Antigay Texas activist: Soviets created gays to destroy U.S., like ‘termites’

You have been warned, says Steve Hotze, the antigay leader of the hatemongering Conservative Republicans of Texas.

“The homosexual movement has really infiltrated” America, Hotze told a gathering in Houston. “Think of them like termites.

“They get into the wood of the house and they eat away at the very moral fabric of the foundation of our country.”

Hotze made these remarks Saturday to the anti-LGBTQ “Stand 4 Truth” conference, reports Right Wing Watch.

The homophobe who figured prominently in Houston’s defeat of the equal rights ordinance said he believes homosexuality was created by the former Soviet Union.

“This is exactly what the Marxist movement was all about… If you remember, Khrushchev came and said we’re going to get your country one way or another, and the way they want to do it is to destroy the moral fabric and create moral anarchy in our country so that our people no longer live righteous lives but they’re living lives that are ungodly.”
