Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (Republican) insists that he did not call homosexuals: "fruits." In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine Brownback criticized the legalizing of homosexual marriage in countries such as Sweden. During the course of the interview Senator Brownback quoted this verse from the Bible: "You'll know them by their fruits" (Matthew 7:19). Obviously, to anyone with a brain that is, Brownback's comments were supposed to point out what effects the legalization of gay marriage has had on Sweden's culture. Sweden has one of the worst divorce rates in the world, not just heterosexual divorces either. Sweden has a high poverty and crime rate.
But unfortunately for Brownback the reporter at Rolling Stone and the people of the "Human's Rights Campaign" (who stand up for everything that is not a right, like abortion and gay marriage) believed that he was calling gays "fruits."
According to "Human's Rights Campaign" spokesman Brad Luna (or maybe he is really a she) "It's nice to know that Senator Brownback doesn't resort to name-calling from the 1970s, but unfortunately his anti-gay agenda continues to speak for itself." Since when has disagreeing with a warped worldview become a bad thing? I agree that Brownback's record speaks for itself. It's saying: "I represent the moral and spiritual tradition of America...if you don't like it...move to Sweden!" Brownback, a potential presidential nominee for '08 will have my vote if he makes it.
