Reading this a few minutes ago just gave me that feeling. It also made me feel like the stampede that killed Mufasa (R.I.P.) also stomped all over my stomach and already fragile positive worldview.
The post has the look and feel of a really distressingly-certain zealot with creepily-specific accusations about the gay community.
That is a good thing, because it is a thinly disguised parody of a crazy Bible-wielding, yet also strangely bi-curious and vaguely sexually deviant individual with a seething distaste for gay people 'urrrywhurrrr. <Z-snap>
While such fantastic bits of writing as "Gays will find any excuse to lick the musky candy sac of another man," (as Facebook friends specifically quoted to me) are indeed hysterical, I'm only concerned by this article because for me, it was literally two absurd sentences away from passing as real. (Something tells me your average gay-bashing blogger wouldn't know how to use the term "power bottom" correctly.)
Again, kudos to the writers at christwire.org for being so convincing, but really, if you're a religious devotee who believes gays are Satanic anus-worshipers (and that's not even being fair to the lesbians)...you might actually find yourself agreeing with some of these statements, and that's a scary thought.
That having been said, I'm reading on because I want to know if atheists really ARE Satanic androids, and also what a "Manifesto Against Dandy Dukes" entails.
Isn't it sad that by calling attention to the stereotypes, there are people who use those jokes as fodder for reinforcing them? If only the world were more sensitive to sarcasm than it is to batshit craziness. We can only be funny for so long!
I suggest that humanity abandons its differences in favor of mutually hating something that NOBODY likes, say, mosquitoes, or cancer, or miniature cans of Coke priced like actual cans of Coke. Now those are some causes I could get behind!
Down with mini-Cokes,

Very well said although I don't quite understand exactly what your stance is. Your writing style made me want to read on, which is in-itself, a commendation.
