Unswervingly creepy former Colorado state congressman Gordon Klingenschmitt is on another one of his tangents: Now he’s quite certain demons helped executive-produce the upcoming live-action Beauty and the Beast film.
Their endgame: Turn the innocent children into homosexuals.

Disney has faced a certain amount of heat from religious zealots since it became known that there’d be a gay character in the film.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Klingenschmitt is upset Le Fou is seen flagrantly dancing with another man in the film, and he made these feelings known during a recent broadcast of his talk show, Pray In Jesus’ Name.
“Demonic spirits,” he says, are using BATB to “recruit children into sin.”
As Right Wing Watch reports, the evangelical talking head recommended “a boycott of the movie”:
“I recommend that Christian parents avoid having their children recruited into the homosexual agenda.
Behind the human actors, the Disney Corporation and the owners thereof are intentionally promoting sin to children. When we discern through the moral lens of human interaction with the demonic spirits, pride is a demonic spirit. Sexual immortality is demonic, but what about pride?
Homosexuals proudly marching in the streets… pride is the sin of arrogance, thinking that you’re smarter than God, your creator. If God made you male and female, but you want to be confused and celebrate the sin of being sexually immoral, there is a demonic spirit behind that.
This all culminated in a fiery prayer to “stop the recruiting of our children into the sinful lifestyle of homosexuality.”
“Father,” he begged, “protect America from using cartoons to recruit children into sin.”
His prayers have been answered, as Beauty and the Beast is live-action.

And remember, people exactly like this are who Log Cabin support and who they say we should talk to.

Seriously think the gay community could use some baddass assassin’s to start taking these pieces of human garbage out permanently.

“Beauty and the Beast” is set to have one of – if not the – largest March openings of any film ever, and grosses are expected to set records.
Encourage these religious bigots to keep trashing films as it’s a proven money maker.
DCguy
Yeah, the “family values” right wingers are FURIOUS that Beauty and the Beast has the “un-family” bad manners of having a gay character.
Apparently it’s themes of kidnapping, Holding somebody in servitude, Bestiality and Stockholm Syndrome are all fine with them.
omacdonald
Not to mention the theme of magic. Their Bible forbids the use of magic. So no card tricks for these guys.

These are the same type of people Dutch voters kept out of power. Green Party had the biggest gain. Americans keep foolishly voting republican. Maybe if we had a truly parliamentary representative democracy like Holland we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Giancarlo85
By the way the Progressive CDA and Green Party (led by the young Jesse Klaver – wait for his article here as he looks like Justin Trudeau), combined had nearly double the seats as the far right.
But that is too democratic for America.
mhoffman953
He must share the same belief that many Muslim countries have because in many Muslim majority countries, they either cut the gay scene entirely or won’t be showing the movie because of the gay scene: https://www.apnews.com/25ccb88b4c3b4184a67087380b61585b

Christians in America do it all the time.
natekerchel
This is a ‘belief’? No. This is a dyed in the wool, foaming at the mouth , uneducated right wing numbskull living in some strange place all by himself. People like him don’t have ‘beliefs’ – they have hate filled rants based on some book written by a bunch of deluded old men. I find it oddly amusing that so many of them end up in sleazy motel rooms with young boys/girls/drugs. The hypocrisy of this class of deluded people is staggering.
mhoffman953
@Giancarlo85 That is true that some extreme Christians do the same, but the left never defends them. They’ll instead defend Muslims who do the same thing based on the teachings of Mohammad (who was a pedophile). I’m basically saying both are in the wrong and we shouldn’t censor anything regardless of our opinion on it.
natekerchel
We would never censor you mhoffman – you make too good a case for us. Always defending the the most repulsive actions and characters, always defending the illegitimate occupier of the White House, always trying to justify racism and homophobia. You are worth your weight in gold to us my friend. No we would never censor you – nor Mo Bro – nor Mandrake. This trump triumvirate sum up the absurdity and heartlessness of the vile agenda set out by the usurper in the White House.
mhoffman953
@natekerchel Your reading comprehension must be lacking. No where in my comment did I defend the looney guy mentioned in this story. I compared his urging of people to not see the Beauty and Beast movie to the actions of Muslims who hate gays so much that they banned the movie from Muslim majority countries. You seem to want to overlook the fact that Muslim majority countries banned the film over the gay scene but instead go off on a tangent about Trump (he must be living rent free in your head if he’s all you think about).
natekerchel
It’s NOWHERE not ‘no where’ mhoffman – I certainly dont overlook Muslim attitudes – but as I keep pointing out to you trump lovers – deflecting from the actual story does not work with me. The story is not about ‘Muslim countries’ – it is about crazy right wing Americans – the very ones you always leap to defend and make excuses for. You cannot get away with in any way justifying his craziness by saying ‘ oh but Muslim countries do the same thing’. We are not in ‘Muslim countries’. I can assure you that I read every word of what you and your fellow minions type – the views expressed amuse me with their lack of finesse, understanding and ability to stick to the facts.
Giancarlo85
Hoffman is a Trump supporting idiot. I think its best we just ignore his rantings
Giancarlo85
The left doesn’t defend those Muslims engaging in extremism. We may defend poor refugees who are trying to flee a war zone because their family were killed, but we don’t defend extremists. You’re a lying loser, Hoffyboy. Trump is a pedophile by the way.

First of all, Klingenschmitt isn’t a congressman, he was a state representative for one two year term, starting in 2014. He ran for the state senate last year and lost. (In fact he was crushed in a landslide.) He holds no office now. More to the point, though, he’s been sucking batcrap off cave walls crazy for many, many years. He’s accused just about everybody of trying to convert America’s children to homosexuality for years. He’s also gets a woody for demonic possession because anyone who doesn’t agree with him he says is possessed by a demon. Bottom line: Klingenschmitt is so far out there, the tin foil helmet crowd think he’s nuts.
DMRX
What? A Queerty writer got easily-findable facts wrong just because they copy/pasted a story without verifying it?
I’m shocked.
He BGB
Somebody please tell me what awful things Jesus said about gay people! I’m waiting…..
pierscik
What’s his beef about ‘pride’? Presumably he’s proud of being what he calls a ‘Christian’ (despite being filled with un’christian’ hate and bigotry… Isn’t he ‘proud’ of being an American ? ‘Proud’ of spewing forth all this nonsense and garbage… He’s possessed of a mean spirit rather than a demonic one.
natekerchel
P.S. mhoffman – the latest claim by your Secretary of Propaganda and Alternative Facts Spicer regarding wiretapping of the usurper by the British GCHQ is yet another outright lie spread to deflect attention from the original lie about it being done by USA intelligence sources. But the fact that even republican don’t believe this meant that the lie had to be transferred to an outside source – in this case GCHQ. The have strongly denied this – normally they never comment on these things – but on this occasion are so outraged by the claim that they actually spoke out. What spin can you put on this one mhoffman?
Giancarlo85
He won’t answer you. He is too ignorant. My favorite recent article is one linking Trump to the Azerbaijani family known as the Mammadov’s in that rotten hotel deal in Baku.
Turns out Trump violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and took money from a money laundering operation. The New Yorker has a big article on it. This is nasty stuff.. But Hoffman will go on about Hillary’s emails. What a loser.

I bet this inbred goes ballistic every year during the Disney Gay Days. LOL

Always Republicans, they really must have damaged brains!

Klingenschmitt! Another Republican nut job from Colorado! He is living proof that the Republican Party can’t abide intelligent people.

Well, Gol———-lleeee, Sar’gent Carter…..I didn’t even know Colonel Klinginschitt was still around…..
dinard38
Isn’t it freaking amazing (well, absurd is a better word) to think that in the 21st century, these idiots still believe in demonic possession.
I always question anyone who is so aggressive in their anti-gay rhetoric. Those are often the closet cases. :-p
Ellie533
I’m trying to figure out the point of mhoffman’s comment. What do Muslims have to do with the rantings and ravings of yet another christian (with a small c) lunatic? If I were to criticize the same christian lunatic for what I’m confident is his opposition to California’s criminalization of “Conversion Therapy”, would Muslims have to figure into that debate as well?
Several African countries have passed draconian laws that are intended to destroy the lives of homosexuals, literally destroy, as in execute. This legislation has been sponsored as part of an “evangelization” effort by American religious extremists. Why doesn’t mhoffman ever mention the African countries and their American backers when he criticizes Muslims? It is after all, the same principal. Sounds pretty stupid to suggest that he even should. It sounds stupid because it is stupid.
We see the same false premise used as a stick to beat their opponents when ever mhoffman’s crowd hears criticism of Don Trump. Almost every time something critical of Trump pops up on Twitter, the Trumpies can be relied upon to chime in with something like, “but what about Obama?” To which the only retort can be, “What about Obama?” Trump supporters seem to assume that those of us in that famously monolithic group known as, “THE LEFT” never did , don’t now, nor ever will criticize President Obama. It’s clear that mhoffman has never watched the “Liberal Biased, Left-Wing Media”. If he had done he’d know that media outlets such as CNN, MSNBC, NYT, and WAPO criticized Obama daily and often unmercifully. Socrates turns in his grave every time he hears these third-grade attempts at rhetoric & debate which falls flat on its face.
