The Peter's feeble fundraising dinner

Peter will of course... Claim his Dinner Event to have been Victorious!

It's Porno Pete's regular MO for running "Americans for MisTruth about Homosexuality."  On his Website, he wants 1,000 people to send him $20 a month for his livelihood, well $240K a year to promote HATE via his website, bash GLBT people seeking equal rights, hook-up with pal Matt Barber & CWA to make tape recordings bashing decent GLBT citizens, pay a mortgage on a suburban McMansion, raise a family, pay bills, drive a Mercedes, have an office, travel to IML & now Folsom St.... seems like a Gravy Train Career he's wanting to achieve.

His recent "Trip" to SF's 2007 Folsom St Fair... was it REAL or did he just merely grab pictures from another website for his AFTAH story? There aren't any pictures of him or his gal pal Allyson actually being there, at least no pictures of either one has been posted over on Peter’s wall of shame. Also the kid in the Steamworks picture... was that staged with his own son being there with him? If I had Children, I certainly would not take them to such an event. October is SF's "Summer", it’s the best weather of the year, high tourist season and perhaps a family of tourists accidentally flowed into the Folsom St Fair. If Peter was truly concerned about that young boy being there, why didn't he approach the parents of the boy and say something to them? We the reading audience weren't there so we couldn't . Peter's a coward to have said nothing to that family and to write a blanket statement that the entire GLBT community would support and condone a child attending such an event

Ha ha!

Well, of course, now he does say it was "very successful" given Miller Beer and GLN tried to shut them down. I'm sure Pam will have a hysterical update shortly.

[ Parent ]

Send Porno Pete your condolences on his bigot bash bust.

I went over to the AFTAH.org site and told Petey how sorry I was to hear that his bigot bash was such a bust.

I encourage everyone here to go over and tell him how sorry we are that he is running out of money and being abandoned by his Christian soldiers just as the homa-sek-shul agendaist are starting to win the "culture war".

He used to be dangerous.  Then he was just sad.  Now he's just sadly amusing.

Is it possible to pity someone and laugh at them at the same time?

Does this mean

that Petie is going to convert from being a fundamentalist Xtian to a fundLESS one?

Love It!

Here in Massachusetts, MassResistance (Mass's answer to Porno Pete's group) held their banquet on Thursday night with one of the same speakers, David Parker.

These people are always taking pictures of gay stuff yet when it comes to their own fundraising events no pictures exist.  Why is that?

The same night as the Massresistance fundraiser was a "getting to know you" cocktail party for the Point Foundation.  It was hugely successful although I don't have an amount for the dollar amount it generated however their was a donor present that was matching all the donations submitted that night.

If there reeeeally was a gay agenda, and he reeeeally were smart...

_

No, Peter, if that were my child, I wouldn't have him there; it's clearly a sex subculture-related event for consenting adults. That a child was there has nothing to do with hetero- or homo-sex, it's about parenting issues and choices in American culture.

Then wouldn't he be blaming us for planting the kid in the first place -- just so that he could accuse us, of accusing him, -of blaming us for irresponsible parenting?

The picture

 "Peter's a coward to have said nothing to that family and to write a blanket statement that the entire GLBT community would support and condone a child attending such an event "

I agree.  That the child was there says more about the child's parents than it does about ALL gay people and what all gay people condone (But I wouldn't be surprised if the photo was staged).

Oh boo hoo...

Babby boy isn't happy that you, you lesbiana activist person you, is misrepresentin' him. See, he was all standing outside (during day hours) the Steamworks not inside (which was much later on in the dark of night).  

Don't you just  love how he's so damned shocked that commenters here bash him..."Oh, woe is me that they bash me for all my goodness that I do." Wah, friggin' wah. Get too close to the flame, Slappy, and you get burnt. 

So, since you clearly read these comments, Petey, my darlin' bottom boy, last I remember from my fundie upbringing--and yes, I had a very extensive, very long, very unnecessary Christian education...guess what, still gay--no one gets a special tushie parking spot in heaven for doing extra credit non-assignments so why all the extra effort for this cause when you could do some actual good on earth...like, I dunno, help the homeless/sick/lame/less fortunate? You know, those that need and want the good Christian help.

I seriously doubt Jebus said to you "Hey, Slappy, get out there and stop that annoyin' man on man buttsecks that my Big Daddy hates. Do that, and on top of believin' in me, you'll get front row seats to all Heaven events and half-off drink specials for all eternity."

I mean, if I were you, I'd be a little more concerned that Big Daddy is going to notice all the extry time spent on stopping the thing you wish you could do yourself (gay buttsecks), but can't, when you should be doing the thing you don't want to do (help others less fortunate), but could.

It isn't the gay families who bring their kids...

Most of the people I've seen at Folsum, with kids in tow, are not gay or even leather folk; they are straight, yuppie types.  I'm sure Petey failed to mention that.

And I say more power to them.  Americans need to get over this ridiculous idea that kids need protection from everything (note -- this is NOT an endorsement of child-adult sex).  Kids are just fucked up adults waiting to happen.  Maybe they wouldn't be quite so fucked up if their parents raised them to be cool about sex and sexuality.

In Europe, which is in every way superior and more enlightened than the U.S., people don't make such a big to-do about such things.  There is a lot less violent crime and people are generally happier and more comfortable with each other. 

In Amsterdam, families live in apartment buildings, with hookers' red-light cubicles set up on the street level.  My favorite hotel is just across from one such building.  Also on the block are coffee shops (yes, those kind), a straight porn theater, a gay porn theater, restaurants and a church (that has probably stood longer than the US has been a country, actually the whole block is probably that old).  On Sunday morning, the church goers walk down the block on their way to worship, with kids and prams in tow.  Nobody makes an issue about anything; they just live their lives.

Like it or not, those kids who go to Folsum are going to evolve the US into a kinder, gentler, less hung-up place.  They won't be hung up on puritanical moral issues surrounding sex and they won't be hung up on what gender of person a person has sex with.  They will be the end of the  Peters of the world, because they will replace people like him in the gene pool (the fact that events like Folsum and IML draw thousands, while Petey can bareley get 50, should evidence a foreshadowing of that).  And the world will be a better place for it.

Peter, why don't you get a real life,

Doing something more productive.  You see, we all agree that adults having sex with children is wrong.  The sad part, you want keep trying to put all this on the LGBT community.

  I would ask you to watch MSNBC To Catch a Predator and take note that these are married men looking for under age girls.

  But I know you have other motives.  You wish you could be involved in the man on man action.  I know I can not really know this for sure, because I have never met you.  But some how you feel you have the right to judge how I raise my two daughters with out ever meeting me.

  I get this from watching what you write, and it appears to be the same as Larry Craig.  You know speaking out so vocally against the LGBT community, but secretly being part of it.

 

If I make sense? it was quite by accident.

Whelps....

It looks like the fall of Peter LaBarbera is about to reach its climax. BAM BAM BARBER your turn is about to be up!

Photos

It's very interesting that in order to "prove" his claims about events like Folsom, Peters gladly posts loads of photos.  However, when trying to refute "lies" about his low attendance, he only uses his own personal account of the attendance as proof.  You know he has to have plenty of photos of the banquet.  If GLN really is lying like he says, why won't he post the evidence?!

But. . .

Peter said there was 110 there and the room was "PACKED".  Why would Pete lie about something like that?!!

Knowing Pete, he probably counted the employees working at the hotel as well and everyone within earshot of the banquet was so mesmerized by what they were hearing that they couldn't wait to be new monthly contributors to Americans for Lies.
