In CNN appearance, Bryan Fischer rails against the ‘homosexual lobby’

American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer went on CNN today to debate R. Clarke Cooper of the Log Cabin Republicans over the Romney campaigns’ hiring of Richard Grenell, who is openly gay.

Fischer, who believes that gays and lesbians should be “disqualified from public office,” repeated his claims that Grenell’s hiring is an attack on the “pro-family community” because “the homosexual agenda represents the single greatest threat to religious liberty in America today” and is a “big gain for the homosexual lobby.” Later, Fischer and Cooper debated whether sexual orientation is a choice, and Cooper compared Fischer to segregationist George Wallace who will be “left in the dustbin of history”:

Romney is campaigning on a firmly anti-gay agenda, but Fischer won’t be happy until Romney adopts a “straights only” policy for his presidential campaign and eventually the federal government.

  7. Though not enough has been done to help raise the children born of unprepared parents on the right and left. the parents should get help social safety net that requires them to work but not punishing them for working. if they dont want the baby let the gays adopt him or her but dont murder the child. listen to rosie on how the adoption laws need changing and fix them

  9. To Kneaul: Even with better adoption laws, does Earth even have the resources to raise anywhere near all these children?

  11. Listen to Rosie? She doesn’t represent all of us. I prefer to be represented by someone who’s not a loud mouth. And killing the weak? One of the rules of nature is that the strong survive. Sometimes it’s necessary to sacrifice a life so that another can flourish. Pro-lifers always come up with “adopt adopt” but do they really know how many kids already need adopted? You make abortion illegal and more kids burden the system.

  17. This is the “We hate all gay kids law,” the worst bill in my lifetime to come through the Louisiana Legislature. Will you tell the sponsors that this is NOT OK? Sen. A.G. Crowe 985-643-3600 and Gov. Jindal 1 866-366-1121 (Toll Free).

  18. To Kneaul: Will you extremists STOP trying to compare abortion to the beating/strangling/shooting deaths of 2 year olds?

    To Sherman: I think that bill is about to figuratively crumble into dust.

    To all else: National news networks need to stop hosting Bryan Fischer before the streets of America erupt into sectarian violence. If they stop hosting Bryan Fischer, these corrupt televangelists’ money flow will dry up, and we may not have to worry about them again.
