Bryan Fischer, the noted homophobe, conservative radio host, and director of issues analysis for the antigay American Family Association, is no stranger to outlandishly antigay statements. But this weekend, the right-wing pundit managed to connect recent progress toward LGBT equality with the controversial "not guilty" verdict delivered to George Zimmerman in his murder trial for the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

Fischer connected the two in a Tweet on Sunday:

Fischer frequently contends that legal marriage equality will lead to legalized polygamy, pedophilia, and bestiality. Earlier this month, Fischer said that a New Yorker cover depicting a silhouette of Sesame Street's Bert and Ernie in a loving embrace was tantamount to child abuse.
