Liberty University Law Dean: Marriage Equality Will Turn Everyone Gay

I swear, I truly wonder at times what kind of mental illness afflicts the far right Christian crowd.  At times, their insanity defies belief.  A case in point" Matt Staver, a homophobe extraordinaire who is the dean of Liberty University's law school which is both a blight on Virginia and the legal profession.  Staver as some readers may recall may have been involved - although he claims ignorance - in the international kidnapping scheme that centered on Lisa Miller who claimed she had become "ex-gay." Before her flight to Central America, Miller had found aid and comfort in Lynchburg, Virginia from folks at Liberty University and the late Jerry Falwell's Thomas Street Baptist Church.  Staver's latest batshitery involves his claims that marriage equality may turn everyone gay.  He also resorts to the lie of depicting gays as disease ridden and would be pedophiles.  Meanwhile, of course, it is heterosexual males like Staver who are the most likely pedophiles.   Right Wing Watch looks at Staver's insanity.  Here are highlights:

Liberty Counsel head Mat Staver is warning that with full marriage equality, everyone may decide to marry someone of the same sex and society could “cease to exist” altogether. While speaking to Vic Eliason of VCY America last week, Staver said that if gay marriage becomes legal nationwide then the country could become a childless, disease-ridden dystopia.

If you ultimately promoted same-sex marriage and everyone started to go towards same-sex marriage, what would happen to society? It would just simply cease to exist. Moreover, you’d have rampant increase in diseases. Already, you have rampant increase in diseases among same-sex activities, specifically men having sex with men. Same-sex marriage, same-sex relationships is destructive to individuals and it’s destructive to our very social fabric.

He later claimed that the expansion of gay rights is encouraging pedophilia and that the media “promotes” bestiality by making sex with animals seem like “a funny thing.” “That’s how this whole homosexuality began to happen on TV,” Staver said.

Staver went on to praise India’s Supreme Court for recriminalizing homosexuality and Russian president Vladimir Putin for “defending traditional marriage and criticizing President Obama.”

Of course, Staver is being dishonest: Obama actually canceled a September summit with Putin over the Edward Snowden asylum controversy. Further, Putin isn’t facing criticism because he “believes in marriage as one man and one woman,” but because his government is leading a crackdown on Russia’s gay community and rolling back the free speech rights. 

Staver clearly ranks among those for whom the safest assumption should always be that if his lips are moving, he's lying.   It's frightening that Staver isn't in an asylum much less that he's the dean of a supposed law school.  One has to wonder when Liberty University will open a "medical school" granting degrees in witch doctor cures and remedies.
