Quote# 59817

February 24, 2009, New York, NY – The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today urged media to turn a spotlight on anti-gay remarks made by Colorado State Senator Scott Renfroe on February 23, 2009, during a Senate debate over a bill that would allow gay and lesbian state employees to share health benefits with their partners.

According to The Denver Post, Renfroe stated that "homosexuality is seen as a violation of this natural creative order, and it is an offense to God." He continued ". . . When we create laws that go against what biblically we are supposed to stand for, I think we are allowing to go forward a sin that should not be treated by government as something that is legal. We are taking sins and making them legally OK."

Apparently the US constitution doesn't apply to everybody.

Cool. Then close down every McDonald's, every 7-11, and every cheap clothing store in Colorado. And shoot anyone who drives a car with a combustion engine on a Sunday.

Why would I be surprised by the empty bellows of a bigoted, religiously brain addled, American, Republican politician? One problem with democracy is that all too often we land up being governed by the lowest common denominator.

OK! Obama is the welcome exception.

That's what secularism is.

(Why are there no Christian theocracies we can advise these people to move to?)

People like Mr. Renfroe don't belong holding positions in our government.

-edit- @ dg - They're trying to turn America into one so they don't have to move anywhere.

There's Saudi Arabia. It's close enough, and fundies can at least go there knowing they'll get the added bonus of being able to fap to their persecution.

"We are taking sins and making them legally OK."

Yes, you are! That's the point of religious freedom! You don't have to enforce laws that you believe on people who don't believe in them. If you're right, we'll be judged in the afterlife, so stop worrying!

Then you'd better get busy passing all of Leviticus into law.......and then don't blame us when you get the death penalty for cheating on your wife.

It sounds like Renfroe here needs to go to Saudi Arabia, since he sounds like he's trying to make a theocracy. I think he'd be happier there...

#972862: Remember, these are people who think Allah is a seven-headed dragon, or a moon god, or Satan, or any of the other bullcrap we've seen on this site.

...Somewhere in Africa, maybe? There are a bunch of countries in that area that might actually benefit from it.

When you prove god exists, we'll ask him what he thinks. Until then, we're not really interested in what your imaginary friend has to say.
