http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2012/02/10/The_Anti_Ellen_Who_Is_Sandy_Rios_Anyway/When Bill O'Reilly defended Ellen DeGeneres this week as spokesperson for JCPenney, he invited Fox News contributor Sandy Rios to argue the other side which she not only did with gusto but has also followed up today with a lengthy op-ed explaining why picking DeGeneres will lead to the "the complete eradication of the traditional family."
Rios argues that supporting the lesbian comedian, who is married to another woman, actress Portia de Rossi, means you might as well be supportive of teaching anal fisting to junior-high students. It's like advocating cutting off children's breasts, she says, and it could lead to "closed-door graphic orientations by homosexual students to children as young as fourteen."
Those are some of the things Rios claims are already "happening while America nods in acquiescence." She writes about them in an op-ed posted on a website affiliated with the American Family News Network.
Rios is not only a Fox News contributor since 2005, but she is also vice president of Family-Pac Federal, which raises money to support conservative candidates such as Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sen. Jim DeMint. She is a former radio talk show host and former president of Culture Campaign. Her history of antigay rhetoric goes way back.

(3,122 posts)I saw her once on Bill Maher's show. She argued that ancient Rome recognized gay marriage & that it was the cause of the fall of the Roman Empire!! And she said that if we allow gay marriage in this country, it will be the end of us too!
I remember Ian McKellan was on the panel, he said, "she's a lovely lady to be so screwed up in the head!!
