Another anti-gay pundit caught showing his true face



Bob Vander Plaats of the group The FAMiLY Leader was another person who made GLAAD's Commentator Accountability Project (CAP) and this video by Think Progress demonstrates why.

And it's a video coming just in time, too. According to Think Progress:

The FAMiLY Leader and its president, Bob Vander Plaats, intend to hold a rally in the Iowa state Capitol tomorrow pressuring the state legislature to take up an amendment to the Iowa constitution defining marriage solely as between a man and a woman. Along with other groups including CatholicVote.org and the National Organization for marriage, the Leader has been promoting the policy change since the Iowa Supreme Court declared in 2009 that a state law prohibiting same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. In conjunction with the rally, the groups expect to deliver a petition with over 20,000 signatures supporting the amendment. The involvement of Vander Plaats in the event is especially noteworthy, as his extremism in Iowa state politics has increasingly driven even fellow Republicans and social conservatives to distance themselves from him.

Second hand gayness... My sister has two girls who like coming over and hanging out with me for a weekend. I have a pride flag curtain the size of 2/3 my front wall in my living room, both QAF and the L word DVD collection, and they openly watch shows with me with LGBT characters. Neither of them are gay. That's not even including going to pride every year. If the theory were true they'd be the gayest girls out there.

BTW they only see and know what QAF and the L word are, I don't watch them with them.

Figures an anti-gay pundit would also be one of those birther crackpots.

DL Foster is trumpeting this statement from Bill Keller: "Cooper, Maddow, DeGeneres, and the Media, are Responsible for the Death of Rutgers Student Tyler Clementi, not Dharun Ravi" (see http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/1254719217.html)

One of DL's groupies had this to say: "The emotional shove to commit suicide is the shame associated with the grossest sin among humans."
