An extremist American religious anti-gay radio host has said the LGBT community has ‘won’.

Michael Brown, who has accused gay people of being the most ‘intolerant people out there’, said he was not surprised by the recent victories of the human rights movement.

He said: ‘I’m not in the least bit surprised by the victories of the “gay revolution”.

In fact, when I first became involved in this specific aspect of the “culture wars” less than nine years ago, I saw back then that our side had already lost the battle and that gay activism had won the day.

‘So, these recent developments don’t faze or surprise me in the least. From day one, my trust was in God, not people, and that’s where my trust remains.

‘Attempts to redefine marriage and family and to normalize different sexual orientations may have their day, but that day will pass.

He continued: ‘In the end, I can truly thank gay activists for helping us understand their world better – including the pain of bullying and the unique struggles they have endured – and for that, I am grateful.

‘And I can admire their zeal and courage, even while differing with their goals.’

Brown adds: ‘But just as they didn’t throw in the towel when they were a tiny, vilified minority, much less we will throw in the towel when their revolution seems to be winning the day. This too shall pass.’

In the past, Brown has previously claimed ‘gay activism’ was to blame for the brutal murder of gay California teen Lawrence King and ‘hypersensitive’ gays want to throw Christians ‘in jail’.

Recently, outspoken Republican politician New Gingrich announced his belief same-sex unions are ‘inevitable’ and that right-wingers must accept this if they wish to win future elections.

David Blankenhorn, a noted campaigner against marriage equality in the US, recently said ‘the time has come for me to accept gay marriage and emphasize the good it can do.’

According to the Pew Research Center, more Americans favor marriage equality than oppose it in 2013.
