I did a quick scan and haven’t seen this posted yet. I apologize if this has been shared already. File this one under “Just what are those kooky fundamentalists up to these days?” The following is a link to a trailer for a new DVD called “They are coming to your town”: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9zulfsy6Mg](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9zulfsy6Mg) From the site: > [@](#): > > Residents of the small Arkansas town of Eureka Springs noticed the homosexual community was growing. But they felt no threat. They went about their business as usual. Then, one day, they woke up to discover that their beloved Eureka Springs, a community which was known far and wide as a center for Christian entertainment–had changed. The City Council had been taken over by a small group of homosexual activists. > > The Eureka Springs they knew is gone. It is now a national hub for homosexuals. Eureka Springs is becoming the San Francisco of Arkansas. The story of how this happened is told in the new AFA DVD “They’re Coming To Your Town.” > > One of the first actions of the homosexual controlled City Council was to offer a “registry” where homosexuals could register their unofficial “marriage.” City Council member Joyce Zeller said the city will now be promoted, not as a Christian resort, but a city “selling peace, relaxation, history and sex.” > > AFA’s “They’re Coming ToYour Town” documents the story of how and why this happened. And how homosexual activists plan to do the same in other towns.

The mind truly boggles. ---

Quick, expel all the gays! Who wants tourists who come to our town for peace, relaxation, history, and sex? Oh, wait… But really… if the “Gay Agenda” is going to make my town an idyllic center for peace, relaxation, history and sex, I’m all for it. ---

Yeah - us gays are so evil forcing people to relax, have fun and generally not go around condemning others to hell. Where will it end? ---

Given that Eureka Springs is an artists’ colony, I can hardly imagine that the town suddenly woke up one day and realized there were gay people there. ---

> [@Illuminatiprimus](#): > > Yeah - us gays are so evil forcing people to relax, have fun and generally not go around condemning others to hell. Where will it end? See? The rot is already evident. \ It’s WE gays are so evil etc. If they can’t get basic grammar correct, where will it all lead? \ AS could use a bit of a shake up, if you ask me. Although this new development might bring new connotations to the term, “razorbacks”. 😛 ---

That looks like a [cute](http://www.eurekasprings.org/)town. It’ll have to go on my list of places to visit. It’s odd that even the 67-foot-tall “[Christ of the Ozarks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_of_the_Ozarks)” standing guard over the city couldn’t keep the homosexuals out. ---

(singing) They’re coming to your town, They’ll help you party down, They’re a homosexual band! (/singing) Come on, surely I’m not the only one who thought this upon reading the DVD title. Besides, who doesn’t appreciate a bit of peace, relaxation, history and sex? (Besides the residents of Eureka Springs, I mean.) ---

It’s odd that even the 67-foot-tall “[Christ of the Ozarks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_of_the_Ozarks)” standing guard over the city couldn’t keep the homosexuals out. But that Jesus is Fahhhbulous! Seriously, guys and gals… how desparate are you gays these days that you have to take your vast left wing conspiracy to Eureka Springs? I live in a small town in Canada that is distinctly lacking any gay culture. I, for one, would welcome our new gay overlords. Come to Kelowna! We have a [giant white sailboat statue](http://www.ourbc.com/photos/home/kelowna_sail_02_640.jpg) that looks oddly phallic… that beats giant Jesus hands down. ---

Why does that DVD trailer sound like a spoof you’d hear on South Park? It looks like Eric Cartman wrote that shit. If it wasn’t so mean spirited I’d laugh. ---

> [@](#): > > Eureka Springs is becoming the San Francisco of Arkansas…AFA’s “They’re Coming ToYour Town” documents the story of how and why this happened. And how homosexual activists plan to do the same in other towns. So now we’ve got a San Francisco in California and one in Arkansas. Are homosexual activists planning one doing one for each state? When is New York scheduled to get a San Francisco and where will it be located? I’ll pass on the gay sex but I’m looking forward to the seafood. ---

From the tone of the video, it appears these “gays” are quite cunning. I doubt you’ll convince one of “them” to admit the plans of their conspiracy. ---

My **GOD**. Have any of you actually seen the pictures of that place? I am NOT going to move there - national hub of homosexuals or not. The building colors are \*\*hideous \*\* - who designed the place? They sure weren’t Gay… and “The Quilt Shop”? Get back to me when it’s a sex club - or at least a leather bar… ---

I wish the gays would hurry up and build a new San Francisco here in Michigan. We could use the boost to the economy. They could take over Howell, for example. ---

[Christ of the Ozarks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_of_the_Ozarks), indeed. [QUOTE=Wikipedia] The statue has been parodied many times over the years in local and national publications due to its striking appearance and artistic flaws. Its disproportionate depiction of the figure has inspired a variety of unflattering nicknames, such as “Gumby Jesus” and “Our Milk Carton With Arms”. [/QUOTE] Looks to me rather like a bad case of gynecomastia. On the other hand: [QUOTE=Jiilyvn] Come to Kelowna!
