He equated gay people with bestiality and terrorism. How is this not hateful bigotry? And, no, I am not in any way obligated to respect someone’s bigoted opinion. I’m really not.
The thing is, gay people have had to deal with this sort of “low level” hatred (AND WORSE) their entire lives, for decades – constantly being told they are going to hell, they are awful people, THEY ARE JUST LIKE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SEX WITH ANIMALS. That’s just wrong, and I really, truly do not understand why you are defending this crap.
Bigotry is a cancer. It hurts individuals and it hurts society as a whole. It is not okay.
His views on African Americans regarding the Jim Crow laws are also pretty shitty and, well, no surprise: Racist as hell. And that’s not okay either. At all. There is no defending this shit.
