Gay Pride march to Mecca?
Greg Gutfield, more commonly known as a conservative writer at his blog, the Daily Gut, and a regular on the evening political commentary shows, writes in the otherwise liberal Huffington Post about a “March to Mecca” to protest abuse of homosexuals in Arab countries.
He cites a press release calling on Hollywood celebrities and all others to join in the march. The post even comes with a web address for the March to Mecca website. For a organization that hopes to attract Hollywood celebs to its cause, the website is rather amateurish in its look and layout - again reinforcing my view that this is really a joke.
The march, a brainchild of activists and celebrities who acknowledge that more gays are dying from Islamic fundamentalism than from the policies of George W. Bush, will begin 12 noon sharp in Jeddah, the stunning night-life friendly Saudi Arabian city located on the coast of the Red Sea.
Ok, I see where this is going…
Beth Ditto, lead singer of the Gossip, who will perform with the newly reformed Yaz, thinks the march is overdue. “Forget right wing Christians. They don’t hang gays for being gay. Islamofascists do. That’s why were asking moderate, non-violent Muslims across the Western Province to join hands and embrace gay people everywhere.”
“Almost half of all Muslim countries outlaw gay relations,” says Huffington Post contributor Gene Stone, “and more than 70 countries ban all homosexuality, sometimes making it punishable by death. And here I am, blogging about how bad Renew America is. LOL.”
“Think about the two teenagers convicted of homosexuality who were hanged in Iran last year,” says Harry Shearer, “It makes all the hay we made over Mark Foley at the Huffington Post seem stupid. I, for one, am tired of being part of the problem.”
If it isn’t real, I’m surprised HufPo let it get posted. If it is real, all I can say is…bring your body armor and your personal security. This could get interesting.
