"Your voice is not Christian"

[denny]

Originally spotted in kayha's journal, a link to a lunatic fundamentalist Christian organisation in the UK called 'Christian Voice'. Currently responsible for co-ordinating the complaints against the showing of 'Jerry Springer - The Opera' on BBC2, it appears that in the past they've written to every police force in the country (twice) complaining about the fact that police officers marched with Gay Pride.

The responses to that campaign are worth reading... although the majority of forces take the easy route out and make a bland official statement of 'valuing diversity' or something similar, a few Chief Constables with more testicles than most have more pointed views to offer. Particular points go to the Welsh forces, for the two responses I quote below (emphasis is mine):

I refer to your letters of 8 July and 13 September.

Owing to the unreasonable, inaccurate, and abusive nature of your letters, I am afraid I am unable to provide you with a comprehensive response.

Your voice is not Christian.

Clive Wofendale, Assistant Chief Constable for Mr Richard Brunstrom, Chief Constable, North Wales Police (18 September 2003)

and

As a lifelong practicing Catholic who has seen service in both the military and police force all my working life, I must advise you that I find your views morally offensive and totally reprehensible and I would be grateful if you would cease any further communication with me.

Mr Terence Grange, Chief Constable, Dyfed-Powys Police (14 July 2003)

Absolutely fantastic. Maybe someone could circulate them to the other forces as example replies?

OK, that's made my day.

Followed some of the links and frankly found the views of these people to be extremely scary... They seem to think they can 'cure' homosexuality.

But some good police responces :)

I'd love to see what they wrote to the respective forces, but I can't see it anywhere on their propaganda machinewebsite. Did you?

No, and I did look after reading some of those replies :)
