CWA and NCSF

Some friends and I were chatting the other night about choosing a BDSM Conference to go to sometime this year and they mentioned the Concerned Women of America .............a group I have never heard of. So, today I did some research on them. Their website is chock full of rhetoric and propaganda to slander just about any group that is not fully aligned with Christian values and the family.

Particularly concerning has been their ability to halt some great BDSM Conferences by putting pressure on the host hotel chain. Unfortunately, its worked in some cases. Most ammusing are their undercover reports of some conferences that they attended that not only promoted BDSM--"sadomasochistic perversions" but also homosexuality.............heavens to betsy!

Rather that allowing people to choose how they want to express their love, their sexuality, and yes, even their perversions, this group of concerned ladies wants to clamp down on everything and anything that might be outside of boring, missionary sex within marriage...........*gag*

What I find funny is that while their "undercover" reporter, who went to a conference, was appalled at some of what she saw and heard, she gave great reviews of some of the workshops and made Me sad that I was unable to attend. Its unfortunate that she decided not to go to the Dungeon Party that night because now I don't know what great scenes happened!

Here is an interesting post they made about the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom: Great Press! I'll be joining the NCSF ASAP!

"Activists with the NCSF, with its headquarters just off K Street in downtown Washington, D.C., are crisscrossing the country, meeting with police departments to “educate” them on why they should not make arrests at violent, sadomasochistic “play parties” — often held in basement “dungeons” — because the activity is “consensual.”
NCSF now works closely with leading homosexual and “transgender” groups including the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) — which is helping it craft a winning media message — the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, and GenderPAC. NCSF hopes to piggyback on the success of the “gay rights” movement to mainstream S&M and other perversions, or at least the “right” to engage in them.
USES ‘FREEDOM’ RHETORICLike the pornographers that it defends, the NCSF uses all-American language to promote its cause.
Just as pornographers use the First Amendment to defend the sale of porn, NCSF hopes to expand the realm of “free speech” to other “sexual areas,” including “sex enterprises, sexual-purpose clubs and educational and social groups.” If they succeed, it would limit the ability of citizens to keep sex clubs catering to sadomasochists, “swingers’” or other perversions out of their neighborhood and away from their children.
According to its Web site, NCSF describes itself as:
a national organization committed to protecting freedom of expression among consenting adults. Based in Washington, D.C., NCSF works through legal initiatives, lobbying, outreach, and education to promote greater understanding of sexuality and human rights. Founded in 1997, NCSF mobilizes diverse grassroots communities to help change antiquated and unfair sex laws, and to protect free speech and advance privacy rights. NCSF is dedicated to ensuring that all consenting adults can express their sexuality freely and openly, without fear.
Among its constituencies, NCSF lists sadomasochists, “transgenders,” transsexuals, intersex (people born with atypical sexual anatomies), “swingers” (e.g., married couples who exchange spouses at sex parties), and “polyamorists” (people who engage in multiple, simultaneous sexual relationships).
