Facts
-- Called for the criminalization of "the public advocacy of homosexuality"
-- Compares current situation with President Obama, gays, and Democrats to the rise of the Nazis; Says the EndTimes will have a gay element to it and that the rainbow flag is a symbol of that
-- Is directly linked to anti-gay legislation in Uganda, which makes simply being gay punishable by death. Said his 2009 conference in Kampala was a “nuclear bomb against the gay agenda in Uganda.”

-- Warns parents about "poisonous" gays: "…the “gay rights” movement is not benign. Its history is a poisoned stream whose headwaters begin in the swamp of Sadean perversion and whose direction was set by the same people who created the Nazi Party. In America its course has run mostly through underground sewers until the past few decades when control of the movement fell into the hands of modern marketing experts who have hidden the truth under a white-washed facade of their own shrewd design. And it is this sugar-sweetened poison that is about to be spoon-fed to America’s public school students. It is a 'gay' Kool-Aid of dangerous lies and it is to our great shame that this once-Christian nation will allow these innocent children to consume it without so much as a whimper of protest."
-- Said being gay should be criminalized like marijuana: “To reverse the current trend toward sexual anarchy, society will need to establish new public policies that actively discourage sex outside of marriage, including homosexuality. Such policies should be strong enough to prevent government from facilitating, endorsing or condoning sexual activity outside of marriage, but only as restrictive on personal liberties as necessary to maintain a family-centered culture. One model for such policy might be current laws in some states that criminalize marijuana usage but provide minimal sanctions for violations. People in these states may indulge themselves privately in this harmful conduct but cannot openly recruit others into their lifestyle or use the organs of government to advance their philosophy as normal and healthy.”
-- Said being gay will cause “some sort of infrastructure collapse in society.” (See 0:43 mark here.)
-- Said: "The gay movement is an evil institution that’s goal is to defeat the marriage-based society and replace it with a culture of sexual promiscuity in which there’s no restrictions on sexual conduct except the principle of mutual choice."
-- Says gays and Christians are at war (beginning around 5:55)
