Violent Racist Mormon Beau Jeff Norton
Violent Racist Mormon Beau Jeff Norton
Arizona Mormons posted a photo:
LDS is an organization of hate and violence. As long as you meet their concept of what a person is or are subservient to what they want you are tolerated for the moment. However the LDS must hate someone and you will ultimately be a target of their hate and violence.
An Arizona Mormon man who shouted racial epithets and menaced the manager of a restaurant with a firearm was arrested last week and charged with aggravated assault.
35-year-old Beau Jeff Norton was angry that the restaurant had prepared his to-go order incorrectly on Nov. 13 when he threatened to kill the manager on duty that night. Norton placed an order and left the restaurant in Peoria — a suburb of Phoenix — then returned to the drive-through window and angrily confronted an employee, saying that his order was wrong.
A manager came to the window and informed Norton that his order would be redone if he could pull his truck around and wait. When the manager walked outside with the order, he said Norton was aggressive and confrontational, shouting racial epithets, then leveled a handgun about four inches from the manager’s face saying “I’ll shoot you where you stand,” “go back to Africa,” “go back to Mexico,” as well as other racial comments.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “Mormon” Threat
“We warn that individuals who violate covenants of chastity, who abuse spouse or offspring, or who fail to fulfill family responsibilities will one day stand accountable before God. Further, we warn that the disintegration of the family will bring upon individuals, communities, and nations the calamities foretold by ancient and modern prophets”
This is used to justify abuse of people they believe do not fit their concept of family or their concept of an individual. Their reference to calamities are not calamities of God however calamities of their terrorism as indicated in the following quote.
“We call upon responsible citizens and officers of government everywhere to promote those measures designed to maintain and strengthen the family as the fundamental unit of society.”
This is absolutely against all teachings of Jesus Crist, any “prophet” saying otherwise is a false prophet.
Ad Executives Are Possessed By Demons Who Want Marriage Equality, Says Republican Lawmaker
Ad Executives Are Possessed By Demons Who Want Marriage Equality, Says Republican Lawmaker
Turgid, improbably named wingnut (and Republican Colorado state Rep.) Gordon Klingenschmitt left us with a particularly steaming pile of public access TV this week, with his most recent episode of “Pray In Jesus Name.”
Yes, Gordon James Klingenschmitt, Ph.D — who, much like the guy we hooked up with at The Eagle last Sunday, is nicknamed “Dr. Chaps” — is being a little snit-bitch about a new Zales commercial that prominently features a lesbian couple.

As Dr. Chaps sees it, the only reason this happened is because Zales ad executives were abruptly seized by a gaggle of mischief-making demons, who infiltrated their souls and made them promote marriage equality to please Satan.
Here’s Dr. Chaps’ brain passing gas:
It is a demonic spirit not only inside of the lesbian couple who are pretending to get married in this TV commercial, but now influencing and ruling in the hearts of the ad executives who have decided at Zales Jewelers that they should promote this as a good thing to all of America. They are deceivers, they are fooling the American public and we need to expose this as wrong.”
Later on, he fervently prayed that God will “liberate America from the tyranny of these deceptive images” and promised that Americans will resist Zales’ “attempt to re-educate us.”

Unfortunately, Klingenschmitt’s prayers went unheard, as God was enrapt by the evening prayers of Kendra Debarge, age 7, who beautifully outlined why she deserveds a Melissa & Doug Plush Unicorn for Xmas.

Tom of Finland’s Hypersexualized Drawings Come to Life in Animated DJ Hell Video: WATCH
German DJ-producer DJ Hell’s first new single in three years is out and the video is a sizzling Tom of Finland fever dream that brings the iconic artist Touko Laaksonen’s hypersexualized drawings to life. It’s a full-on collaboration with the Tom of Finland foundation.
Said DJ Hell of the new”I Want U” video:
“My new song ‘I Want U’ centers on love between men. House music emerged from that very early underground club scene in Chicago and New York City, with legendary clubs like The Warehouse and the Paradise Garage. The soundtrack for those nights was presented by DJs like Ron Hardy and Larry Levan, bringing DJ/club culture and gay culture together. With my new album I want to pay tribute to that movement and that time by highlighting Tom’s work.”

A Bright Spot in Hard Times: LGBTQ Workplace Equality
A Bright Spot in Hard Times: LGBTQ Workplace Equality
HRC Senior Vice President for Programs, Research and Training Mary Beth Maxwell penned a piece for the Huffington Post this week on the release HRC’s 2017 Corporate Equality Index and the progress of LGBTQ workplace inclusion across the country.
It reads, in part:
Many of us are still reeling from the results of the November election as people across the country are uncertain about what the future holds. Calls from LGBTQ community members — about hate crimes, increased bullying in schools, fears about the security of our families and marriages, about our loved ones who are immigrants or Muslim — have been rolling in. What does this new Cabinet Secretary nomination mean? Will my transgender child be safe at school? What about my gay brother who serves in the military? Will all our gains be rolled back?
We are in for some of the most historic fights to defend and expand equality for LGBTQ people that the community has ever faced. But we can draw on our own history to remember we have faced very hard times before and that LGBTQ equality will continue to move forward.
Over the last 15 years the Human Rights Campaign Foundation has worked to transform the institutions of daily lives: fostering schools that welcome our kids, ensuring respectful and affordable healthcare, building inclusive communities whether in sports or places of worship or workplaces across the country.
We made change long before laws or elected leaders were on our side and this work is now more important than ever. Our flagship Corporate Equality Index (CEI) – the premiere survey of LGBT-inclusive policies, practices, and benefits in the workplace – was launched in the darkest of legal days for the LGBTQ community; when Lawrence v. Texas had not yet been decided, when Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and the Defense of Marriage Act were the laws of the land, and when lawmakers refused to even pass basic hate crimes protections. But it was in this environment, in 2002, that advocates chose a new path to begin transforming workplaces and building a business case for equality and it has been hugely successful.
This week’s launch of the 15th Corporate Equality Index provided a powerful counterweight to the last year of painful attacks on LGBTQ rights and the dignity of our community. There were 517 major businesses that invested in comprehensive efforts to ensure LGBTQ inclusion in their policies, benefits and practices, earning a 100 percent score. This is the highest number of top-rated businesses in the history of the CEI. In addition, this year saw the largest single-year jump in employers adopting transgender-inclusive healthcare coverage, from 511 to 647, including a full half of the Fortune 500. And 82 percent of the Fortune 500 include gender identity protections, up from just 3 percent when the CEI started. Let that sink in for a moment: a large majority of the nation’s largest businesses have proactively identified the need for fairness in the workplace for transgender employees.
This is momentum that no election can undo or stymie.

Kellyanne Conway: Trump Can Do Celebrity Apprentice ‘In His Spare Time’ – WATCH
Kellyanne Conway: Trump Can Do Celebrity Apprentice ‘In His Spare Time’ – WATCH
Yesterday, Variety reported that Donald Trump would remain Executive Producer of the NBC reality TV series Celebrity Apprentice while serving as President of the United States.
MGM confirmed to Variety that Trump has retained his EP credit on the series. The president-elect’s status on the 15th season of the reality series that made him a household name has been a question since Trump launched his presidential campaign in June 2015. In the credit sequence, Trump’s name will air after that of “Apprentice” creator Mark Burnett and before Schwarzenegger, who is also an exec producer of the new incarnation along with Page Feldman and Eric Van Wagenen.
The larger issue for MGM, NBC, and the White House is the payment that Trump will receive for the series. It’s unclear what his per-episode fee is, but it is likely to be in the low five-figures, at minimum. NBC has ordered eight episodes of “The New Celebrity Apprentice.” Trump’s fees will be paid through MGM, the production entity on the show, not NBC. MGM declined to comment on the financial terms of Trump’s deal.
On CNN’s New Day on Friday, Trump aide Kellyanne Conway defended Trump’s decision, saying, “Presidents have a right to do things in their spare time.”
She added:
“He’s a very transparent guy. Everyone can see what he’s doing, and the fact is that he is conferring with all types of experts who tell him what he can do and not do as president of the United States. If this is one of the approved activities, then perhaps he will consider staying on.”
When questioned if Trump’s time wouldn’t be better spent working on jobs and national security for the American people, Conway replied:
“Were we so concerned about the hours and hours and hours spent on the golf course of the current president?”
Alisyn Camerota responded: “I heard you object to Mr. Obama playing golf. Will Mr. Trump not be playing golf for the next four years?”
