Christian conservative and Colorado
House hopeful Gordon “Dr. Chaps” Klingenschmitt on Tuesday
reacted to gay and lesbian couples getting marriage licenses in three
Colorado counties.

of gay couples marry in three Colorado counties.)
On his web show, Pray in Jesus Name
Project, Klingenschmitt, a Republican, reminded the clerks that
homosexuality carries a “penalty” that amounts to “spiritual
death.”
“They say, 'Oh, it's all about love.'
No, it's about lust, it's about selfishness,” Klingenschmitt
said. “They don't care about the other person, they want
self-gratification for themselves, contrary to their own nature,
contrary to what God designed for them. And they receive in
themselves the penalty for that error.”
“The penalty for that sin is not just
STDS or some biological curse, not just AIDS, but they receive into
themselves the demonic spirit that rules their hearts, and with that
comes ultimately the consequence of spiritual death.”
He added that he's just delivering
God's message then he tells gay men and lesbians that they're “going
to hell.” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
