Craziest speeches of Springfield city council public forum on gay non-discrimination amendment

City council meeting on 8/13/2012 to hear public comment on adding sexual orientation to list of people protected by our cities non-discrimination rules. The christian community and one great troll preacher turned out to voice their opposition to this amendment, while many pro-lgbt supporters spoke in favor of the bill. This video shows some of the most ridiculous quotes from that night.

*Please don't click "thumbs down" just because these people are saying stupid things. The point of this video is to show everyone how ridiculous these people are*

Separation of Church and State... why don't folks understand what that means?

[LeilaWillems]

Long live the trolling preacher, he wins at life. All the rest of them need to check their calendars, it's the 21st century there should be a separation between church and state. You can think same gender marriage is wrong but then the only thing you can do is not marry someone of the same gender, other then that you should not hate on love

32:50 the girl's face in the audience says, "htf did he misinterpret the message??"

[Leon Lowry]

Some little thing wrong with these people! There's one spot off my bucket list!!

[Jeroen Ashton]

The woman at 33min basically started with the racist's classic disclaimer, "Before I make my racist remarks, you should know that I have a couple of black friends!"

[joshm60]

I can't believe how many people made arguments along the lines of "Discrimination is uncommon, therefore we shouldn't have anti-discrimination laws."  When making this argument, one is saying that it's OK to allow some discrimination.

The woman at around late 27 minutes... so ignorant

[Kate Wilkinson]

Makes me want to punch my laptop

ahh. see i dont think its Gods fault. he said to love your neighbor and treat him as you would be treated. people just cling on to the wrong parts of what he may have said. if someone is going to use god as an argument, they have to use everything he said about it. andddd they dont. they pick and choose to fit their argument. :| its gayyyyyy

[419dman]

It was a failed attempt at being pithy, conservatives would like to blame Gays for their woes but sometimes it just seems like that guy they worship can be a total A-hole.

[Megzilla2008]

no dear. i meant National Disasters. like NOT an act of god. like some horrible thing that can actually affect people. as far as i know my sexuality doesn't affect you in any way...
