Late at night/thinking of John Galliano: I knew hateful words. Vile words that often poured out of the mouths of people like him and me.


Disgraced fashion designer John Galliano   HERE
I felt very sick watching and listening to John Galliano today as a newly revealed video/audio tape played and featured him uttering vile things to other human beings at a bar in Paris a couple of weeks ago. I shuddered as he mumbled those hateful things and as he slurred then regurgitated out-of-his-mind filth words--nearly full blown insanity words delivered by the active alcoholism that was obviously damaging and driving him.  The booze was tearing him into pieces, demoralizing him as no one else could have and it did it far better and far more destructively than the ¨insults¨ he blubbered...he was trapped, body and soul, John Gallianos bitterly, stridently, howled as he clung to reality, gasped a few final evil words as he lunged all the way down, down, down into the lost-world of incomprehensible demoralization...a place where he, no doubt, has visited before.

John Galliano said the kind of vile things that had a certain ¨ring¨ to me--they held a familiar haunting and shudder-causing ¨feeling¨ in me even though the worst of those ¨utterances¨ stopped spilling out of my own mouth over three decades ago. 

I knew hateful words. Words that often poured out of the mouths of people like him and me. 

This time it is John Galliano who is ¨actively¨ ill. 

I think the out-of-control and unstoppable spewing of hate comes from the down under-everything-else place.  A inside place that is far deeper than any shred of ¨pretend¨ or artificial ¨dignity¨ on the surface that  may be seen/heard attempting to hide the most fearfilled ¨falling off place.¨   The out of control place, the one way trip down to the deepest darkest self-loathing level of personal horror where/when one realizes they can not keep trying to pretend ¨things¨ are different than they really are...a dreaded glimpse of personal reality/loathing and profound pain, the place where one must face/accept the ¨things¨ they can not change and change the things they can change...they can change if he and me are both capable of being honest with ourselves...one day at a time, individually yet together in spirit.

Pray for the addicted, the abusers and for those who are victims of abuse.

Lord have mercy

PERMISSIBLE PREJUDICE: World Citizens are Terrorized by Clergy who Demonize and Politicians who LIE!

LGBT Christians/others have been slandered endlessly!

It´s not hard to believe the depth of the shallowness regarding anti-LGBT ¨witness¨...afterall, we, LGBT people/family/friends, are people, no matter where we live, who have been slandered, made to be outcasts and often abused, persecuted and accused of MAKING OTHER PEOPLE GAY!

Endlessly we´re shamed/blamed RIGHT UP TO NOW in UGANDA HERE, Nigeria and Kenya/beyond! Gay Hate Crimes are being committed daily in Liverpool, U.K. (over the past weekend a off duty Gay Policemen was jumped/beaten by a gang of 13 teeniebopper thugs), Canada, Jamaica and The United States. Italians crank ¨death to gays¨ out with regularity as do murderers in Iraq and Egypt!

Meanwhile: The Pope/accomplices covers/distracts from the fact that most of his priests, bishops and cardinals are gay (celibate perhaps) HERE.

The Church of Englands Archbishop of Canterbury, first amongst equals at The Anglican Communion, wants REALITY to go away (so untidy to address the really painful/bloody issues thrust before him in the world today...particularly by those ¨Americans¨ and their OPENLY GAY Bishop of the diocese of New Hampshire and ALL those female Bishops too)!

The point is: Ignorance knows no borders, no boundries, no class distinction of the educated, or not, and no religious preference amongst ¨certain¨ people...but, never-the-less any REAL FACTS don´t change a thing when LGBT´s are abused, over and over again. Tormented and harmed by many ¨puritan/angry type¨ heterosexuals, and/or extremist religious zealots who feel their exclusive and HOLY WORLD is threatened/ended by the likes of other human beings who love one another and happen to be of the same sex.

When people/citizens are terrorized by the pontificating of clergy, politicians or when family and FRIENDS initiate lies/slurs against OUR LGBT sisters and brothers there are often deadly results. Pay attention! Looking the otherway is being a accessory to the smear campaign...one that can result in a crime of hate or even suicide.

Who is ultimately RESPONSIBLE for the fear/smear-hate campaign? You? Me? Who instigates difference, discrimination, persecution and hate?

BE CLEAR: The perpetrators are NOT the victims just because the abusers are now, or soon will be, forced to face their soulsickness, bitterness, FEAR/HATE-mongering and chronic deceit.

Peter Akinola/Nigeria, PB Venables, Bul/Sudan, Jensen(s)/Sydney join the ranks and mob thinking in todays Ugandan Parliament of David Bahati and Nsaba Buturo.

Simultaneously in Uganda, +Henri Orombi/Anglican Archbishop and ¨the obsessed/righteous¨ and devious/obsessed Mr/Rev. Seempa (and their ¨moneyed¨ U.S. bigot friends) are promoting fear and hate against others. HERE These folks aren´t just sharing ¨personal opinions¨ or quoting Scripture (selectively) or stating plain fact or guarding the ¨morals¨ of the general public. These passionate liars are inventing ugliness against other human beings and condeming LGBT people to further torment, danger and outcasting. Their very dangerous hatefilled words spewnout and deceive are lethal (to themselves and others)...these are the irresponsible, who are currently running unaccountable, but soon will realize, through failure, far reaching consequences of their negative instigating actions against other human beings. They are grossly unwise and these grandstanding men who will find no place to hide in a world aspiring toward TRUTH/REALITY (and dealing with reality honorably, accepting responsibility, when working toward World Peace and Peace of Mind for EVERYONE...yes, everyone does mean everyone.).

I´m constantly made aware that ¨actions have consequences¨ (they sure do for me) and quite often those who unjustly harm others risk the poisoning of their own physical, emotional and spiritual well-being (and their loved ones and friends around them)...endlessly I see the startling results of viciousness directed toward others come back like a boomarang . Karma? God´s Justice? Who knows but TRUTH will be revealed!

Most ¨haters¨ refuse to take RESPONSIBILITY for their previous words/actions...the quality of their self-accountability is denialdriven at the core. These twisters of truth scramble to ¨save face¨ and then skulk about looking for other people or causes to demonize (and feel/look better about themselves)...it´s only a matter of time until fear will ¨fall away¨ from YOUR LGBT family members as there is nothing to fear from LGBT people (Christians or not)...meanwhile, *things* may get more ugly thanks to the LGBT fear/hate-mongering, lie spewing, pompus grandstanders in Uganda, Nigeria, The United States, Canada and other pockets of fear/hate who want BLOOD.

Bigots, hate/fear-mongers, common thugs, feed off one another for validation/community ¨standing¨ and financial support/gain. ON they will go to find new accomplices to hunt down NEW VICTIMS to satisfy their rotting sadistic characters and hunger for their vile ¨deal¨ making ...they will continue to form ¨circles¨ like vultures hoping to encounter a fresh KILL...until, of course there is nowhere to run and nowhere to go to demean/exploit and degrade fellow human beings.

Lord have mercy
