Bryan Fischer wants smart and articulate gay conservative editor fired for being dangerous to the causeResponding to news that a popular editor at the conservative Townhall website came out as gay earlier this week, Christian commentator Bryan Fischer called for the firing of the young man saying that he was smart and articulate and therefore dangerous to the conservative cause.
In an interview with Buzzfeed, Townhall Political Editor Guy Benson addressed his sexuality after writing in his upcoming book: Guy here. So, Im gay.
Benson explained that, despite being gay, he feels he falls in line with most conservatives when it comes to LGBT issues. Im for civil marriage, Im for nondiscrimination laws but I think there should be broad carve-outs for religious organizations, in particular, and narrow carve-outs for closely held businesses that serve the wedding industry, Benson explained.
This wasnt good enough for Fischer who wrote on his American Family Association blog, Benson is young, smart, and articulate and often appears on Fox News as a pundit on all manner of political issues. This makes him particularly dangerous to the conservative cause.

(5,815 posts)I want gay Republicans to come out. I want everyone to come out. I want the world to see that LGBTers are from every race, religion, ideology, country, and culture in the world. I want people to know that we're everyone and we're everywhere.
He came out. Good for him. That helps us, even if his politics do not. LGBTers who bitch and moan about it are less than useless to me. They're a calcified detriment to progress, IMO. Pisses me off.
Annnyway. Fischer is an asshat. He's like the new Peter LaBarbera. Kind of beclowns himself every time he speaks.
