Isn't it always the same with these homophobes? They say that their words are taken out of context when they are criticized for their remarks.
Abby: Marty, Sen. Eichelberger tells me his radio debate over same sex marriage was taken out of context and he adds that the group that's demanding an apology is making it difficult for people on both sides of the issue to have a proper discussion.
Host: But are you saying Sen. Eichelberger that by their very nature, homosexual relationships are dysfunctional?
Eichelberger Um, yes, I guess I would say that.
Nice try with the out-of-context canard. PA's (R) John Eichelberger really has people mad over his radio debate and rightly so. (h/t Ben)

If despite that, you're still somehow convinced that Mr. Integrity First is "anti-homosexual," you'll be happy to know that he believes in allowing teh gays to exist!
