Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee To Appear In Anti-Gay Documentary

Do these F'en fools have any vague idea how many LGBT are devote Christians? Answer: A lot! Just more evidence of how really stupid those of this ilk are!

WASHINGTON -- Two possible GOP presidential contenders and four congressmen are slated to appear in a new documentary that claims the push for gay rights threatens Christianity.


According to an email Porter sent to supporters last week, the documentary also features Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), as well as Reps. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) and Steve King (R-Iowa).


"If homosexual activists get everything they want, it will be nothing less than the criminalization of Christianity," argues an unidentified man featured in the "Light Wins" trailer. A second trailer, also posted by Right Wing Watch, argues that the Boy Scouts of America "needlessly caved to a dark sexual agenda that violates the safety [and] innocence of our children" perpetrated by the "homosexual lobby."


The Human Rights Campaign, which advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality, is calling on Huckabee and Paul to renounce their involvement in the film. It's the group's first major action targeting a potential 2016 candidate.

Particularly troubling to the group is the appearance of a radical pastor named Scott Lively in the film. Lively has pushed an anti-gay agenda internationally, and is widely seen as a leader in fanning the flames of hate in Uganda that led to legislation criminalizing homosexuality. (The measure was ultimately struck down in court.)

He is never the brightest bulb in the room but once he is 'made aware' of his missteps, he retreats, as he did on vaccinations.

for the primary. Hatred of others is a hallmark of GOP primary voters. They are so miserable in their own loveless and meaningless lives they want a candidate that will help all the others to be miserable.

But these two that are so anti-gay tell me they have both had many gay experiences. I believe they are so full of self-loathing they lash out at gays because they hate themselves.

many gay experiences and take these extreme positions as a defensive posture, hating themselves and blaming others. They are so preoccupied with others sexual organs and lives, it frankly alludes me why they are not called out more as quite perverted and filled with irrational and delusional hatred. They are not stable individuals and should not be trusted in any position of power and/or influence.

12. When will people like Wingus and Dingus realize that they are on the losing end of this argument?

Probably never. You can't teach a tea partiers new tricks, and especially if you invite the most extreme extremists like Scott Lively to your party, it will only make you look more foolish in the long run.
