Home-Schooled Student Faces Death Threats from Homosexual Activists

Full article at: http://www.forerunner.com/blog/home-s...

I've known Karl Crank since 1987 when he came to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to help our campus group with evangelistic outreaches while I was a student. Karl and several other members of Boston Maranatha Church were responsible for getting me involved with direct action on the pro-life front through Operation Rescue Boston in 1988. It was no surprise to me when I learned that Karl and his wife Kathleen had become advocates to protect traditional marriage in their current home state of Maryland.

What did come as a shock is the vitriol, threats and hatred that have been spewed at them and even their children from the homosexual political activist community.

The threats toward their daughter, which now number in the thousands, expose the true face of the so-called "same-sex" marriage movement. It is not a campaign for tolerance and equal rights, but a push to eradicate Christianity from public discourse. It has taken the form of a campaign to punish a 14-year-old home-schooled Christian girl for speaking her opinion at an open forum held in a state house sub-committee meeting in Annapolis, Maryland on January 31st, 2012. This is what lies in store for Christians who want to express their beliefs when same-sex "marriage" becomes accepted as a civil right in our nation.

The Forerunner has tried to expose the myth of neutrality and the true nature of spiritual warfare surrounding such "social issues" in numerous articles and video presentations such as God's Law and Society and The Abortion Matrix (see below).

The attack on traditional marriage is much more than a liberal social experiment, but it represents an attack on the right to exercise the Christian faith in the public square.

14-Year-Old Sarah Crank faces death threats after stating her opinion on same-sex "marriage."

ANNAPOLIS, MARYLAND (www.forerunner.com) -- At a subcommittee hearing in the state house in Annapolis, Maryland, representatives debating a same sex "marriage" measure heard expert testimony from various witnesses The microphone was then opened to anyone in attendance to give a one-minute testimony stating their opinion.

Sarah Crank, a 14-year-old high school student, came with her mother and friends prepared to give a one-minute speech.

Transcript of the Testimony

Hi, I'm Sarah Crank. Today's my 14th birthday, and it would be the best birthday present ever if you would vote "no" on gay marriage. I really feel bad for the kids who have two parents of the same gender. Even though some kids think it's fine, they have no idea what kind of wonderful experiences they miss out on. I don't want more kids to get confused about what's right and okay. I really don't want to grow up in a world where marriage isn't such a special thing anymore.

It's rather scary to think that when I grow up the legislature or the court can change the definition of any word they want. If they could change the definition of marriage then they could change the definition of any word. People have the choice to be gay, but I don't want to be affected by their choice. People say that they were born that way, but I've met really nice adults who did change. So please vote "no" on gay marriage. Thank you.

Responses to the Testimony

Homosexual activists in attendance then chose three testimonies to post on YouTube. Sarah Crank's was one of them. Since she named her hometown at the request of the committee, people were able to locate her home address and information about her parents.

In early February, the audio of Sarah Crank's testimony then went viral on several sites including Salon.com, LGBTQNation.com and the HuffingtonPost.com.

"And now everyone knows her name, so hopefully she will feel what its like to be harassed and bullied ..." reads a comment posted on LGBTQNation.com

From YouTube: "My god I hate people like this. Most (not all) Americans are [expletive] retards. If I ever see this girl, I will kill her. That's a promise."

Other entries: "Her parents should be exterminated."

"The [sic] is why abortion must stay legal -- to prevent little bigots like this from being Born..."

"Kill this child and his [sic] parent, for my 11 birthday would be a wonderful gift, thanks."

"Her belief is hurting other people. I will attack her as much as I please."

"Parents like hers should be sterilized..."

"I'm gonna kill 'er!"

Sarah, we need more like you, kiddo. Praying for y'all!

[theelliechronicles]

hallalujah for a brave young girl standing up for truth! your reward is in heaven

[vidhead85]

Really? Where is a police report? Where's the news stories? I don't fall for this mess

[utubetommy]

Your name fits you... weirdguy. You're a dumb ass and I commend the young girl for sticking up for NORMAL families. If you have a problem with this girl, come see ME, asshole. I'm not a little girl lie Sarah, and I won't put up with your politically correct bullshit. Go back in the closet and play with yourself...

[jpfrlinguaphile]

Based on your logic, it would be OK for me to hold you personally responsible for every self-identified Christian who has ever killed an abortion doctor. That's what I'm getting from this video. I don't agree with what the girl said, but I also don't agree with the death threats she received.

[weirdguy75]

It's not her fault she's a dumb bitch it's her parent's fault for home schooling her.

[TheObservantOne1]

Err, Argumentum ad Antiquitatem. Beg your pardon.

[TheObservantOne1]

I call Reductio ad Antiquitatem on the first point. I assume you know what that means. And who cares if it's an invented term? All terminology is invented to describe different phenomena. And really, that last point is 1. oversimplified to the point where it's not worth addressing, and 2. fails to both define the issue as a family issue as opposed to a cultural (or perhaps, dare I say, racial) issue and offer even a suggestion of any practical solution, which is what I'm waiting for from you.

[Bluto2973]

The "family structures" you speak of is an invented term. A family is husband, wife, and children. The family has always been man + woman + children. Two people simply make a couple. And by "social ills" I'm talking about how children are twice as likely to develop behavioral and emotional problem in homes with only one parent. Why are so many young kids on the street joining gangs. It's because they live in broken homes. This isn't that complicated.

[TheObservantOne1]

They do, yes, but they can occur in other family structures, as well, and would perhaps occur more in those structures if they weren't being marginalized and oppressed. And it's not as if the system would be improved if we forced unhappy couples to stay together, forced single moms to marry or give up their kids, and made fathers be at home with their kids. It's not that simple. And if you could, define what you mean by "social ills."

[Bluto2973]

The answer to both of your questions is yes and yes.  However, that doesn't change the fact that ideal outcomes occur in homes where a mother and father are present.

[TheObservantOne1]

...that doesn't make something a circular argument. And perhaps this needs more definition. My bad. I mean "proper views" as in your views in your ideal society. I should've emphasized that. Anyway, some questions: do you think that, perhaps, attitudes such as your own (and discrepancies in legal protections) on a massive scale have an influence on how the gay or alternative family functions in society? And isn't a traditional, intact family also prone to instability and bad influence?
