Gays are after your children

This is a program on a Christian station claiming that homosexuality is infiltrating schools and brainwashing kids that is okay to have two mothers and fathers. First, I find it ironic that Christians and Conservatives think that it's such a pernicious thing for a child to have two parents. Conservatives cannot call themselves pro-family if they would rather see a child alone in foster care than to have two mothers or two fathers.

The man who is being interviewed here is Michael Brown, an author of a book offensively titled "A Queer Thing Happened to America." The man who is hosting the show, Sid Roth, was impressed by the pun and asked Brown how he could have possibly come up with it. Brown said that God gave it to him. Interesting how God's words always reflect our own values, no matter how bigoted they may be.

Brown continues by saying that homosexuality is further being sold to us by gay characters on TV. It angers him that "every sitcom has a gay character" and that they are always portrayed positively. I find gay characters frustrating as well but because they way they are portrayed, which is not uplifting at all. The treatment of gays on TV is horrendous. Much as African Americans, they are always stereotypical, one dimensional, token cardboard cut outs that are used to give the illusion of diversity.

According to Brown, gays on TV are all part of a plot to "legitimize homosexuality." I hear this from Christians a lot, and I'm confused by why they believe that America is seeking their approval or why we need their it at all. I don't care whether Christians think that homosexuality is legitimate or not, and I don't try to make them accept it. Christians can disagree with homosexuality all they want, but they don't have the right to deny LGBT their rights. Like I've said before, you can disagree with someone without trying to take their rights away.

This statement from the interviewer, Sid Roth was particularly interesting to me:

Is this the course that nations take before they reach their final destruction?

Now that is a real gem. Of all the problems--environmental issues, gender, racial, and class inequalities, the dreadful state of American education--none of theses will bring about the apocalypse. Homosexuality is! Furthermore, although this is a common claim of Christians, not one can explain how a child having two daddies will cause the Milky Way to collide with Andromeda. I'm still waiting.

Other great quotes:

Diversity is the code word for gay activism.

 [If same-sex marriage became legal] it would be mandatory that we would have to accept it...Adult incest would also be okay, poly-amorous relationships would also be okay...Christian schools would be required to teach that homosexual practice is fine. Home-schoolers would be required to teach that homosexual practice is fine. Preachers...will go to jail for discrimination.

These are just baseless assumptions, which Brown can't support with any evidence. He is just Henny Penny here, claiming that the sky is falling.

More quotes from Brown:

I'm...making sure the gay and lesbian audience understands my genuine love for them. 

Now that's really hilarious. You've practically labeled them as agents of the devil, but you adore them.

Sid Roth:

If God says that you are not to be a practicing homosexual, then you can abstain. I know you can do that!

It's rather contradictory for God to make people gay if he wants them to abstain. Of course, God also said that he makes people deaf, mute, and blind, as well, so I guess I shouldn't expect much logic there.
