Buster Wilson of the Christian
conservative American Family Association (AFA) has warned that
legalizing gay marriage would lead to people marrying objects and
animals, media watchdog RightWingWatch.org
reported.
On Thursday's episode of American
Family Radio's AFA Today, Wilson told co-host Ed Vitagliano
that allowing gay couples to marry would open the door to numerous
other relationships.
“So that's why we are among many
others who are fighting so vigorously for the traditional marriage,
and it is because it is not just that we are – we're not homophobic
and we just hate homosexuals – but that whole mindset is being
pushed upon America and the end result of America giving into it is
that the door is flung open,” Wilson said. “And it's more than
just homosexual marriage or homosexual relationships that will come
out of it, polygamy comes out of it. What's the term?”
“Polyamory,” Vitagliano said.
“Polyamory, that's gonna come out of
it. We have talked about people who brought to the forefront their
desire to marry – one guy had a desire to marry a building, another
one a car, another one his dog. It's just unbelievable. If you
throw off the restraints and you say there's no Christianity that's
going to guide how we look at this issue as a nation, then anything
goes,” he added. (The video is embedded in the right panel of this
