Christofascists Continue to Go Berserk Over Rob Portman's Embrace of Gay Marriage

 

Often it seems the best arguments for LGBT rights and gay marriage are the Christofascists themselves  as they unwittingly display just how horrible and hate filled they are by almost any objective standard.  For example, in the context of the pending gay marriage cases, some of amicus briefs filed by the "godly Christian" crowd fairly drip with anti-gay animus and batshit craziness in general.  Nothing helps one's cause more than having outright lunatics and hate mongers as your principle opponents.  And in the wake of Senator Rob Portman's epiphany on same sex marriage, the spittle from the godly set is flying in sheets and the personal attacks on Portman are likely underscoring just how un-Christian the self anointed pious set has become.  A rant in the American Thinker - which describes itself as a "daily internet publication devoted to the thoughtful exploration of issues of importance to Americans" is a case in point:

In another case in the annals of conservative "adaptation" to yesterday's liberal innovation, Ohio Republican senator Rob Portman has just announced that he now supports faux marriage. The change was motivated, he said, by his son having come out to him and his wife as a homosexual.

Well, it's a good thing his son didn't announce that he was involved in bestiality.  Talk about a pandering parent.

We can also talk here about letting your personal life influence your public policy. If I were a statesman and learned that a child of mine were hooked on cocaine or had joined the Taliban, I wouldn't change my position on drug policy or terrorism. Of course, Portman has said that his son's revelation inspired some soul searching, and, true, life events can spur thought and intellectual growth. But is his decision really the fruits of sound intellectual analysis?

In an interview on his Obamaesque evolution, Portman talked about his "Christian faith," "love and compassion," and the Golden Rule. As to the last thing, I would certainly want others to do unto me as they would have me do unto them (unless they happen to be masochists), and this would include leading me toward Truth and virtue -- not away from them.

The fact is that God and His law come even before family; "Blood is not thicker than morality," as Dr. Laura Schlessinger once put it. And while this may seem a harsh prescription, it is actually the only way to do right by your family.

There's much more of this drivel which clearly shows that the level of "thoughtful exploration" at American Thinker is limited indeed.   No doubt parents who have thrown away their gay children and forced them to homelessness hold views akin to those of the author of this excrement.  To such "godly" folk, we gays truly are not viewed as even human.
