According to Pinknews, the National Front, an extremist right wing group, is responsible for placing a number of homophobic stickers in the gay village of Manchester, England. They read “The National Front Homosexuality equals AIDS. The queer plague.” A phone number appears on the bottom, and when dialled, informs the caller on membership in the organization. Citizens in the area had been removing the offensive stickers until a formal complaint was made to police on Monday. The National Front organized a counter protest at the 2009 London Pride, and a message on its website states that “gay bars will be closed, soaps will have their gay story lines removed and public displays of homosexuality, lesbianism and transgenderism will also be made illegal.”
The Guardian and another report on the now well documented connection between the proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill before Ugandan parliament and the undue influence of American evangelical Christians, who, attending a conference in South African country, promised to “wipe out” homosexuals, and by extension, homosexuality, and whose ideas the Bill’s prime sponsor, David Bahati, parrots. Particularly disturbing is the involvement of the rather repugnant trio comprised of Scott Lively, Don Schmierer, and Caleb Lee Brundidge, all anti-gay extremists.
The New York Times and yet another article exposing Frank Shubert, and his Sacramento, California company Shubert Flint Public Affairs, whose work helped both pass Proposition 8 and the Yes On 1 campaign that repealed the right of gay men and women in Maine to marry.
