Did anyone else witness this diabolical event? I caught about 1/2 hour as that was all I could take. This was a “faith” event with numerous clergy. Among the lowest lowlights of Robinson’s speech were the following:
- It makes sense that the homosexual movement and the “reproductive rights” movement are joined because members in both movements have been persecuted by straight white men.
- Straight white men have made all the decisions over the years and that is what this rebellion is about (it’s not about complete acceptance of grave immorality).
- Robinson and others live in fear that conservative Christians will shoot him - he likened his plight to that of Buffalo abortion doctor Slepian who was shot in his home.
- Robinson says both groups need to take back the Bible.
- The current president is too black and white like all conservatives. Truth, in fact, can by combining person A’s truth and person B’s truth and meeting in the middle somewhere.
- Robinson likened his plight to that of the Israelites in escaping Egpyt. First, he was “enslaved” as a heterosexual. Then he escaped but is still in the wilderness for not being accepted. (I don’t know if he realized how ironic that analogy is, considering how much of Egypt is still in Robinson and that he left his wife and kids to “escape”).
- He only came to true understanding of the plight of abortionists when he came out of the closet. It was only then that he could feel their pain. Now, he doesn’t understand how straight white men can relate to both of their plights. However, he did find one example of how this could be done. A 19 year old white male came up to him and told him how. He said “First, I listened to you Mr. Robinson. Then, I believed!” Robinson thought this was revolutionary.
