Religious Right "lawyer" uses phrases I saw used in "Eyes On The Prize."

Just substitute transgenders for blacks and communists for pedophiles.

Mat Staver: Transgender Nondiscrimination Laws Are 'Being Financed By Those Who Are Actively Promoting Pedophilia'

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Monday, 5/9/2016 11:00 am

On today's "Faith and Freedom" radio program, Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver asserted that North Carolina's anti-LGBT law and the Religious Right's boycott of Target are necessary because efforts to allow transgender people to use facilities that match their gender identity are being pushed by pedophilia advocates. "The fact is we know sexual assaults occur," he said, "they are going to occur with or without these laws, there's no question about that. People commit sexual assaults, they commit them in buildings, they commit them in restrooms; but what you have now done, knowing that sexual assaults occur, knowing that they occur in these places where women are trapped and they can't get out, now what we've done, through these laws, is we've opened the door for every rapist and pedophile." "Frankly," he continued, "when you look at some of the people behind the North Carolina law and some of these other laws, who are they? They have been identified, some of them that have been advocating this, as pedophiles. Some of this is being financed by those who are actively promoting pedophilia." Of course, Staver did not disclose which groups were identified as organizations that promote child abuse.

Long before this bathroom issue. I bought a Bride and Bride Wedding card there for my daughter and her wife. They have their Bridal Registry at Target which lists their two female names.

Perhaps he ran out of time or space? You need to identify a pedophile, Mr. Staver? Here's one for free: Dennis Hastert. I'll give you another one: Josh Duggar. How about a third? Okay: Mark Foley.

Frankly, sir, you should welcome this as an opportunity to shut up more.
