He's back!!! Tom DeLay: I have a ‘right’ to not serve gay sinners [View all]

Former House Speaker Tom DeLay (R-TX) blasted the governors of Indiana and Arkansas this week for changing religious liberty laws to prevent discrimination against LGBT people.

“This is the result of the gay agenda,” DeLay told Newsmax host Steve Malzberg on Monday. “We’re now seeing what the gay agenda is all about. Our religious liberty, as you know, Steve, is the bedrock of our country. As it’s described in the Declaration of Independence, that we get our rights from our creator, somebody bigger than us. And from that, we get truth, with the values by which we live. And from that, we’re good people that can govern through the Constitution.”

“Religious liberty is the foundation of this country, and what they’re trying to do is undermine religious liberty so that they become an accepted sexual orientation,” the former House Speaker continued. “And we have got to fight this battle to the bitter end because when you let the government dictate to you what you believe and what your values are, this county is finished.”
