Jennifer Roback Morse, head of the
Christian conservative Ruth Institute, has criticized President
Barack Obama for not including “ex-gays” in his final State of
the Union address.
In his nearly 1-hour speech, Obama
praised “the son who finds the courage to come out as who he is,
and the father whose love for that son overrides everything he's been
taught.”
Obama “talked about the courage
required for a young guy to come out to his parents, completely
omitting the fact that right now coming out does not require as much
courage as is required by a person who says, 'You know, I feel
same-sex attraction, but what I want to do is not act on it. What I
want to do is live up to my church's teachings. What I want to do is
walk away from the gay lifestyle that I've been living. That's what
I want to do.' Now, that person, that takes a lot of courage to talk
like that in today's world, but Obama didn't mention any of those
people,” Morse said in an interview with the podcast Issues,
Etc.
Morse also attacked the White House for
inviting Jim Obergefell to the State of the Union. Obergefell was
the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that found gay couples
have a constitutional right to marry.
“Well, he’s trying to say,
obviously he's trying to treat Obergefell as a hero, as a Rosa Parks
type figure or something like that,” Morse
said of the president.
“I would have been more impressed if
he could have invited the Goodridges [the plaintiffs in the landmark
2003 Massachusetts marriage equality ruling] … but the Goodridges
are no longer married to one another. So it will be interesting to
see if Mr. Obergefell remains married to his true love there for whom
we redefined marriage for the entire country,” she added without
mentioning that Obergefell's husband died in 2013 from Lou Gehrig's
disease, just months after the couple exchanged vows.
The last paragraph pretty much sums up this dimwitted idiot and her equally dimwitted brood of self loathers.
