Politician caught using gay slur refuses to apologize, accuses critics of attacking his religion
A local politician from Minnesota who has been exposed as a bigot says hes allowed to be homophobic because his religion says so, and anyone who feels otherwise is attacking his faith.
Kassim Busuri is a City Council member from St. Paul, Minnesota. Last Wednesday, the council approved a resolution recognizing June as LGBTQ Pride Month. The resolution was sponsored by every council member except Busuri.
Busuri later said the reason he didnt sponsor it was because he only learned about it minutes before it was presented to the council, and he didnt have enough time to read it over.
That excuse might have gotten him out of the dog house. Until a bunch of old homophobic social media posts written by Busuri surfaced a few hours later.
