When did it become ok to sound like a nazi or white supremacist? Since when is it tolerable to incite violence against those we disagree with? To advocate torture and murder and eradication of those who are different than we are?

And yet, we have preachers and political leaders and other people of influence doing just that. Why isn't there widespread outrage and rebuke of such bigotry?

I'm sincerely afraid for the future of the human race if we continue down this path.

Besides a very select portion of the population, I don't think anyone thinks that speech was "okay".

There is minimum outrage because no one is surprised a preacher in North Carolina would say that. It is no different than those Westboro fucks...

Seriously? You think this is an isolated incident?

Not an isolated incident, not at all. In addition to being bigoted and hateful, it is stupid and logically ... unsound. He's right. No parthenogenesis in the lesbian enclosure, no adoption in the gay cage; no reproduction. They probably would die there, given his plan, terrible and horrific as it is. My question is this, though, you stupid hater: since "they" can't reproduce, since they can't make "more", I want you to explain to me where "they" came from in the first place.

Ignorant hateful fuck.

I never said isolated. I said very select portion of the population. Big difference.

Good lord, can't we just nuke NC? Listen to these assholes, especially that bursting at the seams boy in the car. Adam and Steve...oh how fucking original. What a clever little dumbass.

Also, gay people don't necessarily beget gay people. Dumbass reporter should have told him that. How stupid does a group of people need to be before they die off from freaking stupidity?

"You need to lay off my pasture."

Fucking numnut fuck.

Hey, have some sympathy for the guy. If his sister had run a little faster, he might have ended up gay.

North Carolina... doesn't bother me one little bit.

Here's the states where same sex marriage is legal: New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, Vermont, and New Hampshire.

I'm just glad that for once it's North Carolina being a bunch of dipshits, and not Texas.

NC did not even make the final eight in Bill Maher's Stupidest State brackets.

But SC did....

Wow, I can't believe Texas didn't make the list. We tried to defund planned parenthood ffs, and held a convention to pray for rain.
