Anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera,
president of the Illinois-based Americans For Truth About
Homosexuality (AFTAH), has compared gay rights supporters to Nazis.
In the course of discussing the Human
Rights Campaign's (HRC) Export of Hate campaign, and his
inclusion in it, with Janet Mefferd, LaBarbera claimed gay rights
supporters are “doing to us what the Nazis did to the Jews.”
LaBarbera
is quoted in the HRC report as saying, “When you have two men
raising a young child, that child grows up learning dysfunction and a
sexual perversion as normal.”
LaBarbera suggested to Mefferd that
appearing in the report left him vulnerable to attacks.
“We have to trust God to protect us,”
he said.
“This demonization is just – it's
what's been done to minorities [in] the past and like I said, it's
what the Nazis did to the Jews,” LaBarbera
said. “We're losing our freedoms.”
