Social conservative Bryan Fischer on
Thursday called on the government to ban homosexuality because, like
trans fats, it is “a hazard to human health.”
Fischer made his comments on the same
day the FDA announced that it would phase out the use of trans fats
in the United States, stating that such fats remain “a significant
public health concern.”
“That's what makes your hamburger
taste good and your french fries taste good and that's what gives a
longer shelf life to food. It adds flavor to food,” Fischer
told his Focal Point radio audience.
The FDA is “convinced it is a hazard
to human health, even though it makes your frosting taste better,
your donuts taste better, it makes your crackers taste better.”
“Well, if we were going to take that
same reasoning we would ban homosexuality for the same reason. It is
a hazard to human health.”
“So again you see this sort of
complete inconsistency when it comes to public policy in regard to
human health.” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit
