So, these guys can bully LGBT with Death Penalties, Life Imprisonment and other horrors, but they are afraid of getting bothered by angry LGBT about their unholy deeds.

When I asked Scott Lively, the American evangelical pastor who travels the world and who takes credit for getting Russia's “gay propaganda" law passed, to name five prominent non-religious Americans who, like him and other anti-gay evangelical leaders, use science to argue that homosexuality is harmful, he refused to answer.

“I’m not going to give you the names, because as soon as I give the name of any person you can target, you’re going to destroy their lives,” Lively, who has called homosexuality a “behavioral disorder,” claimed. “I’m not going to expose them to gay-bullying.”

Lively, who also inspired Uganda lawmakers to pass the notorious anti-homosexuality law, is now running for governor in Massachusetts, the state that was first in the nation with marriage equality, so that he can “advance a biblical world view in an arena that hasn’t heard that in a while.” Lively wants to see an end to gay marriage and desires to bring anti-sodomy laws back to the United States, and, expanding on his recent suggestion of a coming anti-gay “revolution” and “Christian revival,” said he believes the revolution will happen if the “conservative states…rebel against the federal supremacy clause.”

1. He'll do well in Massachusetts

I predict at least two votes for him, and that's only if he votes three times.

Idiot.

2. Some just gotta have hatred, it's their schlick in life. Some have some pretty hefty mental issues.

3. Lively has a long record of loony statements.

He wrote a book saying gays "caused the Holocaust."
("The Pink Swastika&quot

He also says gays are part of the "New World Order Marxist/Illuminati" conspiracy to rule the world.

4. IMO a mental health evaluation of guys like this would prove quite revealing, but what is

more dangerous are those that listen to guys like this, the lambs that follow him.

7. Want to see just how loony Lively is?

Just look at his latest remarks.

On Sunday, Britain’s Channel 4 profiled American evangelical hatemonger Scott Lively and his role in helping Uganda pass its brutal anti-gay law last month.

Lively, who is currently running for governor of Massachusetts, is shown in the video linking gays to pedophilia, the Holocaust and Rwandan Genocide and calling President Obama a "homosexualist" who "may well be a homosexual himself."

But Lively maintains throughout the interview that his views and activism haven't contributed to any anti-gay hysteria in Uganda...

5. My heart goes out to the people of Massachusetts.

What a thing to have to endure. Thanks in advance for his electoral destruction.

6. Fundies have figured out that if they "run" for an office they know they can't win their ads can't

be rejected, and they can run them at steeply discounted rates. So the object isn't so much to get elected as to run graphic or offensive ads about culture war issues on stations that would otherwise never allow it.

Usually it's an excuse to run gory anti-abortion ads with a tiny campaign plug at the end, Lively will probably do the anti-gay version.

He has no illusions about actually getting elected. Any press that he gets will be a bonus as far as he's concerned. The point is the ads.

9. He infested Oregon for many years, along with his buddy Lon Mabon

They got three different anti-gay measures on the ballot.

Lon Mabon, the more prominent of the two, iooked as if he was hiding something, and when I asked gay friends about him, they agreed that he set off their gaydar. I didn't see that much of Scott Lively in the news, and he doesn't look as obvious, but other wise, why would someone make a life-long crusade of persecuting GLBT people?

10. It's a form of mental illness, their fixation and lust for persecution of LGBT. n/t
