Anti-LGBTQ extremists foaming at the mouth over Equality Act and LGBTQ Pride month

A group called Gone 2 Far (G2F) was “formed to educate the public about the dangers of HR5, the ‘Equality Act’”. They say the act would “promote homosexuality and transgenderism [sic] to children.”

The Equality Act would in fact add protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which already prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, sex and other categories.

The group has announced the formation of “Pride Fall” month in May, citing the biblical warning the “pride comes before a fall.” They say they chose May to counter June being LGBTQ Pride Month.

They also urge members to “reach out to the sexually and gender disordered with the Bible’s message of hope and healing”, citing Leviticus 18:22 as a warning to LGBTQ people. Leviticus 18:22 is the verse that condemns “men who lie with men as with a women”, used by conservative Christians to defend their condemnation of the LGBTQ community and justify discrimination against them.

G2F has created rainbow-themed billboards for use during Pride Fall month. They demand that the LGBTQ “movement” stop using “God’s rainbow as its symbol, because it creates the false impression that God endorses form of sexual conduct which He actually condemns.” The billboard includes the phrase “The rainbow belongs to God!”

A casual observer might think that the name “Gone 2 Far”, rather than applying it to the LGBTQ community, could be a description of the over-the-top actions of this virulently anti-LGBTQ group. On their website, they promote a “proclamation” that brings up about every anti-LGBTQ meme that has ever existed, including HIV/AIDS, pederasty and much much more. The “proclamation” contains 44 “Whereas” clauses.

G2F was formed in January 2019 by a number of anti-LGBTQ activists, including: Paul Blair, pastor of Fairview Baptist Church of Edmond, Oklahoma, who is well known to the Oklahoma LGBTQ community; Scott Lively, a Massachusetts minister who helped promote Uganda’s notorious anti-gay law; Peter LaBarbera, a virulent anti-LGBTQ author and speaker; and Stephen Black, who is supposedly a “former” gay man.

Watch for a lot of noise about the Equality Act from this collection of bigots.
