Bryan Fischer has called on all 50 states
to ban gay sex, media watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
Speaking on his radio show Focal
Point, which is hosted by the Christian conservative group
American Family Association (AFA), Fischer called on all 50 states to
outlaw homosexuality.
Despite pointing out that in 2003 the
Supreme Court struck down sodomy laws in Lawrence v. Texas,
Fischer argued that there is no reason why the states could not make
it a criminal offense once again.
“Both of the cases that went to the
United States Supreme Court that dealt with the issue of whether
states should criminalize sodomy, and, of course, they still ought to
be able to do it. Every state in the union criminalized sodomy until
1962 and then forty-nine states until 1972, then they began to fall
like dominoes,” Fischer said on his Monday broadcast.
“But by the time of the founding
until the late 20th Century, homosexual activity was a
felony offense in the United States of America. There is no reason
why it cannot be a criminal offense once again, absolutely none.”
