While discussing the string of election night victories for marriage equality on Thursday, Tony Perkins declared that if the Supreme Court legalizes it Christian conservatives will never accept it because, like abortion, they know that “it’s unnatural for two men to be married.”
If the Court strikes down the anti-gay marriage amendments passed by various states over overrules the will of the people, Perkins warned that it could lead to “revolution” and “just break this nation apart”:
Perkins is president of the Family Research Council, an organization designated as an anti-gay “hate group” by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
An LGBTQ Nation media partner.

what Mr.Perkins needs to realize that it’s ok if the government sanction same sex marriage. It’s a civil ceremony. Churchs can still decide what and where they will perform religious ceremonies. Moving forward Perkins…move with us or get left behind.
Oh brother.
That coming from Perkins, and his hate group, is not surprising at all. Sickening.
It took a civil war to win racial equality. I hope and pray we’re smarter than that now.
Empty threats can’t halt progress!
Sure! A revolution of happy people! Those who are happy to finally have equality and those who have been with them and supportive all along! Yeah! We call that revolution Voting. Voting the old white bigots out of office. :)
Im ready for a revolution /:)
What Perkins meant to say is that if the Supreme Court legalizes same-sex marriage then he and the AFA will become irrelevant. It would be an Irrevolution.
I will never understand why someone would care what someone else is doing with their life if they aren’t directly affected. I guess they just need attention.
Bring ON the REVOLUTION! Love always conquers hate!!!!
Sounds like words from a desperate man tryi8ng to be relevant. So long. Good-bye. Leave. Get a job.
And Perkins I believe falls into the “squeakiest wheel” catagory. He’s just Begging for the grease. ;)
How did he know I am wearing that shirt today? x3
it will be a revolution. The people of sanity will be taking over you nut jobs.
Someone needs to push him out of the closet…he really hates himself.
They say that a lot don’t they? If Obama wins it could lead to a UN takeover and an American Revolution . . . I think they just want to threaten progress. Seriously … stop and think before you speak for a minute.
Poor, clueless man. He has earned, but shall not get, my pity.
Perkins is SUCH a closet case!
That has already been tried, it was called the Civil War. It didn’t stop the end of slavery, and another war will NOT solve thus issue.
Evolution, I prefer that.
Sorry but the revolution has already started and we are WINNING!!!!! :)
Mr. Perkins if LGBT people are allowed to get married, in all 50 states. Other then for that and maybe less LGBT youth taking there own lives. Not much else is going to change at all. It’s all to much about the scary, scary for people like you.
Oh, jeez… The only reason the people would revolt would be if they listened to the actually terrible things our officials are doing and how they’re fucking us over. Those morons are too busy sitting on their fat asses eating Twinkies, watching pro-wrestling, and sobbing into their Romney t-shirts to do anything for their cause.
michael preach
Someone misspelled Evolution.
What strange people we share our streets with who tell us they will fight us for who we choose to marry…
This is called having an exaggerated view of one’s own importance.
oh okay, so where are the revolutions in the states that currently sanction marriage equality? GO AWAY, Chicken Little!
You have lost! LOVE will win! Now slowly, no, actually run as fast as you can, back to the rock you crawled out from under! STOP your hate!
And guess who will lose that battle…. not I said the gay ant… bunch of fing loony toons! REligious fanatics that would kill their own children in order to make their point… these are sick, sick people…
i am sure there are more pressing issues.
Why can this people just practice their beliefs without pushing it on the rest of us?! People having Equal rights does not affect any if them, their freedom of religion is not being taken away!
amazing since OTHER countries APPROVED marriage equality and not on fell off the planet
What kind of world do these people live in that they actually have the time to be concerned about what goes on in someone’s bedroom?
Douchebaggery…
Closet case
Idiot!
If we want him to go away then why are you even reporting about him? That’s his power, you’re spreading it.
Im ready!!!
Seriously wow!!!.can you say stupid idiot!
They want to move to Canada where its already legal, ha.
Legalizing Same Sex Marriage would be the Revolution. Moron!!!
Just another nut!!
crazy
When will Tony be caught?

The HATE MONGERERS are screaming out of the wood work….There is NO END to their prognostications and predictions of FEAR, HATE AND BIGOTRY!
Another Mitt Romney Disease.
Hell yeah! We could use a little bit of revolution!
ORRRRR…maybe ‘he’ could just leave…lol… What an idiot!
What if you threw a revolution and no one came?
Frogs will rain from the sky! Dogs and cats, living together! Horses eating one another! IT WOULD BE CHAOS! No… Wait… That was just a dream… My bad! LOL
Yeah, because every revolution that’s ever taken place has been initiated by old overweight white people with television addiction and early onset diabetes.
Is he leading the charge? What a dangerous man this is. Did a revolution occur in Spain? Canada? What a psychopath.
Perkins is a lunatic, and his alleged Christianity is not within my philisophical and theological knowledge slightly Christian nor centered on Christ, but rather it is a form of Protestantism that which Man is at the Center in the belief that Man has knowledge, wisdom, and wrath of God. But outside of religion this dude is a Theocratic Fascist along with the rest of the Conservative Religious Right!!!
No, it is exactly the opposite. There will be revolution if we Supreme Court doesn’t legalize same-sex marriage.
Vive La Revolution!
How can a person be so discriminatory? If he is ever in a relationship, he and his partner should be forced apart for a while so he knows how painful if people have their partners stolen by the stupid law DOMA.
People would never know the pain unless they really EXPERIENCE the pain.
Which is something we really need really soon, Perky
As long as they only kill off one another, I’m good with a revolution over this issue.
Sho, how can anyone have a healthy and loving relationship, when they feel so much hate?
It’s not fair anti-gay can love who they love and be together when they want, but that LGBT cannot when they want.
What a turd – predicting a revolution. Gee, aren’t there a dozen countries around the world that recognize same sex marriage? IT IS A CIVIL MATTER. If his Christian friends don’t like it they can ignore us.
I am getting my bazooka and rifle see you when you try to take my rights away or those of my family members–
Sho, we all agree. Be patient. It’s going to happen all around. Any civil rights battle took time, womans rights, blacks, interracial marriage. We’ll get there, my friend!
We certainly will. I heard lots of experts expecting we LGBT will have a good future at latest by 2020. But of course, we want it as early ad possible!!!
It won’t be that far away. We are about 25 or 30 years behind that black civil rights movement. We’re almost there. It’s like a snowball rolling down a hill, it keeps growing. Our snowball is at the point that it’s growing very fast. I wish I was a teen. I could have been out then and not in my 40′s. You’re lucky!
someone’s priorities are a tad skewed..
Oh Tony… It will just make it easier to finally come out of the closet, and be gay.. You know you like men.. just admiit it..
And what a great revolution it would be!
what a dummy..gay people get married all the time in the USA…we want EQUAL CIVIL RIGHTS…your attitude is what is helping gay rights to become a reality sooner than later… and for that, I THANK YOU.
Some articles say Supreme Court might repeal DOMA as early as June 2013. If things go well, and DOMA is repealed by then, we will get equality !!!
Yeah, right. Sure it will.
Revolutions coming whether you like it or not buddy.
Repealing DOMA is only the beginning on the federal level
I find it interesting that perkin’s comments allude to the people revolting, when it was the people who voted in favor of marriage equality. #outoftouchbigot
it would cause such a wonderfull revolution i could marry who ever i wonted no matter gender ^.^
Yes, because we all know it leaded to some huge revolution in Canada…
hisstory making yes, a revolution lol only in the ways that ALL people are treated equally.
yes, a revolution of LOVE!!!!
Some Gay & Lesbian people are already legally married. What does he mean “If”. There is NO IF… It’s happened. 18,000 couples in CA are STILL legally married… Prop 8 did NOT rescind those marriages. That’s the equivalent of saying IF we allow women to vote there’s going to be a revolution. Newsflash: Women are allowed to vote… and no revolution has happened. Idiot.
He wants a tragedy to point and say, “See?”
Wow….l am quited shocked. What a weirdo he actually is.
Conservatives think every little change that strays from their narrow minded view of what they see “Their” country as, as being a possibility to create civil war or revolution. How do you reason with people that believe in Armageddon?
Tony Perkins can see the handwriting on the wall as America’s VOICE is heard loud and clear.
Hey, BRING IT ON!
“Just because we foment anarchy doesn’t make us a hate group!”
Then get ready for a revolution you MISERABLE, BIGOTED BITCH!
Yeah, a rainbow revolution with awesome new clothing lines and well designed architecture. Go play in traffic Mr. Perkins.
More hogwash spewing from the mouth of a bigot.
