Largest U.S. Gay Magazine Furious Over Evangelical Protest Against U.S. Government Effort to Decriminalize Homosexuality Around the World
By Julio
Severo
It is not a small thing when two prominent
U.S. left-wing publications choose to expose and attack you for your conservative
stances. It is a sign that your conservative views are bothering them and having
a good effect.
The latest dissatisfaction and complain
from the left are because U.S. evangelical leaders and I protested over a recent
push by Trump’s State Department to decriminalize homosexuality around the
world. We protested especially because this liberal effort is being led by the
most prominent homosexual activist in the Republican Party and in the Trump
administration, Richard Grenell, who is the U.S. Ambassador to Germany.
Such protest led The Advocate and Right Wing
Watch to make the choice of attacking me. In an article titled “Evangelicals Furious Over Trump Plan to
Decriminalize Homosexuality,” The Advocate, which is the biggest U.S. gay
magazine and boasts, in its own words, of being “The World’s Leading News
Source for LGBT,” said,
In
a commentary for BarbWire, another far-right site, Julio Severo denounced
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a conservative Christian, for supporting
Grenell’s effort, and took the opportunity to accuse LGBTQ people of being a
danger to children.
“Such
push coming from the Trump administration is a shame,” Severo wrote. “Coming
from an evangelical who is the State Secretary, helping homosexual activist
Grenell, is a bigger shame, because he is doing exactly what left-wing
Protestant Hillary Clinton was doing when she was also a State Secretary.”
I have no pleasure in denouncing “evangelical”
Pompeo or any other evangelical advocating any component of the homosexual
agenda. But is not it very strange that Pompeo, whom The Advocate labels as a “conservative
Christian,” needs the biggest U.S. gay magazine to defend him from a Brazilian
conservative evangelical? Is not it strange that The Advocate sides with him
against me?
It is stranger that a powerful gay
magazine had to intervene somewhat to defend the Trump administration from
conservative evangelicals like me.
The Advocate correctly mentioned my view
on homosexuality and violence,
“When
I think about violence and homosexuality, the first thought coming to my mind
is not individuals suffering violence for their sexual lifestyle,” he added.
“The first thinking is children suffering homosexual violence — physical and
psychological. There is a massive effort to cover up the suffering of children
in the hands of homosexual predators.”
Saying, with no evidence, that there is no
connection between homosexuality and sexual abuse of boys, The Advocate added
that I “blamed gay priests for the widespread abuse of children and teens in
the Roman Catholic Church. The church ‘is a living evidence of the gravity of
homosexual violence against children.’”
You can read more of my BarbWire article
that bothered The Advocate here.
Other conservatives exposed in The
Advocate’s story are Massachusetts minister and WorldNetDaily columnist Scott
Lively and Family Research Council president Tony Perkins.
This is not the first time that The
Advocate chose me for attacks. In a June 2017 story, The Advocate called me and
other American conservatives “wingnuts.” You can read my answer to The Advocate
in my article: Reading
the Far Left: Left-Wing Wingnuts Call Conservatives What They Are
In another June 2017 story, The Advocate said,
“BarbWire
contributor, Julio Severo, spent a recent
column excoriating Secretary of State Rex Tillerson for recognizing June as
LGBT Pride Month.”

the Far Left and Its Attack on Breitbart and BarbWire: Gay Perversion, Veiled and
Overt
As
an evangelical, former State Secretary Rex Tillerson proclaimed June 2017 as
“LGBT Pride Month,” and as an evangelical, I denounced
it. Now that current evangelical State Secretary Mike Pompeo proclaimed June 2018 as “LGBTI
Pride Month,” as an evangelical I have also denounced it.
As
a conservative evangelical, it is my Christian duty to denounce evangelicals who
help the homosexual activism. Sadly, two of these evangelicals, Pompeo and Tillerson,
have had the highest post in the State Department, right under the watch of
Trump. In fact, they were appointed by him. And The Advocate thinks that it is
its duty to defend them against me!
It is very interesting that evangelical State
Secretaries Pompeo and Tillerson are not in any The Advocate’s blacklist. But I
am! And as far as it depends on The Advocate, I deserve also to be backlisted
by State Secretaries and their State Department.
These
are not the only attacks of The Advocate against me. In 2011 The Advocate
criticized me because I defended a child and her biological mother against a
homosexual predator. You can read the whole story here: “World’s biggest gay magazine: no
compassion and tolerance for a former lesbian and her daughter.”
The
Advocate is not the only far-left-wing group in the U.S. attacking me.
Julio
Severo is very
upset about the Trump administration’s global effort to decriminalize
homosexuality: “When I think about violence and homosexuality, the first
thought coming to my mind is not individuals suffering violence for their
sexual lifestyle. The first thinking is children suffering homosexual violence
— physical and psychological. There is a massive effort to cover up the
suffering of children in the hands of homosexual predators.”
Other conservatives attacked by Right Wing
Watch were Franklin Graham and BarbWire editor David Jolly.
Right Wing Watch is a project of the
far-left-wing People for the American Way and it has, according to its website,
a special mission to attack conservatives opposed to the gay agenda, abortion
and Muslim ideology.
According to WND,
People for the American Way (PFAW) is “an atheist socialist organization which,
through publications like its ‘Right Wing Watch,’ dedicates itself to the
destruction of conservatives in general.”
Many
prominent U.S. conservative names are in Right Wing Watch’s blacklist. My place
in their blacklist is here.
What do U.S.
conservatives say about Right Wing Watch?
Pat
Robertson, of 700 Club, said, “A nasty group.”
Peter
LaBarbera, of Americans for Truth of Homosexuality, said, “They should call it
People for the Homosexual Way.”
Matt
Barber, the founder of BarbWire, said, “A radical secularist agenda… a socialist
agenda… pushing the culture of death.”
Twenty, ten years ago I was attacked only
by the Brazilian left-wing and homosexualist movement for denouncing the former
Brazilian socialist administrations and their left-wing and homosexualist
policies. The attacks happened especially because I am the author of the book “O
Movimento Homosexual,” published in 1998 by the Brazilian branch of Bethany House
Publishers. This was the first Brazilian book exposing the homosexual movement.
Today I am attacked by the powerful U.S.
left and homosexualist movement, firstly, for denouncing Obama and his left-wing
and homosexualist policies, and now for denouncing Trump’s State Department and
its homosexualist policies.
If I never spared Obama for his homosexualist
policies, why should I spare Trump?
I stand on God’s Word. The Advocate and
Right Wing Watch shall pass away, but God’s Word shall last forever.
