Homophobia is gay?

I used to live in Idaho, not far from a neo-Nazi compound where gay, lesbian, and trans people were routinely harassed. One day, they targeted a Black woman and her young son. But she didn’t back down—she took them to court and won. As a result, the Nazis were forced to surrender their land, their assets—everything. She later burned their compound to the ground.
The moral of the story? Hate has consequences.
Just like during World War II, when the Nazis persecuted Jews, LGBTQ+ people, and political dissidents, their ideology ultimately led to their destruction. That kind of hate once set the world on fire. Millions of innocent women, children, and soldiers died because of antisemitism, homophobia, and political extremism. We cannot let history repeat itself.
🧠 A Hard Truth: Hate Also Has No Skin Color
Let’s get real: Homophobia and transphobia aren’t limited to any one race. Even people of color who promote hate are aligning themselves—whether knowingly or not—with extremist ideologies.
Here’s a fact that might surprise you: There were Black Nazi soldiers.Yes, during World War II, some African soldiers served under Nazi command, particularly in campaigns across North Africa. While their roles were often complex—sometimes involving colonial troops or forced service—the uncomfortable truth remains: people of color were involved in upholding a regime built on hate.
Don’t take my word for it—research it yourself. Google terms like:
"Africans in the Wehrmacht"
"Askari soldiers in WWII"
"Black soldiers who served Nazi Germany"
History is full of contradictions. But here's the point:
If you’re Black and spreading anti-LGBTQ+ hate, many see no difference between you and the white neo-Nazis who wave hate flags today.
Your skin color doesn’t give you a free pass to dehumanize others.
Hate is hate—regardless of who's speaking it. And when you align yourself with oppression, you’re standing with the oppressors.
We say: No more homophobes—because homophobia is fascism in disguise. No more Nazis. No more political extremism hiding behind flags, faith, or false patriotism.
As Arnold Schwarzenegger said, reflecting on his own father—a Nazi officer:
“I’ve seen firsthand how broken people can fall for hateful ideologies... and how they come to regret it. In the end, the Nazis were losers. They lost everything because of their hate.”
Let that be the final word:Hate loses. Always. Let’s make sure it never rises again.
Have you been targeted?
Have you experienced harassment, profiling, defamation, or privacy violations—online or in person—because of your identity?
Have you noticed your name, image, or likeness being used in posts surrounded by firearms, militia symbols, or violent rhetoric? Was your photo or video shared without consent by far-right influencers or hate-based accounts?
We’re calling attention to harassment and intimidation campaigns connected to:
Far-right extremist rhetoric
Anti-LGBTQ+ slurs, disinformation, and propaganda
Coordinated online harassment or doxxing
Profiling by hate groups, government agents, or law enforcement
Invasion of privacy and digital stalking
Surveillance, intimidation, or retaliation by organized crime networks
These threats are often fueled by groups like the Proud Boys, Patriot Front, Gays Against Groomers, Moms for Liberty, white supremacist cells, neo-Nazi factions, Christian nationalist militias, and other extremist movements—including some with direct ties to organized crime and corrupt officials.
You Are Not Alone
Across the country and around the world, watchdogs, religious leaders, journalists, domestic and international intelligence networks, private investigators, and digital freedom advocates are working behind the scenes. Many operate with mottos like “Live Free or Die”—and many are proud straight allies in the fight against hate targeting the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, and Jewish individuals.
You may feel isolated in this war against bullies, bigots, and extremists—but you are not. You are seen. You are valued. You are loved.
And make no mistake: A greater force is watching. And hate groups are being watched.

Legal action is one path—but far from the only one. Many forms of nonviolent resistance, strategic exposure, community organizing, and digital accountability have proven effective in confronting hate groups, extremists, and those who harass or violate rights. Here are powerful methods (besides legal action) to bring them to justice, disrupt their activities, and protect vulnerable communities:
🧭 1. Exposure & Public Accountability
Document & Publish Evidence: Collect screenshots, videos, statements, and patterns of behavior. Publish them through trusted watchdogs, journalists, or public platforms.
Name & Shame (with caution): Many extremists thrive in secrecy. Responsible exposure can cost them jobs, public standing, and access to resources.
Contact Employers/Organizations: If perpetrators are affiliated with businesses, schools, or public institutions, report them. Many organizations have zero-tolerance policies for hate speech or harassment.
🧠 2. Digital Countermeasures
Report & Deplatform: Coordinate reporting of hate content on social media to get accounts suspended. Platforms often act faster under pressure or when public attention is involved.
SEO Flooding: Push positive or factual content to dominate search results associated with hate groups or individuals, pushing their propaganda lower in visibility.
OSINT & Doxing (Ethical, Legal Caution): Trained open-source intelligence (OSINT) professionals can uncover extremist networks using only publicly available data. Some cases have been broken open by Redditors or researchers alone.
🔥 3. Strategic Nonviolent Direct Action
Counter-Protests & Community Presence: Peaceful resistance at extremist rallies sends a message of unity and visibility—and often drives media attention toward the hate, not the silence.
Art & Culture: Public murals, viral campaigns, music, and storytelling can reframe narratives and empower marginalized voices.
Boycotts & Economic Pressure: Defund hate. Cut ties with businesses, media, or platforms that enable extremist messaging.
🕵️ 4. Partnership with Watchdogs & Allies
Work with Anti-Hate Groups: Partner with groups like the SPLC, ADL, NAACP, GLAAD, or Human Rights Campaign to investigate and report patterns.
Faith-Based & Interfaith Coalitions: Religious communities have immense organizing power and moral authority. Many oppose hate-based violence and can help build bridges.
Digital Rights Orgs: Groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and Fight for the Future help protect people from surveillance, harassment, and cyber abuse.
📡 5. Surveillance and Intelligence Cooperation
Tip Lines & Whistleblowing: Extremist violence often leaves a trail. Anonymous tips to local or federal law enforcement, watchdog organizations, or international intelligence bodies can be critical.
Watchdog Hubs: Help build or support “guardian angel” networks that monitor extremist forums, encrypted channels, or militias for signs of mobilization or threat.
💬 6. Storytelling & Testimony
Amplify Survivor Voices: Firsthand accounts are powerful. They humanize the issue and can trigger public outcry.
Media Advocacy: Write op-eds, give interviews, or support documentary projects that spotlight injustice and amplify resistance.
🛡️ 7. Build Safe, Empowered Communities
Mutual Aid & Protection Networks: Create systems of safety—escort services, hotlines, resource exchanges, rapid response to threats.
Education & Prevention: Invest in anti-racist, anti-homophobic, and anti-extremist education at schools, churches, workplaces, and online.
Remember:
Justice doesn’t only live in the courtroom. It lives in visibility, resistance, truth-telling, and unity. Every action—however small—adds weight to the movement.

Let Love Lead: A Summer Reflection on Faith, Truth & LGBTQ+ Dignity
By DJ Evan McIntyre | ClubEvan.com
“Judge not, that ye be not judged.” — Matthew 7:1“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” — John 8:7
My mom always told me I was going to be special. At first, I panicked—“Oh no, I’m going to end up a preacher.” But life had a different plan: I became a DJ. Still, her words stayed with me.
One day she told me, “Read the Book of John. You’re going to be like him—not a prophet, not better than anyone else—but someone who shines a light on the life and words of Jesus.” And maybe that’s exactly what I’m doing now.
I believe everything happens for a reason. If you believe in God, maybe you were meant to read this. Maybe this is how He’s reaching you today.
✝️ It’s 2025. We Know Better. It’s Time to Do Better.
I’m not here to condemn anyone—but I am here to speak truth with love.
I’ve seen too many so-called Christians bash LGBTQ+ people while hiding behind scripture they barely understand. If that’s you, this post is your mirror.
Let’s get one thing straight:Jesus never condemned gay or trans people—not once.But He did condemn hypocrisy, greed, and religious pride.
Ask yourself:
Does Jesus love all the children of the world?
Do you sin more or less than me?
🙏 What the Bible Actually Says
People love quoting Leviticus to attack others but ignore that it also says:
Don’t eat shrimp (Leviticus 11:10)
Don’t wear mixed fabrics (Leviticus 19:19)
Don’t get tattoos (Leviticus 19:28)
You can own slaves (Leviticus 25:44–46)
If you cherry-pick the Old Testament to justify hate, you're not reading the Bible—you’re weaponizing it.
The New Testament—the teachings of Jesus—tells a different story:
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” — John 15:12
⚠️ The Psychology of Homophobia
Here’s what science says:
A 2012 study in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that:
People who reported high levels of homophobia also showed strong same-sex attraction on psychological tests—often without admitting it.
Researchers at the University of Rochester concluded:
“Homophobic attitudes may stem from latent homosexual desires combined with authoritarian upbringing or religious guilt.” — Weinstein et al.
Other studies support the same pattern:The loudest anti-gay voices are often consumed by the very thing they condemn. It’s projection. It’s fear. It’s obsession.
History proves it:
Sen. Larry Craig (Idaho): Anti-gay voting record. Arrested for lewd conduct in a men’s restroom.
Pastor Ted Haggard: Preached against homosexuality. Exposed for drug use and sex with a male escort.
When your identity depends on judging others, it’s usually hiding something deeper.
🏳️🌈 LGBTQ+ History: Stonewall & Strength
You think bullying works? Look up Stonewall.
In 1969, NYPD officers raided gay bars in NYC and beat people just for existing. But this time, the community fought back—trans women, drag queens, and gay men led the charge. The Stonewall Riots became the spark for the global Pride movement.
It wasn’t a party.It was a revolution of survival.
And those you bully today? Many are freedom fighters—queer, trans, or allies—working behind the scenes in culture, law, media, tech, and society.
You’re not just punching down.You’re fighting history—and history has never sided with hate.
💥 Secret Sins & Public Hypocrisy
In the digital world, secrets surface.
If you’ve condemned gay people while hiding your own sin, don’t be surprised when the truth comes out. Jesus didn’t teach public shame—He taught humility.
Ask yourself:
Do I sin? (We all do.)
Have I judged someone I don’t even know?
Do I use religion to feel superior—or to love better?
🕊️ If You Love God, Love People
Jesus walked with the sick, the poor, the lepers, the outcasts.He didn’t tweet condemnation. He washed feet.
“Whatever you did for one of the least of these... you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40
If you:
Bash the gay community
Support hateful politicians
Demonize people who are different
You’re not walking with Christ. You’re walking with the Pharisees.
💡 Change Starts Now
You don’t have to stay stuck in hate or fear. You can:
Get educated: Read real theology—not memes.
Become an ally: Join groups like PFLAG or volunteer at a local LGBTQ+ center.
Build real friendships: Talk to someone in the community.
Look inward: Heal your own wounds before casting stones.
I’m not perfect.I’ve wrestled with my identity and my faith. I’ve dated men and women. But here’s what I know:
God’s love is not small.His grace is not exclusive.His message is not hate.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
🌈 Final Word
If you’re one of those people who say,“I hate the sin, but love the sinner”—stop.
Worry about your own sins.Clean your porch before criticizing your neighbor’s.
And remember:
Love conquers all.
Hate is a prison.
Homophobia is not holy—it’s a sickness.
💖 This Summer: Let Love Lead.
Be bold. Be kind. Be free. Join the Pride 2025 celebration—or at least, stop the condemnation.
