It was only a matter of time before some right wing whack job compares homosexuals to the recent gruesome face-eating cannibal attack in Miami. Bryan Fischer, the crotchety spokesman for the hate group American Family Association, claims that it’s time “to reclaim and rehabilitate the word ‘discriminate,’ particularly when it comes to homosexual behavior.”
Fischer notoriously demonizes homosexuality. In his latest tirade, he not only classically equates homosexuality to pedophilia, rape and bestiality, but now adds a brand-spanking new, timely, ever so trendy comparison:
Public policy is about discriminating against behaviors that are socially destructive and corrosive to the social fabric.So, we rightly discriminate against people who rip off convenience stores, burgle houses, drive while drunk, eat the faces off homeless people [emphasis ours], gun down servicemen on military bases, embezzle funds from employers or clients, or beat their wives.
…
The point is this: we discriminate against sexually immoral and inappropriate behavior all the time, and homosexual behavior is sexually immoral and inappropriate.
…
Bottom line: it’s time for conservatives to unhesitatingly reclaim the “D” word, dust it off, and use it without apology. A rational culture that cares about its people will in fact discriminate against adultery, pedophilia, rape, bestiality, and, yes, homosexual behavior.
There’s no bigot like a proud bigot.
Fischer’s article tries to have its cake and eat it too with baloney statements about hating the sin, not the sinner.
We should discriminate against this kind of behavior not because we hate people but because we love them. We do not want to see them destroyed by their sexual choices, and we don’t want to see others destroyed through the diseases that are transmitted to them in unnatural sexual acts.
How comforting to read a rant from a nutcase who truly cares.

“Public policy is about discriminating against behaviors that are socially destructive and corrosive to the social fabric.”
All the more reason as to why we should be discriminating against clowns like you.

Every time this guy opens his mouth he spews hate. Why do you keep posting about him? We know he is a bigot, a man who says one bigoted thing or 50 is still a bigot. It’s like he is thinking, “what can I say that will get me more publicity?” and then spews it over his radio show. Stop posting about this guy. I will stop clicking links where you talk about him

where are we, as gays, supposed to find the time to eat people’s faces off in our busy schedule of destroying heterosexual marriages and kidnapping mormon missionaries?
i’m going to need an assistant.
besides….face eating is way too high in fat content for gays to want to participate.

Big shock. This would only be news if he Didn’t say that.

@Will G: I know! I haven’t even finished recruiting at the local grade school yet! Plus i need to convert a bunch of people into sex worshiping, pagan hedonists.

This gay thing’s a pain in the a**

This isn’t very surprising. What is surprising is the Romney supporters keep their mouths shut when idiots like this guy and all the hate preaching clergymen make their statements.
I was really hoping one of the Log Cabin, GOProud Pomney supporters would get on here and try to defend this guy and his party \, and let’s face it, we all know who he’ll be voting for in November…
Maybe queerty can get Dustin Lance Black to give some quotes about how Fisher’s views are “up in the ai” as well.

After a heavy petting session with my animals, I was sitting down to enjoy an open face sandwich, when I read the “D” word is being dusted off.

I kind of think that, whether it’s a ‘fred Phelps” type, or this guy, it almost proves the opposite of their intent; meaning that they, and not the target of their stupid rant, themselves actually the crazy, un-Christ-like, unstable ,to-be-feared ones– a real emperor’s new clothes’, through their own words-type of revelation. Preach your truth, messenger from God, show your true motives and values…it’ll backfire as it should.
What did you expect?
Please, spread his message far and wide. Every time they open their mouths, they drive more people over to our side.

@What did you expect?: These nuts wouldn’t have a career if it wasn’t for gays reporting on them.

The key words with most anti-gay groups are “tax exempt”. If all the money made by groups like this were TAXED, they would fine a real job. I just do not think gay life is that big a deal for most people? Most of us have a hard time worrying about our own life. For anti-gay groups it is all about the money. But if you DO spend every day of your life worrying about “the gays”, you may just want to talk to someone.

cb, He’s been dusting off his “D” word too long.

Dorothy: How can you talk if you haven’t got a brain?
Scarecrow: I don’t know… But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking… don’t they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you’re right.

If all socially destructive behaviors were outlawed the Catholic church and it’s colleagues AFA and Focus on Family would not exist.

@cb: The organization itself may be tax exempt, but the people that work for it still pay income taxes. Actually, the vast majority of corporations pay little to no taxes anyways, and the people that work for them also find ways to get out of paying taxes. Why do you think that Mark Zuckerberg only makes $1 a year as a salary from Facebook?

He comes across very queenie when interviewed, like he grew old, never came out, and then resents everyone else for living an authentic life he could never achieve.
