Social conservative Republican South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint has made outrageous remarks about how he thinks the election of a gay president would be "immoral". He also restated his opposition to marriage equality both federally and locally.“It would be bothersome to me just personally because I consider it immoral. Marriage is a religious institution. The federal government has no business redefining what it is DeMint told Hunt, adding that even state governments should not have the right to permit same-sex marriages. Governments should not be in the business of promoting a behavior that’s proven to be destructive to our society” (The Advocate).This type of divisive and homophobic language is dangerous coming from a U.S. Senator. Demand he apologize for these outrageous remarks.
Senator DeMint can be contacted through his e-contact form, guestbook, and Twitter.
Dement or DeMint?
ReplyDeleteDement seems better suited.
ReplyDeleteYes - well I have slavery immoral... and he's from south carolina... and the bible was used there to keep and justify slavery (Exodus 21).
ReplyDeleteI also find selling your daughters into slavery like it says in the Bible, immoral.
I also find forcing a rape victim to marry her rapist immoral (Deuteronomy 22:29).
So by his logic, I don't think Christian Senators should be allowed to be president.
:)
I had a few words about DeMint myself.

too late.
ReplyDeleteJames Buchanan may have been a homosexual. He was living with the man who would later be his vice president and rumors went around that he was a "Nancy" (insult that referred to homosexuals at the time).
They may have been just rumors though.
Still, it'd be pretty cool if he was.
If marriage is a religious institution then I believe the almighty Pastafarian faith says that it's not immorral but in fact A-Ok! Aren't we at risk of overpopulating the planet in about fourty or sixty years? Have to consult the demographics on that...
