Bryan Fischer
I want to say thanks to whoever emailed me the YouTube link to the video below, which was posted online by RightWingWatch.org.
The video is basically audio of a rant by Bryan Fischer, host of Focal Point on the AFA (American Family Association) Channel, in which Fischer explains why “Homosexuals are Nazis.” Never mind that the Nazis targeted the gays and lesbians in Germany for extermination along with the Jews and other groups. Never mind that gays and lesbians — and transgenders and bisexuals — are targeted daily by bigots and homophobes who deny us equal treatment under the law, who deny us protection against discrimination in housing and employment, and who way too often get away with harassing us verbally and physically attacking us, leaving many of us seriously injured if not dead.
Never mind all that, Mr. Fischer says. Because we refuse to sit idly by and allow their hatred against us to go unchallenged, we are Nazis. It makes my blood boil!
So why would I want to listen to this homophobic jerk’s rant? Why would I post it here on Instant Tea? Because the best advice in any battle is, “Know thine enemy.” So here you go. Now, where did I leave my jackboots?
OHMyGosh, I can’t believe he’s using the Catholic Church/Galileo example against gays. That scenario is better served (and is an example I use) to show how scripture was wrongfully used to argue for a stationary earth, just like scripture is now wrongfully used against LGBT people. Yeah, like I want this hate-monger representing my family – makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
