The gay community gets blamed for all sorts of things. Seems like rarely a day goes by without an outburst from one person or another about how the “gays ruin everything”. No, really, that’s a genuine quote .
But looking closer at the sort of things aimed at them, could it be that there’s some truth and actually the people who sound like they are just shouting loudly because they have a platform actually have a point?
With that in mind, here are a few things the gay community has been blamed for ruining…*
Fashion
Homosexuals love fashion, look at them with all of their extravagant outfits and tight trousers. In fact, they’re doing it so they can get everyone in tight pants because “they’d like that”.
Anthony Morris III, a senior member of the Jehovah's Witnesses, has warned of the risk of them succeeding.
“What’s happened now is that it’s really caught on more – the tight suit jacket and the tight pants. Better known as tight pants. They are tight all the way down to the ankles. It’s not appropriate. It’s not sound of mind.
“The homosexuals that are designing these clothes – they’d like you in tight pants.
“There’s really nothing else to say about it. Now you want to be in your home or your room and wear that stuff that’s your business.
“But don’t go out like that and say you worship the true God.”
Rupert Everett’s career
Actor Rupert Everett has strong views about whether young actors should come out because of what happened to him.
“'The fact is that you could not be, and still cannot be, a 25-year-old homosexual trying to make it in the British film business or the American film business or even the Italian film business,” he told the Guardian .
“It just doesn't work and you're going to hit a brick wall at some point. You're going to manage to make it roll for a certain amount of time, but at the first sign of failure, they'll cut you right off.
“And I'm sick of saying: ‘Yes, it's probably my own fault.’ Because I've always tried to make it work and when it stops working somewhere, I try to make it work somewhere else.
“But the fact of the matter is, and I don't care who disagrees, it doesn't work if you're gay.”
The Roman Empire
Roberto De Mattei, the deputy head of Italy’s National Research Council believes that the Romans conquering Carthage, “a paradise for homosexuals’, fatally weakened the Empire.
"The abhorrent presence of a few gays infected a good part of the (Roman) people," Prof Mattei told Radio Maria, a Catholic radio station.
With that, it seems that homosexuals have the power to bring down empires, if he’s right of course.
The weather
Former UKIP councillor David Silvester said that prime minister David Cameron, when pushing for the legalisation of gay marriage, had acted "arrogantly against the Gospel".
"The scriptures make it abundantly clear,” he wrote, “that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters such as storms, disease, pestilence and war."
The word gay
“It used to have a perfectly innocent meaning, happy,” writes Yahoo user Chris .
“A ‘gay affair’ used to mean a party at which one had a good time. Now it's ruined and dirty. Why did they have to do that?”
Why gays, why?
The Two Towers and life pre-9/11
God wanted to punish America with 9/11 for people with immoral lifestyles and give them "probably what they deserve", And people, including the gay community "helped that happen".
Well erm, that’s all there is to say about that.
British culture
British culture has been ruined by all manner of things, says the BNP. And who's to say that they're not telling the truth?
They know who is to blame (along with the Zionists, the media, the capitalists, the bankers and politicians):
‘The militant homosexuals who pushed for gay marriage and gay adoption in order to destroy the traditional family unit,’ one speaker in a BNP video says.
The sanctity of marriage
“So-called ‘gay marriage’ is a counterfeit - a mockery of legitimate marriage,” writes Matt Barber.
“It’s like taking a rotten apple, spray-painting it orange and then calling it an orange.
“‘Same-sex marriage’ is no more real marriage than a rotten apple is an orange. It’s mock marriage.
Gay marriage will “destroy America as we know it”, he says.
Well, glad that’s settled then.
But wait, it could all be Lady Gaga’s fault?
“I think Lady Gaga is ruining ‘us’,” writes Christopher Vitale, associate professor of media studies at the Pratt Institute, New York.
“I think its time we get over her, and get over gay culture. And by us I mean all of us – gay, straight, and others. Lady Gaga is a symptom of a huge problem.
“Lady Gaga-ites and dominant society often deny themselves [fulfillment and satisfaction]. We need the ability to be serious, because there are different pleasures to be had, and we are limiting ourselves if we cannot be earnest as well as fun and ‘fabulous’.”
We await the #blameGaga hashtag with baited breath.
*Just in case anyone didn’t understand the satire, this is not actually saying that the homosexual community has ruined anything. It’s mocking all those people who actually believe that people with a non-heterosexual lifestyle actually cause any of these things.
