\u2014Complained<\/a> about a Burger King ad in Finland marking Pride week in Helsinki in 2020, saying, \u201cThis stunt by Burger King has nothing to do with selling burgers and fries and everything to do with selling perversion and the left\u2019s sexual agenda.\u201d He adds, despite the ad being in Finland, not the United States, \u201cThe question is will cultural Marxism and sexual perversion conquer truth and our Biblical Judeo-Christian values that have made America strong but are now under withering attacks by these leftists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed<\/a> a Pete Buttigieg presidency or vice presidency would be disastrous for Christians. His success in the 2020 Democratic polling was evidence of America\u2019s decline \u201cmorally and spiritually,\u201d and that he\u2019d be a bad role model for children who would \u201cbe indoctrinated even further into thinking that it\u2019s acceptable, normal, and OK that instead of having a first lady or a second lady, we would have, I suppose, a first husband for a man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Called<\/a> Buttigieg\u2019s faith \u201cfake Christianity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Called<\/a> drag queen story hour at public libraries or bookstores \u201cmental rape\u201d of children. He said, \u201cThe left is now willingly putting these children in harm\u2019s way\u2026. They are not telling them the immense health risks of homosexual behavior. So many issues on just health alone, not to mention morality and where the souls of these children are headed if they\u2019re promoted into this sinful lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Organized<\/a> a group of anti-LGBTQ activists to a poorly-attended \u201cRepeal Obergefell\u201d rally in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to assail the marriage equality decision of four years prior.<\/p>\n

\u2014Obergefell, he said<\/a>, was a \u201cwicked\u201d Court decision.<\/p>\n

\u2014The Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a> declared Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) to be a hate group.<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a>: \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: besmirching the good name of \u2018marriage\u2019 by attaching it to unholy, sodomitic relationships is about as far from noble \u2018conservatism\u2019 as you can get. \u2018Gay marriage,\u2019 an oxymoron and an ahistorical absurdity, preserves and conserves nothing for the good. But it does help normalize the revolutionary, misguided idea that homosexual relationships are on a moral par with natural marriage between husband and wife.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Believes<\/a>: \u201cAs America and the West rapidly de-Christianize, the physical, spiritual, and moral threats to our children rise, seemingly in inverse proportion to the expanding godless chaos. The LGBTQ movement, essentially a powerful, well-marketed sin movement, is right up there with radical feminists in tearing down centuries-old norms and our children\u2019s innocence in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014In 2013, gave a speech in Jamaica telling that nation to preserve its laws criminalizing homosexuality.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014In 2011, said<\/a> that \u201corganized evil\u201d and \u201chomosexuality-embracing conservatives\u201d are helping gay Americans drag \u201cAmerica into a cultural pit\u201d and are even more harmful \u201cto the cause of Truth than a thousand burly men in high heels strutting down Main Street.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Went after<\/a> one marriage campaign for being too respectful to gays: \u201cWe need to stop conceding the moral high ground in a fearful bid to appear tolerant\u2019: one pro-family group, Protect Marriage Maine, asserted that \u2018same-sex couples are entitled to respect\u2019\u2014a claim at odds with historic Scriptural teaching. While Christians should respect all persons as made in God\u2019s image, we must never \u2018respect\u2019 behaviors and relationships grounded in sexual sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed<\/a> that when President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton advocate for equal protections for LGBTQ people abroad, they are \u201cspitting in God\u2019s eye.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Called<\/a> equality for gay Americans \u201cone of the most spectacularly successful anti-God movements in human history.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> lesbian Senator Tammy Baldwin is \u201chardly a role model for young women, we want women to embrace marriage and healthy, wholesome behaviors, not lesbianism.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> of gay soldiers affectionately greeting their loved ones: \u201cOnly a decaying society pretends that homosexual relationships are morally equivalent to normal, male-female couples.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Compared<\/a> the alleged dangers of being gay to those of \u201csmoking, alcohol and drug abuse.\u201d Similarly, AFTAH\u2019s website carries essays describing<\/a> being gay as a \u201clethal behavior addiction,\u201d a \u201cdangerous\u201d practice that is \u201cneither normal nor benign.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/a> \u201cold people\u201d know that \u201chomosexuality is evil.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed<\/a> \u201cevery homosexual triumph is a Pyrrhic victory because it elevates a destructive and immoral perversion to the realm of noble-sounding \u2018civil rights.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed<\/a>: \u201cThe homosexual so-called marriage movement is evil…. We need to do what Reagan did with communism, we need to come right out there and say: this movement attaching the God-ordained good of marriage to an abomination which is homosexuality, calling that marriage, that\u2019s evil, it\u2019s an evil movement.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Demanded<\/a>: \u201cFaithful and compassionate Christians must NEVER encourage or sanction homosexual relationships, which are\u2014another hard truth here\u2014essentially the domestication of disordered and sinful behavior, hence destructive to the souls of those involved.\u201d<\/p>\n
