Does Porno Pete love penis?

He spends hours a day writing about queer sex. He obsesses over bathhouses and back rooms and the kinky things gay men do. And he even goes undercover at the "most purely evil perversion-fests ever invented by mankind," like the International Mr. Leather (IML) convention, which "serves as an annual excuse for 'leathermen' ...  to engage in vile orgies that would make Sodom blush."

"Porno Pete" LaBarbera is president of Americans for Truth (AFT), a group soley interested in battling the gay agenda and its leftist allies. For AFT, the movie "Shrek" promotes gender confusion because of a transexual character, and hate-crimes are merely "manufactured."

Porno Pete is on a mission. He is fighting to limit the power and influence homosexuals have over America. War in Iraq or starving children in Africa are not his concern. His life is all about the gays.

"(I) will be able to devote my full time and energies to Americans for Truth and its goal of educating citizens on the threat that the powerful and well-funded 'GLBT' (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender) movement poses to children, marriage and freedom,” said LaBarbera.

Todd, Mr. Minneapolis Eagle 2000 and self-proclaimed pervert since 1986, questions Porno Pete's true intentions. He wrote to Pete: "For someone opposed to everything IML [International Mr. Leather] stands for … you sure spend an awful lot of time there. Methinks the lady (and I do mean lady, as in girlfriend) doth protest too (and I cannot emphasize too, too much) much. Why don't you just come out of the closet, already (again)? And if you can't, then sit down and shut up. The rest of us don't need to hear any more from someone who doesn't even have the guts to admit who they are." 

Gay or straight, closeted or not, Porno Pete will likely be at the next Fetish Fair or invite-only hotel room piss party. You may not recognize him at first -- he is a master of disguise -- but he'll probably be the guy in the sling with the WWJD tattoo on his ass and digital camera in his hand.
