Homosexual Community in a Tizzy

Homosexual Community in a Tizzy
by Flip Benham, April 22, 2006

In answer to our press release dated March 27, 2006, (Charlotte Pride Pushed Back into the Closet) David Moore, editor of Q-notes, waxed almost eloquent in his diatribe against Operation Save America this month. Here is our press release on top, and below is David's attempt at parody. There is a visceral hatred toward true biblical Christianity by the homosexual community and a demand to be tolerated no matter how vile the sin. We are engaged in nothing less than a battle between two seeds (Genesis 3:15).

Mr. Moore and I have spoken on several occasions over the years. I like him very much, yet he is in flagrant violation of God's Commandments, and proud of it. If there is not true repentance on his part there will only be hell in store for him. But because God loves him unconditionally, I am duty bound to speak into his life the truth that is found in the Holy Scriptures. David calls this hate speech, but God calls it love.

I speak that David might experience God's grace and mercy which are freely given to those who meet God's conditions (Proverbs 28:13; 1 Peter 5:6). God's love for David is indeed unconditional, but His mercy and grace toward him are based on a condition: that David confess and renounce his sins.

True Love will not leave one alone in his sin. That is why Jesus came to this earth! It is also what got Him crucified on the cross.

“Charlotte Pride” Pushed back into the Closet

“Charlotte Pride,” that horrific abomination where homosexual perversion is paraded publicly in Marshall Park in Downtown Charlotte every spring, is finished! Thank God! - Rev Flip Benham, Operation Save America, formerly known as Operation Rescue.

No more open displays of obscenity with photos of males in full frontal nudity. No more vendor booths selling S&M merchandise. No more sound stage with transvestite dancers simulating sodomy with children. No more vile and threatening comments made toward children by homosexual comedians. Marshall Park will be free this year from the vile assaults of the homosexual community.

We pray that God will push the radical homosexual agenda – not just back into the closet – but all the way into its lying, murderous grave, and leave no marker for it. We pray that what happened here will provide a bright ray of hope for gentle Christians who are battling the radical homosexual agenda and “Gay Pride Events,” in their own cities. We pray that many who are lost in the bondage of homosexual lust and sin will be set free by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

How did this happen? Gentle Christians took the battle to the streets. For the past four years we have been bringing King Jesus to “Charlotte Pride, ” the very gates of hell! We have found that the gates of hell cannot prevail against the Church of Jesus Christ !

As the Church has come out of the closet, the homosexual community has returned to the closet. Light and darkness cannot coexist. Life and death are not compatible – the beginning of one is the end of the other. Christianity and homosexuality are sworn enemies – one brings life, the other brings death.

On with Pride…Operation Save America close to the Grave!
by David Moore, Editor Q-Notes

“Operation Save America, that horrific abomination of twisted and distorted Christianity that parades around the country harassing gentle gays and lesbians, and those who believe in a woman's right to reproductive freedom, is in deep trouble, Thank God!

True Christians are praying that this year God will push the radical evangelical agenda all the way into the grave and leave no marker for it! True Christians are praying that this will provide a bright ray of hope for all who are dealing with fundamentalist cult groups and that city after city will be set free from this lie from the pit of hell. Real Christians are praying that many lost in the bondage of hate and prejudice will be set free by the gospel of Jesus Christ.Sound familiar? It should.

It's a parody of Operation Save America's take on Charlotte's annual Pride celebration — with the words changed around a bit — to show just how un-Christian and far away they are from the mindset of equality-loving Americans. Many of whom happen to be Christian.

Cult members of OSA: fundamentalist, anti-family, un-Christian bigotry and hatred at Charlotte Pride '04.

Operation Save America recently swiped a complete story (along with graphics, mind you) from the Q-Notes website and pasted it on to theirs. Not without adding that touch of hellfire and brimstone damnation diatribe just above it, of course.

As many of you know, much has changed since last year's Pride event.

The fact that it is not being held in Marshall Park in early May — as in years past — has nothing to do with Benham and efforts by Operation Save America, though they'd like you to think so.

We're quite sure that they're trying their best to take responsibility for “pushing the radical homosexual agenda all the way into the grave and leave no marker for it!”
We're not having any of that, however.

After organizers of last year's event bowed out on continuing production of the festival, Q-Notes came together with the Charlotte Gay and Lesbian Community Center to form a new event: PrideCharlotte.

Now under the direction of an organized task force run by co-chair and Center Director Laura Witkowski and Q-Notes Publisher and interim co-chair Jim Yarbrough, PrideCharlotte is putting together plans for a new and even better event.

And you better believe we're already under the microscope from OSA founder Flip Benham and his minions.

Michael Brown, the director of an organization known as the “Coalition of Conscience” — the red shirts that invaded last year's Pride — has been in direct contact with me, requesting “dialogue” on Charlotte Pride and wanting to know info about the upcoming event. Benham recently called Center Director and Pride Charlotte Co-Chair Laura Witkowski to see what details he could glean from her.

Do we look like we were born yesterday guys?

OSA landed on our previously peaceful turf a little over four years ago and immediately set their sights on Charlotte 's gay and lesbian community. They haven't let up since. If recent developments are any indication — they're still chomping at the bit to bring their warped interpretation of Christianity to Charlotte's LGBT community.

Here at the Q-Notes office we've been deluged by callers insisting on anonymity, but requesting any and all information we have on the year's Pride festival. Where will it be held? What's the date? Where can we go to find out more details?

Fact of the matter is, none of those details have been confirmed as of yet. That information will be released as soon as all plans are in place.

Right now — there are a few things I can tell you.

Coming up at Charlotte 's Gay and Lesbian Center on May 6 — the originally scheduled date for this year's Charlotte Pride — will be a Pride Block Party. A fundraiser for the upcoming PrideCharlotte festival, the day-long event will include speakers, musical performances, food vendors, a bazaar and a car and dog wash. For more details contact the Lesbian and Gay Center at 704-333-0144.

On May 26 the Wyndham Garden Hotel is hosting a formal cocktail reception, dinner and fashion show fundraiser — also for PrideCharlotte. Details about that event can be found at www.pridecharlotte.com.

As you can see — the spirit of LGBT Pride is alive and well in Charlotte. Word to OSA — and we know you're reading — your actions have backfired. You woke up the wrong sleeping bear.”
