I suppose that the media of the extreme right make their living capitalizing on the hatred and bigotry of the Republican base.  Now Joseph Farah, editor of World Net Daily, has gone above and beyond the call of duty in his expression of hatred for gay people.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"14farah\"Joseph Farah, the editor of WorldNetDaily<\/em><\/span>, laments about the gains of the gay-rights movement. According to Farah [WND delinked], the Lawrence v. Texas<\/em><\/span> decision which said that state anti-sodomy laws were unconstitutional was a tragedy for the country because it effectively stopped states from criminalizing sin. He claims that \u201cfrom murder, to theft, to adultery, to child molestation,\u201d people have \u201cthe right and the duty\u201d to make laws banning \u201csinful behavior,\u201d including sodomy<\/strong>. He insists that gay people and their allies are simply inventing new rights and that the LGBT community is only using the marriage debate \u201cto demonstrate they are \u2018oppressed\u2019\u201d because they have \u201cno real interest in marriage\u201d:<\/font><\/p>\n

Take a 5,000-year-old institution ordained by God that has worked all over the world and trash it because some a group of sinful, prideful people with no real interest in marriage<\/font> wants to use it to demonstrate they are "oppressed."<\/strong> <\/font><\/p>\n

Keep in mind, it was the federal government that made all this inevitable with the Supreme Court case Lawrence v. Texas, in which it presumed to tell the people of that great republic they had no business enforcing laws against sodomy. Justice Antonin Scalia predicted in short order the ruling would open the door to something unimaginable a decade ago \u2013 same-sex marriage. He was right.<\/font><\/p>\n

I know people who have been living together monogamously for years in clearly committed relationships and want nothing more than to marry, but cannot.  I knew a lesbian couple.  When one was killed in an auto accident, her parents claimed the body and would not permit her partner to attend her funeral.  For Farah to say they have no real interest in marriage epitomizes Republican hate toward the LGBT community.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
