14 Of The Worst Anti-LGBT Villains Of 2014

2014 was, without a doubt, a milestone year for mainstream lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights.

However, that doesn't mean that the usual anti-queer cast of characters weren't actively working against our movement -- from world leaders to reality TV stars.

As we continue to make progress to better the lives of the LGBT community, it's important to remain aware of those who are still trying to deny full rights and citizenry to queer individuals. Let's take a look back at 14 of the worst anti-LGBT villains of the past year.

IMO they do great work for the GLBT community by showing people who would otherwise never see it just how repulsive anti-GLBT bigotry is.
