\u2014<\/span>Insisted<\/a> that liberals would support a suspected child rapist if he were gay and his victims were young boys.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Tweeted<\/a> (since deleted) to criticize out presidential candidate and gay Christian, Pete Buttigieg: \u201cI mean if Buttigieg thinks evangelicals should be supporting him instead of Trump, he fundamentally does not understand the roots of Christianity. But then he is an Episcopalian, so he might not actually understand Christianity more than superficially.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Warns<\/a> that LGBTQ nondiscrimination bills will \u201cban Christianity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Insists<\/a>: \u201cThe gay rights movement has been normalized through a well-orchestrated PR campaign\u201d and \u201cIt is hard to convince any sane person that boys can become girls or that snow in April is caused by global warming. So you must be bullied into belief.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Says<\/a> our nation cannot determine evil because we increasingly accept transgender men and women: \u201cA society that looks at a 65-year-old male Olympian and, with a straight face, declares him a her and \u2018a new normal\u2019 cannot have a conversation about mental health or evil because that society no longer distinguishes normal from crazy and evil from good. Our American society has a mental illness\u2014overwhelming narcissism and delusion\u2014and so cannot recognize what crazy or evil looks like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Says<\/a> gay people \u201cmust repent\u201d and \u201cnot act on\u201d their sexuality.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Argued<\/a> that men are dominant, saying, \u201cWe\u2019ve gotten to the point in this country where a lot of feminists who think the male and female roles are completely interchangeable. There is no need for a man to support his family, you\u2019ve got men walking away, women becoming single mothers not by their choice. You got a lot of people thinking this is a lifestyle choice. It isn\u2019t healthy for society when we think that roles of gender can be completely interchangeable. No one\u2019s saying a woman can\u2019t be the breadwinner or even the primary breadwinner. It\u2019s just when they have to be, that\u2019s not a good thing for society.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Claims<\/a> a society that affirms LGBTQ rights is \u201ca society bent on suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>In column titled<\/a> \u201cWhy Not Incest?\u201d (since deleted) claims many current supporters of marriage equality really support things like incest and polygamy, but just lie about it for now: \u201cThe truth is, many, many, many of the same people who are now in support of gay marriage, but would oppose this or polygamy will, once the next step is advanced, support these things too. They just have to lie about it for now until they can shift public opinion further.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Attacks feminists by calling them \u201cugly\u201d<\/a> (\u201ctoo ugly to get a date\u201d; \u201cUgly feminists return to their kitchens\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Said to a caller<\/a>: \u201cI\u2019m still stuck on you not calling them gays because they have nothing to be happy about. That\u2019s actually pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Referred to Michelle Obama as a \u201cMarxist harpy wife.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n
