• Homosexual Pedophilia causes suicide amongst gays? Robert Charles Best, 70, homosexual pedophile teacher has admitted 27 indecent assaults on 11 boys who attended schools at which he taught. Many more people were damaged other than those whose names have appeared on the charge sheets. Among them are 26 suicides, victims who were assaulted as boys by Best.

He was found guilty of committing 24 offences against a 15yo male and a further 18 charges of buggery/indecent assault involving 3 boys as young as 9. The court heard that McIntosh would befriend the boys, buying them drinks and cigarettes and inviting them to his property. where he brutally raped and assault them, flogging them and often threatening to ''blow up'' their families.

A man from Cornwall has won damages from a "predatory paedophile" whom police fear may have abused thousands of boys over a 35-year period. Millionaire businessman William Goad, 66, from Plymouth, was jailed for life in 2004 for a string of sexual offences against boys stretching over decades. Ray Zolla was a teenager when Goad assaulted him over a period of about 18 months in the 1970s. Mr Zolla's lawyer said her client had been awarded a six-figure sum. BBC news 3 December 2010

I turned away from organized religion because I couldn't stand the hateful homophobia associated with it, the Traditional Values Coalition is just another example of how fucked up religious fanatics really are.

[hoosierhiver]

dishonest and dumb

[KentonForshee]

Clearly religious groups will say anything to protect their ability to keep their social engineering projects on track. This is their way of playing damage control.

Thank you for your research, facts and advocacy!

I really hope when gay marriage is legalized, you marry someone and adopt a kid. I don't know why, but you look like you would make a great father. I was just thinking that....

[gumbo319]

I would have been less suicidal if i had two nice gay parents, instead of two hateful christian partents.

[Dustylane2009]

In Oklahoma the churches still have more then their right to practice their religious beliefs. I say more then bc I remember when I was 13 and lived in Duncan, the ppl voted to use tax money (don't know where its from) to build a skate park for the children. They wanted their kids to have something to do besides using drugs. The Baptist Church told the people no that it was going to be used to build a court house. Also several years ago the state give 10mil of tax payers dollars to the churches

[Dustylane2009]

In Oklahoma, Senator Steve Russell, wanted to removed hate crime laws for gays. I believe we only have hate crime laws for some districts and not all of Oklahoma. He wanted to remove these laws and place in hate crime laws for Christians. He tried to say that the churches could be sued for talking against homosexuals. Yet he wanted the churches to have the right to sue anyone to opposed them. I remember reading a comment where one of his HS class mate said hes as insane in school. CONTINUED>>>

[heinzgero]

The Coalition is crap. However, so are hate crime laws. They are crimes of the mind.

[hoodmilk]

Well done.

The statistic that you cite a 3:42 from their website is correct. It looks like they just needed to add "because of bias" after "LBGT individuals".

[shadoworc01]

There is already a simple answer that I came to several years ago: most vocal churches are ignorant, indignant, idiots. why are we bothering to acknowledge them with their lies if it doesn't change laws. To quote a anonymous writer: Jesus hated the gays, and that means they're illegal. That's what separation of church and state means, right?' if we stop paying attention to them, they go away. simple bully psychology. they want a reaction, so don't give them one.

[kd1s]

Thank you for a thorough debunking of their claims on hate crimes.

I do the same when the National Organization for Marriage says only 36% of RI'ers support marriage equality when I know two other polls say over 60% support it.

Debunked em'.

I already knew TVC was full of $hit. Thanks so much for putting forth the effort to prove it. Keep up the good work!

I just wanted to drop a quick word of encouragement. Wonderful video, I myself am a straight ex-soldier, but have for over a decade supported equality for all people. Its why I served. Please keep up the the good work brother, you have my support!

[brittany1942]

This Video shows Traditional Values are doing lots of good to expose homosexuals for what they are about. You can not stand the truth. It will set you free if you could only see that. The holy book say people believe a lie and are dammed. So sad. You should be call sads instead of gays. What destruction homosexualitiy brings to familys and children. The children are the ones who need protection. Ask forgiveness before it is too late nothing is worth loosing your soul for. Sin is pleasure for a

this video shows what lenths this "sad" little organization will go to to lie.

what a dishonest organization. We need to protect the children against lies and deceit this organization puts out there.

[tiffanilambert]

What a destruction homosexuality brings to families and children?! HA! What a destruction straight people have done to families and children... divorce, child abuse, the list goes on. Good job, straights. What a destruction poor grammar does to your argument. I'm not a Christian and I don't have to follow the rules of your "holy" book. You live your life the way you want and give me the right to live the life I choose.

[OneLittleDeath]

Brittany I have one piece of advice for you - don't drink the koolaid!!!!!. Although judging from that rambling nonsensical drivel you just left, it looks like you already had the whole damn punch bowl.

[Dustylane2009]

@brittany1942 Pick up a book lady! For off MEDICAL SURVEY has shown there is no difference in same-sex parenting compared to straight parents. Also your book is damning a group of people who can't help that fact their gay. Pick up a psychology book and educate yourself on fact. Your Bible is all based on ignorance of ancient man. Homosexuality is cased bad improper hormone levels during the prenatal development of a child. I'm sure your going to deny this bc your lack of logic.

lol, why then, were the people of Alabama forced to abandon their traditional way of life to appease a minority who could have moved North back in the segregation days?

@paulinotou • 1. A study by Abel et al of 377 nonincarcerated, non-incest-related pedophiles, found that heterosexual pedophiles on average reported abusing 19.8 children and committing 23.2 acts, whereas homosexual pedophiles had abused 150.2 children and committed 281.7 acts.

@fruitycunt i think i rather have not had read your comment. im going to have nightmares tonight. i know a couple of gays and i would never see them doing those kinds of things. the ones you are talking about are probaly the ones who have been in jail so long, they just needed to bang someone. uhghghg. need to get that thought out of my head.

[Qt4life6179]

@paulinotou the gene abel evidence fruitycunt used has been discredited. Gene Abel's findings were unable to be replicated, his methods were considered disturbing and cruel, he misrepresented data, and refused to show others his actual data. so don;t worry, fruitycunt uses that as evidence all the time, and its incorrect. i think abel even went so far as to say many gay men that said they werent molested, were, and recorded that without any evidence.

@robtish I am really sorry that you were kiddy fucked and the shame made you faggot. Be assured that I also hate those child molesting bastards and that is why I take the battle to the internet and the streets everyday. If we can stop abuse we can cure homosexuals and then there will be no more kids who have to suffer as you did.

Im black. Our struggle for civil rights was largely inspired by the civil rights struggle in India, led by Ghandi. Nonviolence, community support, we got it from India.

There are zero appreciable 'dangers' of gay marriage being legal. Let them have it.  I do not feel 'insulted'.

Dudes like you helped me to realize that injustice anywhere, is injustice EVERYWHERE. I'll fight for them, in the name of the black gay men who fought for Black Civil Rights.

Thanks.

Please never stop posting. You're a tremendous boon to our side.

[robtish]

I do have goggle eyes, but from training for the AID LIfeCycle, on my bike and wearing sunglasses. And as for dyeing my eyebrows, that's genuinely funny.. You're a perfect specimen of someone who can only see through the lens of his own prejudice and stereotype, even to the point of blinding you to the truth. That's why we call homophobia a mental disorder -- it makes you unable to see reality, and that's a psychological problem.

[robtish]

That's a riot. If you can't see the gray in my hair it's because youtube's compression isn't good with that kind of detail. But your comment is very revealing. How many genuinely straight guys pay that much attention to the color of another man's hair? Be careful--you're revealing more than you intend to.

[tamapalagi]

By the sound of it all crimes agaings glbtg should be hate crimes. That's the same as a white man fighting with a black man and he's claiming genocide. Which he has a right to do. Man what ever happened to regular fighting?

"We're on the right side of good." - I love it!

[gameshowguy2000]

God taught us to "Love thy neighbor as thyself". Apparently anti-gay activists and organizations such as Traditional Values Coalition, Focus on the Family, and American Family Association, etc.; have FORGOTTEN that quote.

[tamapalagi]

There are alot of people that don't like themselves so by your reasoning it's ok to hurt someone if you don't care to get hurt too. Also self love is selfish so that's bullshit too. Love is selfless. There must be a higher definition of love than loving yourself. That is narcissism.

[gameshowguy2000]

So you're telling me you don't believe that quote?

[tamapalagi]

What I mean is our definition of love is somewhat distorted. Alot of bad things are done in the name of love. A better example is love each other as Jesus loves the church. Using christian example but not wanting to offend anyone is tricky.

[tamapalagi]

Off the subject. I think Drew Carey is terrible on THE PRICE IS RIGHT. A better choice would be the guy from PRESS YOUR LUCK. What's his name?

bravo! [standing ovation]

outstanding!

[onondagha]

Many attacks on gays because gay. Need specific protection.

[akabeardman]

and if I am gonna say that, "I AM A CHRISTIAN" I need to live my life as He would.

Jesus, His disciples and the people that left europe for FREEEDOM were being persecuted unto death.

If those people saw that what they came here for was now being used against their brothers and sisters, they would be on every news channel saying WHOS NAME DO YOU DO THIS IN?! Because my friend it sure isn't Jesus.

I hope all of you have a great three day weekend.

[akabeardman]

First off. Any person who is intentionally attacked, whether actually hit/kicked/attacked or having any bit of their property vandalized because of their color/creed or orientation makes me and the God I worship sick.

I just think that if I am attacked and beaten because I'm walking down the street shouldn't be legislated LESS or MORE than any gay man being beaten for being gay.

I truly can't imagine the hate you guys get, it would be arrogant for me to say I do, but...

[akabeardman]

if we are all created equal endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness then that's all we need.

The TVC is a joke and any church that hooks up with their "faulty math" (to be kind, it's really just a blatant lie, they were hoping you wouldn't count) should lose their 5013-C.

I hope all that read this understand that I despise anyone who would attack anybody based on anything.

Have a great day @akabeardman.

[Maccabeus1897]

"if we are all created equal endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness then that's all we need." -Okay, tell that to African Americans who only got "equal" rights in the past 40 years. Unalieanble rights are resereved for straight, white, anglo, Christians in this country. You need to understand that not everyone has the same privaledge that ou do as a white straight Christian.

[Maccabeus1897]

But as a straight people, you and I already have greater protection against such attacks. For one, we are not picked out and attacked for our sexuality or for holding the hand of our partner when we walk down the street. And America has a LONG history of ignoring crimes against gays and lesbians. Hate crime laws are meant to deter the kinds of attacks that people who are not part of the dominant culture are vulnerable to.

[akabeardman]

I completely agree with virtually everything you said.

I don't think 'hate crime' laws are gonna be any type of a deterrent. in the same ways the death penalty isn't a deterrent.

So in my opinion if it's not gonna stop people from having hate in their heart , why are we going to do it?

If that is true then why do we do it?

This is America, freedom is the corner stone of our republic. People gay/straight/black/white should be free to walk the streets with honor and dignity.

[akabeardman]

However their are the absolute scum of the earth that want to take that very freedom away.

How do we fix that? I don't think putting stiffer penalties on already warped minds are going to do anything.

I absolutely realize that things haven't been equal in this land BUT if we look to see who the country voted in I think we can see that "the divide" is greatly shrinking.

One last thing you say it's a DOMINANT CULTURE making these attacks, I would say

[akabeardman]

thats it's the SMALLEST fraction of people making these attacks, in the guise of WHITE/CHRISTIAN/MEN, I'm not saying they aren't but what I am saying is AS a WHITE/CHRISTIAN/MAN if I or any of my WHITE/CHRISTIAN/MEN friends saw anybody, but esp a gay or black man being attacked by a GROUP of warped people, ME and MY/WHITE/CHRISTIAN/MALE friends would jump in to get them out.

Because just as these men and women are being attacked, the Man that I live my life for was killed for all of us.

[Maccabeus1897]

True, a very small fraction of white-Anglo-Christian-Straight­s perpetrate hate crimes. But they ALL reap the benefits of being part of the dominant culture and ALL have the multitude of extra protections which that creates. AND virtually all of them take part in replicating the system of marginalization, whether overt or covert, of homosexuals (and other minorities).

[lucretiacyanide]

"TVC doesn't think a man slapping his wife counts as violence."

To be fair, they probably don't...they probably think it's a god-given right to be used by the man to keep his wife in her place. You know, "traditional values" and all...

[tamapalagi]

Domestic disputes were never handled by the cops. Alot of times things shouldn't always involve the law. A man slapping his wife? How about a wife slapping her husband? That was biased to show the man as an abuser. Sometimes people do ask for a slap. Haven't you dared someone to hit you so you can kick their ass?

[lucretiacyanide]

Actually, no, I have never dared anyone to hit me. Not so I could justify myself in kicking their ass, and not for any other reason, either.

[tamapalagi]

So would you feel better if the numbers were more in favor of your agenda? Who needs to define a crime as a hate crime?

Aren't all crimes motivated by some type of hate?

[BetterABleedingHeart]

I vote for both.

[QCHitch]

zombiechaddy:

If someone started killing catholic people as they left church, and the killer remained at large, only killing one or two people each time he attacked, you can imagine that this would strike fear into ALL catholics (at least within the geographical area).

This is the reason for "hate crime" law, it does not just affect the victim, it affects the entire class. So, yes, when people decide to go "roll some fags", they are committing hate crimes against the gay class of people.

[Maxwellfig]

During the Spanish civil war, Catholics were being persecuted and murdered pretty horribly. It's got nothing to do with religion - ultimately it all comes down to materialism. Catholicism isn't to blame. Rob is pointing out hypocricy, and like a true Catholic he's got the right idea about the commandments here. A Catholic should know to love all people, period. It's hard to do and anyone can slip into bigotry, but Rob's doing the right thing here and as a Catholic I for one support his work.

[MrPandaBehr]

[dargelospaul]

Thank you so much. Thank you for fighting for my rights. Thank you for fighting for justice.

[rainbearnj]

Thank you for the work you're doing, Rob. I look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future!

[TwoDeeMan]

I have one criticism: "I'll try to use less text in future vids."

There was a lot of text, but I don't think the point could have been made so forcefully without it.

Your audience is not conservative Christians; I, for one, don't mind reading.

[zombiechaddy]

Great vid demonstrating the dishonesty (or stupidity, or both) of these nuts. I'm a supporter of gay rights, but I'm not convinced that this bill is a good idea. I believe that the CRIME is the grounds for punishment, not the motivation. Yes, it's important to determine if motivation was a factor (as is the case with accidentally causing harm), but it's wrong to say gays deserve special laws that make harming a gay worse than harming anyone else. It only goes to further encapsulate gays.

[BonnieHalfElven]

It's not a "special law." Other minority groups have the same protection in the law that the lgbt community needs. It's a powerful thing for the government to say it is wrong to hate.

[zombiechaddy]

BonnieHalfEleven: Why are they needed? I understand the need for civil rights laws, but why does the gov't need to say, "it's wrong to hate?" The gov't doesn't, can't and shouldn't try to control emotions. Creating an equal-opportunity atmosphere is fine, but saying that a crime based on a racist/bigoted motivation should be more punishable than another motivation doesn't suppress hatred. If anything, it divides by grouping people and assigning special rights.

[BalmungSama0]

I like the way these crimes are kept track of, but creating different punishments for the same crime based on the motivation is just saying these groups are different and should be treated differently. I kill a man, I go to prison. I kill a man because he's gay, I go to prison longer. That doesn't seem right. We should keep track of crimes based on such discrimination, but we should punish them ust the same.

[BonnieHalfElven]

There are too many people who think that violence against someone simply because they are different is OK, and that's why hate crime should be a more severe penalty. We don't have true equality. We have a black president, and I know people who still use the "n" word. Prejudice is wrong and the law must recognize that.

[FearlessSon]

Well, motive is a factor. For example, someone who kills a man due to hitting him in a car unintentionally while DUI is manslaughter. Punishable, but it was an accident, not so severe. Someone who kills someone to rob them is worse, but still a one-off thing. Someone who kills someone out of hate for a group they belong to is not only a murderer, they also demonstrating threat of murder to the group to which the victim belongs. That warrents more severe punishment still.

[fallendmr]

then remove ALL hate crime laws, blacks would have a field day.

[divinehumanism]

@BalmungSama0: the point of the longer punishment is to send a message that discrimination is wrong. So in essence, killing a man because he's gay is a "combination" crime... the actual killing, and the discrimination involved.

[Dustylane2009]

@BalmungSama0 the propose of tagging Hate crime to a case; such as, a white man killing a black man or a straight man killing a gay man, is to try and stop crime based on hate. What would be the point of a normal punishment for murder if it was based on hate. We make laws to try and lessen the chance of these crimes happening. A lot of crime are based on hate so they make is more punishable to try and stop it from happening. This is simple logical thinking.

[AouryBear]

"A hate crime is when someone willfully causes bodily injury or attempts to cause bodily injury to any person because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, or disability of any person."

That's how the law defined it, until recently. Do you think protection should be REMOVED for these classes? 'cuz if you're gonna go halfway, you might as well go all the way....

[zombiechaddy]

AouryBear:

"Do you think protection should be REMOVED for these classes?"

We are ALL protected without hate crime laws. The only thing that hate crime laws do is assign a STRONGER punishment if your motivation was based on certain aspects. I really don't see a scenario where a drunk guy says to another, "Hey, let's beat up that fag!" and the other says, "Naw, that's 2 extra years in prison if we get caught."

If you want equality under the law, everyone should be treated equal.

[johnaryder]

For example, who do you think is more dangerous, a man who beats a guy up because black, or someone who beats a guy up for sleeping with his wife? Black people make up 13% of Americans, but people who slept with the second guy's wife probably don't, so clearly the first one is a threat to more people and thus should be locked away for longer.

By the way, hate crime laws also protect Christians, white people and heterosexuals.

[Maxwellfig]

But I think the point Rob's making is that violence against gays, and some violence in general, is not even being considered violence, according to the TVC, regardless of the motive.

[xstevenprocess]

[mediusnacht]

Another great video. I showed your last video to my university's secularist group the other day (many of whom are also avid gay rights activists), and it got applause at the end, something very few videos garnish. Kudos on the great work you do.
