SOUTH DAKOTA: GOP Rep Says Gay Sex Is "One Way Alley For The Garbage Truck"

"Certainly there are board-certified doctors in our state who will attest to what seems self-evident to so many: gay sex is not good for the body or mind. Pardon a crude comparison but regarding men with men, we are talking about a one-way alley meant only for the garbage truck to go down. Frankly, I’d question the judgment of doctor who says it’s all fine. This indeed is a matter of being on the wrong side of history considering that homosexuality has been a notable marker of the downfall of past civilizations, not their rise. It’s not hate for a physician to speak up about something that is harmful to human health. It is not unloving to tell people you don’t have to have sex with and marry someone to love and be loved by them. As one who performs marriages and counsels couples as part of my professional life, marriage is the last thing I’d recommend to someone who simply wants to be loved and legitimized." - South Dakota GOP state Rep. Steve Hickey, in an open letter he's trying to get a local newspaper to publish. Hickey is pastor.
