California Lawmaker Says Christians Cannot Claim Rainbow

Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. Todd starts.

All right. Well, hello everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes radio program. What an honor to have you with us. Wherever you might be, border to border, coast to coast, across the fruited plain. Wow, we have a big show for you today. Of course, primary, it's primary day in four states. And we have the big runoff in South Carolina, where there's a pretty contentious race for governor there. We'll check in with Josh Jones, our chief Republican strategist, coming up in just a little while. Also, James Tallarico, new audio servicing. You know, this guy loves to talk, and it's the gift that keeps on giving for the Republicans. Tallarico now says that he hates Christianity, and he also is complaining about his whiteness. So we'll get into all of that. We've got the exclusive audio. We will be playing that for you a little bit later on today. By the way, our telephone number, I want you to write this down, 901-260-5926.
That's 901-260-5926.
Now, there is some interesting audio. I want to start, we're going to start with something a little different. I wanted to do the whole pond scum folks and the creature from the Black Lagoon. We're going to get to that in just a moment, but I want to start with something that that has been bothering me of late. And we are in the throes of Gay Pride Month, right? And it's interesting, ladies and gentlemen, and I think that when you step back and when you look at what's been happening in this particular Gay Pride Month has been, I don't know that it's been overly, overly gay. I think it's just been overly weird and overly perverse, right? It's not as if there are more things happening. As a matter of fact, I mean, if you listen to, for example, Tony Perkins and a lot of the other folks out there in the religious liberty world, that the Gay Pride, the whole Gay Pride thing is sort of fading. The colors of the rainbow are are fading. I mean, that's what they're telling us. And that may be the case, but it seems as though the celebrations are getting more profane and perverse. Just the other day, there was a new scandal involving the, oh, who was it? It was one of these, I think it was Gross Point, and which is an appropriate name for what was happening because apparently a rather large drag queen, a guy dressed in ladies clothes, was spreading his legs and exposing his crotch to the children.
Parents did not seem to mind one bit about all of that. It's just all very, I don't know, weird and gross and sick and disgusting. So anyway, I say all that to point in your direction. A story at toddstarnes.com. And this information came to us last night. I wanted to make sure we got the story up in time for today's program. And I would encourage you to go to toddstarnes.com and check out our story. It's called California Lawmakers Says Christians Cannot Claim the Rainbow.
And ladies and gentlemen, it just seems to me based upon what this lawmaker, his name, by the way, is California State Senator Scott Wiener. And Wiener is running for the US. Congress. He's going to be replacing Nancy Pelosi in the San Francisco area. And yes, yes, I do find it somewhat ironic that San Francisco will be represented by a Wiener in Congress. I mean, it's, who would have thought? But that's a conversation for another day. The fact of the matter is this guy's going to win. So this guy is going to go to Congress. He'll be packing up his buttless leather chaps and his other paraphernalia. And you've seen it all. We've shared the photos with you. The guy is like a weirdo, a weirdo, a perv. So anyway, Wiener is out there, and he is in a he is in really a mood. He's very upset because Major League Baseball has now backed away from punishing the three San Francisco Giants players who wrote Bible verses on their ball caps. And the Major League Baseball is they understand what's going on. The blowback here was so severe that Major League Baseball had absolutely no choice but to step in and say, oopsie, we made a mistake. We made a mistake. Yes, they did make a mistake, a grievous mistake. And they were hearing it from everybody. Not so much the Protestants as much as they were the Catholics. So anyway, Weiner is very upset because he wanted those guys punished. And he said that that anybody who writes any kind of a Bible verse on their pride hat is defacing the hat and also committing homophobia. Now, what I find interesting here is the Major League Baseball still trying to have it both ways. And they're saying, well, look, you know, we were never really going to punish the players, but you can't, you know, you cannot write or deface anything on your uniforms. Well, that's not true. And we know that because the players normally do not wear pride attire. So this was a special carve out for the LGBT community. And we'll get to more of that in just a moment. So anyway, Wiener is still very upset about all of this.
