First, the quote, then analysis. He’s got his back up about Glenn Beck here:
A student at Augusta State University has just been thrown out of the school’s counseling program – with the approval of a federal judge, no less – because she believes that homosexual relationships are unnatural. Her opportunity to pursue the career of her choice in a helping profession has now been shot to pieces. What about her, Glenn? You are giving aid and comfort to those who are destroying her vocational future because they want people to be able to use the rectum for sex without criticism.
Glenn, Glenn, Glenn: if special rights are given to people just because they want to use the alimentary canal for sexual purposes, no social conservative will be able to criticize homosexual behavior on biblical or moral grounds without running the risk of legal punishment.
[...]
But Glenn, our “Divine Destiny” as a nation does not include societal approval for people who want to use the anus for sex. The “Laws of Nature and Nature’s God” don’t endorse such behavior. And neither should you.
Note that Fischer isn’t just condemning people who DO use the anus for sex. He’s condemning all the people who simply want to use it for sex. He’s just condemned not only many gay men, but also a probable majority of the straight male population! My goodness, he may have condemned Glenn Beck! Also, his words apply to many Christian female college students who are “trying to keep their virginity intact.” And many, many others!
Bryan, Bryan, Bryan: Why do butts scare you so, and why do you hate everybody?
The rest of the piece is basically lies and insinuations about an imaginary American situation where old ladies are being imprisoned for life for hating gay people, or something. It’s the same four stories (five, now that they’re deliberately lying about the Augusta State story) they always tell about their “persecution,” but since the writer is Bryan Fischer, it’s really melodramatic and queeny. It’s really not worth reading, but if you feel inclined, knock yourself out.

I’m curious if Liberty University and Regent University both of which are Christian Private College will this ruling allow them to continue to have and permit their students to discriminate against the LGBT community? I was always under the impression that if a person be they professional counselor or Social Worker, working for a Christian organization would not be forced to adhere to the same standards?

Evan, I don’t think that it’s butts that scares Fischer. It’s just that when you are as homophobic as he is and definitely as big of an asshole as he is, he’s just afraid some gay out there is gonna want to have sex with him.
He just sells the gay community short, as usual. Most if not all gay men have enough good taste not to go near him.

I dunno, David, it screams “closet” to me, but then again, most anti-gay religious right leaders scream “closet,” so that’s nothing new.

More straight people should be offended by this whole debate. Straight people who like anal should be offended by stuff like this, straight people who get married should really be up in arms by people who claim the purpose of getting married is child raising (whether they want kids or not, that is NOT why most people marry)… I tell straight people they have a right to be offended by a lot of this stuff whenever I can, and they always say “I didn’t think about it that way”, and get offended.
Maybe there should be some kind of campaign urging straight people to speak out against these people who keep trying to speak for them in order to hurt LGBT people.

..so, he’s a supporter of lesbian marriage?
(i’m not saying lesbians don’t engage in such sexual acts, I’m simply going by his clear obsession with gay male sex only.)

Lesbians are presumably okay as long as they don’t get anywhere near each others’ butts?

Why are RRRWers so fixated on other men’s butts?

People who are so concerned with assholes……ARE!

So, gay men who have no interest in, or don’t want to engage in, “butt-seks” should be out of the line of fire for this tirade, following Fischer’s “logic”. There are plenty of gay men who have never had anal intercourse.

Heteros don’t focus on gay peoples’ anuses. ONLY gay men focus on mens’ anuses.
So, that tells me everything I need to know about Bryan.
Comment by Mark — August 30, 2010 @ 7:21 pm
Seriously, I think the right wing obsesses way too much about anal sex. I’m a gay male in my 40′s and I have never ONCE had anal sex with a man in my life. Damn, am I missing something?
Comment by Ray Sager — August 30, 2010 @ 10:09 pm
Bryan’s comments (and many winger’s comments) miss the fact that many gay men (like Ray Sager) choose not to engage in anal sex for whatever reason. So, are those gays alright, then? Can THEY get married?

@Ray
Yes.
