Watch the clip. It makes me sick!! These sick bastards promote hate and intolerance while secretly being closeted gays themselves. I always have people ask me "Jeran, do you suppose these people that lobby so hard against you are actually gay themselves?" My response is, "some are, most definitely!!" These SOB's should be held accountable for their actions. WYWATCH is the kind of group that makes people feel like suicide is a better option than coming out!
I've lived in the closet for most of my adult life, and it is no way to live! It is a miserable existence and I understand how people feel they simple can't live a lie anymore and feel that suicide is the only option. How can we not classify groups like Family Research Council, NARTH, and WYWATCH as hate groups?? Look at what they are doing to people!
I would suspect WYWATCH is full of members just like George Rekers. Take a look;
I have no interest in outing people who do not wish to be outed, but if you are an outspoken hater and get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, I will be waiting to expose you for what you are!

Jeran,
ReplyDeleteI marveled at this story and truly empathize with the family.
I believe there is an obvious agenda driving this story, as is often the case behind stories like this. In this post, should you decide to read it, I will demonstrate that I’m neither alone nor is it only those who share my particular worldview who are capable of seeing through the media bias spin given this story while ignoring others.
I’m posting an editorial opinion article authored by long time cultural and political blogger Sandra Rose. Sandra Rose herself is gay and eloquently exposes the Kirk Murphy story for exactly what it is; “the media’s new poster child”.

Siblings say UCLA’s anti-’sissy’ therapy caused their brother’s suicide 33 years

The gay media has a new poster child to generate sympathy for their cause and to further their agenda of promoting gay acceptance.
His name Kirk Murphy, and he was a successful accountant until he hanged himself in 2003 at age 38.
Normally when a person commits suicide, it is usually due to depression and despair that has been undiagnosed or untreated for years.
But nowadays when a gay person commits suicide, the media latches on to the story and repackages it to push their gay social acceptance agenda, as if depression had nothing to do with it. Just this week, a former Duke University and Chicago Bulls basketball star leaped from the roof of the NY athletic club and plunged to his death.
His name was Tom Emma, 49, and he was not gay that we know of. So the media handled his death differently. A few paragraphs into an article reporting his death comes the words: “Sources told the Daily News that Emma had been depressed.”
Nowhere in the reports on Kirk Murphy’s suicide do you see the words “depressed”or “depression.” Why? Because it doesn’t fit the gay media agenda.
Even though he died in 2003, Mr. Murphy’s family knew that all they had to do was mention the words “anti-gay” and “suicide” in the same sentence and his story would make headlines all over the country.
Kirk Murphy was an effeminate boy who preferred playing with girls toys and dressing in girls clothing. So, when he was 5, his mother took him to a government-funded program at UCLA to try to cure his effeminate behavior. Dr George Rekers, who founded the program, was an anti-gay activist who was outed by a Miami newspaper last year when he was spotted at the Miami airport with a gay male escort whom he had hired to travel with him.
Mr. Murphy’s siblings blames Dr. Rekers and the UCLA program for their brother’s suicide, even though he took his life 33 years after the therapy.
According to London tabloid the Daily Mail, “Kirk’s family believe the therapy directly contributed to his death, and say he was never the same again after the sessions to get rid of his ‘sissy’ characteristics, which included instructing his father to beat him for feminine traits.”
CNN’s Anderson Cooper, who is himself gay, interviewed Murphy’s sister Maris and brother Mark for his 360 show on CNN last night. Maris, who was nine months old at the time and couldn’t possibly remember anything, told Cooper that the therapy her brother received left him “just totally stricken with the belief that he was broken, that he was different from everybody else.”
Well, he was different from everybody else. He was different in the sense that other boys don’t normally play with girls toys or wear dresses. But don’t let Anderson Cooper tell it.
And therein lies the essence of the gay media agenda: to gain sympathy to change laws that grants gays inalienable rights, such as teaching school children that homosexuality is normal.
The national media has a responsibility to promote the fact that homosexuality is not an illness or a handicap. Homosexuality will not be normal until 2 men can make each other pregnant. We are different and we should embrace our differences.
End article.
Thanks again for the great post Jeran!
Marc
There are so many it's tough to keep track. This could be a full-time job! Thanks for your efforts, Jeran.
ReplyDeleteMarc, the opinion of one blogger who happens to coincide with your own does not make any sort of a convincing argument. It's circumstantial evidence at best, hearsay at the very least. Sandra Rose is entitled to her opinion, as are you, but your being in agreement with her doesn't make for any greater, convincing truth beyond the fact that you both agree. Try again.
ReplyDeleteMarc's entire post, complaining about media coverage and then using his accusations about the media's intentions - free of evidence for those alleged intentions - to attempt to convince people to be sour toward the victims of tragedy and look for hidden motives, never once addresses the actual tragedy that took place and the dehumanization of the boy who was subjected to this ill-informed "treatment" program. He also points to one other suicide that he feels didn't get enough media attention --- which is it? Is media attention a valuable thing that is to be desired, or not, Marc?
ReplyDeleteHonestly his whole unwelcome and disingenuous post reminds me of a passage from Donald Barthelme's "Snow White" in which a character receives a letter in the mail beginning with, "I have selected you at random from the telephone directory in an effort to enmesh you in my concerns."
