These are some of the worst people. It's a mistake to just let them walk around, take on positions of power, and sleep soundly at night. Someone who espouses such horrible beliefs should be banished from polite society, at the very least.
They're not even secret about it. They have websites. With their names, faces, and where they go to church on sunday.
Completely agree. These people wish harm on gay people, for the sole reason of them being gay? Something that literally doesn't hurt anyone. Then I wish harm on these people. I want them to feel pain, and I want them to suffer.
When my bf and I first got together, we went out for lunch with his high school best friend and his friend's son, who was a toddler. The friend started to talk shit about gay people, and I said, "Don't say things like that in front of your son. What if he turns out to be gay?" And he said, "If he's gay, I'll kill him and start over." I was like, wtf.
I hope that kid eclipses his dad in every way possible
He wouldn't have to try hard, IMO.
