When homophobic Pastor Randy Bryson of the Open Door Baptist Church in Easley, S.C. forgot to renew his hate group’s domain name, a gay rights activist swooped in to purchase it.
Bryson and his clan have a reputation in South Carolina for picketing gay-friendly events, college campuses, and gay rights rallies with signs damning “unclean” homosexuals to hell. They’re sort of like a slightly less crazy version of the Westboro Baptist Church. (Note the emphasis on the word “slightly.”) In the past, Bryson has often referred to himself and his fellow church members as “street preachers” who are simply trying to “fulfill the scripture.”

Warningsofwrath.com used to direct people to the Open Door Baptist Church’s webpage. Now, thanks to one clever man, visitors of the website are redirected to a very, very NSFW hardcore gay XXX site called scaryfuckers.com that depicts videos of tattooed skinheads pounding each other from behind, engaging in cream pie orgies, and inserting icepicks into their urethras, among other things.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“They condemned gays and rock music outside Carolina Rebellion,” the man who purchased the domain said. “I bought the (unexpectedly expired) domain from their signs and pointed it at gay porn of people who probably like rock music. Fair?”
We’d say so.
Updated- the site has since become unavailable

“Warningsofwrath.com” does sound like more of porn name anyway, or a heavy metal name.

This is brilliant.

I agree that it is funny that these nutters get taken to a hard core porn site. However, don’t you think it will just confirm their opinions that we are depraved sexual deviants?
musctop
@andrewl: …Sure, because you think their opinion is going to change anytime soon??

LMAO.
That is so funny.
Karma has come a calling. LOL.

If that’s a picture of Pastor Bryson, I’d go on my knees too.

Gives the name “Open Door Baptist Church” a hole new meaning.
Oops, did I write hole? The devil made me do it.

808Skinhead
As a true Skinhead, I find that site insulting to my subculture.
I’m sick of the stigma that if your queer and a skinhead, then you must be into freaky sex s*it.
And after all the HA HA HA’s have died down, wouldn’t it logically have been better to redirect it to a site with a more compelling message. All this is doing reaffirming one of many stereotypes.
Michael Barnett
Pity they didn’t redirect to a site offering support for people in the closet. Using a hard core porn site will further stigmatise homosexuality and reinforce the attitude that homosexuality is a perversion.
Robert Frantz
ROTFL
John Eccker
LOL!
Kangol
LOL but that site, Whoa!
edwardnvirginia
@Michael Barnett: EXACTLY! … or perhaps redirected to a website showing gay, lesbian, and transgender Christians reading scriptures supportive of LGBT?!
Redirecting to pornography will change NO minds and offer NO support or kindness to anyone and MAY cause some gay Christian people to go deeper into self-loathing and/or to do self-harm.
Another way to consider this episode: If an anti-Semitic group lost its domain what would we think if an interloper took over the domain and redirected it to a site showing Jews laughing it up in a concentration camp?
Trevor Quandt
That is pretty amazing
Bradley Engeldinger
Ummm

I really believe these people just act like this because it earns them big bucks.
When you see these televangelists on your idiot box, take a good look at how big their audience is. It’s no different than Lady Gaga gettin up on stage and shakin’ her vocal cords and fanny. Perhaps that’s a cynical way of looking it, but it happens to be the truth. These people are multi-millionaires or otherwise make a very fine living. It’s a show, that tons of people pay for. Spirit has little if any to do with it

@edwardnvirginia: my thoughts exactly as you and @Michael Barnett. Nothing good will come of this.
There are so many instances in which this prank (is it safe to call it that?) would be appropriate. This is not one of those times. And it isn’t about not having a sense of humor, because if you heard what comes out of my mouth every other minute, you’d think I’d approve of this. No, this instance would have been the perfect opportunity to do something for the greater good of the community instead of hurting it.
It’s embarrassing.

sure…he forgot to renew his domain name.

Karma? This is just stupidity. There’s nothing funny or commendable about this! A lot of gay men are weak queens who want to force everyone to like them for sucking dick. Suck dick and don’t be apologetic about it if that’s you want. But trying to shove your shit down other people’s throats ain’t helping your cause.
stranded
@Blazipitous: I slightly agree with you, i mean, i would rather it lead to an article about gay tolerance, or lbgtqnatiom.org, something to reach their minds and their hearts.

To all those advocating hateful responses – and some of you are advocating illegal and/or criminal responses! : remember the truth attributed to Gandhi:
‘an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind’.
To all those who are justifying hateful responses as if that were ‘karma’ apparently haven’t the faintest understanding of the metaphysical meaning of karma – in the original Pali language of Theravada Buddhist scriptures, ‘kamma’ – “kamma is not actually the deed, good or bad, but that mental state that accompanies or that arises in the mind of a person who does the good or bad, or wholesome or unwholesome deed … as a mental state, it arises and disappears immediately, because according to the teachings of the Buddha, whether it is a mental state or a material state, it arises and immediately it disappears. But unlike other mental states, when it disappears it leaves some potential … when conditions are favorable for that kamma to give results, the results are produced.”
Karma/kamma is NOT an act of retribution that is the ‘pop culture’ notion going around this blog. Karma/kamma is a mental energy that creates potential for continuing effects. So, the hateful mental energy created in the bloggers or actors seeking or doing retribution becomes a potentional for hateful/unwholesome effects for them at some time later.
Some acts, and mental energies, are wholesome and some are not. Decide which you want to live with.
Some of the responses in the blog have suggested wholesome acts: e.g. linking the homophobic website to website with affirming spiritual or affirming psychological information for LGBTQ and/or site that provide helpful ways to be affirming allies of LGBTQ.
Mark Stanley Bridges-Music
I still think that all that does in reinforce their perception of gay men as nothing more than sex crazed perverts. Why not redirect it to http://www.glbthistory.org/ or another site that provides real information about the GLBT experience.

I just believe homosexuality is wrong no matter what form it is.God is dissapointed in people who sin and this one is a BIGGIE!To each their own opinion.

@God Fearing Christian: Don’t worry. We won’t tell God you’re reading Queerty. 😉

Bob-A Massena
@Bob-A Massena: GOD is on my side as well as in me.She will look after me as the wicked shows itself in many forms.OH……and just by some of your dirty bird language…..well …….I’ll pray for you and maybe you’ll get judged at the pearly gates

@andrewl: Um. You mean…exactly what we are? Lighten up, prude.
Moose437
Honestly, I think the BEST action would have been to redirect people to a site that tells us about how ALL sins are considered equal in the eyes of God. From there, let’s go to some of the other sins noted in the Bible. For example, divorce. How about smoking? Masturbation. Coveting your neighbor’s property. Vanity. Gluttony. How many of you so-called Christians are looking at the ceiling, walls, and floor, right about now?
Dochan
@edwardnvirginia: You do realize that NOTHING is going to change these people’s minds no matter what you do right? I mean if it was that easy then we will not have the trouble we do today. I find nothing wrong with what the person did as it’s no where near as bad as what bigots like these people do.
