Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant Says He's Willing to Die in Support of Anti-LGBT Discrimination
http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/johnwright/mississippi_gov_phil_bryant_says_he_s_willing_to_die_in_support_of_anti_lgbt_discriminationRepublican Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant says he and other Christians will continue to fight for their right to discriminate against LGBT people, even if it means being crucified — literally.
Bryant made the comments last week during an acceptance speech at the Family Research Council's "Watchmen on the Wall" briefing for pastors in Washington, where he received the anti-LGBT hate group's first "Samuel Adams Religious Freedom Award." ...
“They would say if you are in the industry of dealing with weddings, the solemnization of marriages, then at the point of a bayonet we’re going to force you to abandon your deeply held religious beliefs and become involved in that ceremony. No accommodation will be offered to you," Bryant said. He also suggested that prisoners at Guantanamo Bay now have more religious freedom than business owners in Mississippi.
“Where do they believe we are at now?" Bryant said. "Do they think we will simply abandon that? They don’t know us very well, do they? They don’t know that Christians have been persecuted throughout the ages. They don’t know that if it takes crucifixion, we will stand in line before abandoning our faith and our belief in our savior Jesus Christ. So if we are going to stand, now is the time and this is the place.”

All the cool kids knows that Manimal proved science is cool a long time ago. 
Though this is more of a circle jerk or a circular firing squad.
