This guy seems to be nothing more than a grifter after his own pile of gold coins. He has no idea who actually has homosexual relations in his town and I will tell you my source: was friends with a couple of gay people in my rural area (they have since moved away) and you would not BELIEVE how many gudolboyz knocked on their doors at all hours. The gudolboyz' girlfriends and wives just didn't satisfy them, I guess. They needed that occasional male-on-male outlet. Whatevs.

I never judged or told a soul what I knew about some of of these fine upstanding men of the community, these "sodomites" who publicly demonized gays. It's none of my business what other people get up to in private, as long as everyone consents and is of age to do so. I'll never understand the fascination and abject FEAR fundies have over other people's private sex lives, but I suspect it's got a lot to do with the shaming done to build cults through religious training.

Seriously, who sits around all day obsessing over what someone else does with their genitals or whom they love? It's a sickness, really--some form of mental illness. If you have a life, you don't have time to be fascinated and appalled at the wild imaginings of your mind when it comes to another's private life.

This fine example of Tennessee hatred may even engage in relations with other men himself. We have all seen that some of the biggest opponents of gay marriage, the family values types, often cannot come to terms with their own sexual propensities. It's frightening when you've been told you'll go to hell. So I guess god ain't lookin' when you do this shit in private? Because guys just like this dude do some real kinky shit in private, if my friends are to be believed. And there is resentment that others are open about it--perhaps the public passion against it is their fear that they will be outed if LGBT relationships aren't seen as anything but ordinary.

The truth is, he probably sells a lot of overpriced, dusty crap that no gay people want anyway, his sales suck, and he wants a big GoFundMe total for his religious-based bigotry.

Gimme the MONEY!--I mean, gimme that old tyme religion!!!!!
