You can count the American Family Association[1] 's Bryan Fischer among the conservative pundits angered by the Senate's approval of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act[2] , or ENDA, this week.


Fischer, whose anti-gay rants have become a near-weekly staple[3] of his "Focal Point" radio show, pointed to the U.S. Food and Drug Association's plans to ban heart-clogging trans fats[4] from supermarket shelves, Right Wing Watch first reported[5] .


"They are convinced it is a hazard to human health, even though it makes your frosting taste better, your donuts taste better; it makes your crackers taste better," Fischer declared. "If we were gonna take that same reasoning, we would be ban homosexuality ... it is a hazard to human health."


Anyone familiar with Fischer's established views on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community wouldn't be surprised by this latest declaration. Earlier this fall, Fischer compared LGBT rights activists to modern-day "Nazi stormtroopers[6] " who want to "eliminate" opponents.


He's also praised Russia's "gay propaganda[7] " law in recent weeks, arguing that the controversial legislation "expresses...values that we have been advocating for years and years and years."

  • Bryan Fischer: Gay Adoption Is 'A Form Of Child Abuse'


    The American Family Association evangelist sounded off on a controversial study about gay parenting, which claimed to find disadvantages for children raised by same-sex parents. Fischer spoke about the study on his "Focal Point" talk show, labeling adoption by same-sex couples as "a form of child abuse."

    Of course, Fischer didn't stop there, making a point to condemn gay sex, too. "The sex that's involved in homosexual behavior -- it's unnatural, it is immoral and it is unhealthy," he proclaimed.




  • Bryan Fischer Compares Gays To Cannibals


    "It is altogether right for a rational culture to discriminate against homosexual behavior," Fischer said. "I am saying, yes, that's exactly what DOMA does and it should...because [homosexuality] is not a benign alternative to heterosexuality...we ought to discriminate."

    Right Wing Watch also noted that Fischer's declarations echoed those made in a blog piece he wrote last week, in which he compared LGBT people to the disturbing spate of cannibalism cases currently making headlines.

    "Build a great, big, large fence -- 150 or 100 mile long -- put all the lesbians in there," Worley suggests in the clip, reportedly filmed on May 13. "Do the same thing for the queers and the homosexuals and have that fence electrified so they can't get out...and you know what, in a few years, they'll die out...do you know why? They can't reproduce!"

    "For 300 years, we had laws that would prosecute that lifestyle," he is quoted as saying. "We've gone down the wrong path. We've become so dumb that we have accepted a lie for the truth, and we've...discarded the truth on the shoals of shipwreck!"

    As heard in this recording, Rabon asked his congregation, "What is stopping them from refining marriage from a person and a beast? We're not far from that."
