Obscene and vulgar phone calls and emails from homosexual activists to organizers of Day of Silence Walkout
So much for "tolerance" -- see below . . .
POSTED: April 13, 2010
Last Thursday, April 8, two of the Day of Silence Walkout Coalition coordinatiors, Laurie Higgins and Linda Harvey, sent out a press release about the Day of Silence Walkout. The press release which was sent out included their phone numbers and emails so the media could contact them. It was a fairly normal press release – but unfortunately nothing is normal when it comes to this subject matter.
Within hours they began receiving the most obscene and disgusting emails and phone calls you could imagine, and it lasted for several days. If you want to know what that movement is all about under the covers, look no further. These are the people want to be in your schools teaching your children.
Below is just some of what they received:
CAUTION: MANY OF THESE ARE VERY OBSCENE AND VULGAR!
Phone messages (1 min 44 sec):
Excerpts from emails sent to them:
You sick cunt, you are just bitter because your own husband is cheating on
you like every straight man in the world does.
I hope you die of cancer...but rest assured, I do not mean that in a bigoted
way, or a violent way, or a discriminatory way. just like you freaks always say.
Dieter
Twin Vipers of Evil,
Homosexuality is a beautiful gift from God that people are born with. To deny
such is disbelieve facts which makes you an ignorant and stupid person. And to
tell people that disapproval and violence towards gay people is OK is wrong. I
hope you stupid fucks get sued.

What is unacceptable and outrageous is that you are teaching and promoting
bigotry and hate.
It's long, long past the time that your kind retired quietly to the shadows with
the rest of the evildoers on this planet who, like you, promote violence,
discrimination, bigotry, homophobia, separatism, and hate in the name of your
personal gods.
All the hate. Jesus would be so proud of you.
Thankfully ignorant people who think like you are aging and dying out. By the
way, F U C K YOU TOO.
You're endorsing bullying and harrassment?
How Christian of you.
you "christians" shove your agenda down the throats of every American, in
schools, TV and censorship. Your religious "morals" are your personal choice,
based on what you THINK "God" does or does not want. I am gay, and a very
"moral" person.....just depends on who's defining the word "moral" now doesn't
it. Affirm your own beliefs in your church or at your home but don't demonize me
in public its not "nice" and not very "Christian" of you.
So much for loving they fellow man. Oh, but that only goes for those who
follow and believe the vile crap you spew. Humankind's future is screwed if
everyone gets to be as hateful as you people are.
Why don't you just tell people to throw stones or burn people at the stake while
you are at it?
Yeah, I realize that this is a hateful email, but at least it is direct and I am
not trying to brainwash people. Gordon Lindert
when people like you sin, it's because you hate, it's because you lie about
things that have nothing to do with you, it's because you place yourselves on
higher platforms and judge others, as if you ever had that authority.
Don't be surprised when Judgement Day comes and you find yourself in a place you
didn't expect.
Faith based bigotry is among the worst and most evil kind because believers
like you, using nothing but your faith, feel entitled to preach your beliefs as
if they are true even when proven other wise. 150 year ago you would have been
taking a stand in favor of slavery, using your faith as an example. If you doubt
that, ask yourself who would those people be today? Where would they be in our
society? What would their causes be today? History has shown bigots rely on
faith to justify their evilness. Your maker will not ask you who you loved, but
who you hated. And that answer will seal your fate.

1) You deserve to be shut down cause what you say is evil. It is not
congratulatory for an adult woman to be for no name calling. You are an
oppressor and worse in deep denial.
2) Your morality is your own delusional sense of superiority.
3) A habit is behavior. You feel behavior is a result of morality. Read your own
ignorant filth on sexual orientation and morality you are attempting to use as
justification for discrimination.
4) Keeping children uninformed of the diversity around them is diminishing and
you have no problem denying gay children equality that you would demand for
straight youth. For that you can burn slowly in your self described hell. Ask
yourself if you would willingly support a gay child bringing the same gender as
their date to a prom. Then shove your silly gameplaying up your ass.
5)Gay people tolerate you, not the other way around. Accept or don't accept. I
don't care if you remain ignorant. Your agenda is what will be defeated. You can
live in a black hole forever for all i care. Your thinking is already contained
there. Bullying LGBTQ people is a fact. Stop being evasive.
I wonder in this day and age how someone could possibly be so bigoted and
hateful as you.
I am sure you call yourself a Christian. But my God, indeed any God, would find
your lack of compassion and outright stupidity to be shameful.
LGBT youth in our schools are at higher risk for bullying (both verbal and
physical), for queer bashing, and for violence. Why? Because we have
'christians' in the media telling impressionable youth that LGBT youth are
lesser than, are going to hell, are predators, are 'sinners', and are engaging
in 'immoral' and 'unethical' behaviors. You and other 'christians' like you are
responsible for the filth you put out. People like you, who spew hateful and
unprovoked speech towards other who are different from you, are destructive to
not only yourselves, your family, your friends but also to society at large. I
am amazed but not surprised that you feel no shame in openly inciting others to
bully and harass LGBT youth, it seems to me that you are lacking something in
the way of basic human dignity, integrity, and empathy. Perhaps you should focus
on your own shortcomings before you try to guide our youth in their development
as members of our society. I hope your children have other adults in their lives
that may provide a better model of what a loving christian looks and acts like.

You are a very hateful woman. I'm sorry that you think you are worthy of
being listened to.
Did you not learn your lesson from Hemant Mehta?

math teacher in the Chicago suburbs who has a blog called "The Friendly
Atheist."]

I have gay relatives as well as gay friends and your hateful words toward an
entire group of people is a disgrace.
Thankfully ignorant people who think like you are aging and dying out. By the
way, F U C K YOU TOO.
Where did you get the idea that you're in a position to call me immoral?
The bible? The book that is proven to be filled with ridiculous contradictions and crap? This ridiculous book that was written by men for the purpose of controlling people and STILL used for the same purpose?
This book gives YOU the right to judge me?
Lady, I had a near death experience when I was 22 years old. It was made clear to ME that I needed to come out and live my life proud of who I am. That God made me the way I am for a reason. That I may never understand, but I am okay. It was made clear to me that living any other way was out of the question.
But you think you're in a position to judge me?
I have met my maker and been judged. You do NOT know what you're talking about. The only judgement you should be passing is on your own pathetic inability to love everything God made. Including homosexuals!
What makes you think I don't love and hurt and everything else every other human being feels?
If you asked me, you're the disease.
Your hatred is misdirected. Your heart is a stone. Your mind is a steel trap.
You have no more connection to a living God than any of your counterparts.
You're church people rape children and spew hatred and intolerance.
You're the sick ones lady. You really need your head examined.
Scott Bailey
Putting down people for who and what they innately are is hate and if you
cannot figure that out then you are one dumb idiotic human being worthy of being
called a bitch. Gay people and those that love and accept them as equals are not
the least bit interested in what some ignorant troll like you dictates as moral.
If you feel sexual orientation is a habit then you are the one in need of
getting into a classroom to educate yourself. Social and political action has
been in school classrooms for decades. Get a new cue card. What you really mean
is you simply do not like what you don't approve of and for that you are a
stupid woman. There are gay children in the school system throughout this world
and you will not have the last word on the feelings of security and rights they
are entitled to. Much bullying is a direct result of homophobia and
transgendered issues as well as prejudice, racism etc. and addressing those
issue head on is the only way to combat the subject. Gay people also subsidize
public education you filthy rotten minded fool and no one is seeking your
acceptance. Your ignorance will be defeated because no one is going to allow you
to spread your hate. Go back into the dark ages. You are completely out of your
mind.

Shame on you. Jesus was about love. You seem to have forgotten that.

You are all disgusting hate mongers. Do you really thing God has a place in
heaven for the people who put this trash out there?
From L M faerylark@yahoo.com
Explain to your children why you're taking a stand:
a. Your parents are bigots
b. No matter what evidence is presented to the contrary, your parents will cling
to their bigoted opinions
c. Your parents hate blacks and Mexicans, too. We just can't be honest about
that these days.
d. Homophobia is not equal to racism because it is harder for your parents to
make money by spreading racism.
e. Your parents think they know more about what you should be taught in school
even though they have no qualifications.
f. Your parents think that basic human rights are a political issue and should
be up for debate.
Sincerely,
Stuart Weddell

To: Linda Harvey and Laurie Higgins,
A. If homosexuality is not an innate trait, than neither is heterosexuality...
If you expect me to suppress my natural inclinations, I say, "You first."
B. No loving relationship is immoral, and I laugh at the idea of even wanting to
resist it. It brings me happiness and enriches my life.
C. No it is not equivalent to race, neither though is religion.
D. I completely disagree. LGBT youth in our schools are at higher risk for
bullying (both verbal and physical), for queer bashing, and for violence. Why?
Because we have 'christians' in the media telling impressionable youth that LGBT
youth are lesser than, are going to hell, are predators, are 'sinners', and are
engaging in 'immoral' and 'unethical' behaviors. You and other 'christians' like
you are responsible for the filth you put out.
E. Every school, especially every public school, has a responsibility to provide
every student a safe and harassment free space in which to learn, grow, and
develop as an individual. LGBT people are not physically, emotionally, or
spiritually destructive to individuals or society. People like you, who spew
hateful and unprovoked speech towards other who are different from you, are
destructive to not only yourselves, your family, your friends but also to
society at large. I am amazed but not surprised that you feel no shame in openly
inciting others to bully and harass LGBT youth, it seems to me that you are
lacking something in the way of basic human dignity, integrity, and empathy.
Perhaps you should focus on your own shortcomings before you try to guide our
youth in their development as members of our society. I hope your children have
other adults in their lives that may provide a better model of what a loving
christian looks and acts like.
F. Standing up for yourself (yes, even when you are a 'homosexual' youth) is
free speech, and so we are entitled to it via the US constitution.
Sincerely and in complete opposition,

Dear Vipers,
Your hatred knows no bounds. Since there are no gods and goddesses your entire
position concerning my life and those of LGBT teens is untenable. Keep your
perverse "morals" out of my tax paying schools. You are bigots and haters of the
highest degree and deserve no respect.
a. "christianist" behavior is not an innate identity.
b. No matter what factors may influence "christianist" feelings, freely chosen
"christianist" behavior is immoral and should be resisted.
c. "christianity" is not equivalent to race.
d. Disapproval of "christianity" is not equivalent to racism; nor is it hatred;
nor is it bullying; nor does it constitute an incitement to violence. It is
permissible and ethical to express disapproval of "christianity". Just because
someone may feel bad when hearing that someone disapproves of "christianist"
behaviour does not mean that disapproval is cruel or wrong.
e. No school should support a view of "christianity" that is unproven and
controversial, and that is physically, emotionally, and spiritually destructive
to individuals and society.
f. No school should allow instructional time to be proselytized.

I saw your document to parents to help them deal with removing their children
from schools that participate in the Day of Silence.
Regardless about how you feel about gay people, this document makes it clear
that you support anti-gay bullying and harassment, because that;s what the Day
of Silence is about,
Apparently you think this is OK.
It's not.
This is as big a definition of hate that I can think of- that some children
aren't worth as much as others, that maybe they even deserve what happens to
them just because they are different, or don;t line up with the tenets of
Christianist mythology.
I delight in the fact that the Day of Silence, in which the students aren't
really doing ANYTHING drives you guys nuts.
Thanks for your attention.

Your intolerance saddens me. Why are you so afraid of other people? Perhaps
you'd like to become a fully fledged Nazi and kill anyone you feel uncomfortable
with.
Fascists.
From Cat Keller <zhyzathn1@gmail.com>
I'm a heterosexual mother of 3 children.
I taught my children what all mothers should - to support others and to look for
the common connection between them and those around them. All living things are
connected.
What is unacceptable and outrageous is that you are teaching and promoting
bigotry and hate.
It's long, long past the time that your kind retired quietly to the shadows with
the rest of the evildoers on this planet who, like you, promote violence,
discrimination, bigotry, homophobia, separatism, and hate in the name of your
personal gods.
Now here is how your missive would read by replacing just one word.
Do you think this is right? Is this what we should be teaching the children?
Separatism? Bigotry? If this offends you - I might remind you that YOU wrote it.
I changed only the one word identifying the group YOU hate for the group you
identify with.
Shame on you. Shame on all of you.
From Paul James <bearishfun@live.com>
a. Homosexual behavior is not an innate identity. Says who? Have you asked a
homosexual?
b. No matter what factors may influence homosexual feelings, freely chosen
homosexual behavior is immoral and should be resisted. Opinion, not fact.
c. Homosexuality is not equivalent to race. Your point?
d. Disapproval of homosexuality is not equivalent to racism; nor is it hatred;
nor is it bullying; nor does it constitute an incitement to violence. It is
permissible and ethical to express disapproval of homosexuality. Just because
someone may feel bad when hearing that someone disapproves of homosexuality does
not mean that disapproval is cruel or wrong. Agreed, you have every right to
your opinion. It becomes bullying and hatred when you attempt to legislate my
life and stand in the way of my pursuit of happiness.
e. No school should support a view of homosexuality that is unproven and
controversial, and that is physically, emotionally, and spiritually destructive
to individuals and society. No school should support a religiously based view
that is unproven and controversial, and that is physically and emotionally
destructive to gay individuals, their parents, children, and loved ones.
f. No school should allow instructional time to be politicized. Or religiousized
either!
And look, I can use the bible to support my opinion about you.
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them
to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is
a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35)
Corinthians 14:34 The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not
permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.
From Russ Hemphill <russ.hemphill@gmail.com>
Many thanks for your efforts to organize a walkout of the Day of Silence.
Through this action, it becomes very clear to those who actually attend school
on the Day of Silence who their allies are. . .and who is actually living with
bigots and intolerant folk. But many thanks and kudos.
With your push to pull young folk out of school you generate more opportunities
for those peers to actually consider the actual intolerance placed on youth and
how it affects not only young people, but their dedicated teachers and mentors.
Your actions create more opportunities for families to discuss the challenges
faced by today's youth.
I strongly encourage you to continue your efforts to boycott the DAY of Silence
for it brings a face to the intolerant, misinformed and confused. KUDOS

You're endorsing bullying and harrassment?
How Christian of you.
At a time when our country is driven apart with hate anger and derisiveness.
We have non-christian wingnuts like you making it worse. You have no clue as the
meaning Christianity or the teachings of Christ. You are promoting hate fear and
bigotry. People like are rotting inside with anger and fear. You are poison to
our society.
There now see how like it.
