Today from the loony file.
A tea party leader and former Baptist pastor who believes that AIDS is Gods 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, dont do the pro-gay thing, why dont 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 youve explored that, talked to anyone about it.
The former Baptist pastor opined that homosexuality much more likely leads to AIDS than smoking leads to cancer. And yet the entire nation has rejected smoking, billions of dollars are put into a trust fund to help cancer victims and the tobacco industry was held accountable for that.
