Steven Hotze of Conservative Republicans of Texas made the shocking comments at the ‘Stand 4 Truth; evangelical conference, which was held over the weekend in Houston.

In the speech, snipped by Right Wing Watch, he warns: “The homosexual movement has really infiltrated… think of them like termites.

“They get into the wood of the house and they eat away at the very moral fabric of the foundation of our country.

I mean, I know gay people come everywhere on the spectrum from "fabulous amazing human beings" to "wretched wastes of skin," but I kinda thought the distribution on the "wretched waste of skin" end didn't have *quite* such a long tail for outliers.

Still, it DOES explain a lot about him and VladdyP.

Prior to The Octobre Revolution, 1917

There were no gays because there was no Soviet Union.

How did they all get in the country?

This man is actually an M.D. He has been on a local morning show - "Good Day Houston" on KHOU - many, many times. They have a moniker - "medical Monday" and he has appeared several times. Obviously, he is "socially challenged".

On February 9, 1964, the British Invasion began with The Beatles playing live on The Ed Sullivan Show in front of an estimated 73 million Americans. Ed Sullivan introduced The Beatles, and was almost immediately drowned out by the screams of girls in the studio audience. The Beatles continued to play twice that evening on The Ed Sullivan Show and “Beatlemania” had officially arrived stateside. The exposure of The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 became a touchstone event for an entire generation and for music lovers

I misread the dates in a search for Beatles Ed Sullivan Show. The 1948 was the first for Sullivan. Haste makes waste.
