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 arent 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.

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.
