Here’s one I wish was a joke. Spain’s AmbienteG reports that a prominent gay web site in Chile, GayChile, is actually aligned with homophobic evangelical fundamentalists:
Gaychile has gone from being the premiere [LGBT] site in Chile dedicated to defending [the community's] rights to being reported for mistreatment of the gay community. It seems that its creator, Víctor Jorquera, maintains a close relationship with the Biblical Missionary Church of Paraguay, a religious group which claims to be independent of any doctrine. The influence of this institution has made Jorquera not only renounce his own sexuality but also make homophobic comments.
What did he say? Apparently, among other things, he said “From something as miserable and shameful as being gay, I became a son of God.”
As of today, GayChile.com is still online, with news updated just this morning. I wonder if Jorquera is still making money off the traffic of his “shameful” readers who don’t know he’s turned the site into a trap where he hopes to “convert” people from their “lifestyle”.
