Anti-gay Oregon baker thinks he’s defeating Satan — but his bigotry is actually helping Satanists
A now infamous antigay Oregon baker thinks they are fighting Satan by discriminating against the LGBT community, but the Satanic Temple argues their bigotry is actually helping the Satanists recruit.
Aaron Klein, who co-owns Sweet Cakes by Melissa with his wife, went on Rick Wiles’ “Trunews” show last week and did a lot of comparing between Germany just before the rise of Hitler and the U.S. Supreme Court’s marriage equality ruling in June, Right Wing Watch reports. Those two historical events have a lot in common because Christians are the obvious victims in both cases, they argued.
Wiles made the hilariously bogus comment that “this is a gaystapo. This is just like the Nazi homosexuals in the 1930s. It was a militant, homosexual network that took over Germany. That’s what this is.”
Despite this radical historical revisionism, gay men were actually targeted by Nazis during that time period and were sent to internment camps.
“You’ve got to understand that right now there’s a hedge around the church,” Klein said. “The people who sit in the pews on Sunday are not protected… We have to use what we can right now to stem the tide, because if we don’t, you will have the rainbow flag flying above your church because they will be considered ‘hate.'”
