There's a video posted on the official White House YouTube page calling homosexuality the devil's wo

Source: Marketwatch

‘It’s a demonic spirit that causes another woman to want to lie with another woman. It’s a demonic spirit that causes another man, a man, to be attracted to another man.’

That’s just a snippet of Bishop Jerry Wayne Taylor’s fiery, and anti-gay, sermon over the weekend, which followed a speech by Vice President Mike Pence and was live streamed by the White House.

“God didn’t make us for that. He made a man to be a man,” Taylor said. “If you want to know what God made you, when you go to the bathroom, just check your plumbing. What kind of plumbing are you using?”

He then warned that any man who was attracted to him would “get in trouble.”

Taylor went on to call homosexuality “unnatural,” saying it’s unique to humans. “You never see two male animals coming together,” he said, wrongly. “We’ve got to expose what the devil is doing.”

It's like you want to sit the guy down and explain.....hey, dude, apparently you're having these feelings and they're perfectly natural. If that's your thing, so what? Go live your life and be merry. If you're thinking about hooking up with Mike Pence, knock yourself out. No one cares.

OK I am a dumb ass old straight guy but how long before Jerry Wayne Taylor is busted
coming out of "The Boy's Club" bar and spa? Screaming closet case.

BTW if you are a guy and not into that gay stuff then don't have sex with other men. It
is really easy to do.

He'd be treated to facts of this nature:

In scientific literature, the female–female behavior of bonobos pressing genitals together is often referred to as genito-genital (GG) rubbing,[45][49] which is the non-human analogue of tribadism, engaged in by some human females. This sexual activity happens within the immediate female bonobo community and sometimes outside of it. Ethologist Jonathan Balcombe stated that female bonobos rub their clitorises together rapidly for ten to twenty seconds, and this behavior, "which may be repeated in rapid succession, is usually accompanied by grinding, shrieking, and clitoral engorgement"; he added that it is estimated that they engage in this practice "about once every two hours" on average.


The males do similar things with each other.

And there are no permanent monogamous sexual relationships (hetero or otherwise) formed, I might add.

They basically have so much sex with each other (male and female) that no male knows which child is his, so they all raise the families as a community.

Their society is also run by the Females.

Along with Chimps, they are the closest relatives to humans.

It's, y'know, indoor plumbing.

I'm modern that way.

"....you never see two male animals coming together..." WRONGO BISHUP BUTTHEAD. Ask any one who has worked with breeding livestock, bisexuality is more common than you think. In short, I've personally owned male breeding livestock that would exhibit clear homosexual behavior if nothing else was available. Female as well, classic sign of estrus is female mounting anything. Softer version of paint ball used in cattle to monitor mounting for estrus checks years ago.

because there are not enough beds in the house. And sleeping on the floor does your back in. But the Reverend didn't think of that, because he has SEX on his mind all the time.

But if being gay is the Devil's work, I'd like to see some proof, not just someone's black and white rabble rousing opinion.

I think Trump is the Devil's work, but don't ask me for proof. (See how this works both ways equally well?)

The fundy Christian's main point was Jesus is coming again any minute now. I wasn't such an atheist in those days, but when he mentioned demons I started laughing.

He got even more serious and started enumerating various evidences (as he saw it) for their existence.

Gay men, see? What man could willingly suck a dick without being demon possessed?

Please note: He wasn't arguing that gayness was caused by demonic possession, he was using the existence of gayness as proof of the existence of demons.

My conversation stopper: It's not supported by a literal reading of scripture. The Old Testament prohibits buggery and mentions demons, but doesn't make the connection.

I'm pretty sure he didn't know I am gay.

I am totally out now of course.
