New DVD shows how homosexual activists took control of the city government in a small Christian resort community
And how they plan to do the same in other small towns
Dear ,
AFA has just released a new DVD, “They’re Coming To Your Town.” The DVD shows how a small group of homosexual activists took over the city council in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, and began imposing their homosexual agenda on that community.
For 40 years Eureka Springs has been known as a resort town for Christians. Their Passion Play has been attended by hundreds of thousands of Christians. But the activists are now in the process of turning Eureka Springs into a haven for homosexuals.
“They’re Coming To Your Town” shows how, using deceitfulness and lies, homosexuals maneuvered themselves into positions of power and then used those positions to promote their agenda.
“They’re Coming To Your Town” is an eye-opener to those who are not familiar with how homosexuals use the system to attain their goals. It is a 28-minute DVD, making it perfect for viewing during Sunday School.
I urge you to order the DVD, watch it, then share it with members of your church. Give a copy to your pastor. Click here to view the trailer.

After reading this I had to Google “Homosexual Manifesto”.
Yup. It’s out there.
I there weren’t an incredible undercurrent of evil here, I’d laugh. The sentiment is laughable, but the actual message is just…well, evil.
Uh, wouldn’t the correct response to “They’re Coming To Your Town” be “They’re Already Here”? I’m glad you didn’t provide any link love to them, but I just had to search run a search for it to see if I could find the the video trailer. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a search for “They’re Coming To Your Town” didn’t ranked the AFA site highest in Google, but was disappointed to see the peddling of a F-U-D video that matched the rhetoric of the blog posting.
Originally I pasted in the formatted email, links and all, but not only do they lack empathy and compassion, but they can’t code.
I actually wonder if we shouldn’t show this at church, but I’d have to buy it!
That’s an interesting thought: buying it. At MPOW there’s a special GLBT collection that’s housed in the main library, but is independent of the university library system and is run by a faculty member interested in gender studies and his grad students (none of whom are librarians).
I don’t know if it has a collection policy, but on one level, it makes sense to me that this is the type of material that should be included in such a collection.
Yes, definitely it should be collected. (There’s an article out there about libraries maintained in the wild — how and why they have been established.) I was also thinking (a la carbon offsets) that the video could make a great fundraiser.
Good grief, it would be funny if it was not so ignorant and evil. On the funny level, it sounds like a bad B-movie, or a badly dubbed Godzilla movie. I can hear the guy announcer from the movies now reading the promo. Then again, after recently watching the film _Jesus Camp_, I am not feeling too charitable to people like the AFA. I do agree that in some libraries, it should be collected, if for no other reason than to know your enemy better.
Best, and keep on blogging.
Jesus Camp was made extra-special by the cameo of Ted Haggard.
Hmmmm… almost makes me want to visit Eureka Springs. Think it’s anything like P-town?
Well, if it’s that easy for GLBT folk to get elected to positions of power, it might be!
Okay, forget the Dinah. This spring I’m going to Eureka Springs!
The best part about the email, for me, is the part about the passion play. Imagine how they’d react to Drumheller AB, home to both a passion play and a world-renowned archeological museum.
I visited Eureka Springs for the first time this past September. Very interesting mix of motels and businesses catering to “Christian” bikers and establishments w/little rainbows on their front doors. My partner (female GoldWing rider) felt a little uncomfortable in the bike shops; overall, though, a very artsy and welcoming community. One would never guess that the political machine had been overtaken by aliens
Suddenly I feel as though a trip to Eureka Springs would be a hoot! What a great tourist boom this could be.
Nice. Obviously, you should check this out from your library, not provide any money to those guys. (So obviously, your library should indeed collect it).
But you know, I’ve been looking for a handbook on how to take over a small town and turn it into a haven for homosexuals. Sounds like a good winter project.
By all means! Join us in Eureka Springs. We’ve got a lovely Carnegie library we can turn into a training facility. We love the AFA! Best ad agency we’ve ever had.
Yes, indeedy, the AFA’s doing a fine job of promoting Eureka Springs, AR as the gay mecca of the South. And it is and has been for decades: More than 50 gay-owned businesses, the only Domestic Partnership Registry in the state; gay transit director, building inspector, city clerk; four Diversity Weekends a year and a politically and socially progressive population. The entire Victorian-era town is on the historic register, is an art collector’s paradise and has a nationally-known writers’ colony AND a Carnegie library. The unofficial city motto is “Where misfits fit.” All of which explains why the AFA has targeted us and why we are so delighted by the attention. In addition, what the AFA has really succeeded in doing is shooting itself in the foot by causing “faith-based” tourists to forsake such enterprises as The Great Passion Play while gay and gay-friendly tourists continue to pour in.
Wow, you DO have a writer’s colony, plus an MCC and a UU church — always good signs! Victorians, eh? This could be an interesting weekend trip. Thanks for commenting!
I have a piggyback of the buy-it-and-resell-it idea…why not get some wealthy and politically powerful Eureka Springs homosexual to buy ALL of the videos? I mean ALL OF THEM, and then give them away to state Equality organizations, university LGBT groups, churches like Sandy’s, etc., etc., etc. Yes, the money goes to the organization (bad), but the DVDs get into the “wrong” hands (good)! Bwaaahh ha ha haha! Just look at me “use the system” to attain my goals! And I’m not even gay!
Oh, they’d just print more!
But using it as a fundraiser… hmmm…
I think libraries have to have this in collections somewhere. I think it is like collecting relics of the past - hopefully in two generations or less children won’t believe this stuff was actually produced for genuine purpose. The way kids now look at the Civil Rights Movement photos and artifacts and say disbelievingly/scornfully “you mean they wouldn’t let African American kids use the pool? That’s dumb!” I showed someone in the library an article on the scandal when Clinton White House staffers (I think it was Clinton) were hosting AIDS activitsts and put on gloves and had this high school student say “doesn’t everyone know you can’t get AIDS that way? Were these people idiots?” Well, they do now.
d’ya know, in years past our local Planned Parenthood had a “pledge a picket” fundraiser that was quite successful. Pick a day, week, or month and pledge x amount for the number of picketers outside. There has to be a corollary in there for this kind of fundraiser, too.
Annie, appreciate the sentiments, but the only fund-raiser we need in Eureka Springs, AR is for vacationers–straight and gay–to continue to visit this oasis of enlightenment smack in the middle of the bible belt, thereby proving what a lie the vile AFA video really is. The only thing the AFA has succeeded in doing is driving away the religious extremists. Which is fine, because now the rest of us can live our lives as we see fit in an inclusive and hospitable community endeavoring to lead by example. History is being made here in this historic and offbeat mountaintop village that is, at long last, breaking the oppressive stranglehold of the right-wing bible thugs.
Bravo, then, and rock on to all who make even the smallest path and the tiniest steps needed for each person to live as a full human!
I am glad that you are in a place where you can make a difference. I was, and again am, fortunate enough to have lived, and currently live, in communities where this has not been and will not be an issue. People are valued for their ideas and their willingness to contribute to the well-being of the community.
