Scott Lively, running as an independent to become the governor of Massachusetts says he thinks Barack Obama “may be” gay, and calls the President a “radical homosexualist.”
Lively is the head of a certified anti-gay hate group and is the Massachusetts Evangelical pastor on trial in federal court for crimes against humanity. He is largely blamed for fostering the environment that helped create Uganda’s infamous “Kill the Gays” bill, that was modified into the Anti-Homosexuality Act — replacing the death penalty with life in prison.
“I think Mr. Obama may well be a homosexual himself,” Lively told the UK’s Channel 4 News’ Inigo Gilmore recently. “He is certainly a radical homosexualist – meaning a person, whether they are homosexual or not, meaning a person who is 100 per cent invested in the homosexual agenda.”
“So you think Obama is a homosexual?,” Gilmore, in the video below, presses.
“I think he may be,” Lively responds.

Inigo Gilmore reports that he “asked Dr Lively what his view was based upon and he referred to an article on an online site, World Net Daily.”
(World Net Daily, or WND, it should be noted, is home to the Tea Party’s birther conspiracists and claims that Obama is gay and married his college roommate from Pakistan.)
Gilmore continues:
When I asked if he thought President Obama was part of the gay agenda, he replied: “Anyone who is trying to break down the protections for the natural family and legitimize sexual perversion is complicit in the recruitment of children.”
I asked: “How is President Obama supposed to do that?” He said that the president was supporting gay activists behind “a destructive homosexual agenda”. He stated: “Well, he (Obama) is lending the weight of his office to a movement that’s goal is to overturn the Judeo-Christian sexual ethic and replace it with the gay ethic of sexual anarchy. That’s what he’s doing.”

Editor’s note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly identified Lively as a Republican candidate, based on a petition on his campaign site. Lively technically is running as an independent.
