Earlier this week, Renew America's Deputy National Grassroots Director, and analyst and columnist, Guy Adams, had this to say about gays on a radio program:
"The newest thing in Chicago, it's becoming a trend, and you're gonna find this hard to believe...sex with infants" ... "It's not enough that they have...you know when you engage in perversion, and homosexuality is perversion, we don't hate the gays mind you, we don't hate them, we hate what they're doing...pretty soon that perversion is like addiction, it's not enough, so you need to graduate to something else. You need to move on. So now they're having sex with animals, a small group that's getting bigger, sex with infants, sex in the street in Chicago out in the open, it's just getting more and more perverted."
His statements caused a bit of outcry from the LGBT community. One blogger emailed Adams asking for an apology and explanation of his remarks. This was Adams response:
From: "Guy Adams"
To: "Joe Brummer"

And guy again responds with a further call for war against LGBT Americans:

These are the type of statements that incite violence against LGBT people. If religious leaders say these things, people accept it as truth. If people think gays have sex with infants, then they will definitely hold hostility towards LGBT people. These statements are dangerous, and RenewAmerica would do well to distance themselves from Guy Adams as quickly as possible.

As a gay man, where do I go about finding infants to have sex with? They just aren't falling out of my girlfriend's vag fast enough...
Also, I'm concerned that I might not be able to have sex with an infant. My small-sized penis (5 inches long) might not fit all the way into an infant without killing it. How do I make sure to avoid damaging the goods?

Those are excellent questions to ask Mr. Adams. He seems to have more knowledge about sex with babies and spends more time thinking about it than is healthy, I'm sure.

as a mom, i just cant imagine how i would let my infant our of my site or someone i trusts care long enough for anything to happen.
maybe other moms just leave their children outside of the store when they shop nowadays?
