Sen.Jim DeMint fears a gay president

[ccharles000]

In a recent interview, South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint said the following:

“Marriage is a religious institution. The federal government has no business redefining what it is,” DeMint says. This is one issue where he doesn’t support states’ rights; state government shouldn’t have the right to permit gay marriage: “Governments should not be in the business of promoting a behavior that’s proven to be destructive to our society.”

He cringes at the notion of a gay or lesbian president: “It would be bothersome to me just personally because I consider it immoral.”

Granted it wasn't the only wild thing DeMint said in the interview but that nugget of nuttiness particularly stands out.

I wish the writer, Albert R. Hunt, had allowed DeMint to go into detail about this because it sounds like DeMint was implying that Paul Cameronesque nonsense about "homosexuality being a deadly lifestyle."

I would have loved for him to be nailed for that lie.

Really though, I have to give DeMint points for consistency. He has never particulary like lgbt people.

3. I hope we have a gay or lesbian President in DeMint's lifetime.

Just so he goes insane.

4. Funny how the persecution of gays is just about the highest priority

for Republicans but protections for them are at the bottom of the Democrats list... Be nice if a fucking Dem came out and told DeMInt to go fuck himself.

9. I wonder if he's curious about Jeff Gannon's overnight White House visits

when there were no official press events.

And don't forget that Bush Sr. was involved in a gay prostitute scandal when he was Reagan's VP.

10. Good. That makes me even more hopeful that we have a gay president in my lifetime.

11. I just fear Jim DeMint.

A gay president would be fab!

Actually some historians think we may have already had one: James Buchanan.
