Glenn Beck and “pro-family” advocate David Barton got together to throw a little hate fest over the weekend.
Barton appeared on Beck’s show to spend an entire hour discussing the popular subject of Christian business owners having the right to discriminate against LGBT people in the name of religion.
During the conversation, Barton tried arguing that the government is no longer “respecting the private property of Christians’ consciences” by requiring them to go against their beliefs by serving gay people.
“The right of conscience used to be an inalienable right,” Barton babbled. “I think the best way to understand that is a jurisdictional analogy. Now, I’ve got my red pickup. You’ve got a white car. I look over in your yard. I really want your car to be red. So I go over and spray paint your car red.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“The difference is,” he continued, “I can spray paint anything I want red if it belongs to me. But I cannot touch anything that’s yours.”
After comparing gay people to cars, Barton then compared homosexuality, in general, to incest, then suggested it ought to be outlawed.
“You can’t marry your brother and sister,” he said. “You can’t marry your first cousin. So there’s always been things that protect the moral climate of the society … You’ve always had standards on behavior.”
Watch Barton talk in circles below.

Actually you CAN marry your first cousin in many states. Don’t know where he got that idea. And not just the hillbilly states you’d expect – I was shocked to learn that Massachusetts still allows it.
Maybe it should be illegal for heterosexuals because of hemophilia. Queen Victoria married her first cousin and look how that turned out.
Todd W Stuart
Oh lord he looks like Miss Hathaway from Beverly Hillbillies.
Mike Lundstrom
he kinda looks like a product of INCEST

Interesting. Barton is also in the news today for something else. https://www.au.org/blogs/wall-of-separation/lost-in-translation-yet-another-david-barton-claim-comes-under-scrutiny

Another closet case!!!!

@onthemark: “Queen Victoria married her first cousin and look how that turned out.”
She became the longest ruling monarch in British history (so far, Liz is about to pass her by), brought her country to its zenith of economic power and world influence, loved her husband very much, and is regard with great affection to this day. If only allowing gays to marry works out so badly.

Are like cars? Lol Hahahahaha hes a mess; this can’t be real.
Quincy Bissic
So if I’m a car. Do I get to mow down his creepy ass with it? No matter the color.
Jerome Hofer
Are there really no end to dumb asses!
Mitchell Hurricane Smith
I can’t bring to listen to the whole thing to make sense of it. You can’t spray paint your neighbor’s car so gay people shouldn’t marry? And incest is about genetics and mutations not morality.
Ryan Ellis
He looks like a marionette
Caoimhin Mikael Lycke
So much scum so little brains and class!
Evji108
None of this is news. They can hash and rehash their homophobia over and over and over. The real question is why do we keep listening?
onthemark
@MacAdvisor: I was referring to the hemophilia. Victoria (and Albert) were great, but some of their descendants in Russian and Spanish royalty had severe genetic problems.
At least they didn’t end up with two heads, fins and tails like some of the Austrian Hapsburgs! (I exaggerate only slightly.)
Anyway, not a problem for gays!
gaym50ish
@Evji108: We keep listening because there are people out there who actually believe what these folks say, and we have to try our best to counteract the misinformation. It’s a never-ending job.
That tale about painting your neighbor’s car is one of the worst analogies I have ever hears.
Rick J Reed
i don’t know what he’s worried about no gay man would screw him if he was the last man on earth, I would do myself first!

i dont even know how to start a car you moron.

and first cousins DO marry….
tdx3fan
Not to favor the stupidity of his analogy, but lets actually see this through… The problem is that the car on your neighbors property is actually part of a painting business, and they are allowing everyone else to paint it whatever color they want and just not letting someone paint it one color because they find that color icky.
You can be as homophobic as your bigoted stupidity allows as long as your business does not discriminate based on anything other than personal interaction with an individual.
Roger E Tedder
Stuff like this makes me hate people.

You can’t fix stupid and this what I see here. And anything on the Glen Beck show is trash. I can’t believe some right wing gays support Beck. Where are all the LCR trolls? Not posting under this article. The fools vote with their checkbook lol… Even though the people support want them in jail.

Who…who is this skeletal man? Ignorant….
Thomas Cameron
Lmao ironically he just described what they do to gay people! I’ve never in my young queer life ever heard of gay people trying to turn straight people gay. In fact being gay we know more then most that you can’t make someone be straight or gay! Yet these straight men who are so bothered by us spend an hour on radio trying to force us to be straight or loose all are rights as Americans and humans bahahaha…. o the double standard…
Alex Rothwell
This photo makes him look like an alien, as well as an ignorant idiot. That shirt is hideous.
