Bigoted Benham Brothers Go On Fox News To Say They Will 'Clean House' On 'Gay Agenda Of Silence'
David and Jason Benham, the fundamentalist Christian twins who had the plug pulled on their reality TV show by HGTV, took to Fox News Sunday morning to tell their side of the story, and it is just as bigoted as we expected. In an interview with Shannon Bream, the brothers spoke their peace, The Raw Story reports. David Benham admitted in the interview that he could understand how some of his and his brother's anti-gay statements, like the time they compared marriage equality to Nazi ideology, could be perceived as hateful.
Ya think? How else should anyone take such a statement, Mr. Benham? As with all bigots, David Benham had an answer to explain away his bigotry. He said:
“The statements that I made were actually in context of a prayer service to the church. And so, it’s been very pleasing to my brother and I, for us to be able to go on record and set it straight, and let those that have been hurt, let those that have felt some type of hatred for my brother and I in terms of what we’ve said in the past, and say, ‘We do not hate you all. As a matter of fact, we love you.’”
They have a funny way of showing love, don't they? But, then again, fundamentalists generally have a twisted view of everything, even as basic of a human emotion as love.
Of course, after expressing all of this "love," David Benham went on to express he and his brother's hatred of the "gay agenda."
"We see what it’s doing to our nation. We see how polarizing it has now become. We see the political landscape and we hate this, and we hate what it’s doing to our nation."
All civil rights movements are polarizing, you idiot. It is not the people wanting rights who are dividing the nation. It is the people who wish to enshrine bigotry into the law forever.
