Christian lunatics hold homophobic rally outside parliament.

“Let him without sin cast the first stone” said Jesus to the unruly mob to quell their bloodlust and stop them from murdering an innocent woman. Unfortunately this part of the Bible seems to have been misplaced by the hypocrites standing outside Parliament on Tuesday night. The reason for this thousand strong demo? The House of Lords are debating a law that will give gay people the same rights as everyone else. This it seems is too much for Britain’s fast growing Christian Right. The law will make it illegal (for example) to refuse a hotel room to a gay couple. Or to refuse a job interview to a gay man or woman based on their sexuality. Many years ago a similar law was introduced to stop black people being discriminated against. This has clearly been forgotten by half the nutters present tonight.

See above for caption...

I thought Mary Whitehouse was dead?

"Praise the Lord for Guantanimo and George Bush"

The counter demo arrives...

..and swings into action.

Go girl!

"Sorry miss, it's free speech for homophobes only tonight"

"No sir SOCPA bans all rational debate with Christians"

So who will lead these lost sheep in their hour of need?

Who will provide them with spiritual guidance and moral fortitude?

Stupid question really....

"rant...rave...no gays...no surrender...free Micheal Stone...ect"

"We love you reverend Paisley and your loyalist death squads"

"We're going to heaven along with Hitler, Mugabe and all the other gay haters"

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t Christians believe in an all-powerful being in whose eyes we are all equal? Is this being not the supreme judge? If this is the case then who the fuck gave these moronic sheep the power to pass judgment on others over whom they choose to sleep with?? These bigoted fuckwits make the BNP look progressive…

Star attraction for the unruly mob is arch sponsor of loyalist terrorism the reverend Ian Paisley. After whipping the assembled scum into a homophobic frenzy he then gives a speech to the media. A speech which is pretty much illegal under the recent religious hatred law. Fortunately for Ian he is a loyal servant of the queen and not a Muslim or Republican Catholic or other undesirable for Britain’s ruling class. While we are on the subject this demo was billed as a multi faith affair? I can count the Muslims (who have been placed at the front for the benefit of the media) on one hand. Yet if our tabloid press are to be believed it is those narrow minded, bigoted followers of Islam that threaten our freedom to do what we like? So where are they? If this demo had contained 1,000 Islamic loonies and 4 Christians the media would be here in force. But Christians are not being bombed for sitting on the world’s oil reserves so their fascism just isn’t worth reporting…

Credit certainly goes to the gay activists who showed up to oppose the demo and argue with bible bashers. Although outnumbered by over 100-1 they gave a very good account of themselves and succeeded in infuriating both the Christian militia and the cops who were trying to control them. They stood their ground till the very end when the Lords voted to pass the law and all the Hymn singing mysteriously stopped.

It has recently come to light that George Bush and Tony Blair regularly pray (or is that prey) together whenever they meet. Bin Laden also believes that he is appointed by God to do his bidding using violence if necessary. So what’s the difference??
