Fischer: Discrimination Against Homosexuality Is Not Discrimination Against People

On his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer praised Gordon College in Massachusetts for maintaining its policy prohibiting students, faculty and staff from engaging in “homosexual practice.”

Fischer, who has long favored the criminalization of homosexuality, hailed the move, declaring that this is the “good kind” of discrimination that should underlie all of our public policy while laughably asserting that this sort of discrimination does not target people, but simply behavior.
