Great News From Tupelo Based Theocrats

If gay marriage is upheld in California, “the culture war is over and we've lost.” Says Don Wildmon, founder and Head Bigot of the Tupelo, MS based American Family Association. The entire quote:
"If we lose California, if they defeat the marriage amendment, I'm afraid that the culture war is over and Christians have lost," says Wildmon, a 30-year veteran of the culture war. "I've never said that publicly until now -- but that's just the reality of the fact.

"If the homosexuals are able to defeat the marriage amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman, then the culture war is over and we've lost -- and gradually, secularism will replace Christianity as the foundation of our society," he adds.

The vote in California, Wildmon explains, will affect the entire nation. "California is a big dam, holding back the flood -- and if you take down the dam in California, it's going to flood 49 other states," he illustrates. "It will destroy marriage as it has been known for thousands of years, and with that the cultural decline that normally would follow."
It’s not often that I’ll agree with Christofascists like Wildmon but I actually think he’s right on this one. Not that this will shut them up or anything, but it will mean they’ve lost the fight to drag us all kicking and screaming back to the theocratic dark ages in relation to the issue of homosexuality. It is over and they did lose. In our lifetime people will look back and wonder at how we as a society could be so cruel and close-minded the same way we look back at the civil rights fights a generation ago.
