I came across this with total disgust and anguish. Around this time of year, we think about what we are thankful for, and to remind those that we are close to that we love them. However, this article as proven that there are those opportunistic enough to use a time of celebration to spread hate, something I cannot stand.
However, beyond the typical anti-gay rights movement (the whole "our kids will be corrupted" yadda yadda") this guy did something that made absolutely no sense whatsoever. He tried equating the Republicans "fight to keep sexual morality" or whatever, with the fleeing of Christians from England to the U.S. aboard the Mayflower.
He says something like "We were persecuted for our beliefs then, and once again we must take action....". However, as the institutionalized religion, calling the shots for the other 30% of this nation that doesn't identify as Christian, it seems more that the gays are the ones fighting and fleeing for their right to live in the way that they want to.
