Buttars: Gays 'greatest threat to America'
He called the gay-rights movement "probably the greatest threat to America," likened gay activists to Muslim radicals and dubbed same-sex relationships "abominations."

Now Sen. Chris Buttars finds himself in a familiar place: under fire amid demands he step down...........

Once again Utah shows the world the homophobic paranoia that is rampant in the Utah Legislature. And they just keep re-electing this clown.

A side note on Reed Cowan, who conducted the interview, can be found here:

11. definite closet case . . . probably got teased about the name . . .
all through jr. high and high school, which caused him to retreat even further into his "safe space" . . . now he's so far in that he can't see the exit, and he's taking out his frustration and anger on others . . . sad, but all too common . . .

3. Clearly another case of Republic projection.
Salt Lake City is a Mecca for rent boys.

5. Salt Lake City proper is a very diverse city.
It is when you get to the burbs and beyond that you find the most single-minded mentality.

They say they are not swayed by what Brother so and so tells them in Church, but you know that is bull. When you complain about the Church vs State issue, they repeat their very famous slogan--"If you don't like it, then leave". It is their Repub talking point. Case closed.

9. Oh Noes!! The Gays has got nukes!!
They also put the economy in the tank, started the Iraq war and destroyed the WTT.

Some days I feel like I should apologize for being heterosexual. This is one of them.
