I see John Smid finally covered up that bare sign in front of his hollow church…

This is perfect.  Almost too good.  If you can’t quite make it out, that’s the god-forsaken Love In Action logo under the LOVE IN ACTION verbiage.  It’s a pink triangle with a heart superimposed on it.  Here it is:

Now I’ve no idea what exactly was on Smid’s mind when he settled on this as his logo, I suspect he thinks he’s somehow slyly co-opting the pink triangle symbol, but whatever was in his foreground thoughts, this is the gutter of his subconscious speaking and it’s almost better then the vacant whitewash that was on the sign previously.

The pink triangle is not a symbol of gay liberation. That would be the Lambda if you’re my generation, or nowadays, the rainbow flag.  When gay people display the pink triangle, we do it as an act of defiance against the hate that sent thousands of homosexuals to the death camps, or we do it as a remembrance of those who died, and those who survived.  We are emphatically not embracing the status the Nazis imposed on homosexuals, that of a dangerous sub human perversion that it was better to exterminate for the good of society.

Recall that the triangle symbols the Nazis used in the concentration camps to identify classes of inmates, were derived from the shape of traffic hazard signs widely in use throughout Germany at the time.  The colored triangles were put onto human beings to identify them, literally, as though they were some kind of hazardous biological waste.  That is the meaning of the pink triangle.  John Smid’s drawing a little heart over it is akin to putting a smiley face on a swastika.

Well…I couldn’t have said it better myself.  The bedrock premise of homosexual conversion therapy is that homosexuals should not exist.  Couched under layer after layer of "love the sinner, hate the sin" bullshit, the bottom line for them is that this world would be a much better place if there were no homosexuals.  And here comes John Smid, to make it all plain as day that what they want to do to us, they mean in love.  Honest…we don’t hate you…we love you…  And to prove it, he’s taken the death camp symbol for homosexuality and put a fuzzy little heart over it.
