City Council Lady Beth Supports LGBT Community!!! Stands Up To Hate Speech!!!



Here's something to think about on a Friday night for folks unlucky enough to be reading blogs right now . . .

It's not okay for serious politicos to talk trash about different races or genders but when it comes to the LGBT folks . . . Everything is fair game and there are no political consequences for smacking that group around . . . I'll have to file that info away for later. To wit, the Council's decision yesterday is still causing controversy and we'll have to wait and see if there's any pushback . . . EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Anyhoo . . . The bright spot in all of this is that Council Lady Gottstein stood up for one of her key constituencies in the biggest fight over 5k Kansas City has ever seen.

Here's a money quote from the Council Lady in an e-mail that was sent wide. The e-mail was primarily sent to Bishop Tolbert who organized the Life Changers. This particular passage concerns the most controversial figure in the Life Changers Conference and one of the reasons so many folks objected to Kansas City funding the event:
"Prophet Todd Hall, one of your guest speakers, has a record of hate speech against specific universes, specifically our lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender brothers and sisters. I am confident that you would never permit Prophet Hall to preach hate from your pulpit. The passion with which you engage to find common ground amongst diffuse communities has set a new standard for many. Yet, Prophet Hall’s message is one of judgment and condemnation. I cannot support taxpayer dollars for an event which promotes a voice so contrary to yours and mine."
Read the rest of the missive that KICKASS TKC TIPSTERS intercepted.

What's fun about all of this is that Kansas City's diverse communities are usually at each other's throat and this note confirms that there is no love lost between the African-American Community and the LGBT community . . . At least no love except on the downlow.

  3. Rumor has it that some in the gay community are very interested in digging into Tolbert's background looking into his financial dealings, whether he's been schtuping members of his congregation (or either sex), etc., etc.

    Tolbert should hope that he has a very clean nose (or is very good about hiding things he doesn't want to see come out).

    All you liberals are going to Hell. I am proud of Councilwoman Cindy Circo for shepherding this money through a system that was biased against a Black man in order to protect people who are doomed to Hell by the Word.

    Homosexuals are filthy and not worth the cost of the fat and liquids that can be rendered from their bodies by the heat of fire and brimstone.

  5. Thank you, Bishop Tolbert.

    By the way, how many in your congregation have ever chowed down on your jesus-rod? Did you shoot your holy load down their throats?

  6. I lost a lot of respect for the council on this one.

  7. The Jews have aligned themselves with the homosexuals to undermine the Christian Majority. It is very ugly.

  8. Who are these religious zealots that are trolling TKC? Are they here for the soft-porn and happen to find something that gets their dander up?

    Seriously - all of these pious commenters have no business visiting TKC - oh yeah, I forgot they are all a bunch of hypocrites and if there really was a "Jesus" he would be ashamed of them according to his "Words"...

    The more I know - the more I know I don't know.

  9. Look at what Sophia is dealing with over at her new blog "League of Extraordinary Nobodies:"

    "Pleased With Mark's Victory said...

    Mark is heading for re-election and his wife will be an even stronger and more active advisor in the the second term.

    Probably the most important aspect of their new destiny is that they have turned away from the Democrat Party, which is dominated by somomites, Jews and socialists.

    In my opinion that was an evil group is full of hatred and the false witness of Karl Marx.

    Mark and his wife a full of love and spirit.

    The City Council is a confused and immoral group. They nearly did the bidding of filthy homosexuals by banning the Word from Kansas City.

    Yet, thanks to the leadership of Mark, Cindy Circo, John Sharp and even Melba Curls we were able to stand up to the homosexual lobby, which is aided by Jewish liberals who by definition turn their eyes away from Christ.

    Good luck with your blog Sophia but please do not be perceived by the easy, candy-coated answers that the liberal special interests have to offer.

    Again, best of luck and may the Lord be with you."

    Since Funk and Gloria formally left the Democratic Party they have attracted this crowd.

    I can't stand that the council did not stand up for people who are in their own offices. Gay people are everywhere. Get over it.

  11. 10:17 That commenter is really scary, there are so many contradictions in those eight paragraphs...

    " The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

  14. Again, who IS the "gay community" in this town other than a handful of vocal lesbians and the A-list (they think) crowd of wealthy, white men who run the Gay Chorus?

    Most gays in KC are in the closet or just don't care about this issue. There is no "gay community" in Kansas City.

  15. Anon 10:17. I'm about 70% certain that you wrote that comment yourself and then quoted it here with the intention of making Funkhouser look bad through association. Even odder than religious zealots commenting here at TKC is a religious zealot having the slightest clue that my blog exists.

  16. Sophia, don't be so sure. The right-wing wingnuts are the only base Funk has left.
