\u2014Criticized<\/a> the Trump administration\u2019s (specious) attempts to decriminalize homosexuality globally saying, \u201cIt is a plain fact that promoting the LGBT agenda will harm the life issues, religious freedom and undermine unalienable rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insisted<\/a>: \u201cGay marriage was about imposing an ideology on the rest of the country. It was about changing the institution of marriage for everyone else. And it was also about getting even with a larger society gays felt had treated them badly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Writes<\/a>: \u201cAbortion lovers. Radical homosexuals. Sexual revolutionaries. They are coming for our children. They want to win our children over for their nefarious causes that come from the very pits of hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Insisted<\/a> LGBTQ activists\/bloggers are] \u201calmost pure evil. And by that I do not mean these people. They are simply deluded by their own bad habits and by the Father of Lies. Even so, they have huge power behind them. And they are busy undermining all that is good and true and beautiful and it has been given to us to stop them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed most Americans would agree with Russia\u2019s anti-gay law<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2014Crassly claimed that federal workplace protections will eliminate job performance requirements<\/a>: \u201cThey don\u2019t even have to know how to type as long as they have lopped off their penises or at least wear dresses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Bemoaned newspapers that illustrate same-sex marriage victories with affectionate same-sex couples<\/a>: \u201cThe day after the decision of the Supreme Court was a full page photograph of two men kissing on USA Today. This is a paper that lands in front of hotel room doors all over the country, this is vacation time, families open that door, children may have opened this door to see two men kissing. They are making us explain things to our children that we don\u2019t want to explain and they know what they\u2019re doing, they absolutely know what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014In an attempt to undermine LGBTQ protections, falsely claimed there are 23 recognized sexual orientations<\/a>, including things like \u201curophilia\u201d and \u201cscatalogia.\u201d In truth, the American Psychiatric Association recognizes these behaviors as paraphilias<\/a>, not orientations.<\/p>\n

\u2014Asserted that \u201cThe Catholic and Mormon groups would simply have to walk away<\/a>\u201c from a Boy Scouts of America that accepts gay youth. This even though the LDS Church came out in favor of the proposal.<\/p>\n

\u2014Wonders why LGBQ people are not \u201cembarrassed\u201d of T<\/a>: \u201cOne of the truly strange things about the gay-rights movement is how free they are with their strangest cousins. You would think that even gay men and lesbians might be rather embarrassed by the T in LGBTQ. But so bold are they, so fearless, that they now lead with the T. Most Americans are rightly put off by such displays of obvious psychological disturbances.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Blamed<\/a> Catholic Church priest sexual abuse atrocities on \u201cThe gaying of the Church.\u201d<\/p>\n
