Austin Ruse
President, Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute
—Criticized the Trump administration’s (specious) attempts to decriminalize homosexuality globally saying, “It is a plain fact that promoting the LGBT agenda will harm the life issues, religious freedom and undermine unalienable rights.”
—Insisted: “Gay marriage was about imposing an ideology on the rest of the country. It was about changing the institution of marriage for everyone else. And it was also about getting even with a larger society gays felt had treated them badly.”
—Writes: “Abortion lovers. Radical homosexuals. Sexual revolutionaries. They are coming for our children. They want to win our children over for their nefarious causes that come from the very pits of hell.”
—Insisted LGBTQ activists/bloggers are] “almost pure evil. And by that I do not mean these people. They are simply deluded by their own bad habits and by the Father of Lies. Even so, they have huge power behind them. And they are busy undermining all that is good and true and beautiful and it has been given to us to stop them.”
—Claimed most Americans would agree with Russia’s anti-gay law.
—Crassly claimed that federal workplace protections will eliminate job performance requirements: “They don’t even have to know how to type as long as they have lopped off their penises or at least wear dresses.”
—Bemoaned newspapers that illustrate same-sex marriage victories with affectionate same-sex couples: “The day after the decision of the Supreme Court was a full page photograph of two men kissing on USA Today. This is a paper that lands in front of hotel room doors all over the country, this is vacation time, families open that door, children may have opened this door to see two men kissing. They are making us explain things to our children that we don’t want to explain and they know what they’re doing, they absolutely know what they’re doing.”
—In an attempt to undermine LGBTQ protections, falsely claimed there are 23 recognized sexual orientations, including things like “urophilia” and “scatalogia.” In truth, the American Psychiatric Association recognizes these behaviors as paraphilias, not orientations.
—Asserted that “The Catholic and Mormon groups would simply have to walk away“ from a Boy Scouts of America that accepts gay youth. This even though the LDS Church came out in favor of the proposal.
—Wonders why LGBQ people are not “embarrassed” of T: “One of the truly strange things about the gay-rights movement is how free they are with their strangest cousins. You would think that even gay men and lesbians might be rather embarrassed by the T in LGBTQ. But so bold are they, so fearless, that they now lead with the T. Most Americans are rightly put off by such displays of obvious psychological disturbances.”
—Blamed Catholic Church priest sexual abuse atrocities on “The gaying of the Church.”
The GLAAD Accountability Project catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures, who have used their platforms, influence and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.
