Samuel Wurzelbacher, dubbed "Joe the Plumber," who had his 15 minutes during the presidential campaign last year, said he believes gays are "queer" and won't allow them near his children. Is this guy for real?
From The Associated Press:
Wurzelbacher said the decision about whether to allow same-sex couples to marry should be left to states.
"People don't understand the dictionary — it's called queer," Wurzelbacher told Christianity Today in an interview published this week. "Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do — what man and woman are for."
He added, "I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they're people, and they're going to do their thing."
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization based in Washington, dismissed Wurzelbacher's comments.
"It would matter if Joe the Plumber mattered," Solmonese said. "One thing among many things we learned in the 2008 campaign is that he doesn't."
Well, Mr. Wurzelbacher had better lock up his children. The cashier that rings up their purchases at the local Wal-Mart might be gay or maybe their family doctor is, maybe the mailman is, or the kids' football coach. Omigosh - maybe they have a family member who is... shhh... gay?! Does he think "gay" is contagious? Or is he implying someone who is homosexual would somehow harm his children? They're evil? I'm not quite sure what he is implying.
Do you think close-minded adults raise close-minded children?
