“ Look, I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion… you have to confront the reality that these secular extremists are determined to impose on you acceptance of a series of values that are antithetical, they’re the opposite, of what you’re taught in Sunday school.

Fox News contributor and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich during an interview on the O’Reilly Factor. (via notable) (via rodmitch)

I remember when he said this and thought he was right on point. I really hope Gingrich changes his mind about not running for the RNC chairmanship and goes for it. Bonus points for this quote coming via Media Matters. Gotta love it!

NOTE: I have changed my views since then. I now fully support gay marriage. I do, however, believe there are people in this country who try to impose their will and views rather than persuade others. I believe people who oppose gay marriage can be persuaded, and it is essential for the debate around this matter to remain civil and respectful. Part of that includes not demonizing those who oppose gay marriage.
