You want THE most outrageous story of the day this has got to be it. The state of Arkansas is funding a gay bar. Seriously.
A non-profit organization called “Brotha’s and Sistah’s Inc.” (B&S) applied for and received a $50,000 grant as part of an overall $340,419 in grant awarded by the AMHC [Arkansas Minority Health Commission] for HIV/AIDS prevention. The targeted population listed in the application is “Arkansas’ Black LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) Community’s MSM (Men having Sex with Men).”
The B&S grant funded the organization’s operation inside a gay nightclub called Club Good Times on 3910 Asher Avenue in Little Rock that according to the application “caters to the Black SGL (Same Gender Loving) population in Arkansas.” In fact, B&S lists their address as the same address as Club Good Times on their application. The funding was requested mainly for the salaries of three individuals, for the distribution of materials inside the club such as condoms and lubricants, and for renting space from Club Good Times.
Van Helsing of Right Wing News writes: The pretext of course is that paying people to pass out free condoms and lubricants in a gay sex cesspool will fight AIDS. However, if our degenerate rulers had any interest in fighting AIDS, they would stop spending our money to encourage the perverse behavior that spreads the disease.

This is not about rights. This is about the government of Arkansas, last time I checked, no better off than other states, paying $50,000 for people to hand out condoms and literature and for a rent subsidy to a bar.
Gay or straight, how on earth can anyone support this? How is this the proper role of government?
You have no right to receive taxpayer subsidies for recreational sexual activities, you have no right to taxpayer funded literature and condoms.

I guess the Democrats are paying off their voter base – again with Christian monies. Small government is the solution. Please vote and spread the word that it is sinful, a serious wrong doing to support Democrats because it is like voting for the devil to have power to make the laws that will foster immorality.

Sadly, the HIV/AIDS virus passes between the molecules of the condom material. I hope the literature explained this. The answer is that "some protection is better than none" A person would not cross the street with a risk like this, but taking their life in their hands they practise deadly sex. Yes, taxes belong to the taxpayer even while they are administered by the administration.

Arkansas hands out $50,000 for contraceptives to be handed out.
The federal government gives PP $20 Million for contraceptives to be handed out.
I think its time to fight against contraceptives, Catholics.
