Benham Bros: Obama Letting Trans People Pee Is Like the Joker in The Dark Knight – Both Cause Chaos

http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/davidbadash/watch_benham_brothers_say_hb2_is_a_tool_of_the_devil_to_cause_a_revolution_of_chaos

The Benham Brothers say laws that allow transgender people to use restrooms that correspond with their gender identity and laws that allow same-sex couples to marry aren't really about those civil rights issues at all – they're about allowing the Devil to cause chaos.

In a Facebook video posted last week that's been viewed well over 8 million times, Jason Benham says the Obama administration is "basically mandating that all public schools in the entire nation, that we have to open up our bathrooms – especially girls' bathrooms – to boys." It's unclear why he says "especially girls' bathrooms."

Benham goes on to claim, "the fact that the Department of Justice and Obama and Department of Education is doing this, it’s leading us into absolute chaos."

"Here’s the interesting thing," says Benham, who, with his brother David and father, street preacher Flip Benham, have spent years in North Carolina attacking the LGBT community. "You guys remember the movie 'The Dark Knight,' when the Joker is hanging off the building and Batman is holding on to him and Batman’s like, 'What do you want?' and the Joker just says, 'Chaos!'? Well that’s what we are experiencing right now," he concludes.




Fun fundie fact: Flip Benham converted Norma McCorvey. Yes, you have heard of Norma, under the pseudonym Jane Roe. That's riht. Jane Roe is now a fundie. I met her once, before this, obviously, after a pro-choice rally in Baton Rouge. She was sitting there all alone!
