\u2014Author of The Marketing of Evil: How Radicals, Elitists, and Pseudo-Experts Sell Us Corruption Disguised as Freedom<\/em>, which is largely focused on the idea that LGBTQ rights have been \u201csold\u201d to America as part of an evil marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

\u2014Insists<\/a> children are naturally repulsed by LGBTQ people: \u201cWe now have 4-year-old kids in preschool where we have lesbian and transgender teachers…. They go in and they show two women kissing, two men kissing; there is a natural ick factor where children who have not been corrupted say, \u2018Ick, that\u2019s gross.\u2019 I\u2019m sorry, it is gross and the grossness is something that God has put in their mind. People may not like to hear this but it actually is gross and it\u2019s a natural reaction of little innocent kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Links<\/a> the creation of child jihadists to the supposed \u201ccreation\u201d of LGBTQ children: \u201cLittle jihadists are created when, from an early age, they are continually traumatized\u2014indoctrinated daily to hate infidels and see them as less than human\u2014intimidated, degraded, frightened, rewarded, tempted, brutalized, brainwashed, lied to, punished, threatened, and praised (for reinforcement)\u2014until their little developing minds and emotions no longer belong to them. They internalize and act out a completely new implanted identity, utterly foreign to the one with which they were born. If the forces in one child\u2019s life can thus transform him so totally that, when he looks in a mirror, he sees someone with an overwhelming desire to kill \u2018infidels\u2019 in a glorious \u2018martyrdom operation,\u2019 couldn\u2019t the forces in another child\u2019s life (perhaps far more subtle, but nevertheless powerful) transform him or her into a person with feelings, thoughts, and desires he likewise was not born with\u2014including homosexual or transgender feelings?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Says<\/a>: \u201cThe whole transgender issue, which represents the politicization and forced celebration of a severe mental illness\u2014and now, shoving it down the throats of hundreds of millions of Americans, including her school children\u2014is literally insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Compares gay and transgender people to jihadists who murder strangers<\/a>: \u201cConsider for a moment how children in the Arab-Muslim Middle East develop the \u2018mental illness\u2019 of wannabe jihad martyrdom. How exactly do innocent little kids come to be possessed by such overwhelmingly powerful emotions and beliefs that they\u2019re willing to blow themselves up while murdering innocent strangers\u2014and thinking such a despicable crime is the will of God? If I suggested genetics or biochemical imbalances were responsible, you would laugh. <\/p>\n

\u2014Comparing<\/a> the LGBTQ rights movement to a fictional arch-villain, claims LGBT rights is \u201ccorrupting our nation\u2019s core\u201d: \u201cThis particular issue\u2014this revolutionary sexual anarchy movement, which more than any other ideology, including Marxism, Islam or atheism, has the potential of permanently corrupting our nation\u2019s core \u2018operating system\u2019 called the family\u2014is the one issue that almost everybody is afraid to confront … ike Voldemort, the arch-villain so feared by everyone in the \u2018Harry Potter\u2019 stories that they \u2018dare not speak his name,\u2019 almost no one\u2014not Democrats, not Republicans, not churches, not the media (including Fox News), not talk radio (with a few exceptions), not even the big alternative news websites, with the exception of WND\u2014dares speak of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Says<\/a> support for a transgender six-year-old is \u201cghoulish\u201d and in the spirit of Halloween.<\/p>\n

\u2014Claims<\/a> same-sex marriage will lead to five men marrying wastebaskets: \u201cOnce you say that two men can be married and two women can be married you have to say that three men can be married or three women can be married or five men and a wastebasket can be married.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Suggests saying to gay friends about their marriages<\/a>: \u201cI don\u2019t want to be party to further unraveling the fabric of our civilization, one which safeguards your rights and mine, that protects us in an exceedingly dangerous world, a moral foundation rock that\u2019s served us well for thousands of years. For your sake as much as for mine, I\u2019m not willing to throw that away. I hope you understand.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Wrote<\/a> that the Boy Scouts of America\u2019s inclusion of gay scouts was a factor contributing to \u201csuicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Warns that LGBTQ acceptance is going to destroy us<\/a>: \u201cToday\u2019s idiotic and ultimately suicidal national pretense that homosexuality is perfectly normal\u2014that two men or two women can somehow be joined together in holy matrimony, that moral\/religious opposition to this perversity renders you a bigot and a criminal, and that justice is somehow served by forcing a Christian mother to turn over her beloved daughter to a litigious homosexual\u2014all this, my friends, is high mockery of God and His laws. However, \u2018God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.\u2019 (Galatians 6:7 KVJ) If we do not change course, America the Exceptional\u2014the freest, most moral, prosperous, blessed and beloved nation on earth, which millions fought and died to protect\u2014will reap the whirlwind of national disintegration and unimaginable suffering.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Says homosexuality is \u201cunnatural and self-destructive\u201d<\/a>: \u201cIn truth, there is something wrong with homosexuality. Simply put, it is unnatural and self-destructive\u2014just as Western civilization has long understood it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Equates homosexuality with alcoholism and smoking<\/a>: \u201cMost of all, we\u2019ve forgotten as a society what love is because supporting and justifying homosexuality is not real love any more than glorifying drinking helps the alcoholic or celebrating smoking helps wipe out lung cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Describes our LGBTQ accepting society as a \u201cSodom & Gomorrah freak show.\u201d (@ 4:26<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\u2014Says it\u2019s \u201creal love\u201d to \u201cheal\u201d gay people<\/a>: \u201cTo the homosexual living in denial, then, even a loving offer of help from, say, a Christian ex-gay ministry or \u2018reparative therapy\u2019 counselor (to help overcome homosexual addiction) feels like the most vile, abusive hatred. In fact, it\u2019s real love\u2014which we misinterpret as hatred and \u2018bigotry\u2019 simply because it causes us to confront a truth that is not welcome in us…. Remember, our conflicts contain the seeds of redemption\u2014that is, as long as we know we have a problem, there\u2019s hope for a change. But if we deny there\u2019s a problem, we are literally robbed of the chance to find healing. That\u2019s exactly what America has done in buying into the \u2018gay rights movement.\u2019 We have betrayed our homosexual brothers and sisters. Glorifying dysfunctionality and corruption, we have relieved homosexuals of the inner conflict they once felt over their condition\u2014something they desperately need, indeed all of us need, if we\u2019re ever going to overcome our problems and find wholeness\u2026. The most loving stance for others to take is not to serve as enablers of self-destructive and immoral compulsions, but to stand in patient but firm opposition. In other words, we need to side with the afflicted person\u2019s conscience. In America, we\u2019ve done the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Says<\/a> LGBTQ rights activists are \u201cforces of corruption\u201d: \u201cStop giving permission for the forces of corruption and confusion to transform your country so that your children grow up in a land unrecognizable to our founding fathers.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2014Compares<\/a> transgender people to anorexics: \u201cWhether it\u2019s the anorexic or transgender individual staring intently into the mirror and seeing the exact opposite of reality, or countless other people in similar straits tormented from within, our minds are\u2014to put it inelegantly\u2014capable of lying to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Calls<\/a> marriage equality \u201cthe most bizarre perversion of human civilization\u2019s core institution.\u201d<\/p>\n
