Fayetteville writer and cable talk-show host Richard Drake gives a no-star rating to the American Family Association's hate-based travelogue about Eureka Springs on his Arkansas Times blog.

«They're Coming to Your Town» tells the story of this small Christian oriented community that was invaded - invaded, I say! - by hordes of godless folk in the 1960s and 1970s. Little by little, they stepped out of the closet and wrenched control of this sleepy burg out of the hands of the holy and into the hands of those who worship at the altar of «diversity.»

Thanks to radio journalist Jacqueline Froelich, KAUF National Public Radio has been the only mainstream media outlet in Arkansas to report on the American Family Association's anti-gay video about Eureka Springs, «They're Coming to Your Town.» Here's a link to her KUAF podcast on the subject:

Wow. All we can say is WOW !

First, we'd like to thank the Academy..whoops, wrong organization. We'd like to thank the Eureka Springs Chamber of Commerce, the Eureka Springs City Advertising and Promotion Commission (CAPC), the tourism CO-OP headed up by the guru general manager of Eureka's Historic Hotels, Rev Phillip aka Flip Wilson, Rev. Vernon Payne, Randy Wolfinbarger of the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks, Marvin Peterson of the Great Passion Play (the Jesus story thing, not the gay men's board game).

Most of all, we would like to thank the American Family Association (AFA) for their generous donation of time, money, and endless never-ending hate of homosexuals to produce a full color, 28 minute (with lots of pretty pictures of Eureka Springs) travelogue movie about how Eureka Springs is being overrun with gays, lesbians, bi's, trans, and their friends and families. It's the greatest gay tourism promotion video we've ever seen.

Today in 1584, January 7th marked the last day of the Bohemian calendar. Today, in 2008, Bohemia lives again. This time in the form of the most sought after cultural lifestyle. So today, we celebrate living in what is becoming a model creative class Bohemian city. Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

And a celebration it is. As news travels far and wider than a Republican stance, Eureka Bohemia Springs is just about bursting with glee over all the free advertising the American Family Ass..ociation or AFAss for short has bestowed upon us with their new movie..»They're Coming To Your Town»

A full color travelogue capturing images of Eureka and spreading the word that bigots of all flavors need to stay away from Eureka. Praise Jeezus, and Hail Mary, pass the clam dip and pour another round of devil juice. Absinthe for all!

The AFA is doing a fine job of promoting Eureka Springs, AR as the Gay Mecca of the South and, here at Gay News, we're delighted with the attention.

We couldn't hope for a better launch to the gay tourism season in Eureka Springs. There are too many online mentions to list, but here are a few of our favorites:

First, from Pandagon:

This just in from the American Family Association, the best ad agency Eureka Springs has ever had: It's the AFA Action Alert announcing the AFA's new movie about Eureka Springs, «They're Coming to Your Town.» If «they» weren't coming to our town before the AFA sent its action alert to its, «3,346,317 supporters strong and growing,» well... it looks like they'll be coming now. Thanks for the free advertising and a great launch to the tourist season, AFA! Keep up the good work.

The Rev. Phil Wilson's leather-clad posse, the Jericho Riders Christian Motorcyle Ministry, returns to town Jan. 4 for another sidewalk cardio workout. They call it a «prayer walk,» though how these bible thugs will be able to do two things at the same time remains to be seen.

It is not yet known whether Wilson will throw another party for them at his First Christian Church of Eureka Springs after they finish braying for divine intervention to keep the town «from worshiping of satan and other gods.»

The Gay News Bureau film crew will be on hand to gather footage for our upcoming video entitled, «Crap, They're Coming To Our Town--Again.»

Jacqueline Froelich, radio journalist from KUAF in Fayetteville, asked me last week what I thought about the American Family Association's new video featuring Eureka Springs and entitled «They're Coming to Your Town.»

«I give it two thumbs down for the title alone,» I said. «It should have been «They're Already IN Your Town, Stupid.»

As sound bites go, it was decent. And, probably, I should have just left it at that. But under Froelich's intense questioning, I blurted out the entire gay agenda for the total domination of Eureka Springs.
