SC evangelical pastors slam Romney for "homophilia"

Rev. Huey Mills, an influential evangelical pastor in South Carolina, has released a statement backing Rick Santorum and declaring Mitt Romney to be "hopelessly left-wing on homosexuality." "In obedience to the Judeo-Christian Scriptures," Mills wrote, "most South Carolinans and I have a sane and healthy homophobia, while Mitt Romney has a very bad case of homophilia; the man very clearly endorses dangerous, unhealthy homosexual conduct."
