\u2014Attempted to<\/a> criminalize homosexuality: \u201cThere is conduct that ought to be punished…. And Christianity teaches, has always taught and still does teach, that sodomy is such a behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Compared LGBTQ advocates to \u201cthe devil\u201d and says they are not to be respected<\/a>: \u201cThe truth about the vote this November is that it isn\u2019t a battle between nice people who happen to disagree. It is not important that we respect the devil. It is important that we condemn him, and those who wish to use the sexual instinct in humanity for their own ends. Politicians are using this issue to get re-elected. I\u2019m sick of it. The \u2018pro family\u2019 movement is using it to raise millions of dollars. I\u2019m sick of that also. I don\u2019t want to raise any money. I never did. I want to end the debate. I want to bury this evil, and never have to talk about it again.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a>: \u201cHomosexual marriage is after all, the final swing of the scythe which cuts an already blighted society to the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a>: \u201cThe so-called \u2018gay\u2019 movement is rooted in sorcery and it is a child of the devil, and an enemy of everything that is right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said of the Maine legislature\u2019s \u201809 vote to approve marriage equality<\/a>: \u201cIn May, our elected officials overturned a law of nature, and in its place paid honor to evil and unnatural practices.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Suggested that equality supporters should be \u201ccast into the sea\u201d<\/a>: \u201cDale McCormick is a child of the devil. Betsy Sweet is an enemy of everything that is right. John Baldacci, Angus King, Olympia Snowe, Mike Michaud, Chellie Pingree and Susan Collins all support the homosexual agenda. They support an agenda that is publicly and boldly devoted to training your child through their \u2018public\u2019 schools in the ways of both fornication and transgendering. Jesus went further than Paul in speaking out for children. He said that children of the devil who violate the innocence of our little ones should be cast into the sea with a millstone hung about their neck\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014On gay acceptance<\/a>: \u201cSocietal approval of homosexuality is an extreme form of wickedness that does great harm to everyone, especially vulnerable children.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Linked equal rights to crime<\/a>: \u201cSame sex marriage and the homosexual rights movement go hand-in-hand with urban decay. Chaos in the moral order is reflected in the social order, hence the prevalence of crime and graffiti in Portland, and the tolerance of perversion. All are signs of moral decay…. A society which accepts garbage as art will have no problem accepting perversion as marriage.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a>: \u201cHomosexuality is a sickness.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a>: \u201cSodomy, and those who practice it, choose to live in the darkness. First they convince themselves that evil is good, and then they must convince everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> marriage equality will lead to violence; says he got a concealed gun in anticipation: \u201cIf Maine doesn\u2019t end this decades long conflict over the evil of sodomy with an overwhelming NO vote in November we can expect to see this sort of violence in Maine in the near future. Homosexuality can lead to the most horrific and violent consequences in individuals and society.\u201d<\/p>\n
