On a recent episode of his "Pray In Jesus Name" program, Gordon Klingenschmitt declared that gays are driven by a demonic "spirit of persecution" that makes them attack Christians and "demand to have sex in your guest bedroom."
Klingenschmitt, who is also a Republican state legislator in Colorado, was discussing the decision by the owners of a bakery in Oregon who were fined for refusing service to a gay couple to appeal their case to the state supreme court.
"There is a spirit of persecution that is coming out of this homosexual movement," Klingenschmitt said, "and it's not enough that they get weddings in their own private churches, they want to come to your church, they want to come to your business, they might even come to your home — if you are a bed and breakfast owner, they'll come right into your home and demand to have sex in your guest bedroom and there's nothing you can do, they say, to deny them service because they have a right to violate your freedom."
"That is an evil spirit of persecution," he stated. "There are also evil spirits influencing them to come after the church and we've got to stand up, not necessarily against the humans, we've got to stand up against Satan, who is inside of them."
