By Alex Bollinger · Tuesday, February 12, 2019
West Virginia delegate Eric Porterfield appeared on WVVA, an NBC affiliate, to talk about homophobic comments he made last week, where he said that LGBTQ people are a modern day version of the Ku Klux Klan.
He wore a red MAGA cap along with a shirt and tie during the interview.
The reporter asked him what he would do if his son or daughter came out as gay.
Well, I would dress my daughter first, as I would take her for a pedicure, Id take her to get her nails done, and see if she could swim, Porterfield said, smiling.
If it was my son, I would probably take him hunting, I would take him fishing, then Id see if he could swim, Porterfield, still smiling.

(38,421 posts)...The "FUCKING IDIOTS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA"...FIAA..for short, wants you to know that we as an association want to have nothing to do with any sort or kind of Republicans..
...It is our belief that just because we often do not think correctly or clearly..for whatever reasons that make us idiots...that we under..no circumstances or possible events want to ever be identified with the stupid fools in the Republican Party. The Republican Party has soured our name on many occasions, and we totally resent their lack of sensitivity to our situation. Therefore we are taking a strong stand against the Republican Party because of there special level of "STUPIDITY FAR BEYOND US"...
thank you...

My eye bleach is already opened.
I guessing this man considers himself a good Christian, too. Because certainly this is what Jesus of Nazareth would suggest: drown all your children; protect your guns and exterminate all abortionists, gay people and brown-skinned immigrants.

this? Things are pretty bad at home with living on the street is a better option. Listening to this disgusting person helps me understand why kids make that choice.

(3,290 posts)persons psyche to be rejected by their parents for being who they are. That is child abuse of a terrible sort. The very people that gave them life now reject them. And unfortunately to say, much of it is religion driven and the religious leaders responsible for it simply don't care and even seem to push that mindset.
