Christian conservative Star Parker has
suggested that President Barack Obama's support for gay rights is
turning Americans into “a bunch of zombies.”
Parker, the founder of the Washington,
D.C.-based Christian ministry Center for Urban Renewal and Education
(CURE), made her remarks in an interview with Joseph Farah, the
editor and founder of WND.
“[W]hat this president has done to
damage the Christian community to where – and the laws that are
coming out of places like the state of California and others. You
know, in California where you've got the boy going into the girls'
bathroom,” Parker said, a reference to a recent law that allows
transgender students access to the bathroom and locker room of their
choice.
“But the laws, um, the laws that are
pushing homosexuality out into society. When, when, when you have
this type of vileness exalted, the wicked go on the prowl. That's
what the Proverbs says, so in that the wicked can now go on prowl,
people with the resources will now pull away, and so they become much
more private.”
“So while you have ill activity now
in the public square, you have those decent people in quiet
communities becoming much more, you know, refined, and more closed.
And that's not healthy for us as a society because when you go start
walking out in the public square and nobody talks to each other,
that's what they do in Europe. They're just a bunch of zombies and
we don't want that as Americans,” she added.
