Brian Fischer Demands “Legal Sanctions” for Gays.
Keep in mind that every reputable professional organization states that homosexuality is not a disorder, but is a normal orientation like heterosexuality. They also firmly denounce so-called “reparative therapy” as ineffective and potentially harmful, given that sexual orientation is not changeable. None of that matters to people like Brian Fischer, who rely not on facts but the opinions of ancient sheepherders. These opinions have been deemed “holy”, and are therefore something people like Fischer can use to add a sheen of respectability and authority to their own personal bigotry.
…..
It might be worth noting that what I actually suggested is that we impose the same sanctions on those who engage in homosexual behavior as we do on those who engage in intravenous drug abuse, since both pose the same kind of risk of contracting HIV/AIDS. I’d be curious to know what you think should be done with IV drug abusers, because whatever it is, I think the same response should be made to those who engage in homosexual behavior.
…..
Riiiiight. Because HIV/AIDS can’t be contracted through heterosexual “behavior”. 
According to the CDC, the fastest growing group of new HIV/AIDS diagnoses is among heterosexual women of color. It’s time, for the good of all, to bury the myth that AIDS is a “gay disease”.
If you believe that what drug abusers need is to go into an effective detox program, then we should likewise put active homosexuals through an effective reparative therapy program.
Homosexuality is not a mental illness or an addiction. It does not need “therapy”, particularly not from charlatans pushing pseudo-science and demeaning lies designed not to help but to manipulate and even torture.
Secondly, I’m afraid you’re simply wrong about the Bible’s perspective on the law and homosexuality.
…..
I don’t give a fig about the Bible’s perspective on homosexuality or the Koran’s perspective or any other “holy” book’s perspective. We do not live in a theocracy and our laws should not be based on anybody’s interpretation of “holy” books or religious doctrine. If they were, well, just look to modern day theocracies to see how life would be.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve been told “Christians don’t hate gay people. Christians don’t bear any ill will toward gay people. No Christians in America want to see harm come to gay people.” Blah blah blah. Sorry, I didn’t buy it before and I’m not buying it now. There are far too may people like Brian Fischer proving just how much Christians do hate gay people and want to see them harmed.*
* Please don’t attempt the “Not a True Christian” line. He’s one of you. If you don’t like what he’s doing in the name of your religion speak out against him or stew silently, but don’t try to disown him to make yourself look better.

The difference between this clown and most fundies is that he spews that filth in public, rather than keeping it within the flock.
