Lively's
organization, Abiding Truth Ministries, has a website describing Lively
as "one of the most articulate opponents of the Homosexual Agenda in
America."
No wonder Lively is among the people responsible for Uganda's "kill the gays bill". Here's part of the address at the (now) infamous conference in Kampala just before the proposed bill reared its ugly head:
You must be ready to stop this gay agenda. And don't think that fighting the gay movement is the solution-you will be fighting a losing battle because this movement has come to stop humanity. They have a clear vision, mission and strategies. The only way to defeat them is to compete with them. Their movement is 70 years old and that's why they don't care about you. They know you will die soon and they will replace you and take over the nation. They have decided to recruit the youth.
Besides Abiding Faith Ministries, Lively is also the founder of the virulent (and violent) Watchmen on the Walls, based in Riga, Latvia. Lately, Watchmen has captured attention due to a homophobic homicide of a man in Sacramento.
BTW: Lively's cohort in homophobia is Reverend Ken Hutcherson:
"God hates effeminate men... If I was in a drugstore and some guy opened the door for me, I'd rip his arm off and beat him with the wet end."
All men of God should be so macho.
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council plays the other three "horsemen" like a puppeteer, using their rhetoric and skewed logic to demonize everyone who is gay or who might indicate a slight leaning towards support of gay rights:
"It was her [Elana Kagan's] rabid pro-homosexual views that led her to restrict military recruitment on Harvard Law School's campus, and, as Solicitor General, to sabotage the defense of our federal marriage law. In both instances, she favored her personal ideology and political calculations over the law.
"Rabid
pro-homosexual." The Four Horsemen of the Homosexual Agenda are
definitely leaning towards a Ugandan sensibility by making it a sin
(crime) to be supportive of the LGBT community.
There
are more people who can articulate what the Homosexual Agenda means to
them, but the Four Horsemen are at the top of the list as
self-appointed ministers of righteousness.
Additional Note:
I know that it seems I take things cavalierly sometimes. The headline of this article, for example, was written to introduce a subject with levity. That was in the way of attracting attention, then leading you to the real cause of my concern. Please remember: these people are real, their actions are real and their motives are real. And even though some people dismiss them as "wingnuts," they must be monitored. Their influence is not to be underestimated. You've heard it said that their rhetoric can kill. That's not a silly hyperbole - it's a fact. The sad part is that they know it and just chalk it up to God's will. In other words, God gave them each a conscience, but they sacrificed them to God on an altar of self-righteousness.
