-Skippy

“The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad.

“Check. Women?”
-Skippy

“I listen to feminists and all these radical gals - most of them are failures. They've blown it. Some of them have been married, but they married some Casper Milquetoast who asked permission to go to the bathroom. These women just need a man in the house. That's all they need. Most of the feminists need a man to tell them what time of day it is and to lead them home. And they blew it and they're mad at all men. Feminists hate men. They're sexist. They hate men - that's their problem.”
-Rev. Jerry Falwell

“Check. Homosexuals?”

-Rev. Jerry Falwell

-Jerry Falwell quoted in People for the American Way's, "Hostile Climate," 1997, p.15
