What strikes me as hilarious is how they will call for a boycott against a motor corporation, and then effectively creating a situation where (according to the AFA's scenario) *Ford heard from the AFA, then changed its rules*.
They WANT the type of power they ascribe to "g_ys".

They are pulling the same tired crap we have seen from homophobes time and time again. I've talked to people who refused to refer to homosexuals as "gays", ignoring the fact that the ORIGIN of the "gay" reference towards homosexuals didn't come from "gays" in the first place. From "their" description, calling it "gay" is something homosexuals want as a positive association, ignoring the negative connotations like "that's so gay" and others.
I've even seen somebody claim that "homosexual" is a word originated by the gays, claiming that gays created the association from "homo sapien" to make their situation seem more normal.

The people we're talking about aren't normal in their "intelligence" or rationality. Way below average...
Wayyy above normal in their prejudice.
If we had an organization which was so overt as to their prejudice towards Christians as this group is towards gays, the religious right would throw a fit.
(Insert mundane ACLU joke here, ignoring their focus on "separation of church and state" and how they have actually DEFENDED Christianity on many occasions.)
