On his radio show Friday, Bryan Fischer of the ultra-conservative American Family Association, made the following statement regarding Indiana's RFRA law (Religious Freedom Restoration Act), the public's reaction, and at the time, Governor Mike Pence's thoughts of revising the controversial bill:
"I'm afraid Governor Pence is dangerously close to allowing the homosexual lobby to get the state of Indiana, to compel people to provide labor against their will. What do we call it when people are compelled to provide labor against their will? Involuntary labor, what do we call that, ladies and gentlemen? That is involuntary servitude, that is slavery, that is something that is forbidden by the Thirteenth Amendment."
He's also made his views about the matter known on his Twitter account, as he's posted the following tweets:
- "The pressure Big Gay has put on Indiana is proof they are not about 'marriage equality' but 'homosexual supremacy.'"
- "Indiana will soon find it is impossible to satisfy the homosexual lobby. They will immediately be back for more. And more."
- "Indiana to Christian wedding vendors: in any conflict between you and Big Gay, we're coming down on the side of Big Gay."
"Big Gay"? Really? Based on that rhetoric, Bryan Fischer just proves himself to be a "Big Douche."
Speaking of the big douche, Bryan Fischer, like a lot of other extreme right-wing individuals, seems to have trouble with the concept of equality. Allow me to try and help him out with that.
When heterosexuals and homosexuals are both allowed to marry the person of their choosing, this would constitute as equality. However, when homosexual couples can get turned away from businesses due to their orientation, whereas heterosexuals aren't, this is inequality. When both groups of people aren't turned away from such businesses, this would not be an example of homosexual supremacy, but again, of equality.
It's really not that difficult of a concept to grasp, but strangely enough, appears to be that way for a growing number of people.
Also, does Mr. Fischer REALLY want to go there with the slavery comparison? Does he really want to contend that a group of people which is fighting to attain equal rights are masters in a way to their slaves that is the rest of the country? Does that mean, according to him, it was an issue of slavery where African-American slaves fought for equal rights so they didn't get turned away by businesses due to the color of their skin? Give me a fricking break...
Yeah, only in Bryan Fischer's world do the real slaves control their masters as slaves. In the real world, Bryan Fischer is just a "Big Douche."
