Antigay politician Newt Gingrich will headline gay Republican fundraiser
Newt Gingrich may be one of Americas most vehement anti-LGBT politicians, but that hasnt stopped the Log Cabin Republicans from embracing him. The noted homophobe will headline a September fundraiser for the organization of gay Republicans.
The former House Speaker was a driving force behind the proposed constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage nationwide in the early 2000s, supported the militarys discriminatory Dont Ask Dont Tell policy and called for its reimplementation after it was discarded, and wanted to investigate the supposed persecution of Christian anti-LGBT activists.
Gingrich has claimed that a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, [and] is prepared to use harassment. Hes called same-sex marriage a perfect example of what I mean by the rise of paganism. And he secretly funneled over $200,000 to the right wing hate group American Family Association to help their fight to recall the Iowa Supreme Court judges who ruled in favor of marriage equality.
So who better to headline an event for self-loathing LGBT people? Who better embodies the Spirit of Lincoln than they guy who called President Obama a Kenyan?
