In the age of “victimization” it takes very little to set off the extremist of the world. Whether it is Muslims over a teddy bear named Mohammad, or gay activist participating in violent criminal activities after losing Proposition 8, some people love to play the role of “victim.” Take the case of the Popes most recent speech.
Pope Benedict was accused of “stoking homophobia” after a speech in which he declared that saving humanity from homosexuality was just as important as saving the rainforest from destruction. The Pontiff made the remarks in an end-of-year address to the Curia, the Vatican's central administration. He said that humanity needed to listen to the “language of creation” to understand the intended roles of man and woman and behavior beyond traditional heterosexual relations was a “destruction of God’s work”.
“The tropical forests do deserve our protection. But man, as a creature, does not deserve any less," Benedict told scores of prelates gathered in the Vatican's Clementine Hall.
"What’s needed is something like a ‘human ecology,’ understood in the right sense. It’s not simply an outdated metaphysics if the Church speaks of the nature of the human person as man and woman, and asks that this order of creation be respected.”
One does not have to be Catholic to respect the Pope or embrace the message he is trying to convey. But to imply that the Pope is homophobic is just another example of a “boy crying wolf.” In this modern age, you are considered intolerant merely for speaking out against a lifestyle you feel is harmful. There was no “hate” in the Popes speech, yet the response by many “gay activist” are filled with all manner of hate speech for both the Pope and Catholics:
Democratic Underground: NO SEX WITH WOMEN? WEARS DRESSES? PROTECTS PEDOPHILES? .... it's POPEMAN.. what a GAY hat !!!!
Boxer Rebellion: F**K YOU POPE BENEDICT!!!!!!!
There is a lot more hate where those came from. One only needs to do a blog search using the words “Pope” and “homophobic.” For an added measure, you can include any combination of obscene words, along with “hate,” “bigot,” or just use your imitation, and ta-da, or sorts of vile comments are returned.
In an effort to expose a “perceived hatred,” some gay activists have managed to expose their own prejudices and loathing. To compare the Pope to pure evil such as Ahmadinejad or Mugabe, is nothing more than example of how disconnected from reality some people are. You do not have to agree with the teachings of any religion, but you should stay away from the “theatrics of victimization” if you want to be taken seriously.
