Bryan Fischer of the Christian
conservative group American Family Association (AFA) has compared
homosexuality to eating “the faces off homeless people.”
In an op-ed titled It's Altogether
Right To Discriminate Against Homosexual Behavior published at
RenewAmerica.com,
Fischer argued that discrimination should be promoted under certain
instances.
“The truth is that public policy is
about nothing other than discrimination,” Fischer wrote. “This
is what public policy is all about: using good judgment to
distinguish those behaviors that are worthy of public approval from
those behaviors which ought to receive public disapproval.”
“Public policy is about
discriminating against behaviors that are socially destructive and
corrosive to the social fabric. So, we rightly discriminate against
people who rip off convenience stores, burgle houses, drive while
drunk, eat the faces off homeless people, gunning down servicemen on
military bases, embezzle funds from employers or clients, or beat
their wives.”
“If a man's actions are contrary to
good public policy, it is altogether right that society should
discriminate against such behaviors by, at a minimum, expressing
public disapproval of such conduct.”
“[W]e discriminate against sexually
immoral and inappropriate behavior all the time, and homosexual
behavior is sexually immoral and inappropriate.”
“Does DOMA discriminate against
immoral sexual behavior? Yes, and it should. Do state marriage
amendments that protect man-woman marriage discriminate against
unnatural sexual behavior? Yes, and they should.”
Fischer ended his op-ed not by
explaining how being gay was contrary to good public policy but
instead stating that a caring “rational” society would
discriminate against gay people: “A rational culture that cares
about its people will in fact discriminate against adultery,
pedophilia, rape, bestiality, and, yes, homosexual behavior.”
