Homophobia has flourished in the Bush era, both as a potent political tool — many people believe George Bush would have lost Ohio in 2004, and thus a second term, if Karl Rove hadn’t made sure there was an anti-gay initiative on the state ballot — and as an industry unto itself. In just one year, the top 10 Christianist groups that promote homophobia raised over $400 million in tax-free dollars:
Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN)
Founder, CEO and Director: Pat Robertson
2004 Revenue: $186,482,060
Focus on the Family
Founder and chairman: Dr. James C. Dobson
2005 Revenue: $137,848,520
Coral Ridge Ministries
Founder and President: Rev. D. James Kennedy
2005 Revenue: $39,253,882
Alliance Defense Fund (ADF)
President, CEO and General Counsel: Alan Sears
2004 Revenue: $17,921,146
American Family Association (AFA)
Founder and Chairman: The Rev. Donald Wildmon
2005 Revenue: $17,595,352
American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ)
Founder and President: Pat Robertson, Chief Counsel: Jay Sekulow
2005 Revenue: $14,485,514
Family Research Council (FRC)
Founder: James C. Dobson, President and CEO: Tony Perkins
2005 Revenue: $9,958,115
Jerry Falwell Ministries
Founder and Director: Jerry Falwell (deceased)
2005 Revenue: $8,950,480
Concerned Women for America (CWA)
Founders: Tim and Beverly LaHaye
2005 Revenue: $8,484,108
Traditional Values Coalition (TVC)
Founder and Chairman: The Rev. Louis P. Sheldon
2005 Revenue: $6,389,448
All of these groups use homophobia as a fundraising tool, but while some address a wide range of social issues, four of them — Focus on the Family, AFA, FRC, TVC — are one-trick ponies that focus all or most of their activities on promoting homophobia. (The late Falwell and CWA arguably could belong to this group too.) These four groups raised $169 million of the revenue in 2005.
If fundraising for these four hate groups remains flat each year from 2005 through the end of 2007, they will have raised about $500 million among them in three years.
Never in my life have I felt so eternally sick than I do at this very moment. Nothing has changed in this world! It’s all poorly covered up! There are companies in AMERICA who are profiting off of HATE! That’s right HATE! First they did it to the Indians, then the Africans, Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican’s, Iraqi’s, Afghani’s and now the Homo’s.
These people are rapists, and i'm sure closeted Homos who are addicted to drugs and probably abuse their children. You know why I say this because their hateful tirades always result in absurd excuses for hate like my personal favorite “The gays want to get married whats next, marrying an animal?” Gee, well you have men, and I use that term loosely, who have sex and marry small children. Men who think its their rights too marry children. You have clergy men abusing small children, you have parents who have sex with their own small children. Lets worry about these motherfuckers first and then deal with Homo’s wanting to marry.
And let me just set this animal loving reason these fuckers give straight. No sane person would ever come out in public and say, “I want the right to marry my goat.” Come on now…
Mark my words people, i'm just waiting for my time, but i garantee one day, one revolutionary day, i will destroy these mother fuckers, and Equal Rights will Finally have a TRUE meaning
