The grifters were out in force over the gay marriage issue...

Lots of sales pitches, of course.

You see this correctly, Jim Bakker.

Rick Wiles: God Will Soon Destroy America Because Of Gay Marriage

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 6/1/2015 12:50 pm

End Times broadcasters Jim Bakker and Rick Wiles, the host of the far-right radio show “Trunews,” got together last week for a special program, “The Red Light is Flashing,” where Wiles warned that while God gave America a simple “paddling” with the 9/11 attacks, He may soon completely destroy the country as punishment for marriage equality.

Mike Heath: Gay Activists Intend To Export Sodomy 'To The Entire Universe'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 6/1/2015 12:16 pm

Back in 2009, when voters in Maine were facing a referendum on legalizing gay marriage in the state, the Maine Family Policy Council was unceremoniously dumped from the fight by national Religious Right groups because of the organization's tendency to warn that gay marriage would lead to things like graffiti, vandalism, and crop failure. The head of the MFPC at the time, Mike Heath, eventually resigned, only to resurface shortly thereafter in the same capacity with the state chapter of the American Family Association, before announcing a short-lived bid for governor. Not long thereafter, Heath turned up in Iowa, working as state director of Ron Paul's presidential campaign, before returning to Maine to run something called Helping Hands Ministires. In his current capacity, Heath continues to pen truly insane anti-gay diatribes, which are eagerly reposted on Matt Barber's BarbWire website, of course, such as his recent warning that satanic gay rights activists want to see "the export of sodomy to other worlds -- to the entire universe!":

It's all they've got. It's worked well for them so far, but they've clearly lost the anti-gay issue. There are still bigots to be mined, so mine they shall.
