The Rev. Huey Mills, pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Lancaster, SC, has released a statement backing Rick Santorum and urging fellow evangelical Christians to oppose the nomination of Mitt Romney. In an emailed press release, Mills said:
“In obedience to the Judeo-Christian Scriptures, most South Carolinans and I have a sane and healthy homophobia, while Mitt Romney has a very bad case of homophilia; the man very clearly endorses dangerous, unhealthy homosexual conduct. Romney actually proclaimed gay youth pride days as governor of Massachusetts.”
“”The Word of Almighty God, from the Books of Moses to those of the Apostle Paul, commands faithful Jews and Christians to be homophobic. Carolinans have a God-fearing homophobia, while Mitt Romney wrongly endorses homosexuality as a good choice for our young people. Mitt Romney proved during the recent Meet the Press debate that he’s just as liberal on the gay agenda as he always has been. In 1994, he said ‘I think the gay community needs more support from the Republican Party,’ while at January 8 debate, Romney proudly announced, ‘a member of my cabinet was gay. I appointed people to the bench regardless of their sexual orientation.’ When asked when he last stood up and spoke out for increasing gay rights, Romney said ‘Right now.’ That Yankee is hopelessly left-wing on homosexuality.”
