September 15, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Homosexual activists are pressuring PayPal to cut off the accounts of pro-family Christian organizations that oppose the homosexual political agenda and uphold sexual morality, and PayPal is showing signs that it may capitulate to their demands.

The homosexual organization behind the effort, All Out, claims that such organizations as Tradition, Family, and Property, and Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), as well as pro-family Christian activist Julio Severo, promote “hate, violence, and intolerance” and are “extremist.”

“Thanks to PayPal, its (sic) easier than ever to send and receive money across currencies and continents – but it is also PayPal’s responsibility to make sure this technology doesn’t fall in the wrong hands. Anti-LGBT extremists all over the world are currently using PayPal to fundraise for their dangerous cause,” writes All Out.   “Not only is it against PayPal’s rules to promote promote ‘hate, violence, [and] racial intolerance,’ hate groups also damage PayPal’s brand and credibility. We ask that PayPal join the fight against online hate and immediately shut down the accounts of anti-LGBT extremist groups using the service.”

All Out says that is has collected almost 35,000 signatures on its online petition.

According to the European homosexual news service PinkNews, PayPal has responded by stating, “We take very seriously any cases where a user has incited hatred, violence or intolerance because of a person’s sexual orientation.”
Although it adds, “we also take into account the rights of free speech and freedom of religion,” PayPal reportedly goes on to note, “we regularly review organisations and websites that use our service, and stop working with those that break our Acceptable Use Policy.”

LifeSiteNews.com has created its own online petition at the website ProFamilyFreedom.net, which states: “I protest the attack by homosexual organizations on Christian activists Julio Severo, Americans for Truth About Homosexualty (AFTAH), and Tradition, Family, and Property (TFP). I encourage PayPal to affirm the right of pro-family organizations to use its service and to reject attacks on the Christian faith and other religions that uphold sexual morality and defend family values.”

The campaign has originated in the US, but could easily transfer this side of the water.  Please sign the petition to stand up for religious values, conscience and free speech.

  2. I notice that my comment hasn’t been posted. Strange how a post entitled ‘Petition freedom of speech’ then goes about prohibiting such things as freedom of speech. Or is freedom of speech on this site limited to spouting superstitious, homophobic garbage?

  3. It’s a theory, certainly. If you’re right, I see the American Tea Party in a different light. And it would lend credence to another theory that the most rabidly homophobic people are those that are afraid of their own homosexuality. Anything you’d like to get of your chest, Stephen? Something that’s possibly been wracking your – for want of a better word – soul all these years?

  4. Thanks for bringing this to my attention – I’ve signed the petition and hope I’ll be able to leave PayPal if they go ahead.

    Hate and intolerance are bad, but not relevant here: sodomy is bad for people & bad for society – look at Genesis 18 & 19, so not hate and intolerance but love and warning.

    PayPal is the intolerant one – look a how they treated WikiLeaks.

    • No. What’s wrong with moderation? This is our website, not a gay atheist forum.
      Start your own website or blog or contribute to a suitable forum if you want to let off steam.
      We shall not inhibit your freedom of expression to do so.
      All we ask is for the same courtesy to be extended to us, and that is what tolerant liberal people appear to find so hard to do.
