A Florida legislature hearing on a proposed "bathroom bill" brought something of a fire-and-brimstone sermon this week, when Republican Rep. Webster Barney called transgender people "demons" and "imps" – and he made it clear the label applied to the ones sitting at the witness table.
Barnaby, who represents DeLand, began by saying that when he looks at society today, he feels as if he's watching an X-Men or Marvel movie, such that:
“We have people that live among us today on planet Earth that are happy to display themselves as if they were mutants from another planet. This is the planet Earth, where God created men male and women female.
I'm a proud Christian, conservative, Republican. I'm not on the fence. There is so much darkness in our world today. So much evil in our world today. And so many people who are afraid to address the evil, the dysphoria, the dysfunction.
I'm not afraid to address the dysphoria or the dysfunction. The Lord rebuke you, Satan, and all of your demons and all of your imps who come and parade before us."
Apparently responding to shocked reactions from the LGBT and trans activist witnesses in front of him, he continued:
"That's right – I called you demons and imps who come and parade before us and pretend that you are part of this world. So I'm saying, my righteous indignation is stirred. I am sick and tired of this. I'm not going to put up with it."
