Gays Are Worse Than Barnyard Animals

October 21, 2004

Secretary of State for Ohio, Kenneth Blackwell, fairly represents today's Republican Party. Ronald Reagan must be very proud of where Republicans want to take our country with the permission of voters.

Ohio's Secretary of State is coming out strong in support of Issue One, the measure that would ban same-sex marriage. Kenneth Blackwell spoke to an energized crowd at the Cathedral of Praise Tuesday night.

Blackwell said it's time for people of God to take a stand. He even drew a comparison between same-sex couples and farm animals. "I don't know how many of you have a farming background but I can tell you right now that notion even defies barnyard logic ... the barnyard knows better," said Blackwell referring to the idea of same-sex marriage.
