Greg Quinlan the president of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (who is also a male nurse HA!) proved what an extremely delusional, damaged, and self loathing human being he was yet again yesterday as he testified at yesterday’s marriage equality hearing in New Jersey.
“I want to talk first of all about something I heard from the very beginning by people of this Legislature that we are bigots as people of faith, because we do not hold that homosexual marriage should be codified. That somehow we are bigots and we are ideologues because we are people of faith. I want to address that hate. Everyone in this room who is a person of faith deserves an apology from one of the sponsors of this bill for calling us bigots.”
I think “idiot” should be added to “bigot” because since when did civil rights have to be derived from immutable qualities? freedom of religion is a civil right but one’s religion is far from being immutable or innate.
What incredibly fucked up people Quinlan and his ilk are.
