North Carolina pastor Patrick Wooden has said gay men need butt plugs or diapers “just to be able to contain their bowels,” media watchdog RightWingWatch.org reported.

Wooden, a pastor at Raleigh's Upper Room Church, is an outspoken supporter of North Carolina's proposed constitutional amendment that would bar the state from recognizing the unions of gay couples with marriage, civil unions and possibly domestic partnerships.

Speaking on the radio show of Peter LaBarbera, the president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), Wooden claimed that homosexuality would “most certainly mean the extinction of the human race.”

“The God of the Bible made the human sperm, the God of the Bible designed it and it was not designed to be emptied into an area that is filled with feces, there is nothing for it to germinate with. It will most certainly mean the extinction of the human race.”

“My belief is that if the medical community would just step forward and just would share with the American people what happens to the male anus, the problems that homosexuals have with their rectums, the damage that is done, the operations that are needed to sew up their bodies if you will, and how many of the men don't even give these stitches time to heal before they are back out there practicing that wicked behavior. Some are bleeders, men who are not turned off by ingesting the feces of other men.”

“If the truth was told, people would literally gag and no one would want to be in a lifestyle like that,” Wooden added. “Who wants to practice anything that is going to ultimately lead a grown man to by the time he's in his 40s or 50s, or what not, having to wear a diaper or a 'butt plug' just to be able to contain their bowels?” (The audio is embedded in the right panel of this page.
