'GOP Congressman gives support to Uganda's 'Kill the Gays' bill' & other Thur afternoon news briefs

Michigan Rep Tim Walberg is facing a backlash after speaking in favor of Uganda's 'Kill The Gays' bill.


Republican Faces Backlash for Praising Plan to Kill Gay People​ -The simple fact that this story isn't getting more coverage says it all about how the media doesn't give a damn about LGBTQ people. I thought it was bad when they glossed over Trump's ill treatment of us. This is worse:

"Though the rest of the world is pushing back on you...though there are other major countries that are trying to get into you and ultimately change you, stand firm. Stand firm," (Michigan Rep Tim) Walberg said about Uganda's anti-homosexuality law while delivering a speech at Uganda's National Prayer Breakfast.

All Republicans Are Bastards.

And don't tell me "Oh, but Anon, there's good Republicans out there!" No such fucking thing. Even our "enlightened" GOP delegation in GOP lined right behind Mike Johnson for speaker. They will never, ever help the queer community. Not now. Not ever.

Any queer person who votes for these people is a quisling and a traitor to their people.

Update: I meant to say "GOP delegation from New York", not "GOP delegation in GOP". Anger and proofreading don't mix very well ^^;

Basically, the GOP delegation from New York tends to err on the side of LGB (but less so on the T and Q), but doesn't always do so. Case in point: voting in lockstep with MiKKKe Johnson.
