American Family Association's Bryan Fischer Calls for All 50 States to Criminalize Homosexuality

These folks would love to see Lawrence v. Texas overruled and the reinstitution of Bowers v. Hardwick, which criminalized sexual acts between homosexuals.

The US Supreme Court specifically noted in Lawrence that “Bowers was not correct when it was decided, and it is not correct today.”

I think he’s talking to an echo chamber more and more, given that a larger percentage of Americans are accepting of a gay lifestyle than ever before, more are open to gay marriage than ever before, and people recognize the fundamental rights and protections extend to gays and lesbians.

Moreover, Fischer doesn’t seem to have a problem extending his version of government into the bedroom. That doesn’t fly for me at all - it’s certainly not small government, but it is small minded.
