Bryan Fischer in his Values Voters Summit address on Saturday said that gays are a threat to America’s national security, are a public health threat, and that traditional marriage is necessary for the survival of the country. Fischer, the public face of the SPLC-​certified anti-​gay hate group, American Family Association, claimed America needs a president to support a federal ban on same-​sex marriage, and saying it was not inconsistent with a states’ rights perspective as 38 states would have to approve it. (There are 50 states in the U.S., apparently 76% is good enough to achieve a “states’ rights” advocate’s seal of approval?)

Fischer, whose daily American Family Radio show is heard in millions of homes through its network of 180 stations across 40 states, also said “I believe we need a president who on his first day in office as Commander in Chief will revoke permission for military chaplains to perform same-​sex marriages on military installations.” Evidently, religious freedom is a one-​way street, as there are denominations that support the right of clergy to perform same-​sex marriages.

Fischer also said Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell should return. As it stands now, any president could implement it, as the repeal did not create a law that demanded gay, lesbian, and bisexual service members be allowed to serve; it merely repealed the current ban. Fischer claimed that national security is dependent upon a ban on open service, ignoring the fact that currently there are an estimated 66,000 LGBT service members in the U.S armed forces on active duty all around the world, presumably, and ironically, protecting his way of life.

“We need a president who will treat homosexual behavior not as a political cause but as a threat to public health,” said Fischer. Citing the FDA ban on blood donation, Fischer added, “Homosexual behavior represents the same threat to human health that injection drug use does. I believe we need a president who understands that neither homosexual behavior nor injection drug use represent lifestyles that any responsible government ought to normalize, legitimize, legalize, protect, sanction, or subsidize.“

3. I challenge Mr. Fisher to elaborate on his thesis

Gays are a threat to America’s national security, are a public health threat.

Please provide specifics Mr. Fisher. I challenge you to back that up with concrete, verifiable and scientific facts.

Too bad bigotry isn't physically painful to the bigoted, they might think differently about inflicting pain on others if it was.
