Since as we all know, the only thing that matters to Christianity in our time is sex, and gay sex at that.

And here you have the White House officially encouraging gay rights discrimination. Ah, for the ability to believe in Obama's Commu-Oh, bad analogy, the Soviets were some of the worst persecutors of gays around-I mean, Oh for the the idiots who believe that Obama's a prog-Oh, bad analogy, the Progressives were eugenicists and racist. Let's try that one more time-Oh, for the ability to believe that Obama is in any way a social reformer, as I would sincerely love to believe it.

Obama's proven his Christian credentials by this to the Religious Right, surely? After all, the only thing it cares about is teh Ghey, right?

* The October 7, 1998, fatal attack on Matthew Shepard (1976 – 1998), a gay student, in Laramie, Wyoming. Shepard was tortured, beaten severely, tied to a fence, and abandoned; he was found 18 hours after the attack and succumbed to his injuries less than a week later, on October 12. His attackers, Russell Arthur Henderson and Aaron James McKinney, are both serving two consecutive life sentences in prison.[104]
* The July 1, 1999, murders of gay couple Gary Matson and Winfield Mowder by white supremacist brothers Matthew and Tyler Williams in Redding, California. Tyler Williams was sentenced to a minimum of 33 years in prison, to be served after his completion of a 21-year sentence for firebombing synagogues and an abortion clinic.[105] Benjamin Williams claimed that by killing the couple he was "obeying the laws of the Creator".[106] He committed suicide in 2003 while awaiting trial. Their former pastor described the brothers as "zealous in their faith" but "far from kooks".[107]
* The murder of U.S. Army Pfc. Barry Winchell on July 6, 1999, in Fort Campbell, Kentucky by fellow soldier Calvin Glover. Winchell was beaten to death with a baseball bat after rumors spread on base of his relationship with transgendered author Calpernia Addams. Glover was sentenced to life in prison.[108]
* The September 1999 murder of Steen Fenrich, apparently by his stepfather, john D. Fenrich, in Queens, New York. His dismembered remains were found in March 2001, with the phrase "gay nigger number one" scrawled on his skull along with his social security number. His stepfather fled from police while being interviewed, then committed suicide.[109]
