\u2014Asked America to \u201crepent<\/a> that Dumbledore emerged as a homosexual mentor for Harry Potter.\u201d In the same speech, Swanson said that although the biblical punishment for homosexuality is death, he\u2019d rather Americans have time to repent before such a sentence is delivered to gay people.<\/p>\n

\u2014Endorsed<\/a> the death penalty for gay people.<\/p>\n

\u2014Believes<\/a> God sent a hurricane to Houston, TX, in order to punish the city for \u201csexual perversion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said people should attend gay weddings and tell the participants they are marked for death<\/a>: \u201cAttend the wedding and hold up the sign Leviticus 20:13 word for word: \u2018If a man sleeps with a man as he sleeps with a woman the two of them have committed an abomination and they shall both be put to death.\u2019 You could attend a wedding and hold up that sign.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Suggested country artist Kacey Musgraves would\u2019ve been killed in the past for singing a pro-gay song<\/a> and lamented the change: \u201cIf she had sang [sic] that thing in a country bar in the 1920s or 1880s in Denver, Colorado, somebody would\u2019ve called for a rope…. She would not have made it out of town. In the 1880s, 1920s, 1940s or the 1960s. But things have changed my friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed homosexuality is \u201cdry rot\u201d that always destroys<\/a> civilizations.<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed the Disney movie Frozen is indoctrinating kids into both homosexuality and bestiality<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2014Equated pro-gay law with child sex abuse<\/a> (\u201cJerry Sandusky would appreciate this law\u201d); in same segment, went on to equate homosexuality with cannibalism and ax murder.<\/p>\n

\u2014Again equates same-sex love with cannibalism<\/a>: \u201cSee the problem with this \u2018love\u2019 thing is you can define it anyway you want. Homosexuals love their friends and cannibals love their victims, they taste good. <\/p>\n

\u2014Went after singer Carrie Underwood for supporting equality, calling her support \u201cdisgusting.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
