Not Quite the Sermon on the Mount


I figured a way out, a way to get rid of all the lesbians and queers, but I couldn't get it past the Congress. Build a great big, large fence – 50 or a 100 miles long – and put all the lesbians in there. Fly over and drop some food. Do the same thing with the queers and the homosexuals, and have that fence electrified so they can't get out. Feed them. And you know in a few years, they'll die out. You know why? They can't reproduce.

- Pastor Charles L. Worley, Providence Road Baptist Church
The inevitable pushback resulted in another sermon:
Listen, all of the Sodomites, the lesbians, and all of the ... what's that word? Gays – I didn't wanna say 'queers' – that say we don't love you, I love you more than you love yourself. I'm praying for you to be saved.
Strange word, "love." In the original sermon, referring to President Obama's rather tepid endorsement of marriage equality, Worley said "I ain't gonna vote for a baby killer and a homosexual lover."

Comments:
My favourite part of this thing is that Worley apparently thinks that LGBT folk are all born to LGTB folk, so penning them up separated by biological gender would cause them to die out. At one time I would have been astounded anyone could be so thuddingly stupid. Sigh.
 
Funny, I had entirely different occupants in mind for that compound...

If they'll die out because they can't reproduce, why is the fence necessary?
