The director of issues analysis of the fundamentalist American Family Association (AFA) on Thursday warned that homofascists were going to make anti-LGBT Christians wear badges like Jews had to wear during the Holocaust in Nazi Germany.
During his Focal Point radio show, AFAs Bryan Fischer explained that he was outraged that Dr. Ben Carson decided to drop out as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine after his comments linking same sex marriage to bestiality.
If you dont believe in sodomy-based marriage, youre not prepared to endorse and sanction sodomy-based marriage, you have no place in this institution, Fischer complained. So were getting to the point I dont know what the emblem would be remember when the Jews in Nazi Germany, they had to wear a yellow Star of David on their sleeve? I mean, were getting to the point now, thats what theyre going to make us do.
I dont know what the symbol would be, Id have to think about that, he continued. Were getting to the point where these homofascists are going to force us to wear on our sleeves some kind of identifying marker so people will know who the racists and the homophobes and the bigots are, and can stay away from them.
In fact, men arrested for homosexuality in Nazi Germany were forced to wear inverted pink triangles as identifying badges in labor and concentration camps.
As part of the Nazis attempt to purify German society and propagate an Aryan master race, they condemned homosexuals as socially aberrant, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Many survivors have testified that men with pink triangles were often treated particularly severely by guards and inmates alike because of widespread biases against homosexuals.

I am offended as a Jew and a gay man! If anything, this is simply projection on the part of the AFA. This is what they want to do to US!

...then turnabout's fair play. It's not like gays weren't victims of the Holocaust, too.
