In the audio, reported by the Pensacola News Journal, Hill is asked at a recent meeting with a Pensacola-based group called Women for Responsible Legislation, In 1 Corinthians, it says that a man who has an affair with another man will be put to death.

It says that in the Old Testament, too, Hill says on the recording.

Can you introduce legislation? another man asks.

Laughter follows, and Hill can be heard chuckling and responding, I wonder how that would go over?

Hill followed by saying being gay is a behavior, and its a choice, according to further audio reported by The New Civil Rights Movement website, rejecting protections for LGBT people. You can say, But I was born that way. OK, well, fine, but nobodys forcing you to engage in that relationship, even if you were born that way.

The meeting was the same one in which Hill said God spoke to me to introduce a bill next year banning all abortion in Florida without any exceptions for rape, incest, or the womans health, like what we saw passed in Alabama."
