Herman Cain’s website compares LGBT activists to Star Trek’s totalitarian race the Borg

The top writer on former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain’s website compared the LGBT rights movement to the totalitarian race the Borg from the TV science fiction series “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

Right Wing Watch reported that in a column on Friday, CainTV.com’s editor in chief Dan Calabrese wrote, “You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.”

The LGBT rights movement, Calabrese said, “is evil, not because homosexuality is a ‘worse sin’ than other sins, but because its champions are trying to not only silence but in many cases destroy those who disagree with them.”

He was referring to the ouster of Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, who resigned his position just days after taking the job. Eich donated to the effort to pass Proposition 8, the California law that denied same-sex couples in the state the right to marry.

Note to Herb:

1. That's pretty funny

since it's the right wing who are trying to take rights away from people.

3. Projection. And sheer paranoia too, I suppose.

Not only are they the ones taking rights away from people, they're also the ones quaking at imaginary monsters under the bed.

2. while the Borg did definitely turn Picard into a slinky nightwalker, this is pure Pakled

4. I will refrain

from bringing up the multitude of Janeway/Seven fan fictions.

Okay. I brought it up.

They are pretty much the most interesting fan fiction couple since X&G.

5. Ah, fuck you, Herman Cain.

I'm not LGBT myself, to be honest, but it's not hard to see: LGBT people just want to be accepted as equals. They just want to be recognized as people like everyone else.
What is so hard to see about that for you asshole cons?!?!?
