, secessionist who works with the neo-Confederates, had an anti-gay editorial published in the "Charleston Post-Courier."

Incidentally if you are wondering why gay rights have gained such wide support even though gays are about 3% of the population the answer is simple.

One of the primary and core ideas of the gay liberation movement was to get gays and Lesbians to be out of the closet. A slogan at gay marches was "Out of the Closet and Into the Streets."

As a result Gay people have parents, siblings, relatives, friends, co-workers, neighbors, associates, who know that they are gay and they usually want to see that gay people are treated fairly.  When you consider all these people as a percentage of the population is is substantial.

Also, a lot of people who don't know any gays don't see the value in being a bigoted jerk.

Kirkpatrick's article is particularly crazed.

League of the South holds rally in Richmond against Same-sex marriage

The League of the South, a neo-Confederate organization held a rally against same-sex marriage. The following is a link to a news story on the protest.

http://www.wric.com/story/25172430/league-of-the-south-rallies-against-same-sex-marriage-lgbtq-group-responds

There are a lot of silly gay and Lesbian people in the South who mentally have never left the plantation and love the movie "Gone With The Wind," and basically have bought into the Lost Cause understanding of the Civil War. With this protest by the League of the South the LGBT community will see what the Lost Cause is about. Those who continue to cling to the Lost Cause will be seen as ridiculous and undermining the well being of the gay community.

From the story:

Two 11th-grade students at Tahoma High School were suspended for wearing Confederate flags to school. A school district spokesperson said the two juniors brought the flags to school on Tuesday to make an anti-gay statement. Chad Blenz saw a student wearing a Confederate flag around his neck as Blenz went to class on Tuesday.

Sons of Confederate Veterans hysterically upset over gay rights

The Sons of Confederate Veterans is hysterically upset over gay rights.

and search the pdf for Sodom.

From an article in the newsletter:

In 1996 Robert H. Bork wrote a book entitled Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline. This volume dealt with the decline of the American culture and how the nation is in some serious moral trouble with the foundations thereof crumbling. In one of the concluding paragraphs the honorable Bork confesses, “It is pointless to ask, ‘What is the solution?’ There is no single grand strategy…. Religion must be recaptured church by church; and education, university by university, school board by school board. Bureaucracies must be tamed.” Now we have become Gomorrah’s cesspool. 2013 has brought a torrent of events sweeping the country into the clutches of those who have made the country into a mirror image of Sodom and Gomorrah. Now who is going to write Becoming Gomorrah: America Embraces the Perversions of Sodom and Gomorrah? Perhaps one needs to read Genesis 18 and 19.

Is your soul vexed over the events occurring around you and especially the direction this nation has now taken as she has become a modern form of Sodom and Gomorrah? The word “vexed” means a soul tormented or extremely troubled. Was your soul vexed over the latest Supreme Court ruling or the Boy Scout vote to include homosexuals? If you said yes my soul is vexed! You have something in common with Abraham’s nephew Lot for that was his case in Sodom.

The Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV) is really about hysteria like this. Actually this is one of the tamer sections of the essay.

As you might imagine SCV members don't listen to Lady Gaga or Madonna.
