Secretary Hillary Clinton’s speech on defending LGBT rights abroad and the new Obama administration policy to protect people around the world who are jailed, beaten and executed for being LGBT have been met with intense uproar from the Religious Right.
"This country cannot continue to violate God’s principles and to make a mockery of His laws and think we’re going to get away with it. And when the blow comes, it’s going to be horrible."
- Pat Robertson
“The inmates have taken over the asylum.”
- Vic Eliason of Voice of Christian Youth America
“Radical sexual anarchist agenda.”
- Mat Staver, Liberty Council
And the best for last... "So what if other countries put people in prison for creating pro-gay organizations, it's not like they're killing them, right? We're the bad guys for refusing them aid because of it!" Yeah, really.
"It’s crazy. They’re saying it’s all homophobia in Nigeria, according to the law I guess in Nigeria not only is gay marriage a crime punishable by a fourteen year jail term but any person who registers, operates or participates in gay organizations faces a decade in jail, a clause that specifically targets the many active sexuality-rights advocacy groups in the country. Alright, but they’re not killing them are they? Are they going to go to jail?"
