Republican Larry Brown calls gays "queers" and "fruitloops".


Dirty horrible bigot should be forced to quit.

Rep. Larry Brown is in hot water over a “fruitloops” e-mail.
A gay rights group is asking people to flood a North Carolina state representative’s office with cereal after the Republican referred to gays as “queers” and “fruitloops” in an e-mail to other lawmakers.

Rep. Larry Brown, a Republican, was replying to an e-mail that state House Minority Leader Paul Stam sent to members of his caucus. That message, dated September 27, discussed Democratic House Speaker Joe Hackney receiving an award from Equality NC, according to Hackney spokesman Bill Holmes.

The e-mail string, which Holmes provided to CNN, had about 60 recipients. Brown’s response consisted of two sentences: “I hope all the queers are thrilled to see him . I’m sure there will be a couple of legislative fruitloops there in the audience.”

This is the worst - this nasty bigot is uncontested.

10. Still not as bad as that "shoot the queers" judge about 20 years ago
Yep, he actually said that live on the radio. Got forced off the bench soon afterwards, IIRC.

12. It's amazing how these guys can be so openinly nasty about gay people
Edited on Thu Oct-07-10 10:22 PM by HEyHEY
BUt Sanchez makes comments or Helen Thomas makes comments and both are forced to quite. I'm not saying that what they said was right or anything, but at least not so off the charts that the left wing wasn't united in their disgust.

Yet, this guy can say these things and hardly anyone gives a shit.
