Israeli MP blames quakes on gays
An Israeli MP has blamed parliament’s tolerance of gays for earthquakes that have rocked the Holy Land recently.
Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas Party, said the tremors had been caused by lawmaking that gave “legitimacy to sodomy”.
Israel decriminalised homosexuality in 1988 and has since passed several laws recognising gay rights.
Two earthquakes shook the region last week and a further four struck in November and December.

Mr Benizri made his comments while addressing a committee of the Israeli parliament, or Knesset, about the country’s readiness for earthquakes.
He called on lawmakers to stop “passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes”.

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much. Show me what you hate and I will show you what you are, or at least what you are afraid you are!

Gay organizations should claim credit when something good happens. For example, if a rainbow appears in the sky, the local gay-straight alliance should put out a press release claiming that it is a sign of God’s approval for the gay lifestyle.
It won’t be any less true than the usual anti-gay claims about God’s wrath in reaction to natural disasters.
