Said by a fundy in an editorial cartoon, but this guy is an evangelical, so he no doubt says the same thing.
I pointed out earlier today how this same clown also calls gays "mercenaries" who are into gay sex only for the money.

Global distribution and prevalence
More than 1.5 billion people, or 24% of the world's population are infected with soil-transmitted helminth infections worldwide. Infections are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical areas, with the greatest numbers occurring in sub-Saharan Africa, the Americas, China and east Asia.
Over 270 million preschool-age children and over 600 million school-age children live in areas where these parasites are intensively transmitted, and are in need of treatment and preventive interventions.

So by his reasoning, 24% of the world is gay. I'd say he'd better get himself tested. Or just mind his own business.
And those who in that country and our own country who think going after gays is a smart thing to do, need to recall that discrimnation never stops with just one group.
It eventually leads to everyone being under the gun.
