How Barack/Michelle Obama Are Using Gay Athletes To Promote Homosexuality

And recently they invited the previous no name athlete to "come out", to be their guest by the State of the Union

Jason Collins among first lady’s State of the Union guests



First lady Michelle Obama’s guests for the State of the Union address will include former NBA player Jason Collins and two survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing, the White House announced Monday.

Others joining the first lady for Tuesday night’s speech in the House chamber include the District of Columbia’s 2013 teacher of the year and the fire chief of tornado-ravaged Moore, Okla., as well as a teenager who brought a marshmallow-shooting air cannon to the 2012 White House Science Fair.

Second lady Dr. Jill Biden and White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett will also sit with the first lady.

The guests who join the first lady often help illustrate key points the president makes in his speech. President Barack Obama’s guests last year included family members of the victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting as he demanded that Congress vote on tougher gun laws.

Collins, who spent 12 years years playing professional basketball, drew the praise of the president and first lady after coming out last year in a Sports Illustrated cover story. “He seems like a terrific young man, and I told him I couldn’t be prouder,” the president said soon after he spoke with Collins by phone. In May, the first lady and Collins co-hosted a major Democratic National Committee fundraiser for LGBT donors.

A controversial spin will mark Thursday's Boston Red Sox game against the Texas Rangers with the addition of "Pride" Night at Fenway Park that will include the celebration of "Pride" Week and the first pitch being thrown out by openly gay NBA player Jason Collins, who will also be marching in Boston's Gay "Pride" Parade.

Zineb Curran, the director of corporate communications for the Boston Red Sox, told The Christian Post the organization "extended the invitation to Jason Collins to throw out the ceremonial first pitch to celebrate his courage." She also noted that several groups will be at the game, among them being Boston "Pride", an LGBT organization that promotes Gay "Pride" Week and other events.
This event is a first for Fenway Park, and according to Brian Camenker, president of the pro-family organization MassResistance, public sporting events, especially baseball which he said is traditionally a family event, should be void of LGBT propaganda.
"It's very inappropriate for a sports team that attracts kids to get involved in this movement," Camenker said. "For a professional sports team to promote behavior that's destructive, both socially and medically, is problematic. A baseball game should be one place where people can go to get away from the anti-family agenda." And he predicts there will be a backlash from the public and fans after tonight's game.
Camenker believes that "Pride" Night is being promoted at Fenway Park because the team's owners are liberal and are driving the agenda. Thus far, he said MassResistance has received a lot of support and feedback in opposition to "Pride" Night at Fenway Park. Curran, on the other hand, told CP that she's unsure of fans' response to the Red Sox organization hosting the event.
Sylvain Bruni of Boston "Pride" said that viewers watching the game at home and fans who are at the ballpark will be able to see that "Pride" Week is being recognized by the Boston Red Sox organization with the acknowledgement of Boston "Pride" on the jumbotron, and with Collins throwing out the first pitch.

The Boston "Pride" website also states that the Boston Red Sox will donate a percentage of their proceeds to benefit the LGBT nonprofit organization.
Camenker said his organization is asking the public to call the Boston Red Sox office to let them know they don't support the organization's decision to celebrate Gay "Pride" Week. Which he said includes "obscene events, such as Friday's Boston Dyke March that takes place at a location heavily populated by tourists, who are exposed to vulgar signs" carried by LGBT activists at the parade, which takes places from 7 to 8 p.m., a time when parents are out with their children.

Gay Terrorists Try To Fire Sportscaster Because He's Said Homosexuality Is A Sin


22,045 Gay Terrorists signed this petition

While some media figures have compared gay NBA player Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson, ESPN the Magazine senior writer Chris Broussard refused to support the lifestyle.

Broussard said  “I’m a Christian. I don’t agree with homosexuality, I think it’s a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is. If you’re openly living in unrepentant sin … that’s walking in open rebellion to God.”

Now one liberal political activist organization is calling for ESPN to suspend Broussard for turning “Christian faith into a weapon of anti-gay hatred.”

Michael Sherrard, from the liberal group Faithful America, urged supporters in a MoveOn.org email to sign a petition that calls on ESPN to discipline Broussard.

Christine Quinn Explains How A Gay Basketball Promotes Homosexuality

This happened after much promotion by gay advocates

Washington Wizard’s center Jason Collins recently became the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. And, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who’s vying to become the first openly gay mayor of New York City, is rather happy about it.

“What Jason did today is literally going to save lives,” Ms. Quinn said in a statement. “Because the greatest athletes – who are children’s heroes more than athletes? – are also LGBT and it’s okay.”
After Mr. Collins’ outed himself, Ms. Quinn said, other athletes will feel more comfortable doing the same. In turn, children throughout the country will follow their lead.

“Today, Jason is opening a door for all other athletes moving forward,” she explained. “But let’s think about something else: there will be a day soon when a young boy or a young girl is sitting watching the NBA finals or the Super Bowl or the World Series. And there on the screen will be an openly gay athlete. And that little boy, maybe he thinks he’s gay or maybe he knows he’s gay, and maybe he sat all alone in his room with that. But there will be that athlete on TV, proving to the world that stereotypes don’t matter, but showing others who you are and being true to yourself does.”

Several other mayoral contenders also commented on today’s news.
“Takes a lot of courage to do what [he] did,” former Councilman Sal Albanese wrote on Twitter. “It’s a great day in sports!”
While George McDonald, a Republican, said Mr. Collins is “a courageous athlete and deserves our respect.”

View Ms. Quinn’s complete statement below:
“I admire Jason Collins for his bravery and honesty. It takes a great deal of courage to be who you are, and it is not easy to come out of the closet on any day, in any profession. And we know that professional sports have never been a particularly welcoming place to the LGBT community.
“Today, Jason is opening a door for all other athletes moving forward. But let’s think about something else: there will be a day soon when a young boy or a young girl is sitting watching the NBA finals or the Super Bowl or the World Series. And there on the screen will be an openly gay athlete. And that little boy, maybe he thinks he’s gay or maybe he knows he’s gay, and maybe he sat all alone in his room with that. But there will be that athlete on TV, proving to the world that stereotypes don’t matter, but showing others who you are and being true to yourself does. What Jason did today is literally going to save lives. Because the greatest athletes – who are children’s heroes more than athletes? – are also LGBT and it’s okay.
“Jason’s courageous statement reaffirms what we already know: gay Americans are serving in every walk of life. We still have more work to do, but someday we will look back to Jason Collins’ bravery as a turning point that brought us closer to becoming a nation that fully recognizes we are all created equal.”
