Local Homophobia

[SolInvictus]

Hello everyone,
events in the local community, a very conservative area, is continuing its propaganda against the LGBT community. Citing that gays try to "convert" others, such as kids (which we all know is untrue).

This saddens and angers me. Dr. King said "we must fight hate with aggressive love." Yet, how do we fight ignorance and hatred? Sorry if this is too much of a sensitive topic, but it just distrurbs me that people believe such things... A local conservative pastor said "they go for the young ones."
Despite overwhelming evidence that most pedophiles are heterosexual, how does this nonsense continue?

Last year, a local deaf gay man was murdered just for being gay. Luckily, the murderers were sent to life in prison.

How can this injustice be fought? How can people be educated? How can the lies of the Religious Right be exposed?
