A Florida man spewed anti-LGBTQ insults so offensive at a public meeting a Republican shut him down [View all]

During a public testimony hearing, an anti-LGBTQ rant from a Florida man was so offensive that a Republican lawmaker had to shut him down.

Greg Pound—who has made a name for himself by attending public hearings to tout conspiracy theories and spew offensive language—was attempting to testify before the Florida House Appropriations Committee about a controversial school voucher program that provided funding to many anti-LGBTQ Christian schools.

Pound opened his testimony by claiming that LGBTQ people are pedophiles.

“Just a real quick question on the alphabet there,” he said. “The L is for lesbians, the G is for gay, B is for bisexual, T is for transgender, Q is queer, and then P would be pedophile. Now, let me ask you this … where do these people get their children?”

BTW...the "hero" still voted for the voucher program. Amazing how some are offended by homophobia but still espouse it.
