That quote, in full context:Mr.B wrote:From Dec. 22, 2014:rstrong wrote:"Joke about him all you want. Just keep his wife out of these banterings."
The quote was about Gaylard, but yes, it also referred to Mr.B. Given Mr.B's homophobia-to-the-point-of-obsession (and his hypocrisy-to-the-point-of-obsession) - no-one would be the least bit surprised to see him in the same situation.rstrong wrote:Joke about him all you want.

Homophobic pastor arrested for squeezing man's genitals in park
The Praise Cathedral Church of God's Gaylard Williams, of Seymour, Indiana, was arrested this week when he allegedly massaged a stranger's genitals in a park and asked him for oral sex; police found pornography in his car (which he claimed was being delivered to someone else) -- Williams is a noted homophobic preacher whose sermons condemn homosexuals.
Sort of like how a number of any-gay right-wing politicians have been outed as gay. Or Southern Baptist minister George Rekers, one of the leaders of the "ex-gay" therapy pushers NARTH. Who testified in court that homosexuality is sinful and destructive, and against parenthood by gay and lesbian people in a number of court cases. And who hired a male escort from gay escort service RentBoy.com for a two week European vacation.
New York Times: Homophobic? Maybe You’re Gay
Anyway, that's the context.WHY are political and religious figures who campaign against gay rights so often implicated in sexual encounters with same-sex partners?
In recent years, Ted Haggard, an evangelical leader who preached that homosexuality was a sin, resigned after a scandal involving a former male prostitute; Larry Craig, a United States senator who opposed including sexual orientation in hate-crime legislation, was arrested on suspicion of lewd conduct in a men’s bathroom; and Glenn Murphy Jr., a leader of the Young Republican National Convention and an opponent of same-sex marriage, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge after being accused of sexually assaulting another man.
One theory is that homosexual urges, when repressed out of shame or fear, can be expressed as homophobia. Freud famously called this process a “reaction formation” — the angry battle against the outward symbol of feelings that are inwardly being stifled. Even Mr. Haggard seemed to endorse this idea when, apologizing after his scandal for his anti-gay rhetoric, he said, “I think I was partially so vehement because of my own war.”
It’s a compelling theory — and now there is scientific reason to believe it....
