Holy shit. And I mean that literally. Because Patrick Wooden
is both a pastor and a man whose imagination is wildly scatological, at least
when it comes to the gays.
Wooden is a North Carolina pastor and an outspoken, to say
the least, critic of LGBT rights. The American Family Association, National
Organization for Marriage, and the Family Research Council all consider Wooden
a good pal.
In an interview with anti-gay chattering heads Peter
LaBarbera and Matt Barber on their Americans for Truth Hour radio show, Wooden
made clear that he thinks gays are basically full of it.
"The God of the Bible made the human sperm, the God of the
Bible designed it and it was not designed to be emptied into an area that is
filled with feces, there is nothing for it to germinate with, it will most
certainly mean the extinction of the human race," Wooden said.
Hope you weren’t eating when you read that. But don’t worry.
It gets worse.
"My belief is that if the medical community would just step
forward and just would share with the American people what happens to the male
anus, the problems that homosexuals have with their rectums, the damage that is
done, the operations that are needed to sew up their bodies if you will, and
how many of the men don’t even give these stitches time to heal before they are
back out there practicing that wicked behavior," he continued. "Some are
bleeders, men who are not turned off by ingesting the feces of other men."
Woah. Where to even start? First of all, the claim that anal
sex will bring about the extinction of the human race is a little hyperbolic.
Just a tad. I mean, if somehow people all over the world, gay and straight and
everything in between, stopped any other form of sex then, sure, that might be
an issue. But to even suggest that is going to happen takes a really big leap
of faith and imagination. Then again, I think it’s pretty clear that Wooden’s
imagination is very, well, active. "Bleeders" eating poo? Dude.
I also really think that the key words in Wooden’s comments
are "my belief." It is his belief that the medical community should "step
forward" and "share" this anal fiction with America. As if there’s some huge
underground anus operation cabal no one is talking about.
And speaking of truth, Wooden had more to spew: "If the
truth was told, people would literally gag and no one would want to be in a
lifestyle like that. Who wants to practice anything that is going to ultimately
lead a grown man to about the time he’s in his 40s or 50s, or what not, having
to wear a diaper or a butt plug just to be able to contain their bowels?"
Wow, how do you even respond to that? I mean, besides having
gay men with healthy butts send photographic evidence to Wooden.
