OK lawmaker: ‘Gays are infiltrating city councils.’»

The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund posted audio today of an Oklahoma state legislator giving a speech about the threat to America posed by gays and lesbians. In one case, the legislator compares homosexuality to “toe cancer.” Campus Progress has highlights of the clip:

— “Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it’s the death knell of this country.”

– “I honestly think it’s the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam, which I think is a big threat.”

– “Gays are infiltrating city councils.”

Listen to it:

UPDATE: Gay Politics has more.

    I respectfully disagree! Clearly, the biggest threat our nation faces at this very moment is toe cancer!

    Dammit! Why aren’t any of the candidates talking about toe cancer!
    What is Obama’s position on toe cancer?
    and Hillary?
    McBush?

    Nonsense. You catch teh gay by toe tappin’ in tight shoes. Whether or not the toe has teh cancer is insignificant.

    You can! This is, in fact, their key tactic in implementing the Gay Agenda. Here’s how it works.

    Step 1. Infiltrate basic cable with shows like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.
    Step 2. Convince straight guys that flip-flops are perfectly suitable for everyday use.
    Step 3. Watch as clueless straight guys everywhere embrace the new flip-flop fad, forgetting to apply SPF 45 sunscreen to their toes.
    Step 4. Fast-forward ten years to a MASSIVE OUTBREAK of Malignant Toe Melanoma.
    Step 5. Non-stop reruns of Will & Grace on CBN.

    Scared??? I AM!!!!

    What society that has totally embraced homosexuality? Where is this mystical magical place of only gay people? Is it in Europe? What’s its name? Is there a representative section in Epcot where I can get a flavor of their foods? What does their flag look like? What’s their national song and bird?

    What a mope.

    —————————————————

    The Oklahoma state legislator is pulling these “studies” out of his a$$. Homosexuality was accepted in ancient Greece and during the Roman empire — both civilizations that lasted for centuries.

    Or maybe when he says “totally embraced”, he means exclusively — banning heterosexuality? I can see how that WOULD be a detriment to our civilization, since heterosexuality does help keep the birthrate up. But somehow, I don’t believe that homophobia is necessary to keep this from happening.

    I just love how the word “infiltrating” is used, like this is some kind of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” scenario or something.

    This must be part of the “gay agenda” I always hear about. I have some gay friends — I must remember to ask them if it really IS true that through clever infiltration and other dot points on their gay agenda, they plan to take over and destroy the whole world.

    They’ve already indoctrinated my ass, and I rather enjoyed it.

    However, I was commenting upon this Lawmaker’s bigoted attempt to indoctrinate HATE into society.

    So does spooning count? What about sharing a tent? Or the “those aren’t pillows” scene from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles? The Bible doesn’t give enough detail!

    As Kamasutra teaches us, there exist a lot of positions that not involve “laying”.


  114. Dr. Grumpus Says:

    I’ve always wondered about this Leviticus quote bandied around so much. Not that it would be any less unacceptable, but doesn’t this really just pertain to bisexuals?

    “If a man {singular} also lie with mankind, as he {singular} lieth with a woman…”

    Well, if one is gay and doesn’t “lieth” with a woman, then he most likely wouldn’t lieth with mankind as he lieth with a woman since he doesn’t lieth with a woman.

    **************************************************

    Got news for ya, Frank — Old Testament law doesn’t just apply to sex and food. You might want to check the labels on your clothing, Frank!

    Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. (Lev. 19:19)

    Make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear. (Deut. 22:12)

    Are all of your clothes 100% wool or cotton, Frank? I’m inclined to guess that they’re not — lots of clothing these days is made out of blended fabrics. If you want to criticize and condemn other people for cherry-picking when it comes to the Biblical laws, you’d better be absolutely certain that you’re observing all of the laws to the letter yourself or else you’re no different from them and no better than they are — which in turn makes you nothing less than a prejudiced, sanctimonious, self-rationalizing hypocrite.


  117. NOLIESPLEASE Says:

    Our country ( Canada ) has passed laws allowing gay marraige. Hang on one sec,….let me look out the window and see if our society is coming apart…back in one sec…

    Ok , this is what I can tell you,……our dollar is strong….no mortgage problem here ( gays pay there mortgage), our banks have plenty of money ….. Everyone has health care (single payer)….not that many people are mad, we as a nation of 32million only had 520 murders for 2007…. women get 9 months for maternity leave….government subsidizes 75 % of higher education…..Our marijuana has recieved the gold cup in Amsterdam…. Everyone is happy!!!! Geez, I did not realize how bad we have it…..We’re socialist and everyone has the same rights….I guess were dammed . I knew we shouldn’t of allowed gays to marry.


  118. The Wolf Says:

    Frank is right. These texts need to be adhered to exactly as these are written. There is no room for interpretation.

    Therefore, if you discover your wife is not a virgin on your wedding night, you and the entire town are allowed to stone her to death.

    It’s right there in black and white. Right, Frank?

    Please America, don’t fall for this crap again! Gays and Lesbians are not a threat! Gays and Lesbians will not cause the downfall of our civilization.
    Listen, you got fooled once by the supposed “gay agenda”, and elected an idiot. What did it get you?
    9/11.
    Warrant less spying.
    A Recession.
    Gas prices unheard of.
    Nealy 4000 brave men and women dead, countless others injured, and who knows how many innocent Iraqi civilians.
    A record deficit.
    No jobs.
    A country divided like never before.
    The destruction of the Middle Class.
    I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
    No siree, it wasn’t the Gays and Lesbians that lead to the downfall of our great nation. It was the acceptance, and complacency of this administration’s actions.
    NUFF SAID!!!

    You pseudo (c)hristians crack me up.
    It was our Saviour who said that the two most important Commandments were to Honor Thy Father above all others, and to Love Thy Neighbor.
    Love. Get it?
    To isolate, to alienate a group of human beings is not love. Not at all!
    Yet you (c)hristians keep doing just that.
    And to have a same sex couple be loved, to feel accepted, to be happy, in no way endangers my marriage. Never has, never will.
    Get over it!
    It really is time to let go of the mythical gay agenda. There is no agenda, except to be loved, and accepted (basic human needs)

  126. PatrioticLiberalChristian Says:

    These Christian Pharisees are just like their Jewish ancestors that Jesus argued with and called liars, hypocrites, makers of their own law who keep others from following the path to heaven, and fools.

    As DRxJ stated, Jesus said the two greatest commandments are to love God and to love your neighbor. Most Christians probably know this. But do they know the VERY NEXT sentence that Jesus spoke in this passage? He said that ALL the law and the prophets are based on these two commandments. That is, God’s law is based on LOVE, nothing else. You can work on the Sabbath to heal someone because you love them. You don’t have to worry about eating the “wrong” food unless it can hurt you (which pork not cooked properly would have). You don’t have homosexual sex if you are heterosexual or as part of a pagan ritual if you are a follower of Yahweh. The Christian Pharisees don’t understand their own religion’s basis and yet demand that others follow it, THEIR WAY, and seek government intervention to accomplish that.

    I want my religion back. I want my democracy back.


  127. sacopenapa Says:

    “Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it’s the death knell of this country.”

    The Roman Empire ruled the civilized world embraced homosexuality and a normal sexual behavior. They lasted a lot more than just a few decades… their decline came after Christianity begun!


  128. sacopenapa Says:

    …besides, people who worry too much about other people’s sexuality are not so secure about their own, and most likely to be unhappy sexualy!


  129. PatrioticLiberalChristian Says:

    The Roman Empire fell, not because of homosexuality or Christianity. It fell because of the greedy, power hungry war mongers who were their leaders at the end and overextended their occupation of other countries. The death knell of any civilization is having this type of leaders too long in power. The citizens of the United States of America would do well to learn, remember, and act on THIS fact rather than the fallacy of the threat of homosexuals who just want to go about their business loving someone.

  133. NoMoreBush Says:

    Oy — as a reformed Oklahoman (haven’t lived there in 20 plus years), I just have to shake my head.

    As to the astute (sarcasm) legislator’s take on the whole civilizations crumble who have “embraced” homosexuality thingy — well, that’s not evebn original to this Okie dimwit. Something akin to this was first spouted by Steve Largent — a US Representative from, you got it, Oklahoma — Mr. Largent also is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, having had the golden hands for the Seattle Seahawks, and played college ball at the University of Tulsa in, you got it, Oklahoma. Methinks, Mr. Largent was a much better football player than a historian or self-professed theologian.

    Next, Frank M. needs to do a little more humility and a little less judgment. After all, that would be the Christian way.

    Last, no self-respecting gay man would ever admit to buying furniture from Ikea. We are a little more upscale than that!

    I just got back from a three week tour of the Oklahoma hinterlands.

    #1 in the nation for meth labs.
    #1 in the nation for incarceration of women.
    #4 in the nation for incarceration of men.

    Don’t bother asking me for links, as I will admit this is purely anecdotal information I received from the owner of a restaurant who also stated that he could see all of Roger Mills county from the roof of his restaurant, and he felt very secure knowing he could see any terrorists approaching.

    “Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades. So it’s the death knell of this country.”

    I have heard this right-wing talking point before, but I have yet to see anyone cite a source. Of course, even a few moments’ worth of thinking would clearly put this in the “out of his mind” category.

    Did no one think to ask if there has there been a society, at any point in history, which “totally embraced homosexuality”? If so, then what exactly does “totally embraced” mean?

    I am sick of people like this guy in OK. Quite frankly, the world is a better place where homosexuality is accepted. I’d rather spend a lifetime in Scandanavia or in the UK than to spend a minute in Oklahoma. Where do you think the better restaurants are - New York or Tulsa? Whereever religious fundamentalism reigns, society turns to shit. Whereever gays and lesbians are treated well and not discriminated against, things are pretty good.

    And just for comparisons’ sake, check out the differences in income, education, etc. between Massachusetts and Oklahoma. Doesn’t it seem like pro-gay beats out anti-gay?

    Yep like the Silver Flame, Jamiels, Freddies Steak house. I grew up with a lot of kids here in the sixties and we knew who they were but it wasn’t talked about….as we became adults we had to be real with each other though……mostly they are still in the closet here because of the hate…..T-Town that is.

    Studies show that no society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted more than, you know, a few decades.

    I suspect the studies this woman is referring to are the same that “prove” that the Earth is only 8,000 years old, that the flood, Noah, and his ark are indeed historical facts, and that Santa Claus does exist.

    So, yes, she’s on solid ground here… sound science…
