Mike “Homosexuality is Immoral” Farris Endorses Scott Rigell
I wonder if GOPper 2nd district candidate Scott Rigell did his homework on this guy Mike Farris before he so gushingly announced his endorsement on Facebook.
Publicly proclaiming that “homosexual behavior is immoral“, this founder of the Home School Legal Defense Fund is a faithful adherent to the “Christian World View of Law“. Not only do these Dominionists believe that homosexuality is immoral, but they want it outlawed as well.
2.6. Sexual Morality
2.6.1. Recognizing in law that monogamous, heterosexual marriage is the only legitimate place for sexual expression and pleasure;
2.6.2. Opposing by law all other forms of sexual relationship and expression—e.g., homosexual and lesbian relationships, bestiality, incest, etc.
So whacked is Farris’ extreme “world view” and the political agenda of HSLDA, that the Organization of Virginia Homeschoolers which represents over 85% of the homeschooling community in Virginia that its President is forced to “doing damage control behind HSLDA.” Unlike HSLDA, OVH is an inclusive grassroots advocacy group that provides accurate information and advocacy for ALL homeschoolers.
So this endorsement from this extreme right winger begs a number of questions to candidate Rigell, number 1 of which is his beliefs on homosexuality and number 2 of which is his concerns for the 85% of Virginia’s homeschooling community not under Farris’ control and domination.

Farris – this is the guy behind Patrick Henry as well. Where, be you student or teacher, you have to sign an oath that you will “honor and obey all divinely appointed authorities” – how exactly do you get to be “divinely appointed”? Hey – I have an idea! Let Farris get God to divinely appoint Scott Rigell and then we’ll be required to vote for him!
Or will Mr. Rigell be touting Mr. Farris’ code that government should seek “biblical solutions to conflict”. Which biblical solution would that be? The flood? The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? The slaying of all men, women and children who worship differently than Mr. Farris, as in the Pentatuch? Perhaps Mr. Rigell can answer as to why he believes that the separation of church and state should be done away with.
I assume Mr. Rigell will indeed win the support of the Three Stooges of Virginia higher education – Farris (Patrick Henry College), Falwell (Liberty University) and Robertson (Regent University). Were the voters to decide on the basis of endorsements, one would hope this alone would safely see Glenn Nye back to Washington DC in November.

Rigell is also an “elder” in the church, that he and Jeff McWaters started, that broke away because of homosexuals being given rights. They also refuse to allow women to serve in the same role as men in the church.
