Behold, the human cesspool of righteousness…

Tennessee Lawmaker Compares Homosexuality To ‘Pedophilia, Prostitution, Murder’

The so-called “license to bully” bill…would allow students to share any “religious, philosophical, or political views” that are “unpopular,” regardless of their consequences to the learning environment, and limits educators’ ability to curb such harassment.

Equality advocates lodged an email protest campaign against the measure, but were particularly surprised by the reaction of state Rep. John Ragan (R). In a long letter to one opponent of the bill, Ragan replied that gay “feelings” can be controlled by “mentally healthy adult human beings,” and concluded by stating, “Should society avoid disapproving of pedophilia, prostitution, murder, etc., because practitioners of those behaviors may commit suicide at higher rates?”

(Emphasis mine)  What you have to understand about the human gutter is it has no bottom.  Here is a man who wants to enable the very bullying that causes gay kids to kill themselves, saying the fact that gays are more likely to commit suicide is proof that there’s something wrong with them.  Nice way to prove a point huh?

No bigot, there’s something wrong with you.  Something profoundly, terribly wrong with you.  Mentally healthy adult human beings?  I’m laughing in your face.  What do you call an adult who can abuse kids, can create a climate where kids can be easily abused, and does not see anything wrong with what they’re doing?

  3. So schools no longer are there to just teach they are to become the fundie pulpit whenever a student decides to SHARE his love of Christ.I suppose he can then interrupt any class, etc when moved to do so. He says “share” those views. I always thought sharing had a “permission” attached to it. Does he also realize that this will allow gay students to “share” there views whenever they so choose? That’s that equality thing. One can only hope that the rest of the legislature is more mature than this sorry excuse of an American.
