\u2014<\/span>Slurred<\/a> trans soldiers as constituting \u201cthe Corporal Klingerization of the military,\u201d a crude reference to a cisgender male character from the sitcom M*A*S*H who would dress in women\u2019s clothes in order to seem mentally unfit for service.<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Insisted<\/a> that marriage equality involves \u201cstealing the moral capital of marriage and conveying it to other relationships that aren\u2019t anything like it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Referred to<\/a> trans bathroom access as a \u201csmashing bit of insanity\u201d involving \u201cmen who are pretending to be women.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Should the Supreme Court rule in favor of marriage equality, Knight advised his readers to \u201c<\/span>announce loudly and clearly that they won\u2019t go along with this abuse of language ruse<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said President Obama\u2019s support for marriage equality is<\/span> \u201cattacking God\u2019s moral order,\u201d is \u201cthe Devil\u2019s work,\u201d and is \u201ca wicked move.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014Said<\/span> \u201chomosexual activism is the spear point of the larger cultural blitzkrieg.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014Accused LGBTQ activists of supporting inclusive service<\/span> so they would wreck morality<\/a>: \u201cThe military is a bastion of traditional values and symbolizes America\u2019s strength and independence. Opening the ranks to open homosexuality will accomplish the left\u2019s dream\u2014undermining the military and transforming it into a wrecking ball against Judeo-Christian morality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Said those who protested Proposition 8 by making note of the public donor rolls are \u201c<\/span>the closest thing we have to Brownshirts…the prototypical Nazis<\/a>\u201c<\/p>\n

\u2014Claimed that President Obama\u2019s decision to drop defense of the Defense of Marriage Act<\/span> is \u201can impeachable offense<\/a>\u201c; adds about the President\u2019s support for LGBTQ rights: \u201cKing George never tried anything this diabolical<\/a>\u201c <\/p>\n

\u2014<\/span>Said of the film Brokeback Mountain<\/em><\/a>: \u201cIt combines high production values with a lowdown attack on morality. It\u2019s a mockery of the Western genre embodied by every movie cowboy from John Wayne to Gene Autry to Kevin Costner. I can\u2019t think of a more effective way to annoy and alienate most movie-going Americans than to show two cowboys lusting after each other and even smooching\u201d\u2026. \u201cIf it encourages even one confused boy to engage in sex with another male, that makes it an instrument of corruption, not one of enlightenment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Once said<\/span> of movement to \u201cchange\u201d gays<\/a>: \u201cI consider the ex-gay movement a vital element of the revitalization of America itself….
