“To use children as guinea pigs in radical San Francisco-style social experimentation is deplorable,” says Matt Barber, policy director for cultural issues at the a homophobic lobby group Concerned Women for America, in a comment on the California Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage.

Guinea pigs? He is talking about the children whose parents are gay.

Bob Unruh of World Net Daily, a conservative news website, if furious with hate. In an article entitled “Black robes trash traditional marriage”, Mr Unruh says the ruling “trashed society’s traditional institution of marriage” by opening it up for “same-sex duos”.

Words are important. Any bully knows that. So it is no coincidence Barber, Unruh and other Christian propagandists reduce gay families with children to duos with guinea pigs. The goal is to dehumanize us, to make us less human. Joseph Goebbels used the same methods.
