“Don’t you come into the Pennsylvania Capitol and start
talking about equal rights for gays, you damn fudge packer. We go by
God’s law here in Pennsylvania, and God’s law does
not provide equal rights for homosexuals. Most everyone else—sure.
But not you gays. And not the victims of domestic violence, either because
they usually deserve the beatings they deserve.”


State Rep. Daryl Metcalf (R-Butler), who also publicly opposed domestic violence awareness month in the state.
