Shameful political pandering for bigoted votes makes me sick.

And here's why:

McCance wrote the following message on his Facebook page: “Seriously they want me to wear purple because five queers killed themselves. The only way im wearin it for them is if they all commit suicide. I cant believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed thereselves because of their sin. REALLY PEOPLE.”

Initially, six people “liked” McCance’s message. He also received supportive comments, though some challenged his statement. A commenter wrote, “Because hatred is always right.” That led McCance to write, “No because being a fag doesn’t give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it.”<...>

“I would disown my kids they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone.”

First off, this type of person will never vote DEM. Second it gives people a platform to spew their vitriolic hate. Third it allows for a below the surface bigotry to continue in our politics.

I would never ever tell a LGBT to give up on their "pet issue", can you believe people call it that, or tell them there are more important things to be concerned about, or that their rights aren't the only thing to fight for. When I hear that type of hyperbole, it is just as offensive to me as when I read the above homophobic bigotry. I stand 100% with the LGBT community, and I don't care if you make Obama look bad to get your rights. I will not lend my voice to those who, whether they know it or not, are lending credence to the type of rubbish coming from that man who sits on a school board.

1. Here's Mr. School Board VP [Question: WHO elected this asshole?]

I think he's protesting a tad too much...

2. McCance is a hatemonger and wrong, wrong, wrong.

He obviously doesn't understand biology for starters. Purple is a beautiful color-as is every color in the rainbow (flag). :kick: & Rec.
