US Christian group claims gays are trying to 'reintroduce slavery in theSouth'

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/05/16/us-christian-group-claims-gays-are-trying-to-reintroduce-slavery-in-the-south/

A Christian pressure group with strong ties to the Republican Party has claimed that gay people are trying to “reintroduce slavery”.

The disgusting smear comes from the American Family Association, a Christian non-profit which claims to “promote the biblical ethic of decency in American society”.

...

The group said: “For the government to force someone to do work that violates his conscience is nothing less than tyranny. And for a man to be compelled under threat of punishment to perform work against his will is slavery.

“The reality is that the LGBT lobby is the reincarnation of some of the worst elements of the mindless prejudice of the Old South in its irrational venom toward people (Christians) who are not like them. The rainbow flag is the new Confederate flag. It is as much a symbol of bigotry as that flag ever was in the minds of the left.


Poor sad little bigots.
