'Despicable': website blames Christchurch quake on gay community

A website that claims Christchurch's devastating earthquake was an act of God triggered by the tolerance of homosexual behaviour in the city has been denounced as ''despicable and appalling'' by New Zealand's gay and lesbian community.

The website ''Christchurch Quake'' - registered on September 20 to an address in Utah in the USA - suggests the destruction was a result of ''lesbians running loose on the South Island as if they own the place'' and general ''amoral'' behaviour.

Among other inflammatory accusations, the website alleges that the earlier September earthquake, which coincided with the start of Gay Ski Week in Queenstown, was a warning from God to ''End the Evil - or else!''.

The website claims the September earthquake warning had not been heeded, leading to Tuesday’s 6.3-magnitude earthquake, which has killed at least 76 people, with reports of up to 300 still missing.

It also suggests other natural disasters in New Zealand, including the Pike River mine disaster which killed 29 men in November, was triggered by the country’s relaxed attitudes.

Jay Bennie, who runs the Auckland-based gay and lesbian website GayNz.com, said the people of Christchurch were already under enough stress without reading such outrageous comments.

‘I think it’s despicable, I think it’s appallingly insensitive, not only to gays and lesbians but to the suggestion that the people of Christchurch, by embracing gays and lesbians to certain degrees in their society, have brought this upon themselves. How cruel,’’ he said.

‘‘I’m originally from Christchurch, I’ve got family and friends down there. They’re all okay, but I know the stress they’re going through. They don’t need people like this trying to heap moral judgments and their own personal neuroses onto them and the others who are suffering in Christchurch.’’

Mr Bennie said he believed religious conservatives were responsible for the website, which says Christchurch was founded by a group of devout Anglicans who built for a purpose a cathedral at its centre.

‘‘They wanted to build a city where God was at the centre of their lives, physically and spiritually. Even the name of the city reflects their intention,’’ it says.

Mr Bennie said many religious conservatives lived in the American mid-west, and felt threatened by changing social attitudes.

‘‘The sort of people who do this, my understanding is that they have a tendency to see the world as a very unsafe place for them and their families because of changing social trends,’’ he said.

‘‘This feeds into their sense of doom, the-end-of-the-world-is-nigh kind of possibility, and that gays and lesbians are seen as a particular threat to the family.

‘‘It’s very strong in the American mid-west, as a lot of these conservative, evangelical, Pentecostal kind of religious elements are there, and that that flavour spreads around the world and then pops up in places like New Zealand and Australia and anywhere that there is a disaster that they in their minds can somehow connect.’’

The print was too small, and hard to read.

Geez, just type "God" for f-ck sake.

You won't explode if you type "God".

Typing that "doG" sh!t just makes me believe that you actually believe in that sky spook nonsense.

Can you prove that it WASN'T gods punishment for tolerance of homos?

It might sound abusrd, but then, so did the idea that the earth was round.

Hey didn't you know man made nuclear reactors are the cause ... it is making tectonic plates move faster. Time for a great big tax on nukes.

more heterosexuals have perished in this event, more heterosexuals have lost possessions, and more heterosexuals will be paying higher insurance costs in the future, due to this and other natural disaster and human caused climate change disaster events

God could be punishing heterosexuals for denying Jesus was a spiritual Gay Dude with a dozen boyfriends. God may be pro polygamy.

This is one of the 14 signs of the End Times.

I believe that disasters are God's punishment for man eating meat.

Can you prove that they AREN'T God's punishment for the eating of meat?

like it is impossible to prove the flying spag monster did it too. Basically it's an empty claim from a desperate fundamental group in Utah.

I don't see what gays have to do with it.

There are a lot of rats and cockroaches in Libya at the moment too, according to Gaddafi.

I have it on good (Iranian) authority that earthquakes are caused by infidelity, and immodesty.
