Ask questions that he has to provide answers for. What is the gay agenda? What would gay people do to your kids that you're afraid of? Why do you feel it's okay to call people such a hurtful name? What makes you think it's okay to say those things to me? Make him squirm. Do not accept non-answers.

If he decides to keep on after that--lather, rinse, repeat.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
