Delivering the convocation at Liberty University last week, Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert once again requested a congressional study that strands gay and lesbian couples on two deserted islands to prove that homosexuality is against nature.

As Right Wing Watch reports, it’s a pitch he’s made before.

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.
Gohmert was crowing, of course, about the Supreme Court’s marriage equality decision and working overtime to demonstrate that people who don’t believe in God should see that same-sex relationships are wholly unnatural:
“Let’s just take a totally secular approach to this. Congress is good about having studies; how about if we take four heterosexual couples and put them on an island where they have everything they need to live and exist and we take four couples of just men and put them on an island where they have all they need to survive and then let’s take four couples of just women and put them on an island and then lets come back in 100 years and see which one nature favors.”
No man’s an island, but plenty are idiots.
Watch the speech below:

Steven Za
they will work together… the gays will of course make the best clothes and cook the best meals… so we know who will be doing the cooking!
Dana Curtis Kincaid
Why, we’d convert the str8s and soon they would be fighting to bring us food and build us shelter.
Jonathon Popphan
Gohmert is confused here, because he doesn’t believe that gay people are born that way. He still thinks that it is somehow a “choice.” Even if all of the gay people on this hypothetical island died, the breeders there would crank out more gay kids to replace them!!
Aranos
Well, both homosexuals and heterosexuals (and all other sexual orientations and identities) will survive, because some percentage of the heterosexuals offspring will be gay, lesbian, transgender, etc…
Why? Because it is a natural part of mankind and is important to the survival of the group, especially under harsch conditions in the wild, as given on this hypothetical island.
This guy should get informed before talking bullshit. Or maybe he knows, but just wants to hate…
Marylou Porter
They should put this idiot on an island with nothing but the shirt on his back. Crazy !!!!!
Chris Duffy
(chuckle) This study gets done every weekend. On Key West. The straights get off the cruise ships, walk around an exotic tropical paradise and still end up eating at Denny’s. Then they board again, and head back to Des Moines.
The gays stay and be fabulous.
Erica Jade Worthington
Can we please send Louis Gohmert to Mars or the Moon or something? Dude is seriously out of this world.
Justin Weeks
Gays duh will threaten to sleep with all the straight guys if they don’t do all the work for us lol
Daniel Schlageter
Its called Manhattan honey and the gays are winning.
Tony Chaplinski
this is without a doubt one of the stupidest and crazy people ever elected With his pea brain he would not last 5 minutes in his own front yard
Sam Oropeza
Hahahaha good laugh I had.
Darryl Moir
I bet we kill you before you kill us, ever pissed off a gay person.
GG
Hey, Louie! Your assertion that one’s existence is proof of nature’s favor is debunked by your very presence.
James Dauria
IT WOULD BE A WONDERFUL PARTY-Mr Gohmert!
Valerie Hughes
I’ve got my bets on the gay folks. Plus I think they will make a far more fabulous village!!!
dada
This reads like one of those stupid middle school riddles. The answer is no one. They’ll all be dead.
Hugo Ares
let’s put politicians without taxpayers money in a island; and let’s see who will survive!
Michael Clifford
Only if he goes first!
Marshall R. Krug
who is this freak?
Steven Stevie
another idiot who thinks he sits on the right hand of god
Dennis Gordon
He should be first in line.
Daniel-Reader
He sounds genocidal.
Todd Hamilton
How about we put all the Bigots on an island and enjoy how much nicer everything is ?
Kai Grey
Do we get torches, matching t shirts, solve large puzzles and will I get a peanut butter sandwich if I take my top off?
Giancarlo85
He’s a stupid broken record with an attitude problem. Talking about other US CITIZENS that way is totally disrespectful. We pay taxes too… but these politicians move their money offshore. Who are the ones who need to be kicked out and sent to islands now?
Robert Barber
We would be just fine
Carl Cordell
I put my money on the gays. We have put up with so much crap that given the opportunity, we would kick some ass.
Rob Powers
R E A L L Y ??
Maggie Mae Henry-Cunningham
A.hole!!
Luis H. Lopez
Let’s put the bald headed lunatic on the island and shove a coconut up his ass!
Don Hanover
I want politicians to actually do what supports the republic for which they standâ?¦
DuMaurier
I’m no scientist, but even I can see the flaw; this has nothing to do with gays (the ostensible subject being “studied”), because obviously an isolated group of people who are all the same sex will eventually die out–but that’s just as true if everyone in the group is as hetero as the Marlboro Man (he was straight, right?) Yes, Congressman, we do know basic biology. Gay people come from couples having straight sex, duuuuuhhhhh….
Craig Webb
putting them on an island together? It’s called Survivor. It comes on CBS twice a year lol
Joseph T.D. Anaya
What exactly is the objective? It is true homosexuals cannot breed, at least not without cutting edge science, but in such a situation neither would survive, we must remember a limited gene pool will also cause the heterosexual island to go extinct, so again I ask what is the end goal for victory?
Kevin J Desmond
Guess he forgets people from both sides don’t want him either.
martinbakman
With Gilligan,
the Skipper, too………..
So sad how he was speaking at Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum. Schlafly’s son is gay. These Repubs are so twisted.
James V Carroll
Why don’t we put Louie Gohmert on an island with a Bible and put a scientist on another island with his intellect and see who survives.
Daniela Strobl
Several Republicans of both genders were put on an island to see who and how they survive. After a week scientists checked on them and found out that most were killed to gain the power of the island. The islands eco-system was ruined due to searches for fossil fuels and other resources. And last but not least: the survivors were starving because every one refused to work hard in order to survive properly.
Louis
Heres a better suggestion how about we simply commit hateful bastards like you so the rest of the sane portion of society can continue to progress and improve when it comes to the LGBT community and our rights as Americans.
This fool needs to be committed and so do idiots who think in such an equally extreme way.
So in that case make room for Mike Huckabee Ted Cruz Vladimir Putin Kim Jong Il Jr Rick Santorum Pat Robertson Ben Carson just to name a few.
Alan David Smith
yeah lets waste a 100 million dollars to prove what we already know. witch basically is that no matter what the love.2 men or 2 women cannot make a baby. with out the help of the oppasite sex. yeah that’s a way to cut govt. spending. and reduce the size of govt. isn’t that what every republican claims they want to do. dumbass.
Christopher Stamm
Yes let’s. We will prove them wrong. Gays and lesbians can survive with the help of each other aka artificial insemination. Plus we wouldn’t have to deal with our idiot government and have our own land…. GAYLAND HAHAHA
Steve Davies
And after that what? Latinos onto reservations and Jews into camps?
Terry Smith
I’m from Australia and it’s an island full of gays and straights… and generally we’re going just fine together!
Rick Reed
it would be the nicest place to live, on top of being the prettiest and all those straight ass idiots would be jealous and want to come live with us.
Cam
And when all the straight women start asking their gay friends on the island to be the sperm donor because they like them better than the straight men on the island?
This guy’s plan is just a way to make straight guys feel sad.
Jack Walter
I think the good Lord already gave up on ol’ Louie.
Sameer Nurani
All you will see is Fireworks everywhere! Don’t be surprised if one bursts in your ass!
Captain Obvious
Separate but equal islands. Neat.
Survival is based on skill and hunger. Has nothing to do with sexuality which ironically the first comment is a bunch of stereotypical nonsense.
Most Americans have been spoonfed meat and have no clue how to grow let alone forage natural vegetation. We’d probably all die of some sort of food related illness in the first few weeks.
I swear people are stupid nowadays.
Captain Obvious
Wait I just realized this is a magical island where all your needs are met. Then the heterosexual couples would die because their children would help them run out of food.
Remember douchnozzle said all the needs of 4 people would be met. Each kid is an extra mouth taking up those rations. When there’s nothing to do but bang that is what people will do most of the day out of sheer boredom(that’s why everyone’s grandparent had so many siblings).
The gay guys would be good and die of old age.
What a dumb scenario though. Islands are incredibly expensive to turn into anything near mainland living.
JessPH
An island of only gay people? That would be the most fabulous place on Earth.
drivendervish
First the guys would swim to the island of lesbians and have a big party then they’d call David Geffen and have him send his yacht to pick them up.
It’s sad that Texans have elected a representative with such moronic ideas, leaves the rest of the country wondering if he is really the best Texas has to offer.
libertineman
What would Gohmert do when he found out Gay Island was FABULOUS!!
rettamichaels
Seriously, this bitch has never been to Key West, has she???
