Here\u2019s one of the most egregious cases of homophobia that we\u2019ve seen in a while.\u00a0 It came from school board member Clint McCance of\u00a0the Midland School District in Arkansas.\u00a0 It\u2019s his reaction to the No Hate campaign last week<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSeriously they want me to wear purple because five queers committed suicide. The only way I\u2019m wearin\u2019 it for them is if they all commit suicide,\u201d McCance said, in one of the most ugly outbursts in recent memory. \u201cI can\u2019t believe the people of this world have gotten this stupid. We are honoring the fact that they sinned and killed themselves because of their sin.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
A school board member:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
No because being a fag doesn\u2019t give you the right to ruin the rest of our lives. If you get easily offended by being called a fag then dont tell anyone you are a fag. Keep that shit to yourself. I dont care how people decide to live their lives. They dont bother me if they keep it to thereselves. It pisses me off though that we make a special purple fag day for them. I like that fags cant procreate. I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die. If you arent against it, you might as well be for it\u2026<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
A lot of sites are ignoring the next quote.\u00a0 He\u2019s also a Christian:<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
I would disown my kids they were gay. They will not be welcome at my home or in my vicinity. I will absolutely run them off. Of course my kids will know better. My kids will have solid christian beliefs. See it infects everyone.<\/span><\/div>\n
