Sh*t Homophobic People Say



Sh*t Homophobic People Say: no spoofing necessary, 100% real commentary by antigay public figures.

Lambda Legal fights for the rights of LGBT people and people with HIV. Follow us on Twitter @lambdalegal and visit http://www.lambdalegal.org to learn more!


A look at some of the comments on Youtube's original post place will give you a bit more hope than these obviously brain-damaged people, some of whom make a living on promoting this kind of blatant bigotry.

This video is a "who's who" of homophobic bigotry. And the thing is, in addition to the few in this video, there are hundreds more offensive characters (many of whom are religious and political leaders) who have made public statements that could have also easily been included here.

Dubya, Maggie Gallagher, Brian Brown, Ruben Diaz, Sr., Pat Robertson, Steve Anderson, Fred Phelps, Jesse Helms, Peter Labarbera, Virginia Foxx, Rick Warren, Sally Kern, Mike Miller, Eugene Delgaudio, Jerry Falwell, Sarah Palin, John McCain, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, James Dobson, Paul Cameron, Harry Jackson, Larry Stickney, Carrie Prejean, Donald Trump, Beverly Lahaye, Cindy Jacobs, Wendy Wright, Janet Porter, Robert Jeffress, Michael Brown, Mat Staver, Jason Chaffetz, Trent Lott, James Inhofe, Mike Huckabee, Bill McCollum, Martin Ssempa, Scott Lively, Bob Vander Plaats, Anita Bryant...

...and that's just off the top of my head.

When does it end?

so little time.

I put this thread out there just to amplify the message of the Lambda Legal Defense people's message.

Our work in combating bigotry seems like it will be endless, at least while WE are alive.

Thanks for that list, by the way.
