“This is entirely right and entirely appropriate. Same-sex behavior is unnatural, it is against the order of nature: you just look at the plumbing and you can tell that, what body parts are designed for what use and you can see right away that this is contrary to nature. So that shows, ladies and gentlemen that it can be done. It shows that this cultural trend that we’re dealing with can be reversed, because for four years it was open season for homosexuals in India and now that drift away from cultural norms and moral norms, that’s been reversed in the country of India … Good law in India upheld by the Supreme Court.”

Bryan Fischer might be right about this. We’re definitely seeing a push-back against gay rights in semi-civilized countries like India and Russia.

@jimbryant:
And I’m sure you welcome it, Rick (oh, I’m sorry, I forgot you go by the name Jim here). You hate the gay community and gay men in general. You love push-back against us because you want to see us miserable and powerless, because for some reason you insist on siding with our oppressors. You hate us and you hate yourself and that shows in every single (and negative) comment you post on this site.

Could someone please show Bryan Fischer that the plumbing DOES fit?

Somehow reality never intrudes on their Bible-based view of the world. (And the Bible isn’t consistent on the topic for that matter. Yeah there’s Leviticus but there’s also the stories of David and Jonathon or Ruth and Naomi, which are pretty clearly gay.)
But here’s what they don’t get. Their opinion of homosexuality is beside the point- it’s not going to go away to suit them or their religious world view. They might as well have an opinion about left-handed people.
That fact is mostly what has motivated acceptance of gay people. It’s actually a natural phenomenon, just IS, and reality doesn’t change, no matter your religious beliefs. So you can either just get over it or keep clinging, unreasonably, to a narrative that denies reality.

@gaym50ish: That cracked me up, thanks.

He looks like he has boner issues and has to focus on gay issues to keep his privates in check. He looks like the kind of person who hits himself in the nuts whenever he has “naughty” thoughts.

Homosexual behavior has been observed in nature in over 400 animal species. Like most things Bryan Fischer says, his claim that homosexuality is unnatural is self evidently false. So is his Sky Monster.
What Mr Fischer fails to realize is that most men, including most gay men, do not constantly think about gay sex in the way that Bryan Fischer does.
“Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much”. Or, for those who don’t like Shakespeare , “What a queen.”

I hope that before he dies he learns that his hate and violence was not worth it.

@Caliban:
True, and if all men accepted their inborn bisexuality and homosexuality, there would be no wars and peace would be established on Earth. Our species would still continue, obviously, but without all the artifice of macho hetero violence – which has DESTROYED our current civilization. That’s what I believe.

So his evidence that he is right, is that in countries that he thinks of as Heathen and 3rd world, they are not accepting gay rights? He needs to get his bigotry in order.
Also additionally, looks like a bit of a scandal brewing with the sellout Johnny Weir. NBC has apparently failed to disclose that Weir may actually work for the Russian Govt.

Me thinks that Mr. Fischer’s knowledge of body parts suggests he needs to take some more anatomy and physiology lessons. Surprise, surprise, the mouth, the anus, and the vagina are all perfectly God designed receptacles for a penis. And contrary to nature? What nature is he referring to. The nature the rest of us live in homosexuality is very common in over 1000 species and counting. But then again, phobic personalities aren’t not necessarily known for being smart.

He is Bwahahaha. Brian Fischer is a zero. I’m waiting for his gay lover to come out of the closet. I’m sure he’s friends with Larry Craig. OMG. Hands over face Putin style.

@Deepdow: What a ridiculous claim. You should talk to people on Grindr sometime. We can be kind, intelligent, and sensitive just as we can be cruel, dim-witted, and selfish. There is no reason to believe we are any different in those regards than straights.

Well, you know what they say: “If god had meant for men to be fu**ed, he would have put a hole between their legs.”
