This group thinks kindergartens will teach anal sex to kids
Religious group believes marriage equality will lead to anal sex lectures in school
As America acclimates to marriage equality, the sudden change has caused some right-wing religious groups to seemingly lose any grasp on rationality.
Enter “REAL MARRIAGE: One Man/One Woman For Life,” a fun new coalition formed in the wake of the Supreme Court’s marriage ruling. Their goal? To “fight back” and “stand up for what’s right,” according to Dr. Steven Hotze, president of the Conservative Republicans of Texas, during the group’s launch event.
“Homosexual marriage is really a mirage, it’s a counterfeit, it’s a lie,” he stated. “The issue is not about discrimination or equality, it’s about redefining marriage.”
Hotze claims that “redefining” marriage, something society has been doing for centuries, will lead to “churches, schools, families, businesses, and individuals” being forced to accept anal sex.
He believes that anal sex will “be taught to the children in the schools at an early age, starting in kindergarten. They will be encouraged by their teachers to participate in anal sex and homosexual activities.”
Ignoring that anal sex is practiced by both heterosexual and homosexual couples, Hotze continued, spouting familiar anti-gay lines, including that the “homosexual political movement” is seeking to “recruit children into their evil, wicked activities.”
According to the Texas Observer, the group plans for “mass civil disobedience” through marches and protests, as well as targeting politicians and businesses who refuse to oppose LGBT rights.
At the moment, however, their efforts amount to little more than a hastily slapped together website and a promise that conference dates and a solid plan of action will be announced in September.
