Did you know that you can get automatic notfication when someone replies to you or when new articles are posted? Set up auto-notification now! The Gay Blade is a shining example of how morons like Jack Chick have a twisted and stereotyped perception of the world around them. It's almost like looking at the world through a Dali painting.
Ok, so the guy on the left is obviously balding here so there's no doubt
in our minds that this guy is a guy. Of course, since gay people are
noisy and obnoxious, he says "I do!" with a big exclamation point to
irritate Christians. I think the minister is supposed to look Catholic,
as Chick is well known to despise Catholics (all going to hell, etc).

Oh my god, it's Abraham Lincoln! Abe Lincoln married a gay guy! What
happened to these guys' hair anyway? One of them is balding, and the guy
throwing rice looks like he just leapt out of a really bad 70's cop show,
complete with the big tinted glasses. The guy on the left is tilting his
head slightly so he looks more expressive (gay) and has his hands folded
to irritate Christians.

Uhh...Let me make sure I state this loud and clear, because I don't want
anyone to miss it:
NO SELF-RESPECTING GAY MAN WOULD DRESS LIKE
THIS OR DO THIS TO HIS HAIR. What is this guy thinking? How did
these guys make their hair so big? Is that an eyeball in the hair of the
guy on the left? Once again, tinted big glasses. Ruffled shirts, and a
bandanna too (gay==hippy?). In this we are treated to a mother fulfilling
the Christian dream of instilling anti-gay prejudice in her son by
totally freaking out as though Satan himself were jacking off in front of
their very eyes.

What a lovely image Chick is painting here of the world people like him
are responsible for! Gee, Jack, why do you suppose it is that the lives
of gay people are so dismal and tragic? Could it be because the church
persecutes them senselessly? Several bandanas again, big hair, big tinted
glasses on the right side near the back, and a few gays who appear to be
from the planet Vulcan!

MY GOD THEY LET THE HOMOS
SPEAK? That's horrible! Note
that our lesbian has the same tinted glasses the guy with the big hair
two frames ago had. She's an angry lesbian too! Proud of it! The
horror!

Now we find out that not only can gay people
talk but
they have
jobs too! Somehow they appear to be
participating in society! Horror of horrors! Whatever can we do to stop
this homosexual menace?? Jack doesn't give us any references to back up
his statistics, not that the
frequency of homosexuality
is any justification for persecution. Oh, and don't miss the big tinted
glasses!

Somehow I have a hard time believing that a seasoned archaeologist and
scientist would have this type of reaction to a find of this sort. If
their stomachs are so weak that the mere sight of text about buttsex
would make them vomit, how would they react to the bible verse Jack gives
us as a caption about the total obliteration of a society?
Jack goes on to tell the story of Lot, Sodom, etc, suggesting that God
destroyed Sodom because the gay homosexuals who populated the entire city
(?) were going to buttfuck the angels visiting Lot.

There is a serious error here. The biblical passage he's referring to
here doesn't say these men are perverted or homosexual.

Chick embellishes the story some more here. There is no parethetical
"(sexually)" in any translation of the bible I can find.
In the drawing here, we can be sure that these men are not gay! NOBODY IS WEARING BIG TINTED GLASSES!

That's funny... why would Lot be offering virgin daughters to men we are
to presume are homosexual? What good would that do? Are we to believe
that Lot was stupid? The guy on the right is a young Wolverine.
We go on to hear about how the men on the attack were stricken with
blindness.

The guy on the far left is the same as the guy on the far right! Again,
Chick is misquoting the bible (like any good Christian). The actual
wording is "And they struck with blindness the men who were at the door
of the house, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves
groping for the door." The word "homosexual" is not in that sentence.
For a more in-depth and sensible analysis of this story, check out the explanation at fallwell.com. It contains evidence that the sin here was pride and inhospitality, and shows why the crowd could not have been exclusively gay men as Chick suggests (where would the children in the crowd have come from, for example?).
