I wish I could say that I weren't shocked by the blatant hate exhibited on a website that was designed by spouting off Christian beliefs and ideals, but I am. I really really am shocked. It's utterly amazing to me that these people are actively fighting against organizations like Girl Scouts of America simply because they accepted a transgendered girl into their fold. First of all, bravo to GSA for making a decision that will go to help future girls with the same problems. Second, it's obvious to me that these women have perfect children, with no birth issues, coping issues or physical issues that require a little understanding. Either that or each and every one of these women have severe difficulties with reality and medication control.
Transgender and hermaphroditic children are not a product of a Godless family, a lack of prayer, or any other religious affiliation. It is Biology. And the more quickly that we can assist these children in learning to be who they are, not be ashamed, and not have to deal with the hatred brought on by holier-than-thou (literally) Christian...assholes. Believe me, their lives are going to be hard enough without adding to it.
Now don't get me wrong, I think that their idea to send letters to companies who are supporting teenage and children programming that involve a high amount of sexual or inappropriate content should be applauded. Keeping children children until they are no longer children should be the goal of every good parent, in my opinion. I, also, am all about having good Christian values. But my idea of good Christian values does NOT involve acts of hate for those who do NOT share those values. That, in point of fact, makes you a horrible Christian. That kind of hatred perpetuates hate crimes that go beyond words. That kind of hatred is contagious. It justifies your children growing up with hatred, instead of light.
I am not a mother. But I believe I can honestly say that my convictions and ideals about how human beings should treat each other, no matter how they personally believe, will not change should my becoming a mother ever become a reality.
To date, One Million Moms has taken issue with the following:
Polyamorous relationships
Gay rights
Girl Scouts of America (citing GSA's promotion of lesbianism)
Old Navy (for going gay)
Family Guy (which I sort of get from a mother's standpoint, but it's funny)
Disney (for allowing Gay Day to happen in their park)
Oprah (really?? For interviewing Jenna Jameson)
Armani Exchange (for the audacity to occasionally show models that are same-sex)
7-Eleven (for carrying the Playboy issue in which Marge Simpson posed....*blink*)
Avon
Home Depot
CBS
Good Morning America
...
And the list gone on...and on...and on.. What probably upsets me more than the random acts of pure unadulterated hatred is the fact that at the cool mention from a few zealots, many of the companies that they are so venomously bashing and harassing, are removing support and ad space from these issues.
Well, I think it's time to stand up for the other side. I would like to support the right to remove One Million Moms because it is doing nothing more than offending my very nature with its prejudice and hatred. I think we should all stand and take action now! Boycott them, their ideals and their lives. I also thing that we should remind them of the Joy part about the Christianity thing. Because coming from them, it sounds like a profanity. Oh....and I sincerely recommend therapy for the head "moms" for believe the way that they do. :)
