In North Carolina, where there is an amendment to write homophobia into the state constitution, Sean Harris, one of the advocates for that 'Amendment One' said the following in a 'Marriage Sunday' sermon:
Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting to Butch you reign her in. And you say, Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.
You say, Can I take charge like that as a parent?
Yeah, you can. You are authorized. I just gave you a special dispensation this morning to do that.

Also from the same piece of shit:
Amendment 1 pastor warns same-sex marriage could cause Muslims to 'take over us'
Amendment 1 pastor says 'sick and ungodly' gays are 'not good for America'
Is telling parents to physically abuse their children in a way that would get them a prison sentence itself illegal?

Thanks much, pastor. That sounds like a great recipe for raising tolerant, loving, trusting, children.
Aww, FUCK IT, who are we kidding, preacherman? That is nothing but a perfect recipe for raising more Marcus Bachmanns.
After all, confused, angry, and afraid is what we want for all of God's children, right?

gratuitous
(82,849 posts)This is Exhibit A. Imagine growing up in a family that sticks to these twisted beliefs, with the full endorsement and encouragement of some demented pastor pretending to speak for God almighty. Yeah, it's easy to ridicule this nonsense from the safety and comfort of a far different environment, but for a person growing up with this, there's so much more alienation and self-loathing. Toss in some "well meant" child abuse, and Sean Harris gets to officiate at the memorial services for a lot of suicides.
Just plain nauseating.
