Barry Duke

IRONICALLY, the Catholic League exists mainly to defend paedophilia in the RCC and trash LGBT+ people. How many queers hate Catholics? Catholic League President Bill Donohue posed this question after it was announced that the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, would after all, perform at a Los Angeles Dodgers game on June 16. Bill Donohue. Image via YouTube. He answered his own question: It’s hard to say, but it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that many gays and trans persons in the Los Angeles area do. Just in the LA area? Get real Donohue. The Catholic Church is … Continue reading Catholic League’s Bill Donohue brands Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence ‘an anti-Catholic hate group’

Far-right gay Christians declare war on same-sex marriage

Barry Duke

They claim gay marriage was introduced with the sole aim of ‘owning’ Christians. MUSLIMS are bent on using America’s religious liberties to further the Islamisation of the country, “conservative commentator” Pax Hart told a Proud Boys member in a video back in 2017. Speaking to Proud Boy New York Resident Geoff Young during a “Ride for Homeland Security” Hart declared: The worst thing we have going for us is our religious liberty. It’s our greatest vulnerability. In the video he made the claim that countries such as France and Germany would soon become Islamic.

A drag queen is not a drag queen if he loves God and Trump

Barry Duke

SALT Lake City Mormon Ryan Woods received a rapturous reception when he attended a recent gathering of far-right Trumpitas because he calls himself a ‘costume artist’. When Ryan Woods, aka Lady Maga USA, attended a recent Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida he got a rapturous reception despite his appearance in full drag.
