"...Homosexuality is not a culture. Homosexuality is a sexual preference, and sexual preferences, I believe, do not need to be discussed in our schools." -Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson

Robinson made his comments in a speech released last week in which he condemned sexualized pro-LGBT propaganda in school curriculums.

"There's no reason anybody anywhere in America should be telling any child about transgenderism, homosexuality, any of that filth," he said in June at Asbury Baptist Church. "And yes, I called it filth. And if you don't like it that I called it filth, come see me, and I'll explain it to you."

"It's time for us to stop letting these children be abused at these schools, and it's not going to happen till the people of God stand up and demand different," he added.

Robinson, a Born-Again Christian and the first African-American lieutenant governor of North Carolina, also blasted the Marxist, pro-LGBT Black Lives Matter movement.

"Black lives do not matter to Black Lives Matter," he said. "You know how I know that? Because if they did, you know where they would be instead of being at the police station? They would be down there at the gang hangout, at the drug dealer's house, burning that down."

"They'd be down at the abortion clinic burning that down if Black lives really mattered," Robinson said.

Democrats and LGBT activists immediately called for the lieutenant governor's resignation after Right Wing Watch, an advocacy group with ties to George Soros, released a recording of his speech Wednesday.

North Carolina Democrat Gov. Roy Cooper criticized Robinson's comments as "abhorrent," according to the Raleigh News & Observer, echoing the Biden administration, which similarly attacked his defense of traditional Christian morality as "repugnant and offensive."

Cooper added Wednesday that he thought it would be "appropriate" for Robinson to step down.

Lt. Gov. Robinson has steadfastly refused to apologize or resign, however, telling local news last week that "it is time for parents in this state to take a strong stand for their children."

"We will not be intimidated. We will not back down. We will not change our language," he said in an interview with WRAL. "The language I used, I am not ashamed of it. I will use it in the future because, again, it is time for parents in this state to take a strong stand for their children."

Gov. Cooper's criticism "makes no difference whatsoever," Robinson continued. "I am tired of folks on the right being demonized for our speech while folks on the left burn, beat, rob, loot—take over entire cities and get a pass"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
