Sandy Rios: LGBT Rights Advocates Support 'Fascism'

On her radio program today(link is external), American Family Association official Sandy Rios blasted New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for issuing(link is external) a ban on non-essential state travel to Mississippi and North Carolina after the two states enacted anti-LGBT laws.

Rios, after baselessly claiming that Cuomo “was seen in a Che Guevara t-shirt in Cuba,” said that the executive order(link is external) amounts to fascism: “This is the fascist movement in our country and the fascism is against people who have, primarily, Christian values, Judeo-Christian values, and it’s not going to end just because the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage.”

She then went after the activists behind the tongue-in-cheek billboard featuring a drawing of Jesus reading, “Guys, I said hate figs and to love thy neighbor(link is external),” calling it “a clever play on words by the left to try to shame people for their strong position that Christians have a right to run their businesses and exercise their own consciences when it comes to accepting, embracing, supporting, encouraging gay relationships and homosexual marriage.”
