Stephen Baldwin Against Gay Marriage

International News, By Christian Taylor, 1st February, 2010

Stephen Baldwin, the lesser known of the Baldwin brothers, known for his recent appearance on UK’s Celebrity Big Brother and The Celebrity Apprentice in the US, has been mouthing off about homosexuality in a recent interview with The Guardian.

Baldwin, brother of Alec, Daniel and Billy, is a born again Christian, with a history of drug and alcohol addiction.

During the interview Baldwin is asked how he’d react if one of his daughters became a lesbian, and the other a stripper.

“Jesus or no Jesus, if my kid started working in a strip club, I’d beat her ass,” he says, in a very un-Christian-like fashion. “Now, the other question is interesting and culturally relevant. I have two or three very dear friends who are homosexual and they know I’m born again and we have an understanding that we’re just not going there…”

The journalist writes: “For the next 20 minutes, we have an intense discussion – argument, really – during which Stephen reveals that he’s all for gay men who, through their faith, reject their homosexuality and get married: ‘To turn away from that lifestyle is astonishing.’ Yes, Stephen, it is. And he’s definitely not for gay marriage.”

When the journalist asks about gay marriage, he says: “I believe that the family unit has fundamentally been the most positive thing for society and I don’t believe that any minority has the right to create changes that impact on the majority. That’s really the only issue for me.”

In the past Baldwin has said that gay marriage is not in line with God’s word, and that homosexuality is not normal and should be kept out of the public education system.

In 2008 Stephen’s brother Alec criticised Stephen’s views in an interview with The Advocate, saying: “Well, in the modern political world, people like that – whether or not I’m related to them – only help us raise money. They want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family – that’s their only argument. You can ban gay marriage, but if you’re going to make it fair, then you have to ban marriage for everybody else who won’t produce children. But they just single out groups of people that they hate.”

Born again Christians become born again out of the need for self-righteous purity. The irony being that in acquiring such a 'purity', their words, deeds & relationships become filthy. Beat his daughters' ass if she'd ever work in a strip club. Filthy.

Filthy. i knew this head of a born again christian church who kept trying to cure the lesbian sister of one of his members. during that time he was shagging that same member (the married brother of the lesbian girl). wish stephen baldwin would also be against and speak out against wife beating....

If I recall right Baldwin played a gay character a number of years ago. 1994. "threesome" with a sub title "One girl. Two guys. Three possibilities" He did not have a problem then. The whole church brainwash thing is getting to me. The Movie Review from IMDB: "the chemistry between the characters on screen is amazing. The realiztation of homosexuality is touching, and also, the fond descriptions that eddy gives throughout the movie is so sweet, verging on bittersweet towards the end. But while i go on about its senitmentality, i have not even begun to express the blatant exploration of sexuality and the funny ways in which all the characters can pull them off. You'll never look at garden gnomes in the same way i can tell you. The ending is so inexplicably satisfying that the only words the need to express after watching this monumental summarization of 90's sexuality is "Let's go back to college!"" Pity. He is only an Actor and his crowning glory is this film. I smell Tom Cruise.....

A Christian Fundamentalist is still a Christian Fundamentalist irrespective of who his brothers may be or what he does for a living.
