Christian conservative Mat Staver has
declared gay rights “literally an attack on God himself.”
During an appearance on In the
Market with Janet Parshall, Staver, who heads Liberty Counsel,
chided Christians who either support LGBT rights or have given up the
fight.
“There is some resolution to say,
'Oh, we've lost this battle. We just need to figure out how to move
forward and coexist,'” Staver
said.
“And that is a wrong, very dangerous
position to be in. You cannot coexist. You cannot give up on
something that is literally an attack on God himself.”
Staver went on describe marriage
equality as defying the “natural created order.”
“To assume that you can go against
the created order is hubris, it's arrogance, it's dangerous and it is
not something in which we can simply say, 'the battle's over. We
need to figure out how to coexist.'”
“There is no coexistence,” he
concluded.
