Robert Jeffress: Gay Sex is Like Plugging a TV in the Wrong Socket, Making it Explode

It was hard to fathom how Robert Jeffress could possibly refine his already highly nuanced views on human sexuality, but the First Baptist pastor has managed, somehow, to do just that.

Right Wing Watch brings us a video of Jeffress's appearance last week on Trinity Broadcasting Network's "Praise the Lord" in which he further toned down his anti-gay rhetoric.

His premise is there are many ways to deviate from "God's standard," sexually speaking. Premarital sex, adultery, unbiblical divorce, man on man, woman on woman, man on woman on man -- they're all wrong in the Lord's eyes.

He goes on to explain why: "Think about this one time in heaven God was sitting up there with his sketch pad and he said, 'You know, I'm going to design human beings and would it be fun of they started doing this together with one another.'" Jeffress illustrates this by excitedly jabbing his fingers at one another in a way that makes you feel truly sorry for the missus. "God dreamed up sex, He thought it up for our enjoyment, He gave us the equipment to enjoy it with."

Conservative heads, they just can't wrap their little minds around anyone being different. Or anyone not being in the closet and toe tapping at airports.

i thought the fundies swear it's only for procreation. Hence the "het-only" dogma. If this doofus admits it's for pleasure (duh), why does he get to decide for everyone?
