The following comes from a May 20 story on LifeSiteNews.com.
Longtime comedian Adam Carolla has warned the Hollywood blacklist is back, this time for anyone who runs afoul of homosexual activists. If an artist does not support the homosexual political agenda, Carolla said, “You’re not going to get your movie directed.”
In a recent interview with Salon promoting his new book, President Me: The America That’s In My Head, Carolla said that homosexuals have “just turned into a mafia” and criticized them for “demanding everyone apologize for every joke and retract every statement.”
The drive for censorship has “turned into something that’s bigger than it is,” Carolla added. “I’ve lived in this town my whole life and never seen it like this.”
“There’s plenty of gay people” in Hollywood, “and they’re in positions above you,” Carolla said. “You’re not going to get your movie directed.”
“If you can’t work with gay people, you’re gonna have a difficult time in Hollywood,” Carolla said.
Carolla himself was the target of gay activists’ ire in 2011 after he riffed on his podcast that homosexuals should “shut up” about same-sex “marriage,” because he was tired of hearing about the issue.
He said homosexuals had gone too far, pointing to an internet petition pressuring the makers of the Sesame Street children’s television show to have two male characters – Bert and Ernie – get “married” on the show as evidence. He suggested that self-identified “LGBT” people rebrand themselves with the far simpler “Yuck.”
Carolla told Salon he personally doesn’t care whether same-sex “marriage” becomes legal or not, but he is tired of having the issue constantly forced down his throat. “In the book, what I say about the gay community is that someone sent me ‘the top 10 reasons gays should marry.’” Reasons three through five, he said, were so homosexual activists would shut up….

I have no intention of labeling myself “Yuck” because some comedian, and not a very good one at that, says so! No wonder the anti-gay side is losing.
C & H it was a joke! You sure do give credence to Mr. Carolla’s points though! (read the entire article). If the pro-queer movement is gaining any ground, it has nothing to do with Mr. Carolla’s jokes, it is as he said, however, being gained through your groups mafia like thug tactics.
Those with same sex attraction are not “Yuck”.
Sodomy is “Yuck”.
Well Sandra the truth is that most with same sex attractions are living sodomy, so yea there is a truth to that yuck theory. It is gross two people of the same sex doing stuff. Not natural and there is a choice when it comes to choosing God and His will for those suffering with same sex attractions.
There is that beautiful word called “chaste” Not easy for some but as we all sinners know, that sin isn’t always easy to give up but once we accept Jesus as our savior (and not in our terms but in His holy will demands), then like our Lord has asked “take up your cross and walk with me”. Being chaste also means that one can struggle but being chaste is not to help to lead others into embracing sinful choices. Chastity and even modesty has nothing to do with leading others into sin nor advocating it. The “gay” mafia does not leave room for free will, free will to choose Christianity, because even homosexuals choosing to live chaste, have been made an outcast!
Losing? Losing to evil? Never…Christ will be the victor.
Carolla is a piece of work…he hangs out with peter north…any questions?
Carolla is a human being.
Amen to that Tracy…he is a human being! Many homosexuals are double standard, they will trash those who oppose just so they can have a meal. But its not fair game, cause they will take you down when you are not looking.
The difference is we see the dignity and beauty of those souls who suffer with same sex attraction, we see them worthy of salvation but we do not condone their choosing to embrace actions against the natural law. They are not one bit interested in our salvation, so they will devalue the self worth of any Christian or non Christian, if they do not choose to go against the natural law.
THE MENACING ‘GAY’ MAFIA
JEFF ALLEN on 24 May, 2014
The term “gay mafia” officially entered the American lexicon in 2002 when onetime media mogul and talent scout Michael Ovitz blamed a homosexual cabal, organized by the openly “gay,” backstabbing David Geffen, for toppling the dream company, Artist Management Group, that he founded in 1999.
In a 2002 interview with Vanity Fair, Ovitz shattered the phony veneer of Tinseltown when he broke with protocol and lambasted the “gay mafia” that destroyed him.
Despite later offering an apology, Ovitz – once dubbed “the most powerful man in Hollywood” – was never able to recover from these provocative comments. He was virtually fitted for a new pair of cement shoes and his career was sunk. Today, the man who formerly ruled Hollywood has all but disappeared.
On April 4th of this year, the “gay mafia” again entered the popular discussion during an online-only Overtime segment of Real Time with Bill Maher. After bringing up the controversy surrounding the forced ouster of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich for his $1,000 contribution to California’s Prop 8 traditional marriage effort, the HBO host shocked everyone when he declared,
“I think there is a ‘gay’ mafia. I think if you cross them, you do get whacked.”

Every time a homosexual is elected to public office, it allows them to pass more laws to promote the homosexual agenda. There is already a large voting bloc in California government. When you vote, know whom you’re voting for, not only the person’s party, but also his/her character. The speaker of the California Assembly, Toni Atkins, is an openly homosexual activist. Two of the three candidates for District Attorney in San Diego are openly homosexual. Study the candidates and think before you vote.
You are right, think before you vote. Which is why thinking voters are voting for folks who understand that every person deserves dignity and respect under law.
You are correct YFC more people are voting in satanic politicians under the guise of “respect”……
“Your fellow am here on my own free will” you are one to preach about dignity? While you remove the dignity of people who do not agree with your “gay” policies. Double standard…..
Those who use the law to further their agenda’s away from God, are forgetting that the law does not own souls nor will they be able to tear down what belongs to God. We saw it in the arenas in the Roman years where they were brutalizing Christians as a sport. We had many more martyrs because of such brutality.
Today we don’t have bloody martyrs as much anymore but we do have martyrs in other ways other than blood shed.
Much like ‘thinking’ eaters were convinced that the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden was just as nutritious as other fruits. Forget the side effects. Doesn’t matter in the here and now. We can be like gods!
All that prideful ‘enlightened’ voting is so dimwitted as human beings are limited in their capacity to see the big picture. Especially when it comes to what they perceive are top priorities.
It’s all whom we VOTE for –
Pro-abortion, Pro-sodomy marriage.
Let us not forget that the DEMOCRATIC PARTY of death supports these in the National Platform.
Not only the murder of innocents, but the murder of the Soul for eternity.
No one should receive Holy Communion while in the state of Mortal Sin.
That would be an additional sin of Sacrilege.
“WORTHINESS to RECIEVE HOLY COMMUNION” – General Principles” – Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict)

(There is nothing proportionate to the murder of approx. One Million innocents in the USA each year.)
Catholics are OBLIGATED to VOTE. Vote in every election you are eligible to vote in.
CCC: 2240
When there are 2 bad candidates, always vote for the lessor of the evils.
Sandra .. Just a note here that maybe half the homosexuals getting married are women and we can’t commit sodomy as it’s generally understood.
Yes, we do need to think before we vote! This article clearly illustrates, that we need to “vote” by not supporting movies or TV shows made by “Hollywood” leftists, whether by going to the theater, buying a DVD, or turning on our TV sets at home. Leftists are a minority in this country, yet too many of us would rather be entertained than defund their evil agenda.
Why not just post the original Salon piece? Omitting half a quote changes its meaning considerably. For instance:
“… the top 10 reasons gays should marry. One: They’re American. Two: They pay taxes. Three through five: So they can shut the ____ up. I don’t want to be lying on my deathbed and realize gay marriage and legalization of marijuana is all I discussed the last half of my life.”
Point being: reasons one and two are ample.

If you think Adam Carolla is a sympathetic figure, look up anything he has to say about religion or contraception.
Siollan, I am not a fan of crass comedy, nor of Adam Carolla. But the story is about how the homosexuals in Hollywood have turned into a mafia. You don’t see religious people or those against contraception in Hollywood acting this way, do you?
Acting what way? Even the ‘gay mafia’ comment here is taken out of context, and is fairly innocuous if you read the interview. He’s saying that there are people in positions of power in Hollywood, and if you make disparaging categorical statements about them, it can harm your career. Hw has a kind of juvenile observational style, but he’s not homophobic at all, so I think he’s been taken aback by encountering push back for statements that aren’t meant to be malicious.
Mafia-wise, the same can be said for any group of people. Substitute gays for Armenians, Jews, or any other group… I work for a Middle Eastern company. I would imagine that publicly insulting Muslims would have a chilling effect on my career. Hollywood has always been a gay mecca, and an insider club. If you insult David Geffen, for instance, you probably can ruin your career. But you don’t see a lot of overt racists or anti-semites in the A List.
What is new-ish in the Twitter era is that saying things that are offensive (especially out of context) has a way of becoming viral.
Sollian, you asked me “acting what way”? Re-read the article and you will have the answer to your question.
Sodomite Hollywood recruits through its films and shows. It’s a staple of the left. Read “Capturing the Culture” by Richard Grenier.
We will continue to allow the ways of the world unfold to the wrath of His & Our truthfulness & no one will understand it because it is not known, its a matter of pure consciousness, we the faithful are not of this world, do not judge, but pray!pray!pray! for the poor banished children of eve! pray for the conversion of sinners we are approaching the end of these days! Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done!
WHY ARE MEDIA CONSERVATIVES BUYING THE HOMOSEXUAL PROPAGANDA?
Over the last few years we have witnessed a headlong rush by many conservatives in the media in support of various aspects of the homosexual agenda…
Regardless, it is disturbing to witness their willingness to go along with this trend without even questioning the cultural impact such issues will have. Frankly, it is embarrassing how ignorant many of “our” conservative media stars are when it comes to the homosexual agenda.
Indeed, even Fox News has ignored huge stories that reflect negatively on the homosexual movement and the few times they do cover such stories, it is oftentimes inaccurate or incomplete…
For example, many media conservatives happily use the term “gay” or “gay rights” and the phrase that he or she “has come out of the closet.”
However, such wording assumes people are born homosexual, a myth that not even the pro-homosexual American Psychiatrist Association will support anymore. After years of research, dozens of pro-homosexual scientists have failed to find the homosexual gene and the few that did claim to find it were later discredited for engaging in fraudulent or sloppy methodology. Moreover, Dr. Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project, enlisted over 150 of the world’s top geneticists to decode the human genome and they could not find a “gay” gene. It simply does not exist.Let’s be clear here so that the Fox News crew understands.
“Researchers of fraternal birth order effect argue that sexual orientation correlates with an individual’s number of older brothers. Could this help to explain the homophobia of some traditional religious societies?”

Researchers of the scam pretense that “Ism-Obia” leads to rejection of the Pathological Conga Line of Buggery will push any pretense, to avoid discussing the actual root causes of so much evil – Ephebophile / Pederast Molestation.
Author Tammy Bruce in her book “The Death of Right & Wrong” summed up the main causal relationship to creating new recruits to the cause by saying in her Essay: ‘The Gay Trojan Horse’ (P-111):
“…Frankly, even before the depth of the Catholic Church’s problem became known it was common knowledge that many gay men pursue sexual relationships with adolescent boys.
Why? Based on my experience in the Gay community I believe its due in part to the fact that so many gay men had their first sexual experiences as an adolescent with an adult male.
This tis a traumatic experience, and as long as the wound remains untreated, the victim feels compelled to continually reenact the experience so as to master it or project it on to others.
The other reason actually discussed in the community is that, because of the Aids crisis and the emergences of drug resistant strains of contagions like herpes and gonorrhea, gay men are compelled to seek new untouched young men….”
In a previous edition Bruce warned against treating this type of ephebophile statutory rape as a Coming of Age process, although later editions toned that down – a bit.
Word Salad. The article there was referencing some recent research that suggests there may be an immunological, possibly hormonal cause, at least in a portion of the population. An alternative explanation to genetic makeup.
The cycle of abuse explanation is conventional wisdom, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s true.
“[N]o specific psychosocial or family dynamic cause for homosexuality has been identified, including histories of childhood sexual abuse.
Sexual abuse does not appear to be more prevalent in children who grow up to identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual, than in children who identify as heterosexual.”
American Psychiatric Association (May 2000)
Obviously, the stringing together of unused, unknown, and unkowable words and phrases continues here on CCD. “Researchers of the scam pretense that “Ism-Obia” leads to rejection of the Pathological Conga Line of Buggery will push any pretense, to avoid discussing the actual root causes of so much evil – Ephebophile / Pederast Molestation”. What a crock of verbiage.
L’anon …
I know it’s antidotal but here’s how it went in our family
Brother #1: Straight
Brother # 2 Gay
Brother # 3 Straight
Brother #4 Straight
Twin brothers # 4 & 5 one straight and one gay
Me: Lesbian.
I don’t think we know what determines our sexual orientations and the CCC seems to agree with me. I do worry that science will somehow discover a way to tell what the sexual orientation of a baby in the womb will be, leading to more abortions.
It’s far from definitive. Looks like it only applies to males, and only accounts for 15-29% of them. It’s just an interesting data point, and mostly evidence that there’s something at play other than genes, but possibly still biological.
That article actually mentions the study has had an effect on choosing surrogate parents.
We’re probably only a generation away from entirely engineered children, but thankfully not there yet.
Were the twins fraternal or identical?
You forget mr. mcdermott, that I am a geneticist and your claim that the genome project didn’t find a gay gene is absured. Providing a sequence of the genome, which is what the genome project did, doesn’t in and of itself tell you what those DNA sequences do, let alone whether there is a connection to a particular variant in the population. I wish it did, but genetics is a whole lot more complicated than that.
YFC, Michael said, “a myth that not even the pro-homosexual American Psychiatrist Association will support anymore.” Do you deny this?
Tracy, I would tend to deny anything that you and McDermott conjure up together, just because those so often tend to be -well- tending to the absurd. But I would need more information about what you are asking and what you are saying he said in order to agree with or deny a PARTICULAR PHRASE that he might have said. Find another trap, Tracy, I’m not falling for it.
“Siollan” and “Your Fellow Catholic” (and others): You wrongly cluster concepts here to obfuscate a vitally important truth. It is entirely true and right, for example, that any person and group that believe themselves wronged may say so, and politically advocate for change (even if distateful to many). It is also true that this same person and group — consistent with established contractual, statutory, and constitutional principles and rights — may seek to use economic leverage to protest against those whom they believe commit those wrongs (again, regardless of how the majority of people feel about the person or group). Carolla’s point, however, and it is a very good one, concerns that absence of perspective, restraint, and, ultimately, legal authority by homosexual sexualists, and their enablers and supporters. The simple, but parallel example of the Benham Brothers, is particularly apt. No one should have to bear an ultimate economic penalty — demotion, firing, loss of a present or anticipated economic advantage and the like — for voicing a viewpoint, or voting consistent with their beliefs, or taking any public position that a homosexual sexualist (or enabler or supporter) finds objectionable. It is only a matter of time before legal recourse will find a way to thwart such threats and raw exercises of power. Certainly people should be wise about voicing their views in any number of circles, but is it acceptable for a Catholic to be afraid of saying that they believe that homosexual sex is morally wrong and that homosexual marriage is morally wrong?
SC: Doesn’t it also follow that “No one should have to bear an ultimate economic penalty — demotion, firing, loss of a present or anticipated economic advantage and the like — for voicing a viewpoint, or voting consistent with their beliefs, or taking any public position that” … a conservative culture warrior .. “finds objectionable.” I’m thinking here of Catholic school teacher who write on her blog in favor of ENDA or same sex civil marriage. If you agree, I’m with you!
there might be a point where a homosexual sexualist could actually answer your post, dear St Christopher, if you were to once and for all define what you meant by a homosexual sexualist. Since I am not a homosexual sexualist, I can’t answer your long drawn out ever going on and on post upon post that goes on forever without end.
