American Family Assoc proposes new "underground railroad" to kidnap children of same-sex couples



Bryan Fischer: Children Of Same-Sex Couples Must Be Saved Through ‘Underground Railroad’ Kidnapping

The American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer has sunk to a new, disturbing low with his anti-gay statements. In two separate tweets last night, he called for an “Underground Railroad to deliver innocent children from same-sex households.” In one tweet he was referring to the sad story of Lisa Miller, who, after declaring herself ex-gay, kidnapped her daughter away to Central America to prevent her former partner from having any custody. (She is still being tracked by federal agents as a fugitive of the law.)

I would almost (ALMOST) like to see them do this and be prosecuted on federal kidnapping charges ... but that would involve traumatizing children and families (obviously).So it is obviously not what I want.

WTF is wrong with these people?

and gave them to state approved purer "Aryan" families. Sounds the same to me.

They were not even allowed to speak the language they had been brought up with. So this is not a foreign concept. Americans have a history of thinking we know better than a group we deem beneath us.

So... they're equating kidnapping children with helping people escape from slavery? How ugly is this? Just... too many layers of horribleness. Oh, ouch.

Their world is crumbling and deep down they know it. If the best the have to offer is Romney then they really are in trouble. Poll are showing a shift in attitudes towards gay marriage. And more and more Americans are getting convinced that global warming is real.


Their lies are failing, and like a wounded animal, they lash out when cornered.
