William Murray’s far-right “Government Is Not God” political action committee has some harsh words for Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), who late Thursday revealed that his son Will is gay, and he now supports marriage equality.
Now, the religious right organization, in a blog post today, warned Portman that homosexuality is “a sexually destructive behavior,” and is “accepting a behavior that may eventually kill his son from AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases, or oral cancer.”
“Homosexual sex is ultimately just as destructive as cocaine use,” GING-PAC said in the post. “Would Portman suddenly call for the legalization of cocaine if his son had announced that he was a cocaine addict?”
From GING-PAC:
Ohio Senator Rob Portman has announced that he supports so-called “gay” marriage. Why? Because his son told him he was “gay” two years ago.
According to Portman, he talked this over with former Vice President Dick Cheney (who has a lesbian daughter) and his pastor and has concluded that “love” and “compassion” taught in the Bible compels him to accept homosexuality and his “gay” son.
Portman has conveniently ignored the warnings against the sin of homosexuality in both the Old and New Testaments – and is accepting a behavior that may eventually kill his son from AIDS, other sexually transmitted diseases, or oral cancer.
Homosexual sex is ultimately just as destructive as cocaine use. Would Portman suddenly call for the legalization of cocaine if his son had announced that he was a cocaine addict? Would that be “loving” and “compassionate”?
Will Portman support “group” marriage – which is the next phase of the gay agenda?
What if his son had announced that he’s really a girl trapped inside a boy’s body – and wanted a “sex change” operation? Would Portman support his son’s mutilation of his male body to become a fake female? How would that be loving?
Or, what if his son had been involved in insider trading and ripped off thousands of investors? Would he support his son’s behavior and call for the legalization of insider trading?
What sort of core values motivate a U.S. Senator to change his mind about a sexually destructive behavior simply because his son is involved in it? What will happen to Rob Portman’s belief system when he discovers that his son is infected with HIV or throat cancer?
A person with a same-sex attraction has a treatable condition. No one is “born gay” and there is hope for those who want to overcome these destructive behaviors.

wonder what their cure for stupidity is
wow…
How “Christian” of them
Idiot and ignorant.
Okay, I NEVER say this, but I hope whichever prostitute this asshat is fucking on the side gives him a nasty STD!
christianity has killed more women children men and elderly than aids has so i think ill continue to take my chances taking it up the butt.
i can imagine a senator 50 years ago warning another senator, whose daughter is dating a black guy saying “watch out. he is probably going to beat her and sell crack for a living.” that is how bigoted and ignorant this guy sounds.
Seriously that man must be an idiot to speak those words, his children are probably the ones that will get diseases

This Right Wing Christian Pac needs to be crucified. Screw them Royal. We will love who we want to love and if we choose to have sex so fucking be it. The Hell with anyone who wants to flaunt their fecking religion on people. Right Wing Asswipes need to Mind Their Own Business. LGBT Don’t Harass and stick noses in str8 peoples business. Get a Damn Life!
Very stupid comment
And he’s God?
Republicans continue to shoot themselves in the foot with their hatred and bigotry!
Uh Huh and that person might die of cancer, a heart attack, or
a stroke.
That is going way over the line and just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he will get AIDS but if someone did it would be fitting for Murray to get it even though I don’t wish it on anyone
”Homosexual sex is ultimately just as destructive as cocaine use.” lol I’ve never done cocaine, but no. just no.
The hateful few strike again.
Tell me again how much the Republican party “evolved” today.
But it’s amazing that so many political are based in one way or another by religion…hmmm….
I wish bigotry was against the law.
idiot
Yeah, so may their straight kids.
Basic science, people. Why is that so hard for the GOP to grasp?
What a bunch of assholes…
How very classy & jesusie
Scare tactics once again!
Gee, that was thoughtful of them. Wonder what would a certain ancient working class, rabble-rousing rabbi think of that warning?
Such classy people.
*shakes his head*
#judgement
Disgustingly ignorant
lol they’re stupid they just assume cause he’s a gay man he’s going to get AIDS or that he has it because he’s gay like holy. fucking ignorant.
So in 2013, they are still claiming the correlation btwn homosexuality and AIDS when the percentile of those with HIV/AIDS, in the world, are hetero? how typical.
And they wonder why I left the church.
How sick
Larry- me too- and Lisa you are so right-these people are idiots
Reading this shit makes me angry, not reading more of this posts.
Christan PAC are douches.
Christians, I doubt if God thinks they are. Bigots–no doubt
SOME Christians crack me UP…. EX sinners, judging people with their hypocrisy……I’d rather be GAY, then one of these people. at least I can sleep at night and smile at myself in the mirror in the morning.
Wow the ignorance I just read is really disgusting and turns my stomach.
I’m hetero. Have so many hetero friends whose sexual behavior is so far off the charts that I’m amazed they haven’t been infected yet. Has nothing to do with orientation. Has everything to do with personal behavior.
Sense when does religious freedom and rights allow hate crime and discrimination?…also everyone can get HIV and aids so why do they claim its sent by god to murder gays?
So tired of all this right wing Christian bullshit. Fu*k them and fu*k their ridiculous misinformed BS! Aughhhhhh! Just so tired of it….SOOO tired of the churches and their crap ! Angry???… Fu*k yes!!!
What a fucking asshole
Oh please – obviously one condition can never be cured – stupidity!
Awful how evil people can be.
Sure if there is a hell they will have a hot seat or two waiting for them.
Btw, more straight people in the world have HIV than gay people. In case there is someone reading this that doesn’t know…HIV is just a virus that doesn’t discriminate.
Just when you thought they didnt get any dumber
“Group marriage is next on the gay agenda”. Wow, really? I’m so fcking tired of these people.
Pathetic…bunch of morons… Live and let live….
Shame!
these idiots need to cease calling themselves Christian..they don’t talk or act like Jesus at all.
Oh for Christ’s sake!
Step away from religion for a while, you can believe in what you want. How can love be wrong?
Do you feel compelled to speak your mind on social issues? Do you like the way our country is being run? Do you think we need to put the fear of God back in the classroom? Do you think the President is incompetent or a genius?

How do these people hold this much hate and fear in their hearts and minds? It must be exhausting.
hateful people
D:
That’s very disheartening to hear people think and say such terrible things and that I have to spend my time here on Earth with such despicable human beings.
Those ppl are crazy
scumbags
Cue the Christian anger in 3, 2, 1, O wait, there won’t be any!
My jaw literally dropped. How can people that claim to be full of kindness and joy and love be so cruel to others? Extremely shameful/
What else?
This man’s god is an asshole. Mine is about love, sorry about his.
thats a dam shame dont worry rob theres medicine if he gets it
The paranoia of the extreme right amazes me.
… How-SWEET-not!!!
His father knew his son was gay when he was vetted to be VP for Romney, he chose to keep this issue quiet. That is not a responsible and understanding parent. Politics shouldn’t trump your family or child. I’m glad that Rob Portman supports his son and should stand up for his son against anyone who says the above stupid remarks. Being gay is something I am proud of, I’m proud I have a family that supports me (and quite honestly even if they didn’t I like me) but I did have a great support system and if my child said I’m gay and I was in the political limelight my child is far more important. I bet Rick Santorum is being rough on this issue, the GOP are asses.
These people do not represent all Christians. Please don’t make the mistake of assuming that they do.
Portman could easily have said he had “evolved” on marriage equality, and, after contemplation, had changed his mind on this matter. He didn’t have to say his son was gay; although, speculation would’ve hounded him. I believe it took a lot of courage for his son to come out to his father, and I happy his son has received support from his dad. Let’s just be happy Portman was willing to “take one for the team” since he knew he’d get such hateful backlash. Should he have been honest in 2011? I don’t know. It was still a private family matter, and we should not judge. I’ve not been in that position, to come out to my dad who was a public official. And, to have your private life as a young gay man exposed to the public?Couldn’t have been an easy decision for the young man.
Group marriage the next phase of the gay agenda? Wtf?
The boy has got to be smarter than the father!! Let’s hope!! I’m sure that condoms are discussed!! :)
What sick a holes
And these guys call themselves Christian??
If i was his father, i would tell William Murray to go fuck himself.
The fuck
we are in the process of curing aids, last time I checked, we had cured 6 adults and 1 newborn, fuck AIDS
Tell the Far Right Extremist Christian Pac, Grow Up, Get Educated and Quit Being BIGOTS!
There is a gay agenda? WTF?
Statements like that tell me that our opponents are bankrupt, totally, absolutely bankrupt. They have nothing.
Pethodic is more like it.
-_- you got to be kidding me ( http://alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/large/misc-are-you-fucking-kidding-me-clean-l.png )
I dunno, they sounds like pretty much every Christian I’ve ever known.
these people only represent the warped , backwards type of christian. IM sure if given half a chance these PAC wierdos would turn into one big pole smoking beaver munching orgy
So, now they think coming out gives you AIDS?! Sheesh!
Lets just hog tie these morons up and whip there butts like the KKK.
Actually, I think we should give them hairdos by inserting their heads into one anothers rectums and then having them defecate one another. :-{P} <3
Ohhhh, so now being gay causes throat cancer as well… Guess that’s from all the cock sucking?? You think this throat cancer would be devastating to the heterosexual population since men love and good old fashioned blow job from the wifey or do they have a special lining in their throat to protect them from the cancer like the one they have to keep them from getting pregnant when’s it’s forced or unwanted.. What surprises me the most is that these people with no medical backgrounds or more than likely formal educations even have a voice to spread the hate that they vomit. There is no hope for the human race when you have such ignorance in the world..
Haters gonna hate
christians… Ugh
The language used by this politician is slightly disgusting.
There goes the wing-nut side of the Republican party – insensitive and uninformed guess that’s why they are so ignorant!
Amazing.
Just more fuel for the Supreme Court and future generations to nullify them, and totally vote against them. Keep it comin’! Spread your hate.
They are so proud of themselves for being able to make stuff up on the spot and reinforce the nonsense of others around them as it suits their needs and all without missing a beat– so it must be true (to them)!!! &-{/} <3
and since when is group marriage part of our agenda? That’s the Mormons, and you people nominated one of them
*sigh*
God I hate religion. Especially Christians. Biggest hypocrites ever!
Screw you William Murray. The only thing destructive about being gay is listening to the abusive verbal comments and physical gay bashing that closeted self hating gays do in the name of “their” lord.
Excuse my language but FUCK THEM!!!
Oh, how classy.
They’re alienating this man further by comparing his son to bank robbers and coke addicts and saying he’s going to contract AIDS. How anyone could see their behavior and see a rational argument is beyond me.
WTH?! Those are NOT “Christians” by any definition that I was ever taught!
they are the worst of shit!
Oh my GOD!
Andrew Miller needs to stop channeling Billy Sunday!
Get his arse out of his basket stop judging others and GET A FRICKING LIFE!
Gads!
That man has been sniffing tree sap for too damn long!
Ignore them. AIDS is a disease, not a curse.
” He doth protest too much “
I hope the fucking tool dies a very slow and painful death for what he said about his son. And I hope soon.
I don’t understand how anybody could treat their own flesh and blood in such a manner, I hope that man gets what he deserves.
nice folks from WESTMINISTER CHURCH been by again?
That’s only one problems with the right wing extremists….the fact that AIDS is NOT a gay disease….they don’t read any facts they just spew hate…..time to shut them down they should have NO relavance in the politics of the US…..
And the PAC may die of shit for brains syndrome
Again with the AIDS nonsense? Because straight people never have buttsex and lesbians don’t exist, apparently.
Well said Bob!!!!
I can just imagine Jesus looking down, shaking his head and screaming “STOP FUCKING UP MY GOOD NAME YOU, ASSHOLES!”
handsome kid. The far right can bark all they want
Jesus must weep over and over at hate!
He certianly doesn’t speak for all Christians, only for himself and who cares what “he” thinks……
