Religious right declares 'defiant homosexual' Mayor Pete is 'biggest threat' in presidential race

And thus it starts.

Religious right declares ‘defiant homosexual’ Mayor Pete is ‘biggest threat’ in presidential race
By Alex Bollinger ·
Monday, April 15, 2019


A prominent Christian conservative has said that South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the “biggest threat to religious liberty in history.”

Bryan Fischer is the Director of Issues Analysis for the SPLC designated anti-LGBTQ hate group American Family Association.

In a column on the far-right website OneNewsNow, he calls Buttigieg “an open and defiant homosexual” and says that it makes sense to reject him for his “sexual proclivities” – comparing being gay to being Donald Trump.

“We can certainly understand the left’s condemnation of President Trump for his sexual romps with porn stars 12 or 13 years ago,” Fischer writes. “This means, of course, that unless they are profoundly hypocritical, [progressives] will be able to understand our legitimate concerns about Buttigieg’s aberrant sexual conduct and what it means for his qualifications to become the leader of the Free World.”


Fischer is quite clear that his problem is with Buttigieg’s sexual orientation, not just his policies, but he also goes after his policies.

What Mayor Pete is, he is probably the biggest threat to Asshole's re-election chances in 2020, and that's why the right wing is gearing up with their idiocy against him because they're scared shitless of Mayor Pete and all the momentum he has going for him right now. Fucking idiots.

It was only a matter of time.

I recently saw a lame article by a gay black Log Cabin Republican defending Pence as someone free of anti-gay bias. I forgot to write and ask if he was also selling oceanfront property in Wyoming.

See, how it is, is you're a complete hypocrite who always backs the ungody, satanic tRump. While saying how holy you are for condemning aberrant sex. But now you'll bring up tRump's aberrant sex, though not to condemn tRump, just to attack someone who isn't a nazi. Never heard one peep from you about how disqualifyingly un-godly that fat orange crooked nazi is, despite all the manifest evidence.

We don't try to control others' sex lives in the name of 'god', you do. It's your schtick. But you don't perform your usual schtick the one time it would be justified, to attack the polygamous, adulterous lecher who's also an evil big nazi.

Somehow, you think that means you can say WE'RE the hypocrites. Lying evil nazi bircher that you are.
