Christian conservative Bryan Fischer
told his radio audience Tuesday that God is “repulsed” by gay
sex.
A caller from Macon, Georgia argued
that he was born a Christian and wanted to know why he has “fewer
rights” than gays, who claim that sexual orientation is an
immutable characteristic.
“That's a good argument.” Fischer
replied.
“I was born this way. And you know,
you think about it Terry, who would choose, at this time in our
nation's history to be a Christian? … I mean, who would choose a
lifestyle where you are the unending subject of ridicule, mockery,
and contempt by liberals in society, by elites, by professors, on the
media, by politicians? Who's going to choose that? So our defense
is, hey, I was born that way.”
After admitting that “faith is a
matter of choice,” Fischer insisted that being repulsed by
homosexuality was instinctual.
“I think that most of us have an
instinctive, I think revulsion is not too strong of a word, to the
act of homosexuality, what actually happens when homosexuals come
together and engage in sexual congress,” Fischer
said. “We look at that and there is just an inner revulsion to
that.”
“God has the same reaction that you
and I do,” he added, “but that instinctive revulsion that we have
when we think about homosexuality, I was born that way.”
