\u2014Said<\/a> of gay people: \u201cWhat they [homosexuals] do is filthy. It is so degrading that it is beyond description. And it is their filthy behavior that explains why they are so much more prone to disease.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insisted<\/a> homosexuality \u201cis a miserable lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> the Supreme Court ruling decriminalizing sodomy constituted \u201ca significant explosion that has weakened the infrastructure of our nation, making our collapse inevitable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insisted<\/a> that President Obama\u2019s support for LGBTQ rights paves the way for the Antichrist to come to power.<\/p>\n

\u2014Insisted:<\/a> \u201cA heterosexual shift is a possibility for all homosexuals who are strongly motivated to change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed<\/a> that the Chamber of Commerce\u2019s support for fair LGBT business practices makes it a bigger threat than ISIS.<\/p>\n

\u2014Equated<\/a> marriage equality with incest, bestiality: \u201cIf you are going to redefine marriage to be more inclusive, why stop with two women or two men? Why not be even more inclusive and say marriage can be one man and three women? Who has the right to tell polygamists they can\u2019t express their sexuality? Or what\u2019s to keep a man from marrying his 13-year-old daughter? Or what\u2019s to keep a woman from marrying her cat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Likened<\/a> homosexuality to plugging TV into wrong outlet.<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> the US Supreme Court\u2019s ruling for marriage equality was \u201ctragic\u201d and \u201crepresents a collective shaking of our fists in God\u2019s face saying, \u2018We don\u2019t care what You say about life\u2019s most important relationship. We know best.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Equated<\/a> the supposed unfair treatment of anti-LGBT Christians like himself to the treatment of Jews during the Holocaust.<\/p>\n
