I love it how he ignores the religious groups that were most definitely against interracial marriage. In fact, this was one of the arguments that the state of Virginia brought on Loving v Virginia.
A (straight) friend took me to a drag show at a gay pub in London a few years ago. It was great fun, and the public were a mix of gay and straight people. The atmosphere was so friendly, unlike that of some “normal” pubs I’ve been to.

You know why, people have explained it too you way to often and each and everytime you dismiss it because you dont care that their being abused by people like you.

Funny how someone that seems intent on being edgy by looking a bit different with lots of tattoos, is so intent on attacking other people wanting to do the same but with unconventional clothes. His self awareness is in amazingly short supply.
By that logic, a child getting all exited over potentually taking part in a play is grooming. There is nothing intrinsically sexual about a drag act. My friend from high schools dad would act as the dame in the village pantomime and there was nothing sexual about it. While there is often an element of 'sexy' to drag acts, its usually played for laughs as an over the top character.
In Shakespeare’s time women weren’t allowed to perform on the stage, so all the female roles were played by men. It was exactly for the misogyny of religion that this was the case.
It's funny that he keeps saying "interracial marriage has nothing to do with gay marriage". He obviously doesn't know history. People used the exact same arguments, including religious arguments, to try and stop it from becoming legal. In addition , when Roe v Wade was overturned Clarence Thomas wrote we need to also look at the decisions that made interracial and gay marriage legal. He is in an interracial marriage and said this so yes they are linked.
Anyone who thinks that "one man-one woman" is biblical (i.e. "the way it's always been") has either NEVER read the old testament or is ignoring it. You would think a "pastor" would know that... 🤔
Yeah like the only time it was ever one man one woman was basically supposably the Noah and supposedly Adam and Eve that's it otherwise it's one man and however many wives he can afford to take care of
Christian marriage has always meant 1 man & 1 woman from the beginning. And it remained that way right up until Adam's sons (and later Noah's), realised that the entire human race needed to be created, and their mum was the only woman alive...

When I was a teenager me and one of my brothers got a dressed up in drag for Halloween. Our mom did our makeup and let us borrow some of her clothes. We made out like bandits that year with candy and had a great time. A guy in women's cloths has no gay requirement. I know that for people hiding in their little shelters from the storm of reality have a hard time with that but it's true. Maybe it's because they secretly think "that man looks kinda good in that dress." Now they're worried about being cast into a fiery pit because they can't get the image out of their mind. That's a terrible weight to have hanging over your head for any length of time and some deal with it for huge portions of their lives. I'm not sure who said it first but there is no hate like christian love will always ring true to my ear.
Oddly enough, my husband and I refer to our 30 something friend group as "the kids" because they've all known each other since high school and we passed the 40 mark. So, while yes the verbiage was unfortunate considering the specific misinformation against anyone noncishetnormative, I not only completely believe it was referring to a group of friends - I have literally messaged the same exact thing regarding mine.
My mom would be saying almost all this same type of stuff about his tattoos. She would be "confused" as to why he felt the need to cover his entire body like that. She would say it was weird and kind of gross and creepy and a cry for attention and inappropriate. And especially for someone in church, much less a pastor, etc., etc. Just saying.
Hey I will say this some drag queens are fine as hell when they're in makeup some of them go way too far some of them just wow. This does not mean I'm attracted to men that just means that these men are very good at making themselves not look like men. I'm using the assumption that there are no trans drag queens there are but let's just say there's not and that is all male crossdressers who identify as men. This isn't exactly the case as I've already said.
My older brother dressed as a woman for Halloween when he was 10 in 1973, wtf? Children enjoy costumes and many enjoy performing, that's not grooming, allowing adult men to marry girls who aren't old enough to drive is grooming, it's also child abuse.
@@rickn8or I take the placement is when others complain about sex it’s only a space if time when they are doing what they are complaining about. So the clock is ticking.
It's not okay for children to have fun and perform.... Except for beauty pageants, which were totally acceptable in churches when I was growing up. Or in passion plays where the children are violently abusing and murdering each other. Yep. Reenactment of violent execution and traditional straight objectification of preteen girls is so much better for society than kids dancing with drag queens... because it's fun. At least he has his priorities straight. /s
The nuclear family is falling apart. A family is supposed to be about a man and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and an enslaved lover on the side and all the children. It's the way marriage has always been in the bible.
""I don't know why you would call your group of adult friends 'kids'." I dunno.... why is it common to refer to a group of aduly men or women "boys" or "girls" Like, going out drinking with the boys, of having a Girls' night in. It's really not that deep.
"I'm fairly liberal" he claims in his video and comments while spouting conservative talking points. He needs to STFU and stay out of people's business.
If I understand correctly when it comes to drag queens specifically the male ones usually when they're in character this means in Drag they go by female pronouns during this time because it's part of the character to my understanding
"No one has a problem with interracial marriage...." Is he too young to remember just how fraught the fight for interracial marriage truly was? Change the laws and people's perspectives change. Wish this guy would read some history books - not a fictional book that he calls history.
Persecution complex... He's got to keep claiming the institution of marriage is crumbling. Now the old reason isn't considered valid anymore, they need a new one. And I bet when gay marriage isn't considered a valid reason anymore, they'll latch onto another one, or try to resurrect an older one...
I think that he misspoke himself a little. Biblical marriage appears to be between a man and however many women he could afford to support - including household slaves.
I knew a man who passed away a year ago, and he was STILL mad about integration and interracial marriage. He was in high school during integration and STILL mad. Welcome to Texas
For someone to carry around such hatred for other people that just want to marry the person they love is bizarre. Did he think that the wrong side won during the American Civil War, and World War 2?
@@sandeman1776 even si, the writers had to make it a situation of "forced intimacy " as entertainment for their alien hosts in order to boldly go where no other show had gone before.
The nuclear family is neither traditional nor biblical. Until the industrial revolution it was common to have three, or even four generations in a household. Widowed women typically resided with the families of their adult children, or the adult children simply continued to live in the family home as they began their own family.

he keeps repeating that he doesn't understand but has he ever had a real conversation with a drag queen? why does he keep talking about a subject he admits has no knowledge about? love it when he says "no offense" but believes anyone outside his bubble is gonna burn in hell. Basically saying "no offense but you're going to hell because...reasons" not only does he has no idea what he is talking but has no idea how to read the very book he keeps promoting.
They NEVER talk to people with an opposing view, because they prefer staying in their own uninformed bubble. As a religious person you can’t take the risk of discovering you’ve been lied to all your life, can you.
A German satire artist once said "the Pope makes rules for a game he is blocked out". And this guy obviously wants to make rules for people he does not know, does not understand and does obviously not even try to know and understand them. Good job! I wander what he would say if I said to him to get away from me as soon as I know he is a pastor because I only heard bad things about pastors. And that I do not want to talk to him, because I don't want to ruin my prejudices of pastors being indoctrinators and child molestors? I wonder what his reaction will be... ah, not really.
Anyone that is against minding your own damn business is usually the ones that are against everything that isn’t how they think it should be. Which is usually very closed minded people.
_"Oh no, that makes me uncofortable!"_ my poor little sheltered tattoo boy, this is exactly why lobbying for equality and bringing attention to such things is oh so important in todays society; so that the next generation of people may grow up regarding everyone as just a normal human beings like themselves regardless of the color of their skin, their gender, their beliefs, their orientation, or the clothes they like to wear, etc. Regardless of what you may think appropriate or what does or doesn't make you uncomfortable, everyone has the same basic human right as you to be themselves and live their lives how they see fit (or at least everyone very much should have those rights). Great vid as always SkepTick 👍
He sure does talk about how he FEELS about these issues. His schtick seems to be fact free. What ever happened to "Facts don't care about your feelings."?
„I don‘t know why you would call your group of adult friends ‚kids‘“ he said unironically, completely ignoring that his religion calls every single human on this earth the ‚children‘ of God. Ah, the projection is strong in this one.

@robertrissearbeobie5612 This is how angry we all should be! The way they screw us is insane only thing I would add is Dems are just as guilty, well said brother.
We need to start holding their feet to the fire when they say something is "not appropriate". They need to explain how. Propriety is a context-fluid value judgment with all the subjectivity that implies; no more objective than morality or evil.
So why is it okay for him to have tattoos? Let me guess, because it's the part of the bible he _wants_ to ignore and he can't use it to deny people their human dignity.
I live in Los Angeles. Everything seems to be holding together pretty well, here. In fact, they recently started paving part of Venice Blvd. Nothing falling apart here!
This dude misses the point like Drax misses jokes. "The vast majority of people agrees with inter-racial marriage (which has been illegal a few decades ago), but me disagreeing with same-sex marriage is totally valid tho! Nothing comparable between those two, no way!"
his example of the young kid that wanted to perform......where was the child manipulated for the goals of the parent or performer? sounded like a parent looking into their child's interests if that kid expressed a want to drag and their parents yelled at them that they are a boy and cant wear glitter, that'll be grooming
A child who wanted to run off with a circus, were they groomed? I watched a play with my children and one of them said he wanted to be an actor: were the performers grooming my child to become a thespian?
So he thinks performance costumes, cross dressing, transsexuality, and homosexuality are all the same thing, and that means they want to "destroy marriage" and "groom children". By that reasoning, their worst enemies were Milton Burle and Monty Python.
I like when Christians say the institution of marriage is falling apart, as if the day gays got marriage rights straight couples got theirs taken away. Edit: I commented this right before you made the same point at 8:40 haha
Say there not dangerous?? 🤔 I think I remember plenty of religious values being dangerous. I've said stuff about my friends who were acting immature, sarcasm, "let me go hangout with the kids". They were 20 somethings. But I wasn't hanging out with kids. Wth!!
Right around 18 minutes... It is interesting to note that according to most guidance from the Church, altar servers can start as young as 7 years old. EDIT: And then just after 19 minutes as SkepTick points out... wow, the dissonance and projection.
It's morally _good_ for the Christian denomination that matches his, to 'teach' kids from birth. But for all other denominations of Christianity, other religions, cultures, and races, it's sinful brainwashing and wrong.

it registers in their brain that - oh this is normal, this is ok. My parents brought me here. Is that what a kid must think when they are taken to a Sunday school class or some other activity and there' might be a priest who likes to have a go at kiddie fiddling. Does that kid have to accept that this must be right because mum drops me off each week? This must happen to all kids. NO! I hardly think a drag queen is going to have as much effect on a kid by telling them to keep it their secret n not tell anyone what is happening otherwise god will hurt someone they love, like the way clergy tell their groomed kids
Just... Really? Guy don't see how people needing to have their marriage protected in any state, and yes, there are states *cough* Arkansas and Georgia *cough cough* where they have the right to never acknowledge your interracial marriage as a marriage in their state and they actively do/did that exact thing all the time! So yes, the marriage protection act was absolutely necessary for them as well! No matter how you think, they seriously are equally valid and need the protection in the law
I don't like drag acts. I simply don't find them entertaining and do you know what I do about that? I don't watch drag acts. And no doubt there are some things I do watch that some others won't find entertaining and do you know what they should do about it? That's right - don't watch. Why is this such a difficult concept for these theists to grasp?
I wonder if this preacher believes like most evangelicals do--in the Rapture.Because out of one side of their mouth they speak as if they are looking forward to leaving this planet any second now, via the rapture-and then from the other side of their mouth they talk as if they would turn this world into a theocratic government in a heartbeat if they could.Isn't that like trying to paint another coat of paint on a sinking ship?

Funny how the 'judge not lest ye be judged yourself' and 'only God can judge me' people are soooo keen to judge those who haven't swallowed the bibble bollox. I was stirred to anger by that loser by his obvious intent to condemn without even talking to drag acts. I was surrounded by theatrical people from a young age I had gay mentors, friends and colleagues. I grew up to be quite a blokey man no one ever tried to 'turn' me gay, it can't happen you are what you are. I suspect however that the projection was strong with that one.
I'm still waiting for an apologist to show me the verse in the bible where god dictates to its people that "a marriage is *only to be* between one man and one woman" (rather than them inferring it from the obviously figurative first-chapter of Genesis) -- and then explain why so many of the godly men in the bible had multiple wives...
The ideal example of god-approved marriage: I husband and many,many wives + sex-slaves or concubines.A raped woman being forced to marry her rapist for his entire life. A bride that is found not to be a virgin on her wedding night is to be stoned to death in front of her father's house. A priests daughter that is caught in sexual immorality is to be burned alive-to death.If a husband dies without having any children-his widow must marry his brother and have kids by him. "Oh,but that was the old testament." Right,right.Created by the father of Jesus.
This is what the new testament says about OT law: “For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 5:18-19 “It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17) “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17) “Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law”

Yoooo I know this guy. He used to slide in my DMs and debate with me on comments I left on his posts when his IG page was smaller. He's an ex-con and recovered addict who found Jesus on the inside. He has very strange opinions on homosexuality because of the sexual behavior he saw on the inside. Actually thinks being gay is a choice because he saw purportedly straight guys having gay sex in prison. Looks like he's gone further off the deep end. 👀
Today we have a self-described liberal Christian shaming Conservatives for being liberal Christians. This is what the wrong side of history looks like. Also… it might be just me, but during the whole “grooming” section, those times when SkepTick rhetorically asked “do you know where that happens?” my instinctive response was “in the butt?” Maybe I’m not treating the topic with the reverence it deserves…
One thing that really struck me was his comment about a drag queen showing their bare breasts. According to the right-wing, one can't change their gender. So in essence, in his mind, he's complaining that a man is going around shirtless.
I notice how he spends two minutes reading out how the drag queen was attacked online and not once does he disassociate himself from the abuse, nor does he criticise it. But Christian values…
"The vast majority of America has no problem with interratial marriage". I actually see a big problem here. Saying the vast majority has no problem, means there are still people that consider it a problem.
Does this guy think we're not onto him and his crowd's agenda? Does he think we'll fall for the lie that they won't go after interracial marriage? I mean, they said they wouldn't go after abortion, and they did. They said they wouldn't go after same sex marriage, and they're going after it now. Who does he think he's kidding?
7:07 I don't want any representatives who hold to subhuman mythology, especially middle Eastern mythology, and using their interpretations to violate our rights. 🤷♂️
I'm with you tick. This man Joe seems greatly afeared that his sexuality will be challenged by seeing a man in a dress. Ahem, as opposed to a priest in a frock. Why is it that these right wing Christian types spit bile and venom, but then say they are somehow not 'judging'? If Joe wants to wear a dress or not is none of my business. And so too it should be none of Joe's business what others want to wear! KJV: Matt:7:1: Judge not, that ye be not judged. This from their own f'd up holy book!
7:14 “They will bend and they will break, if they get enough cultural pressure” Ummm… 🤨 Does he not know how the government is supposed to work? That representatives are to speak for the people, and the people are speaking, so they are listening? If they decide *not* to listen, they get voted out so someone else can speak for the people. He clearly failed civics.
He whines about how interracial and gay marriages are being "unfairly" linked together, and insists that opposition to one has nothing to do with opposition to the other. Anyone who is the target of such opposition knows better. It's the very, exact same thing. It's hatred of people who are different from you. Marriage is not diminished in the least by being made available to more people. People like him are literally attacking marriage by trying to make it into an exclusive club, instead of what it should be, an option available to any couples (consenting adult Homo sapiens, there's no "slippery slope" here) who want to spend their lives together and have the same legal protections and civil rights as anyone else. No one who previously had had those protections and civil rights is losing any of them by the fact that they are now being extended to more people. But he himself is trying to deny those rights and protections from lgbt people, which is by definition an attack on marriage and on lgbt people.
6:02 No, no, no ... the reason why interracial marriage came up again was because the Supreme Court suggested that same sex marriage was wrongly decided and gave rights from the bench that weren't supposed to come from there. The very same method that was used to ... wait for it ... give rights for interracial marriage.
Being a native Californian, I wish he'd elaborate on what a mess it is here. I recently lived in Texas for 2 years and I would have stayed if it was less of a "mess" than California, but we couldn't wait to come back.
Using religion as a means to justify assertions about sexuality? The only ‘evidence’ available points to the fact that the biblical passages were written by fallible humans. There is no evidence that a god had anything to do with the writing of those biblical passages. By claiming that the bible is the word of god, it is the Christians who have the burden of proof. If they cannot prove that the bible is the word of god, then why should anyone be obliged to take them seriously?

He is in an interracial marriage and said this so yes they are linked.
He's obviously had a very selective education. Being aware of the historical truth would destroy his already shaky arguments.
just because he regrets his marriage doesn't mean he should try to ruin things for the rest of us. typical conservative.

Christian marriage has always meant 1 man & 1 woman from the beginning.

When I was a teenager me and one of my brothers got a dressed up in drag for Halloween. Our mom did our makeup and let us borrow some of her clothes. We made out like bandits that year with candy and had a great time.
A guy in women's cloths has no gay requirement. I know that for people hiding in their little shelters from the storm of reality have a hard time with that but it's true. Maybe it's because they secretly think "that man looks kinda good in that dress." Now they're worried about being cast into a fiery pit because they can't get the image out of their mind.
That's a terrible weight to have hanging over your head for any length of time and some deal with it for huge portions of their lives. I'm not sure who said it first but there is no hate like christian love will always ring true to my ear.
20 years ago everyone on the footy show in Australia did it a couple of times a year 🤣😅
Oddly enough, my husband and I refer to our 30 something friend group as "the kids" because they've all known each other since high school and we passed the 40 mark. So, while yes the verbiage was unfortunate considering the specific misinformation against anyone noncishetnormative, I not only completely believe it was referring to a group of friends - I have literally messaged the same exact thing regarding mine.
Heck, I call my daughters my kids & they’re in their thirties. This pastor is so very deluded!
My mom would be saying almost all this same type of stuff about his tattoos. She would be "confused" as to why he felt the need to cover his entire body like that. She would say it was weird and kind of gross and creepy and a cry for attention and inappropriate. And especially for someone in church, much less a pastor, etc., etc. Just saying.
And she is correct.
It's okay for him to have tattoos so that means the old laws were in fact abolished good to know. So me being queer isn't a problem
Hey I will say this some drag queens are fine as hell when they're in makeup some of them go way too far some of them just wow. This does not mean I'm attracted to men that just means that these men are very good at making themselves not look like men. I'm using the assumption that there are no trans drag queens there are but let's just say there's not and that is all male crossdressers who identify as men.

Or in passion plays where the children are violently abusing and murdering each other. Yep. Reenactment of violent execution and traditional straight objectification of preteen girls is so much better for society than kids dancing with drag queens... because it's fun.
At least he has his priorities straight. /s
The nuclear family is falling apart. A family is supposed to be about a man and a woman, and a woman, and a woman, and an enslaved lover on the side and all the children. It's the way marriage has always been in the bible.

If I understand correctly when it comes to drag queens specifically the male ones usually when they're in character this means in Drag they go by female pronouns during this time because it's part of the character to my understanding
"No one has a problem with interracial marriage...." Is he too young to remember just how fraught the fight for interracial marriage truly was? Change the laws and people's perspectives change. Wish this guy would read some history books - not a fictional book that he calls history.
That's literally where the parallel comes in. Just because HE'S uninformed doesn't mean we're lying. 🙄
Persecution complex... He's got to keep claiming the institution of marriage is crumbling. Now the old reason isn't considered valid anymore, they need a new one. And I bet when gay marriage isn't considered a valid reason anymore, they'll latch onto another one, or try to resurrect an older one...
I think that he misspoke himself a little. Biblical marriage appears to be between a man and however many women he could afford to support - including household slaves.

The nuclear family is neither traditional nor biblical. Until the industrial revolution it was common to have three, or even four generations in a household. Widowed women typically resided with the families of their adult children, or the adult children simply continued to live in the family home as they began their own family.

not only does he has no idea what he is talking but has no idea how to read the very book he keeps promoting.
"why does he keep talking about a subject he admits has no knowledge about?"
That's religion in a nutshell.
They NEVER talk to people with an opposing view, because they prefer staying in their own uninformed bubble. As a religious person you can’t take the risk of discovering you’ve been lied to all your life, can you.
A German satire artist once said "the Pope makes rules for a game he is blocked out".
And this guy obviously wants to make rules for people he does not know, does not understand and does obviously not even try to know and understand them.
Good job!
I wander what he would say if I said to him to get away from me as soon as I know he is a pastor because I only heard bad things about pastors. And that I do not want to talk to him, because I don't want to ruin my prejudices of pastors being indoctrinators and child molestors?
I wonder what his reaction will be... ah, not really.

_"Oh no, that makes me uncofortable!"_ my poor little sheltered tattoo boy, this is exactly why lobbying for equality and bringing attention to such things is oh so important in todays society; so that the next generation of people may grow up regarding everyone as just a normal human beings like themselves regardless of the color of their skin, their gender, their beliefs, their orientation, or the clothes they like to wear, etc. Regardless of what you may think appropriate or what does or doesn't make you uncomfortable, everyone has the same basic human right as you to be themselves and live their lives how they see fit (or at least everyone very much should have those rights).

his example of the young kid that wanted to perform......where was the child manipulated for the goals of the parent or performer? sounded like a parent looking into their child's interests if that kid expressed a want to drag and their parents yelled at them that they are a boy and cant wear glitter, that'll be grooming
Even when I was considering myself a Christian, I never saw the appeal of pushing my beliefs on others. People like this preacher piss me off.
The “kids” or “children” is gay slang for just people or a group of friends in lgbt community 😂 Jesus… the reach
A child who wanted to run off with a circus, were they groomed? I watched a play with my children and one of them said he wanted to be an actor: were the performers grooming my child to become a thespian?
Drag is a Performance Art. As Over the top as you want. Dame Edna Everage is a drag act.
I agree, I'm a bit of a Less Patterson myself 🤣
Allright possums!
They're only uncomfortable with drags because there's something going on in their pants.
So he thinks performance costumes, cross dressing, transsexuality, and homosexuality are all the same thing, and that means they want to "destroy marriage" and "groom children". By that reasoning, their worst enemies were Milton Burle and Monty Python.
I like when Christians say the institution of marriage is falling apart, as if the day gays got marriage rights straight couples got theirs taken away.

it registers in their brain that - oh this is normal, this is ok. My parents brought me here. Is that what a kid must think when they are taken to a Sunday school class or some other activity and there' might be a priest who likes to have a go at kiddie fiddling. Does that kid have to accept that this must be right because mum drops me off each week? This must happen to all kids. NO! I hardly think a drag queen is going to have as much effect on a kid by telling them to keep it their secret n not tell anyone what is happening otherwise god will hurt someone they love, like the way clergy tell their groomed kids
Just... Really? Guy don't see how people needing to have their marriage protected in any state, and yes, there are states *cough* Arkansas and Georgia *cough cough* where they have the right to never acknowledge your interracial marriage as a marriage in their state and they actively do/did that exact thing all the time! So yes, the marriage protection act was absolutely necessary for them as well! No matter how you think, they seriously are equally valid and need the protection in the law
Where I'm from, we call the act of bending to cultural pressure by elected officials _"representative_ democracy."
I don't like drag acts. I simply don't find them entertaining and do you know what I do about that? I don't watch drag acts. And no doubt there are some things I do watch that some others won't find entertaining and do you know what they should do about it? That's right - don't watch. Why is this such a difficult concept for these theists to grasp?
I wonder if this preacher believes like most evangelicals do--in the Rapture.Because out of one side of their mouth they speak as if they are looking forward to leaving this planet any second now, via the rapture-and then from the other side of their mouth they talk as if they would turn this world into a theocratic government in a heartbeat if they could.Isn't that like trying to paint another coat of paint on a sinking ship?
Faith is based upon that which can't be proven without faith there is no manipulation without manipulation there is no fear and without fear there is no power and that is all religion is a way to gain power over others

I'm still waiting for an apologist to show me the verse in the bible where god dictates to its people that "a marriage is *only to be* between one man and one woman" (rather than them inferring it from the obviously figurative first-chapter of Genesis) -- and then explain why so many of the godly men in the bible had multiple wives...
The ideal example of god-approved marriage: I husband and many,many wives + sex-slaves or concubines.A raped woman being forced to marry her rapist for his entire life. A bride that is found not to be a virgin on her wedding night is to be stoned to death in front of her father's house. A priests daughter that is caught in sexual immorality is to be burned alive-to death.If a husband dies without having any children-his widow must marry his brother and have kids by him. "Oh,but that was the old testament." Right,right.Created by the father of Jesus.
This is what the new testament says about OT law:
“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” - Matthew 5:18-19
“It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid.” (Luke 16:17)
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.” (Matthew 5:17)

According to the right-wing, one can't change their gender. So in essence, in his mind, he's complaining that a man is going around shirtless.

He clearly failed civics.
He whines about how interracial and gay marriages are being "unfairly" linked together, and insists that opposition to one has nothing to do with opposition to the other. Anyone who is the target of such opposition knows better. It's the very, exact same thing. It's hatred of people who are different from you. Marriage is not diminished in the least by being made available to more people. People like him are literally attacking marriage by trying to make it into an exclusive club, instead of what it should be, an option available to any couples (consenting adult Homo sapiens, there's no "slippery slope" here) who want to spend their lives together and have the same legal protections and civil rights as anyone else. No one who previously had had those protections and civil rights is losing any of them by the fact that they are now being extended to more people. But he himself is trying to deny those rights and protections from lgbt people, which is by definition an attack on marriage and on lgbt people.
6:02 No, no, no ... the reason why interracial marriage came up again was because the Supreme Court suggested that same sex marriage was wrongly decided and gave rights from the bench that weren't supposed to come from there. The very same method that was used to ... wait for it ... give rights for interracial marriage.

Using religion as a means to justify assertions about sexuality? The only ‘evidence’ available points to the fact that the biblical passages were written by fallible humans. There is no evidence that a god had anything to do with the writing of those biblical passages. By claiming that the bible is the word of god, it is the Christians who have the burden of proof. If they cannot prove that the bible is the word of god, then why should anyone be obliged to take them seriously?
