'Homosexuals like you in tight pants,' Jehovah's Witnesses leader says

[normtwofinger]

A member of the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses is being ridiculed and criticized by various alternative publications for a reported rant he made about certain tight-fitting pants and jackets...

Anthony Morris III’s speech was reportedly made to a meeting of the organization’s U.S. branch last Saturday, which reportedly had an audience of more than one million,...

Among the quotes Advocate.com points to from Morris’s speech:

"Worldly women … even some of our sisters now … what it is is this spanx, this skin-tight stuff they wear … when they exercise. They leave their home and they’re jogging in this stuff … is that appropriate? To wear skin-tight spanx, or whatever they call it? It’s not modest … It’s really not appropriate….

“For these young fellas … it’s the metrosexual look … Metrosexual — that’s the tight suit jacket and the tight pants … and they are tight, I mean tight, all the way down to the ankles and that is not modest, brothers …

“This is a fact. The homosexuals that are designing these clothes — they like you in tight pants. That’s who likes it — not spiritual people.”

To be fair, everyone likes me in tight pants.

[bluejays]

The super tight pants thing simply looks awful. Just as much the waiting-for-the-flood pants exposing the geeky socks. This guy is out to lunch, but I'm guessing he knows style.

[normtwofinger]

What gets me is that he was speaking to 1 million of his followers and all he can talk about is how to dress? How about something a little more helpful.

And to blame this fashion trend on the LGBT is completely offensive and derogatory.

[MRCboicgy]

I'm more offended by the sweatpants (don't call them joggers, they are sweatpants) + boots look right now.

That's truly the work of Satan

Can't we put the JW's back in work camps?

Somebody tell Prince. He's a flaming JW.

Why does anyone care what the leader of a crackpot religion says, other than for comedic value?

[Northendzone]

for the record, it is completely correct that "our sisters" are leaving their homes in spanx (and i am assuming he is also against lululemon and otehr yoga type wear) and whatnot.....

List of Jehova's Witnesses I would listen to:

Prince.

That is all.

Or am I doing this wrong?

I think you answered your own question there.

[Righteous1]

Hahahaha does this means jehovas witness is a gain free zone??

[DuffMan]

If I am a male and I like girls wearing them tight yoga pants, does that make me a homosexual? or am I a lesbian trapped in a mans body?
