As we mentioned yesterday, James Dobson had an all-star team of Religious Right leaders on his radio program for a two-day discussion on the importance of protecting traditional marriage, featuring Bishop Harry Jackson, Dr. Jim Garlow, Dr. Ken Hutcherson, Gary Bauer & Tony Perkins.

On today’s broadcast, Garlow recounted a revelation he had while sitting in Jackson’s church in Maryland regarding the role African Americans have played in saving this nation from the “bondage and enslavement” of gay marriage:

RWW has the audio, here is a transcript:

Isn’t it interesting that the African Americans that were brought here against their will, coercively, in bondage, in chains, in a horrific experience called slavery. They were forced here and they end up being in state by state, many cases, what has saved us from the bondage and enslavement that would come upon us if gay marriage actually passed in a state. California being a prime example where the African Americans saved us from the bondage we would have faced.

I wonder why Garlow is so fixated on bondage when he’s talking about gay marriage, and the idea that same-sex marriage somehow will “enslave” straight Amurkins.
