It Gets Worse

I didn't have the full quote when I noted Sandy Rios' disgusting comments about "real love" yesterday, but it's even worse than I had thought. Here's what came before (via The New Civil Rights Movement, which has audio):

I stand by what we say…As unfortunate and uncomfortable, heartbreaking, irrational that seems to some of you that are so steeped in the homosexual lifestyle, you’re steeped in popular culture, it’s still the truth.

Needless to say, Sandy Rios has the sort of relationship to truth that Ariel Castro had with his victims.

Rios this week also claimed that same-sex relationship almost never last, but if gays would just marry members of the opposite sex, all that would change.

I seem to remember that the states with the highest divorce rates are those with the most regular church-goers -- the Bible Belt. (And let's not mention unwed mothers.) Know which state has the lowest divorce rate? Massachusetts, the first state to legalize same-sex marriage. And you know what happened after SSM became the law in Massachusetts? The divorce rate went down.

And this is just total bullshit:

"If what we’re saying is not true, it should have no power over you, it shouldn’t bother you,” Rios claimed this week on her show. “Because I think in time, what’s true and what’s right, what works, what comports with reality will be lasting. So, let’s just see if your view of this is lasting. Let’s just see if homosexual marriage is all that you think it is, if it’s a pure and wonderful expression of love for two people.

See Rios' relationship with truth, above. And there's the principle underlying laws against libel and slander: words don't have to be true to cause injury. Of course, libel and slander require malicious intent . . . well, this woman works for Fox News and the AFA. 'Nuff said?
