Anti-gay activist Peter LaBarbera said
Friday that Christian conservatives should not support Donald Trump's
presidential campaign because he once attended the wedding of a gay
couple.
“Trump went to a so-called gay
wedding himself of a friend in New York,” LaBarbera
told Bryan Fischer on his Focal
Point
radio show. “And he was quoted as saying, 'It was a beautiful
thing.' Trump said that the gay wedding, so-called, that he went to
between two men was a beautiful thing. And you have to ask yourself,
Bryan, how many Christians … would say that a homosexual so-called
marriage is a beautiful thing?”
Fisher agreed, saying that the “proper
Christian response” to a gay couple's wedding is “grief and
sorrow.”
“If you have a biblical worldview,
you'd be grieved for them,” he said. “You'd be grieved for what
they're heading into, grieved for the way in which homosexual
behavior separates them from God, the risks that it's putting them
at, the risk that it's going to put children to if they're adopted
into that household. So the proper response would not be joy, it
would not be celebration; the proper Christian response would be
grief and sorrow over what these two people are doing to themselves
and also to others.”
Polls show Trump leading in Iowa among
Republicans as the state kicks off primary season.
