From our buds over at SPLC:

Another Anti-Gay Activist Warns About Gays in the TSA

Just when it seemed the controversy over high-tech body scanners and “enhanced” pat-down procedures at airports couldn’t get weirder, along comes Eugene Delgaudio, a Loudoun County, Va., lawmaker who claims federal transportation officials were motivated to implement the new procedures by the “homosexual agenda,” not concerns about terrorism.

Delgaudio, a Republican elected to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in 1999 and re-elected twice, made that and other comments Nov. 20 in a widely distributed email he sent in his capacity as president of the conservative non-profit group Public Advocate of the United States. Calling the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) non-discrimination hiring policy “the federal employee’s version of the Gay Bill of Special Rights,” Delgaudio warned that “the next TSA official that gives you an enhanced pat-down could be a practicing homosexual secretly getting pleasure from your submission.”

Check it out. There isn't a paragraph that doesn't make me laugh helplessly and holler "WTF?!?" simultaneously...

amazedly,

1. What a dumbass....on so many levels. This is so pathetic it's
embarrassing. It's no wonder so many parts of the world don't want to have anything to do with American democracy. If loons like this are considered electable, you really have to wonder.

2. The next lawmaker who repeats this hysterical BS...
...could be a practicing conservative secretly profiting from his party's mission.
