David Barton, the evangelical Christian founder of the group WallBuilders, thinks the federal government should regulate gay sex the way it does alcohol, cigarettes, and certain harmful food ingredients.
According to Right Wing Watch, Barton and his cohost Rick Green made the bigoted proposal during their WallBuilders radio program Tuesday, in which they butchered health statistics to argue for one area where their limited government agenda could make room for federal intervention.
"So if I go to the Centers for Disease Control and I'm concerned about health, I find some interesting stats there and this should tell me something about health," said Barton.
"Homosexual/bisexual individuals are seven times to contemplate or commit suicide. Ooh, that doesn't sound very healthy," he cooed.
"Homosexuals die decades earlier than heterosexuals. That doesn't sound healthy.
"Nearly one half of practicing homosexuals admit to 500 or more sex partners and nearly one third admit to a thousand or more sex partners in a lifetime," said Barton.
Right Wing Watch provides audio and a transcript of the conversation.
