Broken Yoke Ministry heals gays by helping them find God

I could hardly believe it when I saw it today.  After logging in to LinkedIn, I was greeted by a request to join one of the aviation groups I administer for work.  Bob Van Domelan's request to join this professional aerospace networking group is currently pending while I pontificate how I will deal with him.

Because my industry can be highly competitive, it is necessary to do some background research on each request to join these groups.  The last thing we want is for one of our competitors to join our group and market their events; this would be harvesting our database of customers - naughty, naughty practice.  So, naturally, I perform an Internet search on each person that requests to join the group.

I was astonished to find that Reverend Domelan's LinkedIn profile lists his work as "Broken Yoke Ministries."  I thought...hmmm...ministry?  Why would a ministry and a reverend be interested in joining an aviation group?  I gave him the benefit of the doubt and set out to do some research.  He very well could have been a pilot, and operations director for an airline - something.  Nope.  That wasn't the case.  Reverend Domelan is just that - a Reverend for a Wisconsin-based ministry.  Quoted from their Web site:

This ministry seeks to support those who struggle with same-gender attraction and believe that such behavior is incompatible with God's design for their lives.

After perusing the online pages of Broken Yoke Ministries, I found testimonials from homos who claim to have now found God and discovered the err of their ways.  I'll bet you a whopping buck if you were to meet any of these homos-gone-breeder types, they would all spray you with their lisps and shake your hand with their limp wrists.

I don't know about you, but I'm just a little tired of all these ministries and groups that claim to "cure" homosexuality.  In the end, it's all pure brainwashing.  Hiding your hatred behind the smoke and mirrors of religion is a nasty and despicable practice.  People of faith who act this way should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

Check out Broken Yoke Ministries and see for yourself just how much people in the back woods really hate things they can't understand.  You will discover that the ministry has an upcoming conference in Wisconsin.  I think a protest is in order.

Ben & Jerry's Renames Ice Cream to Hubby Hubby in Support of Gay Marriage in Vermont

BURLINGTON, Vt.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ben & Jerry’s, known for its euphoric ice cream flavors and dedication to social justice, celebrates the beginning of the freedom to marry for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont with the symbolic renaming of its well-known ice cream flavor “Chubby Hubby” to “Hubby Hubby.” In partnership with Freedom to Marry, Ben & Jerry’s aims to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality and, to show its support, will serve “Hubby Hubby” sundaes in Vermont Scoop Shops throughout the month of September.

Ben & Jerry’s has a long history of commitment to social justice, including gay rights. Its partnership with Freedom to Marry, a national leader in the movement for marriage equality, aims to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality and to encourage other states to follow the blazing trails of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Maine. Freedom to Marry promotes the national conversation about why marriage equality matters and brings together partner organizations into a larger whole – a shared civil rights campaign.

“At the core of Ben & Jerry’s values, we believe that social justice can and should be something that every human being is entitled to,” said Walt Freese, Chief Executive Officer of Ben & Jerry’s. “From the very beginning of our 30 year history, we have supported equal rights for all people. The legalization of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction and something worth celebrating with peace, love and plenty of ice cream.”

To kick off the celebration, Ben & Jerry’s and Freedom to Marry will be publicly supporting the first marriages of gay and lesbian couples in Vermont and raising awareness for marriage equality and how to take action by driving consumers to www.freedomtomarry.org. By logging onto the site, people can show their support, sign a Marriage Resolution Petition, have conversations about why marriage matters and learn more about how they can support the cause.

“It’s not polite to talk with your mouth full, but the most important thing that all us ice cream lovers can do to support the freedom to marry is speak with the people we know about why marriage matters and the need to end marriage discrimination in every state”,” said Evan Wolfson, executive director of Freedom to Marry. “Thanks to Ben & Jerry’s, starting those needed conversations has never been sweeter – and thanks to Freedom to Marry, we all now have a great excuse to eat more ice cream.”
