Crazy Fundies Alert: AFA says congress is set to protect "various" sexual orientations.....

[marmar]

I wonder if that includes the sexually repressed? :think:


:freak:



Get ready, America. Congress set to make various sexual orientations legally protected.

You call is needed today!

April 27, 2009

Congress is set to give legally protected status to 30 sexual orientations, including incest. Because of pressure from homosexual groups, Congress has refused to define what is meant by sexual orientation in H.R. 1913, the "Hate Crimes" bill. This means that the 30 different sexual orientations will be federally protected classes.

To see the orientations that will be protected by the Hate Crimes bill (H.R. 1913), click here.

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote on H.R. 1913 in a matter of days. Right now, there is still time to kill this bill, but time is short.

Take Action!
Click Here to get the telephone number for your representative, along with suggested talking points for your call. Call your representative today to demand politely, but firmly, that he or she vote against H.R. 1913.

Please forward this to all your family and friends. You may be told this information is incorrect. If so, ask why then did the House Judiciary Committee refuse to define "sexual orientation?"

Pastors, it is time to take a stand. Share this information with your members, and ask them to call.

1. 30 sexual orientations?!

Wow, I guess I need to branch out, haha.

[av8rdave]

2. The fundies probably think that refers to positions...

and they're jealous!

[readmoreoften]

3. Why are these scumbags allowed to brazenly lie like this without consequence?

Why do they get away with lumping their ability to continue assaulting us to a campaign against incest? (Right, it's only one prayer...)

[NYC_SKP]

4. What bullshit. Here are the 30 "orientations" they claim will be protected.

Including Pedophilia. Yeah, right. I'm sure that's right there in the bill.

The AFA list of 30 orientations:

Apotemnophilia - sexual arousal associated with the stump(s) of an Amputee
Asphyxophilia - sexual gratification derived from activities that involve oxygen deprivation through hanging, strangulation, or other means
Autogynephilia - the sexual arousal of a man by his own perception of himself as a woman or dressed as a woman
Bisexual - the capacity to feel erotic attraction toward, or to engage in sexual interaction with, both males and females
Coprophilia - sexual arousal associated with feces
Exhibitionism - the act of exposing one’s genitals to an unwilling observer to obtain sexual gratification
Fetishism/Sexual Fetishism - obtaining sexual excitement primarily or exclusively from an inanimate object or a particular part of the body
Frotteurism - approaching an unknown woman from the rear and pressing or rubbing the penis against her buttocks
Heterosexuality - the universal norm of sexuality with those of the opposite sex
Homosexual/Gay/Lesbian - people who form sexual relationships primarily or exclusively with members of their own gender
Gender Identity Disorder - a strong and persistent cross-gender identification, which is the desire to be, or the insistence that one is, or the other sex, "along with" persistent discomfort about one’s assigned sex or a sense of the inappropriateness in the gender role of that sex
Gerontosexuality - distinct preference for sexual relationships primarily or exclusively with an elderly partner
Incest - sex with a sibling or parent
Kleptophilia - obtaining sexual excitement from stealing
Klismaphilia - erotic pleasure derived from enemas
Necrophilia - sexual arousal and/or activity with a corpse
Partialism - A fetish in which a person is sexually attracted to a specific body part exclusive of the person
Pedophilia - Sexual activity with a prepubescent child (generally age 13 years or younger). The individual with pedophilia must be age 16 years or older and at least 5 years older than the child. For individuals in late adolescence with pedophilia, no precise age difference is specified, and clinical judgment must be used; both the sexual maturity of the child and the age difference must be taken into account; the adult may be sexually attracted to opposite sex, same sex, or prefer either
Prostitution - the act or practice of offering sexual stimulation or intercourse for money
Sexual Masochism - obtaining sexual gratification by being subjected to pain or humiliation
Sexual Sadism - the intentional infliction of pain or humiliation on another person in order to achieve sexual excitement
Telephone Scatalogia - sexual arousal associated with making or receiving obscene phone calls
Toucherism - characterized by a strong desire to touch the breast or genitals of an unknown woman without her consent; often occurs in conjunction with other paraphilia
Transgenderism - an umbrella term referring to and/or covering transvestitism, drag queen/king, and transsexualism
Transsexual - a person whose gender identity is different from his or her anatomical gender
Transvestite - a person who is sexually stimulated or gratified by wearing the clothes of the other gender
Transvestic Fetishism - intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving cross-dressing
Urophilia - sexual arousal associated with urine
Voyeurism - obtaining sexual arousal by observing people without their consent when they are undressed or engaged in sexual activity
Zoophilia/Bestiality - engaging in sexual activity with animals

[geckosfeet]

6. Frotteurism !?! Transvestic Fetishism !?! I didn't learn about these in health class.

I learned about them from AFA list.

Thanks guys. Let me know when the next edition comes out!

[Deep13]

31. And they claim WE'RE obsessed with sexual "deviancy."

Wow.

[Canuckistanian]

7. Boy , that's a lot of "research"

I wonder if there's a "Familyresearchoplilia"?

Scratch that, I don't want to know.

[NYC_SKP]

8. That's the short list. I didn't see Plushie-philia listed, for example.

You think I'm kidding?

I don't know what this is, but it's "plushie":



Tissue dispenser from WalMart:



And even in Canada!!!:



:P

[Canuckistanian]

10. You think I was raised in an FLD compound?

I know about that stuff. Ever since the first days of USENET.

Don't understand it, but I know about it.

[NYC_SKP]

13. I don't get it either.

That and infantilism are just way out there.

Not that I "get it" about most of the rest of the thirty.

BTW, I just read the full text of the bill in question, H.R. 1913, the "Hate Crimes" bill.

What a stretch to extend "sexual orientation" to include anything and everything that appears in the DSM-IV.

From the AFA:
"The Hate Crime law, HR-1913, will make 30 sexual orientations federally-protected. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) has published 30 such sexual orientations that, because of Congress's refusal to define "sexual orientation," will be protected under this legislation. These 30 orientations are listed in the APA's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), which is used by physicians, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and psychiatrists throughout the U.S. It is considered the dictionary of mental disorders. Those 30 sexual orientations include behaviors that are felonies or misdemeanors in most states."

:patriot:

[yardwork]

11. Republicans are familiar with most of those already.

[tanyev]

12. Good God, those fundies spend a lot of time thinking about sex.

[KitchenWitch]

20. If they would spend a minute fraction of the time actually HAVING sex

that they do THINKING about sex...

[eShirl]

14. so most of these "orientations" are just fetishes

they forgot a few :D

[Irreverend IX]

22. Kleptophilia - obtaining sexual excitement from stealing

This must be why the government's been so lenient towards the finance industry. They don't want to discriminate against their sexual orientation.

[Withywindle]

23. DUzy!!!! n/t

[Skip Intro]

5. Scare tactics. Fear mongering. Hate mongering. This is the kinda bs that i killing the repuke party.

[bluedawg12]

9. Am I missing something from the reichwing lie machine?

This is Federal hate crime legislation, which includes sexual orientation, as far as I know for the first time (perhaps a legal beagel type can verify that)I don't see 30 exotic anythings mentioned. Drat! :evilgrin:

15. 30???

Wait wait wait...



1. Likes opposite gender
2. Likes same gender
3. Likes both genders
4-30. ???


That covers my entire porn collection. So either a)I have a massive, massive gap in my collection, or b) AFA is full of fearmongering bullshit.


Tough choice, but I'm thinking

[NYC_SKP]

19. I'm surprised at how many "special interests" were left off the list.

They need to do better research.

Where are Plushies and the Balloon Fetishists?

And HannaBarbaraphiliacs?

What about them??? :cry:

[krispos42]

30. Plushie... wasn't there some right-wing Morality Police dude last election...

...that turns out was a Furry and had adult Furry drawings all over his home page?

[NYC_SKP]

32. Oh, was there??? Too Funny!!!

I Googled, but couldn't find anything, for anyone arrested as you describe.

I did, however, find that there is a wiki for furries!

http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Burned_Furs

Something for everyone, gotta love the Internet!

:toast:

[krispos42]

33. Not arrested, but there was a hububaloo about it

The Moral Values critic partaking of Furry sexuality, or whatever.


Can't find it, didn't save it. :shrug:


Ah well...

[foxfeet]

16. The AFA's list failed to include ignorgasmaphilia:

the arousal inherent in the act of telling other people how to conduct their sex lives.

[madeline_con]

17. 30 different sexual orientations ...

... including incest.... will be federally protected classes. :wtf:




The ultra right killing a hate crimes bill. SSDD. :(

[NYC_SKP]

18. They are drawing a line that isn't there. H.R. 1913 includes "sexual orientation"...

‘(2) OFFENSES INVOLVING ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED RELIGION, NATIONAL ORIGIN, GENDER, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, GENDER IDENTITY, OR DISABILITY-
‘(A) IN GENERAL- Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, in any circumstance described in subparagraph (B), willfully causes bodily injury to any person or, through the use of fire, a firearm, or an explosive or incendiary device, attempts to cause bodily injury to any person, because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person--

AFA takes the term "sexual orientation" from the bill, then goes over to the DMS IV which lists "sexual dysfunctions" and includes some of those 30 behaviors/fetishes.
http://www.psychnet-uk.com/clinical_psychology/clinical_psychology_sexual_dysfunction4_paraphilias.htm

It's bullshit, of course, but people buy it.

There's more background to this, check wikipedia's entry for DMS III and IV for some history on the inclusion of homosexuality as a disorder.

That's their connector.

:mad:

[bumblebee1]

21. Incest is a sexual orientation?

Incest is a crime. You mean it's not my imagination that fundie Christians sound like they're stupid?

[NYC_SKP]

24. It's not your imagination. They think that lovers of children and horses will be protected.

I think they really think that! :wtf:

[krispos42]

34. No, they do sound that stupid

The utter seriousness with which they say it might be throwing you off, though...


Wingnets, wingnuts, wingnuts...

[dkofos]

25. Lunatics

[Mari333]

26. I feel like Ive missed everything! 30? I had no idea

I live a boring life.

[NYC_SKP]

27. I can help.

:P

[Mari333]

28. thanks hon! Im as old as methuselah

but you sure made me smile. :)

[NYC_SKP]

29. Number 13:

"Gerontosexuality - distinct preference for sexual relationships primarily or exclusively with an elderly partner"

There ya go! Something for everyone!

:loveya:

[TankLV]

35. I'm 56 - does that mean that EVERYTHING I do is in that one?!!!

and what about my partner - he's only about four months younger...

I read somewhere that when you qualify for the IHOP "Senior Specials" then your "in"...

but I could be wrong...

boy have I got a lot to catch up on...

[cherish44]

36. They are perverts

I would hate to be the person who had to clean up the jizz puddle created from the circle jerk they had doing that "research"

[Bluenorthwest]

37. Everywhere you look

the hypocritical fake religionists spread their hate.
