Bryan Fischer: Children Of Same-Sex Couples Must Be Saved Through ‘Underground Railroad’ Kidnapping

http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/08/08/655951/bryan-fischer-children-of-same-sex-couples-must-be-saved-through-underground-railroad-kidnapping/


The American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer has sunk to a new, disturbing low with his anti-gay statements. In two separate tweets last night, he called for an “Underground Railroad to deliver innocent children from same-sex households.” In one tweet he was referring to the sad story of Lisa Miller, who, after declaring herself ex-gay, kidnapped her daughter away to Central America to prevent her former partner from having any custody. (She is still being tracked by federal agents as a fugitive of the law.)

And if the person is an adult rather than a minor then it's still a "kidnapping." You can't just take a person away without their consent or their guardian's consent.

The First Amendment does not grant the right to people to say literally anything. There is a law against suborning perjury.

I find it disturbing that this man is supporting and suggesting kidnapping. Some of the people in his audience will take it as permission and an edict to go kidnap.

Yes justice wanted, we have a serious problem in our country. I hope you are in a country that is more sane.

Seriously, his remarks are one small step away from saying "these children would be better off if their same-sex parents were dead"


On the plus side, I suppose, this is further proof that they are running out of steam, and followers. I hope!

Clearly that is in the childs best interest.

Maybe to really ensure they are healthy and purged of gay thoughts you could kill their parents in front of them.

That would definitely get the message across and maybe we'll get a few batmen out of it.
