UPDATE: A Blender did a transcript of the insanity. Added below.
Holy crap, I don’t know how I missed this beauty. During testimony in DC before the Board of Elections and Ethics regarding the District’s law that recognizes out of state marriages (it was upheld), Minister Leroy Swailes comes untethered from reality to condemn homosexuality by invoking pedophilia, bestiality, the anti-Christ, and extermination of the human race (since, of course, homosexuality is anti-human). Via HRC:
“A beast has four legs and one gender. If you put two men together, you have four legs and two penises…that’s one gender — that’s a form of bestiality.”
Hat tip to Blender aethersaplings for the mind-blowing transcript:
Now when I, when I was growing up here sex was only between a male and female. Now it’s between Adam and Adam Eve and Eve which I can’t understand. You talk about discrimination and people’s rights. OK. The thing about it is you have rights and you have human rights but you have inhuman rights. If a man get with another man a woman get with another man. That’s it it’s inhuman. So me as a man that deals with the deals with the opposite sex I don’t see how you can put the two together. You have to separate them. Once you separate them that would be discrimination. Cause discrimination’s a negative and a positive. Me as a black men when they discriminated against me I came out of my mother’s womb like I didn’t have a choice. That was a negative discrimination. If you discriminate against a homosexual that’s a positive. Why? Cause of the children. You’ve got people they called pedophiles. Then you got pedophilia. What is pedophilia? It’s when your deception is Adam and Adam Eve and Eve. And you’re going to look in the eyes of a child and you’re going to tell a child that sex is between Adam and Adam Eve and Eve. You become a pedophile.These books here. These books here. When they talk about King and King. And this and this Prince (unintelligible) Prince is a pedophile book. This book here that says Heather and Heather is a pedophile book. Pedophalia. Pha-Phaillia. This book here that talk about. Daddy’s Roommate? Is a pedophile book. This book here talk about All Families Are Different. Has to do with what? You have, let’s see God’s family which is a natural family. And you have the Anti-Christ family. Either you Christ or you Anti-Christ. Make your decision. Whatcha gonna be? You cannot be both. But if you can look in the eyes of a child and tell a child they have a choice to be hetero heterosexual or homosexual you have a serious problem. And we’re back to discrimination and human rights.
Everybody should have human rights but you have to be human. You and me you deal with the opposite sex. That’s by nature. That’s a blueprint. If there’s a plan there’s a plan. If there’s a design there’s a design. That’s the way the planet was designed. We cannot cha-change the cycle of life. That’s just like oxygen comes from plants. It goes up into the air. It mix with molecules with others in the air. It comes down hit Mother Earth. When they penetrate inserts Mother Earth we have what? What. We have life. Homosexuality’d destroy us. There would be extinction of the human race. If you go back five thousand years and do the research like I have (unintelligible) last culture it was the death of their culture why? Because they gave in to strange sexua sex strange. They gave in to strange flesh. The same sex. Which is a form of bestiality. Why is it a form of bestiality? Because a beast has four legs and one gender. If you put two men together they have four legs and two penises and still one gender. That’s a form of bestiality. That’s what we’re accepting here. If you put Adam Eve and Eve together two vaginas are still one gender. That’s a form of bestiality.
We have to separate it. And when you separate something you’re discrimination. If I put a glass of water here and a glass of poison, which one you’re gonna choose? You’re gonna choose the water. That’s discrimination. If you put a heterosexual girl here and a homosexual girl here I’m going choose a heterosexual. That’s discrimination. Discrimination is a negative and a positive. In order to have a future with our children and everything the word discrimination have to come in. To protect children. I cannot look in the eyes of a child and tell that child you got a choice to be heterosexual or homosexual. That would make me a sadist. So what is a sadist? A sadist is someone that distorts sex. Sex is only between a male and female and somebody comin around and tell you that they’d become a sadist. And I don’t practice Satanism. And we as a city, D.C., we got to realize that you gotta ‘scriminate against something that’s inhuman. Thank you very much.

Get a load of that T-shirt.
I saw this a while agoI don’t think I have the stomach to watch it again. One line in particular I recall: “You talk about human rights, but you have to be human.” Charming.
I hope…..…….he comes out for NOM.
I think he spent too much timelistening to Rick Santorum.
The name Swailes is familiar to me, in a pop-culture kind of way.
Ah! That’s it – Dragnet, the movie with Dan Ackroyd. He was dating “The Virgin Connie Swailes”.
NEW NEW NEW….Hey folks, under the 365 column on WASH DC news one commenter stated that in Pennsylvania they will be discussing… get this..PRO-MARRIAGE LAWS. I love it! New term… we want it. GO PRO Marriage!
he must feel sheepishMy, my, homophobes seem far more obsessed with homosexual sex than I could ever be, and by a significant factor. And what’s this fascination of theirs with animal husbandry?
InsaneThese people are full-on, bat-sh*t, f*cking insane! In any other time, they’d be in an asylum–or at least heavily dosed with anti-psychotic drugs. But no! In this enlightened age, all voices are heard. Even the ones they only hear in their heads…
Heh,I just watched that the other night for about the fiftieth time. Great movie.
UnbelievableHe’s just won’t run down. Bestiality? He needs to take the Eveready Bunny out of his butt?
It’s originalYa gotta give him credit for that.
i can’t believe they let him go on that longthat’s the oldest preschooler i’ve ever seen….my favorite part was when he pulled his books out of his backpack for a little show and tell and a discussion about sex with children. they looked brand-new–i suspect he hasn’t read them. actually, i suspect he can’t read.
i always wonder if it’s christianity that has kept these people stupid, or if if christianity just attracts already-stupid people.
This guy is hilarious!What strikes me is that this man is so adamantly against “putting two men together” and “two women together”, and yet he has clearly spent quite a lot of time thinking about it! He really has developed his arguments with considerable cogitation and reflection, almost with the adamance of a person who has just stopped smoking and tells us all of the evils of smoking while secretly desire a cigarette right here and now.
Edgar Allen Poe said that those things that we most fear and abhor ATTRACT US precisely because we think their terribly wrong. And so the more time we spend thinking about what we MUST NOT DO, the more power the forbiddden begins to have over us.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this man’s arguments are the ones he has developed to convince himself not to do that which his own nature calls him incessantly to do.
On the other hand, you have to admit that his arguments are no more absurd then the reasoning of Markos C. Alberto Moulitsas Zúñiga (MAMZ), opposing ALL gay service in the military!
Maybe he feels sheep?And feels terrible about it?
I haven’t seen a full video of the hearing or read a full transcript,but I just have to ask: Did even one “affirming” Christian minister stand up to point out that this man is absolutely, 100% dumbfucking nuts, and that not one sentence of his testimony bears even the slightest resemblance to the Christian intellectual tradition (such as it is)? I’m guessing not, but I’d be delighted to find out I’m wrong.
I suspecthis particular brand of religious insanity does our side much more good than he realizes.
Like Jeff from Coupling said…[I swear to god this was the first thing I thought of when I heard this video and the guy's counting of penises, vaginas, and legs. -- Lane]

[And this one is just fun.]
So when was the last time this clown supported constitutional amendmentsprohibiting pedophiles from marriage? Apparently he overlooked the fact that, as long as they are heterosexual, they can marry and produce their own victims.
These clowns are all alike. They rage and rant and whine, but they know pedos can marry and they haven’t done anything to stop it at all.
Adn doubts?The right wing has set up this man and his congregation to be the infantry in their war. While Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Neill, Savage, Beck, Malkin, and Coulter may not personally give one hoot one way or another about gay people, we play a very useful role in their war.
Tell me, please, what happens when men like this one are given free reign by a right-wing regime to do what they want with gay people. Is there anyone here who has any doubts that this man and his congregation would stuff all gay people into ovens if they were able to?
Then ask yourself what happens if, in the next few years, this country goes into a full-on depression. Will the bankers who caused the depression allow themselves to take the blame, or will they pay their media, their pastors, and their think tanks to have us be one of the scapegoats?
Crusading for Christ
Oh, yes, I can easily see folks like that burning us at the stake (figuratively, and literally) to appease their god (themselves) and bring back some kind of evil, narrow-minded theocracy. Have sheeple who go to work without complaint is good for business, and if that same flock is content that they purged “the sin of pedarasty, & al” business will be great.
@LeroyYou’ll never be caught in that awkward position of 4 legs, with or without 2 penises.
and another thing you can say for masturbation….you don’t have to look your best.
Two Arms, Two Legs and No BrainWait, but gay couples also involve four arms. Eight limbs and one gender. Gay couples are a masturbating octopus.
Religionist ZealotsWhen will our elected representatives stand up for education, logic, and our secular rights? They should have shut down this delusional fanatic the moment he walked in with that crazy shirt on. Uh, Excuse Me! Why don’t you just pray away the gay LOL
not a DC residentI don’t know why he was allowed to testify. A quick googling shows he lives in Oxon Hill, MD.
In Living ColorAll I kept thinking about when I watched this clown is the skit Damon Wayans did on In Living Color, where he played a rambling, psuedo-militant in jail.
WhateverThis guy clearly shows he has the intellect of a chimp. So when he goes home and has sex with his wife that must be bestiality right?
for a secondI thought this was Sarah Palin’s resignation speech.
But just as unintelligible. To borrow from psychology. This is “word salad”.
I disagree…this is not word salad.There is a logic. It’s just unsophisticated and discredited logic. The sound of a lone toad hopping nervously from one lilypad to another. Like Sarah Palin.
That is some polite crowd behind Leroy.I’m sure all us city dwellers could volunteer a favorite bus route number where most days you can hear the likes of a Rev. Leroy holding forth in a crazed stream of consciousness on the issues burning holes in their brains. All that’s missing is a close-in shot of the spittle dribbling down his chin.
Leroy seems to have a particular fixation with “penetration.” I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone being able to work it into a mention of planetary oxygen recycling quite like he did.
Four legs and two penises
LOL! What is this guy smoking?
what
Hahaha!
Seriously, how in the world does he rationalize that teaching kids about all types of families being equal is pedophilia? You don’t even have to go into sex to do that! Do you talk about sex every time you talk about a family? Hell, just keep it in the realm of “love” until the kid’s old enough to discuss sex. At least then, hopefully, the kid won’t have any bigoted ideas about different types of sex, because he’ll already know about different types of love.
And last time I checked, pedophilia has nothing to do with love, unless you’re Humbert Humbert.
Yeah I’m late to the party…and I’m glad in a way.
This guy makes me ANGRY!
Like wrath of god angry.
I’m Intersexed.
His litle rant is very upsetting to me.
sigh
