Christian radio host: Marriage equality encourages gay sex with 'the very young'

Linda Harvey, a radio host and founder of a Christian organization that opposes LGBT rights, says that"homosexual marriage is wrong because homosexuality is wrong" and it promotes gay sex with "the very young."

During her Monday "Mission America" radio broadcast on WRFD, Harvey struggled to understand last month's marriage equality victories in Maine, Maryland and Washington.

"The homosexual lobby is skillful at manipulating public sympathy by tugging on heartstrings while not telling the whole story," she explained. "Our side sometimes plays right into their hands by also not telling the whole story, even when we get the chance."

"Until we deal with the core issue -- the behavior of homosexuality -- it was probably only a matter of time before our side would lose a few races," Harvey opined. "Homosexual marriage is wrong because two men together or two women is intrinsically disordered, the behavior is unnatural. These aren't activities that are beneficial or healthy. Homosexual marriage is wrong because homosexuality is wrong."

The radio host continued by warning listeners that there were "significant dangers to our youth" from legalized same sex marriage.

"One thing our culture does not want if it wants to survive is to have its youth corrupted and this is happening in oh so many ways now, and homosexuality is one more," she insisted. "And here's how it works with homosexuality: since no pregnancy threat exists, some people think there's no reason to prohibit behavior in the young, even the very young."

"And that's one of the big reasons by homosexual marriage is wrong: because the young are raised on the mores and traditions of the adults and if same sex marriage is accepted, then children will begin to consider dating and forming relationship in these very different ways; ways that will be very destabilizing to many of them and to our society."
