Homo / Religion Today in Anti-Gay Tweets

Posted by David Schmader on Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 10:59 AM

Peter Sprigg of the designated hated group the Family Research Council is running around telling anyone who'll listen how the Boys Scouts' acceptance of gay scouts/scoutmasters will lead to all sorts of awful things (fiery rain, bowel obstructions, God's suicide). Good as You is doing a great job covering Sprigg's would-be media blitz (featuring heartening push-back from CNN's Carol Costello).

But the subject of this post is a statement Peter Sprigg posted to Twitter a few hours before his CNN appearance:

I like to imagine these Tweeted sentences are something Peter Sprigg repeats to himself for five minutes every morning while brusquely slapping his cheeks and soaking his genitals in ice water.

Best SLOG closing line of the year. Bonus points are available for a fuller description of exactly where that took place.

No one is born "Sprigg". No one has to identify as "Sprigg". Change is possible. You could change your name to Toiletbowl Fuckhead McStupid instead.

This is typical closet case logic.

I don't have to have straight sex or identify as straight. Change is possible.

I like to imagine that these tweeted sentences are something Peter Sprigg repeats to himself while he is being slammed by a piece of rough trade he picked up at a bar. It just makes me happier...

Who gives a shit what Sprigg thinks or says. He'll never change his mind. Never. He's gonna spew his hate no matter whether people ignore him or oppose him.

The people to focus on are the lawmakers and judges who can actually rule on these things and who (hopefully) understand logic.

See, I go with the "innate sexuality" argument, but mostly for selfish reasons.

I don't have have oral sex with a guy to completion while maintaining a rock hard erection in order to prove my point.

However, the people arguing that you choose to be gay do(as that means you can, in theory, choose to be gay as a straight person).

IMPOSSIBLE!

I love it when people who don't know jack shit about genetics or brain chemistry tell us how people are made. I suppose if you think your God made all of us out of clay, you don't think DNA matters much. Of course, none of them can explain why we aren't silicon based either, but what can you do?

You may be spending too much time imagining about Peter's genitals.
