\u2014Slurs<\/a> former mayor of Houston: \u201cWe allowed a lesbian mayor to be elected because most of the churches were asleep and just didn\u2019t care,\u201d he said. \u201cThey didn\u2019t understand the consequences of putting somebody in political power, with the authority of the sword, who has literally rejected every element of the created order of God and his word and his moral truths. Why would we expect somebody to act lawfully when they are living lawlessly?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Believes<\/a> transgender people can be \u201ccured\u201d through \u201cBiblical therapy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claims President Obama \u201ccame out against God\u201d when he supported marriage equality<\/a>: \u201cWhen marriage is everything, marriage is nothing. Obama and his radical allies of the sexual diversity agenda cannot redefine marriage, they can only undefine it and destroy it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Refers to LGBTQ equality advocates as \u201cpurveyors of perversion\u201d and equates LGBTQ rights with demolition<\/a>: \u201cJust as the movement itself has morphed from \u2018gay rights\u2019 to the alphabet list shown earlier, non-discrimination is now the hammer used to bludgeon communities into submission by the Purveyors of Perversion. While we\u2019ve argued that \u2018sexual orientation\u2019 is a preference and not determined at birth, they blew right past us to add gender identity, gender expression and now\u2026 genetic information. While we get all worked up about our jobs, the economy and national security, the enemy has successfully destroyed our foundations. Pastor Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Church in Dallas described the mechanics of their recently completed destruction of some old church buildings and how explosive charges were placed at strategic locations in the buildings\u2019 support beams at the foundation level. When the button was pushed, explosions were heard, but nothing happened. At least, not for a few seconds. Then, the buildings simply collapsed on themselves in a pile of rubble. I strongly urge you to watch the video and see these church buildings become nothing more than dust and wreckage. Then think of America following the same course. As these GLBTQIA operatives run for city councils, become mayors, sponsor referendums and carry out an effective takeover of your town, will they take you by surprise since it always happens \u2018somewhere else\u2019? When the dynamite explodes and the \u2018institutions\u2019 collapse, will you find you were too busy just living your own life and doing church to have seen what was coming?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Says of LGBTQ activists<\/a>: \u201cI submit that their conquest is not marriage or gender identity as much as continued perversion of all moral standards, destruction of absolute truth and rejection of the Author of that truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claims LGBTQ rights are \u201cequally offensive\u201d to God as slavery, Jim Crow, and other forms of discrimination against African Americans<\/a>: \u201cIt is hard to imagine how offensive it should be that the civil rights movement and the historic plight of blacks have now been hijacked by those of the lowest levels of sexual deviancy. The tyranny, oppression and evil of slavery, institutional discrimination, \u2018Jim Crow\u2019 laws and the dehumanizing of blacks (all products of rejection of a Christian worldview) were an offense to God. The perversion of man created in His image, the perversion of the marriage covenant and the perversion of justice are equally offensive to Him\u2026. From the depths of my soul, I appeal to black pastors in particular to speak up NOW and stand against this wickedness and evil that has stolen the cause of racial equality and, as the Evil One always does, twisted it into moral decadence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Attacks hate crimes protections, employment nondiscrimination, and inclusive military service with vicious language<\/a>: \u201cWith the victory of adding \u2018sexual orientation\u2019 and \u2018perceived gender identity\u2019 to federal hate-crimes protected classes still hanging freshly upon their scalp pole, the Marxist-driven Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, There-Are-No-Limits movement is rushing forward to their next prey. As the radical sexual-diversity jihad in Congress pushes the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA)\u2014again\u2014as a direct frontal assault on freedom, religious faith, the traditional family and basic moral decency, we are also fighting against the perversion of military readiness by the Obama\/Gates\/Mullen plan to throw the doors open to open sexual deviancy in our armed services.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Viciously attacked the right of LGB people to serve openly in the armed forces<\/a>: \u201c\u2018I will end \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell,\u201d\u2019 Obama said to a standing ovation from the crowd of about 3,000 at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay civil rights advocacy group. If this brass had any brass they would have resigned rather than have a hand in torpedoing the institution they are charged with leading and serving\u2014and therefore our very national security. The stealth attack of moral relativism, feminism, multiculturalism, etc., that have been allowed to creep into our military like the poisonous cloud of chemical weapons is only exacerbated by forcing\u2014and I mean forcing\u2014sexual diversity in the face of our men and women in uniform\u2026. Removing the weakened restraint of don\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell will release GLBTQIA activists onto our soldiers like hound dogs of hell as they use their \u2018victim\u2019 tactics to intimidate their way to full normalization at every level of every service…. What we now have are top military leadership who are so diluted by political correctness that we give Muslim radicals free reign, prosecute Marines and SEALs for doing their job, suppress religious expression\u2014if it happens to be Christian\u2014and now give destructive sexual behavior a promotion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014More attacks on \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u201d repeal and LGBTQ equality in general<\/a>: \u201cDADT is not really about military effectiveness as much as about unleashing the demonic aggression that is now teaching kindergartners about condoms and gender identity full force into the last \u2018masculine\u2019 institution that represents the essence of right and wrong. If homosexuals, lesbians, bisexuals and the gender confused are allowed to \u2018serve openly,\u2019 then they are given carte blanche to demand equality and acceptance at every level of military policy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insists of incest, pedophilia, and consensual same-sex relationships between adults: \u201cGod declares them each sin and therefore equivalent.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n
