'Save California' Group Wants National Guard Deployed To Stop Gay Couples' Marriages

Anti-LGBT activist Randy Thomasson has a message for governors across America: deploy the National Guard to stop same-sex marriages.

Thomasson, who leads the right-wing group Save California, detailed his proposal last week in a memo [PDF] to “pro-family leaders concerned about marriage”: http://savecalifornia.com/images/stories/PDFs/LettertoProFamilyLeadersonGovernorsandMarriage_010715.pdf
Thomasson told WorldNetDaily yesterday that Republican governors aren’t doing enough to stop clerks from issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples following court decisions striking down marriage bans, and called for governors like Phil Bryant of Mississippi to use the National Guard to prevent same-sex marriages from taking place in their states.

“The casualties will be the children,” Thomasson said. “These Republican governors, by their own actions, are telling impressionable boys and girls ‘you can aspire to have a same-sex marriage for yourselves.’”

Peter LaBarbera of Americans For Truth About Homosexuality similarly told WND that “if someone stood up to the homosexual lobby and the courts, they would achieve hero status.”

Yeah, like that's ever going to happen because he clicks his heels together three times. Seriously, every time some freak insists that same sex marriage will create a temptation for kids to find a same-sex partner, I just have to look at the goober and shake my head.

Back in the day,we had a little Newspaper Published Weekly,called the Weekly Reader. At least the Reader was based on truths and it's readers were Elementary Students were as the Daily has fallacies masked as news and it's readership seems to be the low information segment of our Nation. Sadly the Daily tried to copy Weekly's page banner. Sick.

Got it at school, during the 60's and early 70's, then my younger sisters would get it and I'd read theirs!

What a dumbass. How about we deploy the National Guard to make sure he can't escape his padded room.

Break out the dogs and fire hoses.... Because treating our citizens that way is certainly something we should be proud of.

What an idiot. California doesn't need saving, except from Right Wingers like him, who want to come here and mess with people's lives. Damena Otoko hito, dai Kirai dane! (bad person, hate!) Kimochi warui! (feel bad)! O Komarasete imasu! (annoying)
