An “ex-gay” activist over the
weekend claimed that “anyone with a brain” can understand why
gays and lesbians should not be allowed to marry.
Stephen Bennett of Stephen Bennett
Ministries and Daddy Pants Industries appeared on Saturday's edition
of Understanding the Times with “end times” broadcaster
Jan Markell.
On the program, Bennett and Linda
Harvey of Mission America denounced the “minuscule” group of
“militant activists who are trying to turn this country upside
down” by pushing for greater equality for sexual minorities.

“They're basically marching in with
their fist shaking, saying, ‘We demand equality, homosexuality is
equivalent to heterosexuality,'” Bennett
said. “Folks, it is not, anyone with a brain realizes it is
not equal. People have strayed so far away from God's design of
marriage. Marriage isn't to be decided by a government or judges or
courts, this is God, God is the one who designed this.”
