The infamous anti-gay hate group leader Tony Perkins said today of his organization, the Family Research Council, “we’re not in people’s bedrooms. What they have done is they have thrust their bedrooms into the public square and are forcing a redefinition of marriage.” Perkins, who spends a good deal of time attacking the LGBT community, and directing his henchmen, like Peter Sprigg to do his dirty work for him, sees himself as a victim, not a victimizer. Odd.
“Look, we’re not in people’s bedrooms. What they have done is they have thrust their bedrooms into the public square and are forcing a redefinition of marriage, and forcing Americans to condone their behavior. But even the Democrats see this, that there is no support across America to redefine marriage. Folks, I just want to encourage you to continue to stand up for traditional morality, for natural marriage. Yes, we have compassion and love for those who are bound up in that destructive lifestyle of homosexuality. But we do not have to shrink back in silence and allow them to redefine marriage and to reshape our culture.”
