NC pastor says punch and break the wrist of your child if you suspect he might be gay [View all]

In North Carolina, where there is an amendment to write homophobia into the state constitution, Sean Harris, one of the advocates for that 'Amendment One' said the following in a 'Marriage Sunday' sermon:

So your little son starts to act a little girlish when he is four years old and instead of squashing that like a cockroach and saying, “Man up, son, get that dress off you and get outside and dig a ditch, because that is what boys do,” you get out the camera and you start taking pictures of Johnny acting like a female and then you upload it to YouTube and everybody laughs about it and the next thing you know, this dude, this kid is acting out childhood fantasies that should have been squashed.
Can I make it any clearer? Dads, the second you see your son dropping the limp wrist, you walk over there and crack that wrist. Man up. Give him a good punch. Ok? You are not going to act like that. You were made by God to be a male and you are going to be a male. And when your daughter starts acting to Butch you reign her in. And you say, “Oh, no, sweetheart. You can play sports. Play them to the glory of God. But sometimes you are going to act like a girl and walk like a girl and talk like a girl and smell like a girl and that means you are going to be beautiful. You are going to be attractive. You are going to dress yourself up.”
You say, “Can I take charge like that as a parent?”
Yeah, you can. You are authorized. I just gave you a special dispensation this morning to do that.

Also from the same piece of shit:
Amendment 1 pastor warns same-sex marriage could cause Muslims to 'take over us'
Amendment 1 pastor says 'sick and ungodly' gays are 'not good for America'

Is telling parents to physically abuse their children in a way that would get them a prison sentence itself illegal?
