"Sexual extremists have launched a smear campaign" - WCFuckwits

OMG! Look out! The World Congress of Fuckwits Families reckons there's danger about in Australia. Radical sexual extremists! They go about targeting innocent people who've always been peaceful, smearing their name across the newswires.

Hang on..... smearing their name across the newswires..... oh, well, shoes on the other foot this time isn't it.

This is from the US, an article about those poor dear innocent christians being persecuted by radicals in the land down under. It's a really funny read actually, describing such people as me as being involved in a dastardly evil campaign against them or some shit.

"Radical threats of violence to speakers, participants, and organizers at three prior locations have now created a security risk for high-profile speakers such as Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke where it would be inappropriate to continue to the World Congress of Families event at a fourth venue," said Larry Jacobs. 

Jacobs added: "Attacks on proponents of the natural family and marriage are part of a cynical campaign by sexual extremists to avoid an honest discussion by labelling those who disagree with them as 'hateful.'" 

Unlike the protest groups targeting the World Congress of Families with threats and violence, the World Congress of Families is a recipient of an international peace award, "The Pax Urbis Award" given to institutions and cities in their work in promoting peace. 100 Cities for Peace presented this Peace Award to World Congress of Families in Madrid (2012). 100 Cities for Peace is an international movement that identifies and disseminates the practices of cities and social institutions around the world that are committed to promoting a culture of peace. The movement supports the values behind the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. 

Jacobs continued, "Much of the commentary about the Melbourne WCF Conference has been grossly misleading as sexual extremists have launched a smear campaign alleging that the WCF's goals to affirm the dignity of human life, the sanctity of human life and the importance of the natural family as the fundamental unit of society (from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN in 1948) is hateful and bigoted towards LGBTIQ individuals and mothers." more

Oh my heart bleeds. But just for clarification, the first part of the article quoted is a lie or a mistake. The police shut down the first venue as there were concerns over such a large number of people, traffic, a school very near. The organisers hadn't even arranged liability insurance. The police shut it down for that, nothing else. The language of the article makes it sound like they couldn't find a venue solely because of protests. Truth is they themselves fucked it up right from the start.
