TUPELO, Miss. — More anti-gay rhetoric on Wednesday from American Family Association spokesman Bryan Fischer, who took to Twitter to advocate for an underground railroad to “deliver innocent children from same-sex households.”
In the tweet, Fischer points to Robert Oscar Lopez’s essay blaming his mother and her partner for his social issues as proof of “why we need an Underground Railroad to deliver innocent children from same-sex households.”
Lopez’s essay included this statement:
[...] “Quite simply, growing up with gay parents was very difficult, and not because of prejudice from neighbors. People in our community didn’t really know what was going on in the house. To most outside observers, I was a well-raised, high-achieving child, finishing high school with straight A’s.
Inside, however, I was confused. When your home life is so drastically different from everyone around you, in a fundamental way striking at basic physical relations, you grow up weird. I have no mental health disorders or biological conditions. I just grew up in a house so unusual that I was destined to exist as a social outcast.”
LGBT families are not a new phenomenon. There are over 650,000 same-sex couples raising nearly 250,000 childen, according to the 2010 U.S. Census data.
“Fischer’s call for kidnapping children from same-sex partners is not only offensive, but a harmful mis-characterization of families that struggle daily to provide loving and safe home environments despite significant legal, financial and dignitary inequality,” said Maureen McCarty, a spokesperson for the Human Rights Campaign.

Why is he not in jail!?
sickening.
I highly suggest every parent ask the Justice Department to look into this. IT is at minimum inciting felonious activity. He is the leader of a well known hate group..
Remember folks, his organization has FCC radio broadcast licenses. http://michichan.com/node/55
Whatthefuck.
Now ive heard everything…
Isn’t the advocating of criminal action a criminal action itself? I would think that would qualify as “making terroristic threats.”
kidnappp children now that is a crime . and when i got to him i would personally torture him then call police and let them throw this creep into prision
MOVE to IRAN you bigoted jackass….there are LAWS about things you suggest…
Shouldn’t the FBI be at his door?
What a dumb ass!
Now here is a real sick bastard!!
Wow…..
I agree! He should be arrested, federally and in every state where that was airred!
Arm your self and protect your family.. The world is full of Crackpots like this … and YES Shoot back !!
What a complete piece of shit.
A leader of a well known hate group is telling people to steal children of same sex couples? Are kidding me and he is still walking the streets? Omg NOW I have heard everything!
He needs to go away. I hope the president is reading this.
Ok well that is a felony waiting to happen!!

I may not have a partner and most likely never will but I am a lesbian raising a child and if anyone, especially this feeble minded old coot came and tried to take my daughter away because I’m a lesbian they would be dead or at the very least severely beaten on my doorstep. Everything I do is for her and I’ll be damned if some wack job tried to take her from me based purely on the basis that her mother is a lesbian.
Wouldn’t this also fall under the category of inciting criminal activity as well?
Advocating breaking the law over the biggest piece of BS is crazy. Blaming your parents gay or straight for you being screwed up is normal. Just proves same sex and heterosexual households deal with the same issues.
Time to use those “Stand your Ground” laws to take out the trash. What he advocates is Kidnapping, a direct assault on LGBT people everywhere.
@MichelleObama Please report @BryanJFisher to your friend Eric Holder. He wants to kidnap my children. http://fb.me/216p4qJWE
owo
Wow!
Isn’t there a law against counseling others in the commission of a felony?
WHAT.THE.FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK? Every time I think the religious right can’t get any more insane, they find a way.
people like this need to be committed….why must we have idiots in the world?
Kidnap his hairdresser.
i will go to Prison for fucking Murder some stupid son of a bitch trys to take me 3 kids .. bring it Bitch and I will rid the world of a Stupid Son OF A Bitch
if he is taking anyone against their will he will be brought to justice I am sure. But I am also sure he will not the the act/crime he is one of those great Christian Extremest that talk others into doing things for him.
someone call the cops on this man someone could actually listen to his advice and it would be his fault
This guy has to be a closet case. If someone feels that strongly about something, they have something to hide? How many men has he done in a public restroom??????????????????
thats called kidnapping which ends him in jail which is where he should be int he first place
The Haters are going too Hell if they don’t STOP HATING People !!! Curtis & Pat.
I never cease to be amazed by what some people will do and/or say to self-promote. Someone abviously needs more funding!
this is horrible. i am an adopted child and never knew my birth parents. I’m vrateful for my current mom and dad. tearing families apart affect everyone!
I think he’s got it reversed on who are the persecuted ones here….
Shouldn’t he be arrested for threatening to kidnap children??? Sick bastard.
Yeah, well, that’s one way to get them sent to jail. What are you thinking, Fischer?
Bryan Fischer is an ass. If his story is really legit and not some made up propaganda, I feel sorry for his parents. And if he comes anywhere near my two kids, he’d have a hard time walking away with anything other than his first name.
How dare someone taint the name of something meant for escape of opression with something meant to terrorize the opressed! Just plain wrong altogether!
People must love this stuff, as they keep sending money to these “Family” and “Values” groups. Ugh.
Good grief… unbelievable what people come up with..
He’s really a complete ‘nut’. He lives in the 19th Century. Also, sounds like an extremist.
Bryan Fisher is a SICKO
I listen to AFR sometimes, just to listen to the hate-filled ridiculous rhetoric… they were talking about the hate-mongers that were planning to protest chic-fil-a. In the same breath they were advertising an anti Home Depot site…can one say hypocritical at best???
Such a problematic and troubling stance. Its’ so important keep pushing that alternative gender and sexual identities are not abnormal or something to be ashamed of!

Try to kidnap me, you old mudak! My father will take you the fuck out. Dont fuck with us Tereshchenkos.
……LOLOLOL omfg.
How about an “Underground Railroad” be made to rescue all the choir boys from the preachers, eh? 9__9 At any rate, gay couples have to actually take the time to PLAN for a kid, so each child is actually WANTED, unlike a lot of unfortunate cases with some straight couples that couldn’t be bothered to give two shits about the life they never even wanted to create.
Buckethead.
I suppose you think they wold be better off with you who would teach them hate and bigotry You are a pitiful excuse for a human being. You should be put in jail for suggesting this crime.
For those who wonder why people boycott Chick Filet, it’s because they donate money to organizations such as the American Family Association, for whom Bryan Fischer is a spokesman.
