Do you agree? Linda Harvey, a radio host and founder of a Christian organization that opposes LGBT rights , says that ”homosexual marriage is wrong because homosexuality is wrong” and it promotes gay sex with “the very young.” Linda Harvey Claims Gay Marriage Promotes Pedophilia Via Raw Story : During her Monday “Mission America” radio broadcast on WRFD, Harvey struggled to understand last month’s marriage equality victories in Maine, Maryland and Washington. “The homosexual lobby is skillful at manipulating public sympathy by tugging on heartstrings while not telling the whole story,” she explained. “Our side sometimes plays right into their hands by also not telling the whole story, even when we get the chance.” “Until we deal with the core issue — the behavior of homosexuality — it was probably only a matter of time before our side would lose a few races,” Harvey opined. “Homosexual marriage is wrong because two men together or two women is intrinsically disordered, the behavior is unnatural. These aren’t activities that are beneficial or healthy. Homosexual marriage is wrong because homosexuality is wrong.” The radio host continued by warning listeners that there were “significant dangers to our youth” from legalized same sex marriage. “One thing our culture does not want if it wants to survive is to have its youth corrupted and this is happening in oh so many ways now, and homosexuality is one more,” she insisted. “And here’s how it works with homosexuality: since no pregnancy threat exists, some people think there’s no reason to prohibit behavior in the young, even the very young.” “And that’s one of the big reasons by homosexual marriage is wrong: because the young are raised on the mores and traditions of the adults and if same sex marriage is accepted, then children will begin to consider dating and forming relationship in these very different ways; ways that will be very destabilizing to many of them and to our society.” Get this broad outta here! People who have sex with the very young are perverts. Their gender preference is irrelevant. Since most pedophiles are not gay then, according to this logic, straight marriage encourages hetero sex with ‘the very young.’
Today is Cyber Monday. Or as those under 35 who shop online all the time anyway call it, Monday. The term Cyber Monday was coined in 2005 by a trade group that noticed online sales spiked the Monday following Thanksgiving, kicking off the holiday season. Silly as the term seems in 2012, the trend is no joke. It’s estimated that this year’s Cyber Monday will be the biggest online shopping day of the year, and in recorded retail history, for the third year in a row. In the next month alone, many businesses can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue. How well retailers fare on Cyber Monday is also significant in that it offers insight into Americans’ evolving habits during the holiday shopping season . With the growth in high speed Internet access and the wide use of smartphones and tablets, people are more enabled to shop online now than ever before. That also means that the shopping could be less dependent on the use of work computers, so it will be interesting to see if today falls short of expectations. Even though Cyber Monday is expected to be the biggest shopping day, industry watchers say it’s just be a matter of time before other days take that ranking. “Of all the benchmark spending days, Thanksgiving itself is growing at the fastest rate, up 128 percent over the last five years,” said Andrew Lipsman of comScore. Still, according to research, Americans are expected to spend $1.5 billion, up 20 percent from last year, as retailers have ramped up Cyber Monday deals. Amazon, which is started its Cyber Monday deals at midnight, is offering as much as 60 percent off a Panasonic VIERA 55-inch TV (usually $1,000). Sears is offering $430 off a Maytag washer and dryer (now $399). And Kmart is offering 75 percent off all of its diamond earrings and $60 off a 12-in-1 multigame table. These are just a few of the many awesome Cyber Monday 2012 deals you could be cashing in on right now instead of reading about them on THG! Go to town!
