I know there are a few gay contributors here. I want to know why you didn’t trust me enough to tell me about your grand plan! You were willing to spill the beans to the Vatican, but to me? Nooooo.
The Spanish Catholic Church is also concerned about homosexuality. During his Boxing Day sermon, the Bishop of Córdoba, Demetrio Fernández, said there was a conspiracy by the United Nations. "The Minister for Family of the Papal Government, Cardinal Antonelli, told me a few days ago in Zaragoza that UNESCO has a program for the next 20 years to make half the world population homosexual. To do this they have distinct programs, and will continue to implant the ideology that is already present in our schools."
I had no idea we even had a way to “make” people homosexual, but heck, if a Catholic priest says it, you know it’s got to be true. They take vows, you know, and believe in the ten commandments.

Got news for the pedo-in-a-dress: if people could choose their sexual orientation, all of us women would be lesbian, just based on how men treat us in general. The fact that at least 90% of us are straight is the strongest possible proof we have that people don’t choose their orientation.

After drinking this scientifically tested serum a number of guys who profess to being hetero when sober suddenly decide we are actually the most gorgeous thing they’ve ever clapped eyes on, and tend to make clumsy passes at us.
Regretably, field tests demonstrate that the results are temporary and usually wear off by the next morning, so we’re now working on a drink which makes this mindstate permanent.

So I guess I got nothing. “The UN has a secret plan to turn half the world’s population gay” is the kind of wacky conspiracy theory you’d find on a photocopied pamphlet in a creepy war memorabilia shop. But here it is coming out of the mouth of a high-ranking official of the world’s largest Christian denomination. And we’re supposed to respect his sincerely held beliefs? Would you respect the sincerely held beliefs of John Birch or William Luther Pierce?

I totally agree with the above statement. However I would disagree with the Catlickspitlles above as I wouldn’t want anyone to have to take on the huge responsibility of motherhood if they did not want to.
The thing I don’t get is how forcing vulnerable women to give birth and then transferring the responsibility for raising them onto the state (Let’s face it even the Catholic orphanages are mostly state funded)is helping and supporting motherhood.
If I didn’t know better I’d think they were trying to ensure a regular supply of fresh meat for the flock.

One of the things I find simulatneously funny and worrying about homophobes like Demetrio Fernández is that they seem to view homosexual men as sexually ravenous individuals who scheme day and night about how they can ‘convert’ heterosexual men so that they can have their way with them, and for this reason the likes of Fernández fear that they too may be ‘targeted’.
Whenever I encounter this attitude, the first thought that crosses my mind is ‘don’t flatter yourself’ – what makes all these homophobes think that they are so darn irresistable to gay men? To the extent that they apparently believe that no ridiculously covoluted plot is too Byzantine if it gives homosexuals the slightest shot at ‘teh hot, hot ghey secks’ with them?
Talk about an inflated ego…

Azuma Hazuki says
I suppose the jig us up…I can reveal how we do it.
Sexuality is actually mediated by subatomic particles. The standard model is not incomplete; but when scientists found out the relevant particles, they were put under a gag order lest the enemy find out how to generate them and use them as a weapon, turning our entire population gay and destroying us within a generation.
The specific particles are bosons, those with spin-0 attributes. We know of H+, H-, and H0 so far, these being the gay boson, lesbian boson, and heterosexual boson (aka yaoion, yurion, and heteron). It’s a simple matter of collimating a beam of the desired type from an accelerator and aiming them at the target. They’re not tremendously high-energy and are fairly long-lived, relativistically speaking.

Hairhead says
This must be projection. It must be. There is no other explanation for the faulty premises, the twisted logic, and the insane conclusion. Bishop Fernandez, I conclude, has been thinking about nothing but cock for the last forty years or so. So sad that he is obsessed with the thing that he denies himself.
I feel sorry for him, I really do. I imagine his thought processes must go something like this:
FERNANDEZ: (Cock, cock, cock, hairy root, stiffies) Good morning.
ASSISTANT: Good morning, Bishop, what would you like for breakfast?
FERNANDEZ: (Sausage, wieners, tube steak . . . NO! I cannot reveal myself!) Some fruit and yogurt please.
ASSISTANT: Here you are, sir, a bowl of stirred yogurt, with your bananas and mangosteens on the side, for you to peel.
FERNANDEZ: (Gazes at the mangosteens and thinks, they look like balls, hairy, hairy balls, oh, I’d love to roll them around in my mouth . . NO! Pick up the banana. Stop caressing it! He’s looking at you!) Thank you, I love some fruit in the morning. (My God, that yogurt looks like . . . cum! Lord, why do you tempt me so!)
ASSISTANT: Bishop, you knocked your mangosteens on the floor. Let me pick them up. (The assistant bends from the waist down; he pants are drawn tight over his young, firm buttocks. The Bishop’s eyes caress the tempting hemispheres of sinful flesh.)
FERNANDEZ: I think I have the theme of my new sermon!
ASSISTANT: That excites me, sir. Oh! That banana just seemed to pop right out of your hand! Let me clean it up. (Bends over again.)
FERNANDEZ: (Oh Lord, it cannot be you tempting me, surely you would not put your loyal servant through such pain! It must be . . . UNESCO. That’s it, UNESCO! United Nations Educators for Sucking Cock Orally! It’s been there all the time, right in front of me!) Bishop Fernandez pats his assistant’s buttocks fondly as the young man straightens up.
FERNANDEZ: You may go now.
ASSISTANT: Don’t you want some clean fruit? All that I gave you has fallen on the floor!
FERNANDEZ: No, it is not necessary. I will make do with the yogurt. (Tempting! Foul dairy!) I have my sermon to write, and I must do so while the passion is upon me.
ASSISTANT: As you wish, sir.

Jurjen S. says
Out of all the UN agencies he could come up, it’s UNESCO? If he’d claimed it was the UN Population Fund, or perhaps the Development Group in general, trying to reduce population growth, that might be somewhat not completely implausible. The first thing a conspiracy theory needs to even begin making sense is a plausible motive, and I just don’t see how turning half the world’s population gay is going to help UNESCO administer World Heritage Sites.
Jurjen S. says
And I might add that if “UNESCO” stands for “UN Educators for Sucking Cock Orally,” they failed to perform their task at the UN Inter-Agency Games I’ve been to (though I’ve had some good times with personnel from the IMO and IFAD).

Terms and conditions apply.
andrewbrown says
Giliell
I wouldn’t presume to speak for the horde, but for myself, it’s more about tweaking the nose of exclusively all male homophobic RCC.
As far as the RCC goes I suspect you may be right, that lesbianism doesn’t enter into their thinking at all, mainly as a woman doesn’t count as a fully formed human being.
As far as the abortions thing goes, I suspect the RCC view is an all or nothing proposition, one is too many.

The average secular 0 to 3 children family is not doing much in that direction…

There was an excellent piece on NPR this morning, one of their Story Corps pieces. It was an interview with a man who grew up gay in Kentucky with a very intolerant family. As he said, “I became a very good liar.”
One day, when his mother intercepted a valentine’s day card from a male friend of his, she took him out in the woods and held a loaded shorgun to his head and told him, “This is the tree where I take my son and blow his head off, if he evers decides to become a faggot.”

No, but you’re not far off. Queeracol is a precurser molecule that can be activated and modified by several sets of catylists into the other active chemicals.
In the body testosterone normally activates the inactive Queeracol into Queeracyclo which attacks the hawtoganglion in the brain and reverses it (a similar chemical emoichol is sometimes developed by frightened genocidal plants to induce suicide in humans). Gaiagra is actually Queeropentaphenol, which is made from a Queeracol base but is significantly different in dosing and response.
