Tea party leader proposes ‘class action lawsuit’ against ‘homosexuality’

A tea party leader and former Baptist pastor — who believes that AIDS is God’s judgement against LGBT people — this week proposed filing a “class action lawsuit” against “homosexuality.”

At a Tea Party Unity event on Thursday, LGBT activist Peter LaBarbera told group Chairman Rick Scarborough that Fox News should be pushed to cover “these wonderful stories of happy men and women who have left the homosexual lifestyle” like they covered African-American conservatives.

“We need to work on our conservative, alternate media and say, ‘Look, don’t do the pro-gay thing, why don’t you rather step out and support these ex-gays?’ We should encourage Fox News to tell their stories,” LaBarbera said. “Fox is now telling the stories of black conservatives because the other media is not doing that, we should all get on Fox and say, ‘Come on, tell these stories, these wonderful stories of happy men and women who have left the homosexual lifestyle.’” Scarborough, however, had a different plan for fighting what LaBarbera had called “the pro-gay thing.”

“Peter, the whole issue of a class action lawsuit, you and I have talked about this a little bit,” Scarborough pointed out. “I just wonder if you’ve explored that, talked to anyone about it.”

outlining the legal foundation for their lawsuit. I am not a lawyer, but a student enough of the law that it should make for VERY entertaining reading.

They go up to the Bartender and ask, "Is this the punch Line?"

Sorry, that's all I have. For some reason that's how I started to read the story. But yeah, WTF?

Who, exactly, would they be bringing suit against? And for what harms? What would be the damages or directives they would seek from the court? Would they like all of us homosexuals to pay them damages - each and everyone of us?

Would they actually seek to have to court rule homosexuality illegal and prohibit it? I thought the Supreme Court already weighed in on that issue.

He just needs to move to Russia. He and Vlad would get along great.

IT BURNS, IT BURNS.

Raw Story seems to have dropped the anti-. But for anyone with a stomach for it, the following link will provide a few years of LaBarbera observing from the great Pam Spaulding of Pam's House Blend. Many reasons to detest him, something for everyone, tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight.
