Pastor Patrick Wooden and anti-gay
rights activist Peter LaBarbera are certain that nobody wants their
kids to be gay.
Wooden, a pastor at Raleigh's Upper
Room Church, appeared Wednesday on LaBarbera's Americans for Truth
Hour radio show, media watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
A strong supporter of North Carolina's
gay marriage ban, Amendment One, Wooden predicted that young people
who support marriage equality will change their minds when they
become parents.
“Young people grow up and it's
amazing what happens when you become a mom or a dad yourself. It's
amazing what happens when, all of a sudden now you are entrusted with
a young life and that kid looks just like you and all of a sudden now
it's your little boy or your little girl. No one wants their son to
be a homosexual. No one wants their daughter to be a homosexual,”
Wooden said.
LaBarbera agreed: “The liberals are
now saying, they are going around saying how happy they would be if
their son came home, or their daughter, and said 'I'm gay' And it's
almost like they are arguing against nature that they are trying to
persuade themselves because honestly I don't think many would be
happy, and it's not something to be happy about to know that your son
or daughter is entering an aberrant and immoral lifestyle. And yet,
that's what they keep saying.”
“Well, they're saying that be we know
that's not true. No one, no one would want their child – even the
homosexual father doesn't want his son to be homosexual; the lesbian
mother does not want her daughter to be lesbian,” Wooden added.
Wooden has previously claimed that gay
men shove cellphones up their anuses and that sodomy
is okay for heterosexual married couples.
