Hunger striker against Utah marriage equality mulls move to Russia to avoid our gay Nazi ovens

[Katashi_itto]

The mind of Trestin Meacham, the put-upon Mormon who went on a hunger strike over Utah marriage equality, must be a very dark and frightening place. Meacham found his 15 minutes of fame last month by refusing to eat until Utah reinstated its ban on marriage equality. Apparently this bigot has found the spotlight addictive and has decided to outdo himself with a new Facebook rant that is so completely over the top and irrational it will serve as a shining beacon of delusional hatred for years to come.

"I'm seriously considering moving to Russia in a few years. They have far more economic freedom. And are the only developed nation that actually promotes and fights for traditional values. America has become one of the most oppressive countries on earth. Yes, it has really come to that, I'm considering leaving America for Russia to get away from a Marxist government. Oh how far we have fallen since I was a child. Only if Putin stays in power, because he is the only leader I've seen with the guts to stand up to homo-fascist movement. Anything would be better than what the gay movement is doing in America. If I stay here they will have me jailed and drudged for the rest of my life. They won't stop. I don't think you get how hard it is to be a Mormon in gay America. They simply will not let us breath. We are to their movement what the Jews were to the Nazis, and in time they will be trying to march us into ovens. And if you don't believe me, I have hundreds of message from them to back up that claim. You just don't get it. Try dealing with them for one day, like we do. It really is becoming like Nazi Germany for us. I know Russia has problems, I do, but it and the Muslim countries are about the only place to escape the homosexuals."

Wow, there's a lot to unpack in there. It takes a mighty feverish imagination to take our struggle to be treated as equal citizens of our free country and afforded all the rights it has to offer, and turn it into a pogrom against, well, anyone.

Something tells me the man hasn't traveled far beyond the borders of Utah or even his own backyard to declare with a straight face that America has turned into one of the most oppressive countries on earth. That he imagines Russia to be a free economic and religious utopia tells me the man couldn't find Russia on a globe.

2. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

The more I learn about Mormonism, the more creeped out I get.

3. Poor Bigot, he just can't tolerate some equality. Perhaps he might prefer Uganda. n/t

4. I've heard the same here at DU

"America has become one of the most oppressive countries on earth."

5. In some ways that is true, just not in the way this idiot believes.

6. Of course, as the Daily Kos article points out, Mormons are about as welcome in Putin's Russia

As homosexuals are.

I would love to see those "hundreds of messages", he claims to have.

And anyone who says that the US is Marxist clearly is wholly ignorant of Marxism. But then, this yahoo is obviously both stupid and ignorant.

7. Why do some DUers drag anti gay nutter material here regularly?

This is less 'demons and devils' than the standard recently popular clerical materials, but is just another ranting, raving hate mongering religious nut and I'm not sure what the message is supposed to be when this shite is hung on the DU mantel and polished again and again.
We all know that many straight religious folks are homophobic bigots, it is not news to LGBT people, and unless the Straight Community intends to start refusing to promote and celebrate any anti gay figures this sort of thing is really not very useful. So you are all 'against' the Mormon homophobe but 'for' the other one. Big whoop.
