ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- A Minnesota lawmaker's speech against banning gay marriage in the state's Constitution has become an online hit.
A video of Rep. Steve Simon's remarks had more than 170,000 views on YouTube early Thursday.
At a Capitol hearing on Monday, the St. Louis Park Democrat asked, "How many gays must God create before we accept that he wants them around?"

“How many gays must God create before we accept that he wants them around?”
One. Still waitin’ for the homosexual that God created.
Oh, that’s good!
What a stupid question. Of course, I shouldn't expect logic from a liberal. Let's pose that same question with these scenarios:
How many rapists must God create before we accept that he wants them around?
How many pedophiles must God create before we accept that he wants them around?
How many thieves, murderers, liars, drug dealers and users, extortionists, prostitutes, etc. must God create before we accept that he wants them around?
The list can go on and on but God didn't "create" people to be any of those things; they chose to be those things. Those who do these sins must repent of these sins, not blame their upbringing or claim "God made them this way". All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and He now requires all to repent and come to knowledge of Him.
Fact is, God has already declared what He wants from mankind in terms of marriage. From the beginning, He created male and female and declared that a marriage between a man and a woman is good. There are no same-gender pairings equivalent to male/female marriage in the Scripture that God calls "good". In fact, there are numerous passages where He considers the sexual behavior of such couplings as "not good", using some of the harshest, strongest language. Any objective observer would conclude that if God feels this way about same-gender sexual BEHAVIOR, then it follows that God doesn't accept so-called "same-sex marriage". We don't have to accept anything that God had nothing to do with. And if God does want them around, He wants them to repent of their wicked behavior and stop blaming Him for their sinful choice.
AAAahhhhhrrrggghhhh!!! My eyes! My eyes!
How Many PBR Swilling Hipsters Must God Create Before We Accept That He Wants Them Around?
How Many Old Guys With Ponytails Must God Create Before We Accept That He Wants Them Around?
How Many Lady GaGa Loving Emos Must God Create Before We Accept That He Wants Them Around?
How Many Patchouli Stinky Hippies Must God Create Before We Accept That He Wants Them Around?
Good work - I was going to post something similar.
Just because there are “a lot of them” doesn’t mean they are to be considered righteous and “good”.
We’re all born with a propensity to sin, some in some ways, others in other ways. Just because a lot of us [kill, steal, commit adultery, lie, despise our parents] doesn’t mean that God wants that particular sin “around”.
God does not create homosexuals, they are converted.
So, a lot of people do something wrong, and because of the sheer number, that somehow represents God’s approval?
Depends somewhat on your interpretation of Romans 1.
When people are in steadfast rebellion to the Creator,
His wrath is shown in giving them over to a depraved mind among other things.
ref: Rom 1:18-32
God doesn’t create gays. The devil does.
Or just the clips which push an anti-family agenda?

Big “yes” to that one!
I was thinking along the same lines.
As if God created these perverts!
Guess we’d better keep the necrophiliacs and murderers in our midst, as well.
And many if not most of those were probably thinking “what a STUPID woman this broad is!”

Well, after the cable news channels pushed that video, I am sure many of the men looking at her were also thinking some other thoughts. I seem to recall she had on some rather revealing clothing.
A monumentally stupid man....
Holy Matrimony is a sacrament; a gift of grace from God, NOT A RIGHT!!!
Just George Washington and the other founding fathers.
Okay, during the revolutionary war they were mostly young and middle aged guys with ponytails, but most of the paintings are later in life when they were old guys with poneytails (some fake because they were bald by that point in time).
"God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
God created Man in his image. He created Males and Females and this is stamped on our DNA and how our brains work. Those who try to cross over frequently commit suicide or die on the operating tables.
No, when we say something that God didn't say, as Steve Simon did, we need to call him on it. For God didn't say He created him; male and female and Gay He created them.
. No, it says "He created him (man); male and female" and to add to it is evil.
Hmmmmmm alcoholics atleast can procreate.
