As seen on morons.org – Apparently, it was held in Wisconsin by a Fred Phelps wannabe named Ralph Ovadal.
The article centers on how a senator attended that bastion of liberality and rational thought, the state gay rights group (Action Wisconsin) asked who the senator was who would attend a religious conference put on by a Christian church (the very fundamentalist Wisconsin Christians United) on the public dime, and Rev. Ralphie-boy (the head of WCU) whigning about how nobody called another senator on attending a conference (apparently non-religious in nature) that was more gay-friendly.
Now that that’s out of the way, what the fuck? Do they honestly not want to attract new members? 'Cause the name of the conference the WCU held was officially titled “The First International Conference on Homo-Fascism.”
That wasn’t some guy’s idea of a joke. It’s apparently what the organizers of the conference decided would honestly make a good title for their little shindig.
I can’t stop laughing, actually. I try to become serious, then I get images of Hitler buying from IKEA. I get images of Tim Curry, in full Rocky Horror drag, saying “Achtung, Baby.”
Their First International must have been absolutely moronic. I wonder if they sang La Internationale, or just Kyle’s Mom is a Big Fat Bitch.
I imagine the depths of stupidity they would have to plumb to think up a title like that, and I laugh.
Hell, the picture I get is Hitler and Mussolini waltzing to “Springtime for Hitler in Germany…” in the middle of an all-male ball with tasteful decor and cucumber sandwiches.
Both are accompanied by military bodyguards, who are, shall we say, not just talking about the weather.
That’d be funny if there weren’t actual Gay Nazi Separtists like Pim Fortuyn. :rolleyes:
Sure, imagine the fellers in their pink diamond tiaras lording over mankind. Everyone forgets us butches in the trenches, with our husky voices and combat boots. Just because we’re not pretty facists. ::sniffle::
Awwww—they were my favorite vaudeville team! Then talkies came in and Sodomy went off to Hollywood, while Cannibalism wound up playing two-a-day burlesque on the Minsky circuit.
From what I’ve read, Fortuyn wasn’t Nazi, but a strident multi-culturalist who was quite intolerant of other people’s intolerance. Perhaps Dutch and other Eurodopers could shed more light on this question.
