Hypocrite Of The Day - Rev. Jason McGuire

Rev. Jason McGuire, who calls marriage equality supporters "of Satan," wants NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo to apologize for saying that it's "un-American" to oppose civil rights.

McGuire said he was offended by the comments. ”It is one thing to disagree on an issue of public policy, but it is quite another to question the patriotism of 150 million (or more) Americans,” he said in a statement. The governor should apologize for his remarks, McGuire said. “It is not a bigoted statement to say that children need a mother and a father,” he wrote in a letter to Cuomo today. “I contend that many of the issues our state is struggling with can be traced back to absentee fathers, a general lack of parental involvement and the breakdown of the family: low graduation rates, out-of-wedlock births, runaway welfare and Medicaid costs, even the spread of sexually-transmitted diseases.”

Cuomo made the comments at the New York Times forum I attended last week. McGuire heads the NOM-affiliated Family Research Foundation.
