Oklahoma City councilman: Gay Pride like an assembly of “pedophiles” or “men who beat up their wives” [video]
”The reason I voted no on that is that I’m a born-again Christian and don’t believe in the homosexual lifestyle…. I don’t want my vote to be construed as support, because I really don’t support that, the same way that I wouldn’t support a group of, say, pedophiles who wanted to assemble. I would not vote yes on that either, (or) men who beat up their wives. Anything like that.’
Councilman Brian Walters telling The Journal Record that he would not vote to grant a permit to a gay pride parade and festival at the end of June in Oklahoma City, OK. His comments are being widely criticized. (Journal Record)
”I just can’t support that lifestyle based on my belief system…. It’s not a personal thing. I don’t hate them or anything like that. It just some thing of mine — a more conviction — I cannot support.
