\u2014<\/span>Insists<\/a> that American Muslims are becoming more accepting of marriage equality, \u201cbecause Muslims understand that court rulings in favor [sic<\/em>] \u2018same-sex marriage\u2019 make it inevitable that polygamy will soon be permitted in the U.S. It\u2019s a means to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Prior the Supreme Court\u2019s marriage ruling, wrote a column<\/a> wondering if any state would secede from the union as a \u201cPromised Land\u201d for anti-LGBTQ citizens: \u201cIs there one state in 50 that would not only defy the coming abomination, but secede in response? The rewards could be great. I would certainly consider relocating. How about you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>In a column<\/a> where he refers to Caitlyn Jenner by her deadname and \u201chis-her,\u201d he referred to being trans as a choice \u201cto mutilate oneself sexually,\u201d and he insisted that most transgender hate crimes are made up.<\/p>\n

\u2014P<\/span>redicted gays\u2019 \u201ctwisted unions\u201d will \u201cbring down American faster\u201d than anything else.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Because<\/a> of the church\u2019s allowance of same-sex marriages, he called the Presbyterian Church USA an \u201capostate church from hell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Called<\/a> marriage equality for same-sex couples \u201cone of the most radical ideas considered since child sacrifice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>His thoughts regarding<\/a> pro-LGBTQ presidential appointments: \u201cI wonder what kind of database Obama uses to locate people like [openly gay Kevin Jennings and Chai Feldblum]? Is it Monster.com? That would be appropriate. Or is it FreaksUnlimited.com? Maybe Obamanations.com? No, it\u2019s got to be Perverts.gov. I\u2019m telling you, the entire federal government is going to have to be fumigated some day when these deviants and degenerates are finally sent packing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Claimed that<\/a> the August 2011 east coast earthquake was a \u201csign to us of the consequences of disobedience and indifference to our Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Because<\/a> of a law protecting transgender students, wrote the following about California schools: \u201cIf you\u2019ve got kids in California public schools, there are many reasons to pull them out. But this one takes the cake. Don\u2019t wait for your child to be abused. It\u2019s only a matter of time now. Subjecting your kids to California authorities is itself a form of child abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Insinuated that LGBTQ acceptance equals child abuse<\/a>: \u201cWhat\u2019s happening in our society today is nothing short of the active recruitment of children into aberrant sexual lifestyles. We once called this child abuse. But today it\u2019s official state policy\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Wrote<\/a> article claiming to \u201ccite similarity between homosexual activists, Hamas terrorists\u201d: \u201cWhat same-sex marriage advocates and the terrorists of the Gaza Strip have in common is their desire to destroy something they find repulsive. In Gaza, it\u2019s the Jewish state of Israel. Among homosexual activists, it\u2019s the institution of marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Said<\/a> transgender men and women are attempting \u201cto change one\u2019s sexual plumbing in a bizarre and twisted medical mutilation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> homosexuality threatens the nation: \u201cIt\u2019s not only the kind of unrepentant sin that will keep someone from eternal life with God, it\u2019s the kind of sin that defiles the land. It\u2019s the kind of sin that caused the inhabitants of Canaan to be spued [sic] out, opening the door to the nation of Israel. It\u2019s the kind of sin that brings on national judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Wrote<\/a> of President Obama\u2019s support for marriage equality: \u201cAs a man claiming to be America\u2019s leader, Obama has cursed us all. In fact, he himself represents one of those judgments that, I believe, is already upon us as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n
