Motivational speaker Frank Turek says
he's out to warn gay people to avoid getting run over by a truck,
RightWingWatch.org
reported.
Turek, who penned the book Correct,
Not Politically Correct: How Same-Sex Marriage Hurts Everyone,
opines in an op-ed published Monday on the AFA's
Rightly Concerned blog that he's warning gay and lesbian people
to alter their sexuality out of love and concern for their welfare.
“Celebrating behavior that leads to
disease and an early death is closer to hate than love,” Turek
wrote. “According to the latest data from the Center for Disease
Control, homosexual men comprise more than 80 percent of sexually
transmitted HIV cases despite comprising less than 2 percent of the
population. The FDA says that men who have sex with men have an HIV
infection rate 60 times higher than the general population. Why
should we be encouraging behavior that results in such tragic
outcomes? If I have good reason to think you are on the road to
destruction – if a truck is about to run over you – the only way
to love you is to urge you to get out of the street.”
“If I tell you to keep walking down
that road – that I celebrate the road you're on – how could I
hate you more?” the Charlotte, South Carolina-based speaker added.
