My sister, the one with a wife, is quite upset with the comment from the vice nasty guy saying he “wants to hang” all gay people.
The vice nasty guy does have a long history of opposing our rights – voting for a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, voting against equal protection and hate crimes, voting against repeal of the ban of gays in the military, and promoting the dangerous and ineffective ex-gay conversion therapy. But the comment wasn’t from him. He’s enough of a politician to know not to say such a thing in public. It was from his boss the nasty guy joking that his veep wanted to kill us. This is funny?
That “joke” came close to the same time as a flier appeared around Cleveland State University at the time of the opening of its new LGBT community center. The flier shows a man with a noose around his neck, quotes suicide rates of LGBT people, and says “Follow your fellow faggots” – yes, urging us to kill ourselves.
The nasty guy by his comments and the vice nasty guy by his actions are encouraging these attacks on us. We do not see this as a joke.
