Christian Pastor Thabiti Anyabwile has figured out how to turn the tide of support for same-sex marriage! Forget talking about the Bible — because, let’s face it, no one really cares what the Bible says (or doesn’t say) about homosexuality. Just starting talking about homosexual acts. Graphically.
Everyone’s going to gag when they hear it and that’ll force them to stop supporting gay rights!
No, really, that’s his brilliant idea. He writes about it at The Gospel Coalition in a post titled “The Importance of Your Gag Reflex When Discussing Homosexuality and ‘Gay Marriage'”:
I think it would be a good thing if more people were gagging on the reality of the sexual behavior that is now becoming public law, protected, and even promoted in public schools.
So what are we talking about? (Warning: Obscene descriptions follow. If sensitive in conscience, skip the block quotes below and go to the conclusion)We are talking about one man inserting the male organ used to create life into the part of another man used to excrete waste. We are talking about one man taking the penus of another man into his mouth, or engaging in penus-to-penus grinding.
We are talking about a woman using her mouth to stimilute the nipples, vulva, clitoris or vagina of another woman, or using her hand or other “toys” to simulate sexual intercourse.
We are talking about anilingus and other things I still cannot name or describe.That sense of moral outrage you’re now likely feeling — either at the descriptions above or at me for writing them — that gut-wrenching, jaw-clenching, hand-over-your-mouth, “I feel dirty” moral outrage is the gag reflex. It’s what you quietly felt when you read “two men deep kissing” in the second paragraph. Your moral sensibilities have been provoked — and rightly so. That reflex triggered by an accurate description of homosexual behavior will be the beginning of the recovery of moral sense and sensibility when it comes to the so-called “gay marriage” debate.
Huh.
I’m not gagging.
Must be something wrong with me.
Or maybe my first reaction when I hear a depiction of sex isn’t an automatic “EWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!” Even if it’s not something I have any desire to do, I’m not flipping out at the mere mention of it.
Or maybe I just don’t care what two consenting adults do in the privacy of their bedroom.
(Also, how does someone who thinks about penises, analingus,and stimulation this much manage to spell all those words wrong?)
This whole article is just a snapshot of why these Christians are losing the battle against gay rights. When we hear about gay couples, we think about relationships and love. When they hear about gay couples, they immediately jump to sodomy and cooties.
Love’s going to win out every time, even if Christians like Anyabwile aren’t mature enough to handle it.
