US Radio Host Bryan Fisher has asked for the Republican Party to change it’s policy and begin treating homosexuality the same way it would drug addiction.

British Lord Says Gay Marriage Shouldn’t Be Allowed Because Gay People’s Sex Organs Can’t Be Joined

There’s growing concern that private schools in the United Kingdom have slowly been re-introducing policies similar to the Thatcher governments controversial Clause 28 legislation. In the 1990’s it was illegal in Britain to promote homosexuality on government premises which included schools and community buildings.

The founder and governor of one set of schools is Lord Edmiston, who is a millionaire and a member of Britain’s upper house.

During the recent debates over same sex marriage in the UK, Lord Ediston argued that marriage equality should not be passed because gay people didn’t ‘join together’ like straight people.

“It is a physical impossibility in a same-sex relationship for the reproductive organs to be joined together, and therefore whatever we seek to call it, it cannot be a marriage in the traditional sense. In fact, it changes the nature and meaning of marriage,” said Lord Edmiston.
He then went on to share his concern that if gay people were allowed to be married, society would have to create new words for marriage, man and wife.
