There has been a lot of gay-bashing by church people lately. It’s a little disheartening. OK, it’s very disheartening.
There’s this: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/04/tim-rabon-north-carolina-pastor-gay-marriage-_n_1478735.html
He’s trotting out the old nutcase argument that if we allowed gay people to marry each other then of course people would want to marry their family pets, or apparently, other animals. This is truly nuts. If gay people were allowed to marry, then of course people (both gay and straight) would want to start marrying their cars and end tables, so goes the (???) logic (???).
And then there’s this wise soul, http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/21/north-carolina-pastor-gay-rant-starvation_n_1533463.html, who simply likes the idea of putting gay people into electrified-fence pens. Does this approach remind you of Adolph Hitler? Yep.
This poor woman doesn’t even know how to pronounce polyamory. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/21/north-carolina-pastor-gay-rant-starvation_n_1533463.html#s=1002368 She’s just sad.
Then there was this pastor, who suggested that parents beat the gay out of their children: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/01/north-carolina-pastor-sea_n_1468618.html
And there was this guy, who makes amazing claims about sexual activity. Apparently he’s not concerned about the impact on straight people who practice sodomy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/18/patrick-wooden-north-carolina-pastor-gay-men-diaper_n_1212929.html
It’s all so amazing. And so mindless.
