If you have not had your head buried in the sand you have likely noticed that Chris Buttars has been going all out to win the “ignorant homophobe of the decade” award. He is a veritable quote mine:

In interviews, Buttars says that gays and lesbians are the biggest threat to America and… are inherently amoral

They are likely all atheists too. And liberals. And tree hugging commie socialists. And Satan worshipers.

“They’re mean. They want to talk about being nice. They’re the meanest buggers I have ever seen.”
And just seconds later, Buttars draws a comparison between some gays and radical Muslims.
“It’s just like the Muslims. Muslims are good people and their religion is anti-war. But it’s been taken over by the radical side.”

I guess gays are good people and anti-war but the radical gays took over?

(This really begs the question of if part of the definition of “good” is “anti-war” and if so does that mean the radicals have taken over America as we are in two of them? Asking for too much logic? Sorry…)

“Homosexuality will always be a sexual perversion. And you say that around here now and everybody goes nuts. But I don’t care.”

Ok maybe I jumped to a conclusion on the “good people” thing.

“What is the morals of a gay person? You can’t answer that because anything goes.”

Does he have anything to back this up or is he just pulling this stuff out of his ass?

The senator, who previously talked about running a bill to overturn Salt Lake City’s newly minted ordinances, said his stance changed after the LDS Church announced its support last week of the capital’s plan to protect gay and transgender people from discrimination in housing and employment.
In the 2009 Legislature, Buttars was among the most vociferous foes of the Common Ground Initiative, a failed collection of gay-rights bills, which included employment and housing safeguards for all gay and transgender Utahns.

Anyone question who is calling the shots here?
