“The thing with homosexuality and transgenderism is that it basically boils down to exerting control over your impulses. Like, say you have a hot sister. You fantasize about it, maybe steal her underwear a couple times, but it goes no further than that”—Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro, in a now-deleted tweet, apparently justifying persecution of the queer community by lusting after his sister. Shapiro has a long history of attacks on LGBTQ people.

Interesting how Republican’s minds ALWAYS seem to go to pedophilia, bathroom rape, or incest.

Ben knows…
@dusyk
I’m pretty sure he already molested his sister

Yes pigs like Ben never consider being gay is not about sex. He’s a pervert so in his mind the only reason someone would be gay is to have sex. He has no idea that there can be/often is love involved, just like in a heterosexual relationship. Of course he would look at a sibling and not only think about how hot she is but actually take a pair of his sister’s underwear! Perverts assume everyone thinks and acts as they do. It would never enter his mind that gay people date, move in together, adopt a puppy, go on vacation, eat out with friends (no pun) and do all the normal, boring, mundane things straight couples do. He thinks getting rid of the gay is easy, just don’t act on sexual impulses. HMMM yet that little 10 year old boy that everyone “knew was gay” before he did in the neighborhood – yea well that has nothing what so ever to do with sex so why should it when one is an adult He’s gross! Let’s hope he really does not have a sister.

The utter stupidity of this mental masturbation tweet by Shapiro is right up there with Toobin’s actual wack job. Our media is pathetic.

Cute how the right wing troll tries to deflect attention from a right wing Republican talking about incest, with a reporter who got caught naked on screen during a meeting.
We get it ,you’re desperate to protect bigots like Shapiro.

Yes pigs like Ben will always associate being gay with having sex. He has no idea that there can be /often is love involved, just like in a heterosexual relationship.

And what’s truly scary is the number of likes and retweets this claptrap received before he took it down. So many minds so willing to be deceived.

If my sisters underwear came up missing because I stole it my parents would beat my ass. I don’t think my parents would beat my ass if I was attracted to someone WHO I WASN’T RELATED TO.

Am I the only person who didn’t know that Ben Shapiro ISN’T gay? I recently only learned that he was straight (maybe from another article on this site, actually). I always thought his “shtick” and why he got invited to talk so much on politics was because he is conservative and bordering on homophobic despite him being homosexual himself.

Having sex with my sister, or any other female never entered this gay mans mind.
Just Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!

I’d like to see straight Republicans like him lead by example and show us all how to “exert control” by never having a relationship with someone they like and being single and celibate for the rest of their lives.

I am sure a good seasoned psychotherapist could peel layer, by layer, by layer back on that onion.

Who manages Shapiro’s social media? Because they’re either an idiot or a genius.
Mister P
He seems to kind of think that being gay is like being unable to mind ones manners.
It is most certainly not a control issue. He makes it sound like straight people just have more control. Everyone is gay but some people keep it under control. On second thought, maybe there is something to it
Polaro
He’s actually quite smart, but there is something seriously wrong with the boy. Kind of like Ted Cruz, smart, usually wrong and always repulsive.

Ben Shapiro is a disgusting racist weeble who should be tarred and feathered by polite society; we should pack up this smerf and ship his @ss back to the smerf village his parents kidnapped him from.
Control our impulses?? Just because he hasn’t gotten laid in years, it doesn’t mean we want to follow suit.
inbama
At least we now know why his wife has a dry vagina.
Heywood Jablowme
I’ve seen this guy on TV. Very unlikely he has a “hot” sister!
jonasalden
Most of these comments are basically absurd for absurd’s sake. I think Ben Shapiro is saying, whether you agree with him or not, is that homosexuality and transgenderism are simply repugnant repulses to be shaken off, certainly not to be entertained, considered or championed! I happen to disagree, but the comments above don’t seem to think he’s saying something HE considers serious, however others might feel about his comment.
Hussain-TheCanadian
We know exactly what this mentally disabled smerf meant, its evident in his tweet. He has a history of homophobic statements, you can easily YouTube them.
Cam
Except for the fact that Republicans minds always run to pedophilia and incest.
When somebody shows you who they are, believe them.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people say this is fake…
