It’s a scary world out there for West Virginia House of Delegates member Eric Porterfield, one that is being overrun by LGBTQ terrorists who are taking their cues from the KKK.
“The LGBTQ [sic] is a modern day version of the Ku Klux Klan,” Porterfield told Charleston Gazette-Mail on Friday, “without wearing hoods with their antics of hate.”
“I am terrified of these people! They are opponents of freedom!”
The 44-year-old MAGA Republican went on to label the LGBTQ community a “terrorist group” and “brutal monsters”. He also claimed he was being “persecuted” by them by way of mean Facebook messages and nasty phone calls because of homophobic remarks he made last Wednesday.
Last night and today, members of the LGBTQ have exercised hate crimes and threatened my safety. We have reported this to the Capitol Police in Charleston and I would like all of my friends to pray for the… https://t.co/a1lIhpGCkw

It all started when Porterfield, who is legally blind, used the word “f*ggot” in House session while railing against an anti-LGBTQ discrimination bill which he described as “bigoted” and “discriminatory” and argued would would somehow hurt “gays.”
“The LGBT is the most socialist group in this country!” he warned colleagues. “They do not protect gays. There are many gays they persecute if they do not line up with their social ideology!”
Later in his tirade, Porterfield, who is also a minister at Blind Faith Ministries, brought up Milo Yiannopoulos’ 2017 speaking tour, during which he used the antigay slur “f*ggot”.
“We cannot allow discriminatory bigots to determine how our citizens are going to live!”
In other Porterfield news, back in December, he used his church’s Facebook page to post a discreet ad seeking a “devoted Christian male” who could work as his personal assistant.
NBD, right? People hire personal assistants all the time. Except that, in addition to being male, this particular personal assistant must also make himself available for “overnight stays.”
Call us crazy, but a raging homophobe who goes out of his way accuse “the LGBT” of being dangerous and disgusting and a threat to humanity seeking a “devoted” male he can pay for “overnight stays” sounds a little, well, gay.
Or maybe he just needs a big strong man to protect him after dark from all those LGBTQ socialists?

Not that he isn’t a rotten person, but it’s possible he’s asking for a male assistant because he’s blind and would rather have a male than a female. He could also require help at night, thus the possible need for overnight stays. If he was looking for something shady, he’d be on Craigslist or something similar, not his church’s Facebook page. I don’t think you’ve made a catch this time.

Queerty – are you really mocking a BLIND completely irrelevant disabled man? Homophobe or not. Get a grip. That’s really gross and only proving his point.
Please knock it off.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Please, like one of these smcubag vile pieces of thit NEVER had a Gay scandal. He is sight impaired but completely mobile
nross0370
…how is he completely irrelevant when he is comparing gays to KKK monsters and trying to make laws against us?
QueerTruth
nross0370
I’m saying HE is irrelevant. Who is he? No one knows. It’s just some random hateful loser. Who cares. There are millions of them.
Juanjo
The completely irrelevant man who is a state legislator? That irrelevant man? Go take your troll ass back to the “Christian” hate group that spawned you. You failed in your mission.
QueerTruth
Juanjo,
Dude, take a pill or something. If you want to come for comments. Please do. But try to make sense. Calling me names proves you have nothing to share and no point whatsoever. But feel free to throw your crap around like a caged animal. It’s hilarious to me.

PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS – Thought that we aimed to behave better than those that attacked us and treat our enemies with common respect. My bad that must’ve been just my generation……please go on acting just as bad as they do showing just as little common sense.
Chrisk
I dunno. Could be another George Rekers luggage boy situation. Actually I take it back. I don’t think he could pay enough for that kind of service unless someone has the fantasy of having sex with sloth from the Goonies.
gymmuscleboy
Two wrongs don’t make a right, Queerty. Take the high road next time.
Kangol
Are you defending this homophobe? Really?
Brian
A blind man asking for help. That’s it.
Don’t call him gay unless you’ve got proof. This case is especially absurd! Why are you so eager to call a homophobe gay?
WindsorOntario
He could be Sarah Sanders’ son. Looks just like her.
justgeo
Who/What is this creature? Nothing even in Star Wars looks as GROSS?
radiooutmike
This gets a callout. He may be an a-hole, but he is blind and needs assistance.
Juanjo
He needs assistance alright. He needs to be locked in a looney bin. He is talking about how he would kill his kids if they were gay and he is a state legislator. He should not be allowed out in public among decent human beings.
crowebobby
Honi soit qui mal y pense, girls. And do we really want him on our team?!
Disgusted
Besides the fact that he’s a vial individual why is he getting a pass for threatening to drown his children if they are gay. This guy isn’t stable and apparently everybody lets him spew hate because he’s blind from spewing hate and got his ass kicked.
Vince
Total dumbass as well. He forgot the ..hate the sin but love the sinner bs. Advocating murder is a no no and just exposed you.
Evji108
Please no more pictures of this man. Creepy and sad
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
Vile, abhorrent, noxious, morbidly obese, piece of thit……
Drown his own children?? I hope he chokes to death on a Twinkie (which am pretty sure would be very fitting….)

Porterfield is telling the truth about us when he says – “The LGBT is the most socialist group in this country!” he warned colleagues. “They do not protect gays. There are many gays they persecute if they do not line up with their social ideology!” – in fact we persecute anyone that does not line up with our social or any other ideology. That’s not supporting homophobia that’s fact, and if anyone were to be angry about that it just means they either don’t understand what it means and will just be angry to go along with the group or they know it’s true……???
kevin57
If you were in my family and you supported some asshole who was attacking me, I would reject you, family or not. If you are with us, you are against us. Jesus said that. And socialist? We do need a little more socialism. Look at what unbridled capitalism has gotten us from the time of Reagan on. Stop defending those who would crucify you, self-hater.
Pii
Aren’t you the guy that blamed the victims of the Toronto serial killer for their own deaths because they were into s\m and therefore mentally ill. All this despite the fact that the majority of them were not into s/m and had been knocked into unconsciousness with a steel pipe and restrained afterwards and then subjected to a slow painful death by repeated and prolonged acts of strangulation. I’d say you lost any credibility after posting those hateful, ill informed and judgemental comments. You still owe the friends and families of those VICTIMS an apology for your disgusting and slanderous bile.
Pii
My apologies ashke113 you were not the author of the comments about the serial killer. I tried to delete my post within the time limi but for some reason it would not allow me to. Mia culpa. I am most truly sorry.
baal61
Baby Hughy’ that thing looks like an extra from Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ inbred’ after birth’ what a poor excuse for breathable air.
Roan
The fact that he’s blind has no bearing here. He posted on Facebook and made no mention of looking for medical professionals or people with medical / home care experience. If he wanted something legit he would be looking for professionals. Not strangers on Facebook. The people defending him because he’s blind can take a hike. He’s a blind homophobe and clearly the homophobia is internalized as well.
dinard38
Wait…….he’s only 44??? No FREAKING WAY!!!! That must be a typo. 64, yes. 44? Hell to the Naw!!!!
