Is this Bryan Fischer’s most gloriously inane tweet yet?
One day after April Fools, the blighted host of Focal Point Radio has implied that the LGBTQ community “stole the rainbow from God,” which is the “worst example of cultural appropriate ever.”
“It’s his,” he writes. “He invented it. Gen. 9:11-17. Give it back.”
Worst example of cultural appropriation ever: LGBTs stole the rainbow from God. It's his. He invented it. Gen. 9:11-17. Give it back.

Fischer, who calls gay activists “insatiable leeches,” has made a career out of comparing the LGBTQ community to Nazis. (A ludicrous notion debunked in no uncertain terms here).
How about we take this to the next level?

Clearly more obsessed with gay sex than the average gay person, he’s terrified that the military has become overrun by “hypermasculine aggressive homosexuals” and has more rainbows on the brain than your average, dyed-in-wool Judy Garland fanatic, often blathering on about “gay rainbow nazis.”
In short, he’s wholly inadvisable.
Twitter wasted no time in reacting to the tweet:
@BryanJFischer oh no, the loathsome gays, they're hoarding all the light refracted through water vapor in the entire world!!!

When people like him start spouting this kind of crap you know they have run out of intelligent arguments. This guy needs psych evaluation.

They never had any intelligent arguments in the first place.

If that is the case then “Christians” stole the fish symbol ( Ichthys ) from “God” and they stole the cross symbol from Jesus. IF that were true why didn’t he go after Lisa Frank for stealing rainbows for her stickers etc. in the ’80’s? Sad – sick and sad that so many follow him. Why is it that so many people don’t understand the correlation between raging homophobe and latent homosexual?

This guy is nuts. I wonder when Queerty is going to cover the other religious zealots who hate gays. Muslim parents in Berlin are protesting and removing their children from kindergarten because one of the staffers there is gay https://www.rt.com/news/382726-muslim-parents-berlin-preschool/
That story has been published for nearly a week now but isn’t getting reported here
Juanjo
Nutcase mhoffman is all excited about Muslims in Germany. He heard about from his good buddy Putin on his propaganda channel. The one source of news that has also told mhoffman that his buddy, Donald Trump is innocent and misunderstood.
mhoffman953
@Juanjo I’m merely pointing out injustice and hysteria over a gay guy trying to do his job at a school. If you want to defend bigotry and claim it’s propaganda then that’s your business. It’s very telling that when someone points out real hatred toward gay people, you resort to calling me a nutcase because it doesn’t fit your narrative.
Juanjo
No hoffman you aren’t. You are just pulling straw men, red herrings and other logical fallacies out of your posterior and slinging them around in a pathetic attempt to make noise. Much like a three year old who feels rejected.
BTW, re your obsession with Middle Eastern men, why don’t you just go to Paris, get yourself a rent boy and work out your sexual obsessions once and for all.

mhoffman is determined to change the agenda again – you tried this with the same old story in another place a few days ago. The story here is about a completely unhinged, extreme right wing, foaming at the mouth trump lover showing just how far from reality is the world he lives in. It’s an interesting tactic mhoffman – you start of by appearing to side with most of the comments – ‘this guy is nuts’ – but almost immediately twist the story to reflect your own agenda – i.e. another attack on Muslims. I am not saying the story is not true – I am saying that we all know there are Muslims who oppose homosexuality. You are telling us nothing new. You want to shift the focus away from the right wing chrisitians who can actually affect you life in the USA – a kindergarten in Germany affects you not one jot. I say ‘your life’ – based on your claim to be gay, which I am not convinced of based on your postings on this site. Although to be fair, I have come across other gay men who are so self hating that they vote for homophobes, or so racist or Islamophobic that it outweighs all other considerations. No one is going to let you set the agenda my friend. The story here is about your nutty friends.
mhoffman953
@natekerchel When you say “mhoffman is determined to change the agenda again”, I’m not changing whatever agenda you have. I’m merely pointing out hatred toward gays and asking a valid question about when it will be covered on here.
“I am saying that we all know there are Muslims who oppose homosexuality. You are telling us nothing new”
>>>Right wing, Bible thumpers who hate gays isn’t anything new either but it gets reported all the time
“You want to shift the focus away from the right wing chrisitians who can actually affect you life in the USA”
>>>I’m merely pointing out that all zealots should be covered whether they are Christian fanatics or Sharia Law following Muslims in their treatment of gays. The focus should be on all of those groups
“a kindergarten in Germany affects you not one jot”
>>>I could say the same about you regarding happenings in America since you aren’t in America, yet you still comment on these stories, which is your right to do so, just as it’s my right to report on world events. Am I only bound to comment and share information if it’s from my region?
“based on your claim to be gay, which I am not convinced of based on your postings on this site”
>>>I know it’s shocking that gays aren’t a monolithic group that all think the same like zombies. Shocking that there might be people different than you in this world.
“I have come across other gay men who are so…Islamophobic that it outweighs all other considerations”
>>>I’m merely pointing out that Muslims are not friends of gay people. If they were, tell me when the last pride parade was in any Muslim majority nation? What happens in Europe when a pride parade goes through a heavily Muslim neighborhood? What does the law say regarding gays in Muslim majority countries, what punishment do they get for just being gay? If you want to defend the same people who would throw you off a rooftop in their home country, then that’s on you

1. This is not the first time in which a social conservative has said the rainbow belongs to them, ie, God, not the gay rights movement.
2. God is a myth.

” I wonder when Queerty is going to cover the other religious zealots who hate gays. ” ……mhoffman writes.
Those types are already reported on here — http://www.rightwingwatch.org/ You can’t spend much time reading that material without becoming sick that such loveless antagonism towards LGBT’s is possible.
I recently read that one of the other gay hating campaigners said that ‘musicals are homosexual propaganda’. Don’t know what he was getting at. Surprised he didn’t say that gays prefer hot dogs rather than hamburgers because hot dogs more closely resemble a penis. Probably afraid to use the word penis in a public discourse.

When I read the verse I see a bow as in bow and arrow but I guess it’s brief for rainbow.
Yea, I think I have noticed that every time I see a rainbow flag, the rainbow in the sky disappears. Wrap a sensor around his penis and show him gay porn. Then we’ll know the truth.

mhoffman – whether or not I am currently in America has no relevance – I am an American – German-Jewish American to be more specific. The very fact that I am not in America at this time perhaps gives me a perspective you don’t have – reality. I mix with many people from many countries, religious faiths, political beliefs. It would be untrue to say that all of them hate trump – but probably 90% of them do. On a more general point – any visit by trump to any European country would be met with mass demonstrations. Your hero is not welcome in Europe my friend according to opinion polls. But that aside – why do you deny trying to change the agenda to highlight one of your completely unconnected stories to the one under discussion on that page? The story was about an American loony making outrageous childish statements – no connection with a German kindergarten. But you used it to try further your own Islamophobia views. I have no doubt you will dent that – but the evidence is clear.
As for all gay men having one view – yes we all have one view – we dont like or want to be discriminated against or have our civil and human rights attacked. All except for you apparently. You still have not been able to explain why you support an ‘administration’ bent on removing those protections and right so hard won. Your stock reply of ‘all gay men dont think the same’ is not an answer. My point is that no gay men would vote for the removal of their rights and protections – unless they are self-hating of course – very much like low self esteem syndrome.
You never answer any points that you know you have lost – you simply twist words and phrases to alter the meaning, e.g. you still have not addressed the issue of collective responsibility. Why? Because you cannot argue with international law – collective responsibility was first recognised in international law after WW2. It applies to ALL government today – including the ‘government’ in the USA. But again I fall into your trap – of having to prove what I have already proved because you twist meanings and words or simply refuse to acknowledge the truth.
mhoffman953
@natekerchel You’re doing the same thing you accuse me of doing LOL
When you say “whether or not I am currently in America has no relevance”, I agree with you (if you took the time to read my previous post). You are the one who said that I shouldn’t concern myself with something happening in Germany because it has no effect on me.
Then you say, “The story was about an American loony making outrageous childish statements – no connection with a German kindergarten”, that is correct. However, if we’re supposed to ONLY adhere discussion to the topic at hand, why are you bringing up the Trump administration so much in this story when this story has nothing to do with it? I know, I know, you’ll bring up some list about Hitler and tie it in somehow or whatever…yawn
Then you say, “As for all gay men having one view – yes we all have one view – we dont like or want to be discriminated against “. Correct. So why are you afraid to be informed when I present an incident which happened a few days ago regarding a gay man being discriminated against in his workplace? The mere fact that I brought it up seemed to trigger you and you wouldn’t even agree that it’s despicable about what’s happening to that gay man in Berlin. Instead, you’ll attack me for bringing it up.

1Equality – I know what you mean – but I have some kind of inner desire to confront lies and deceit. It is very difficult to discuss or argue logically with someone who persists in twisting your words and refuses to concede proven points. I have a feeling he and I will be head to head for a long time to come. Truth will always win in the end though.

mhofffman – what I said was what was happening in Germany had nothing to do with the story on this site. You took the chance to slide in something that was not connected with the man in question and that was my problem with you. But you twist my words yet again. It is totally outrageous that you suggest I am not interested in a gay man being discriminated against. I spent years working for organisations fighting against such discrimination – wherever it happened. It is sheer hypocrisy for YOU to accuse me of that – given that you are trump lover around here and consistently defend all of his anti-lgbt measures. And don’t bother to ask me what measures – you know exactly what i am talking about. My personal contribution to fighting the bigots over the years has been a pleasure and will never stop. I will not sit back and watch other gay men be marginalise, disrespected, abused, and deprived of their human and civil rights by monsters such as trump. I doubt that you can say the same.
mhoffman953
@natekerchel So essentially your problem with my comment was that you feel its unrelated to the man in this story.
If you don’t think unrelated topics should be brought up in the comments section, why don’t you criticize others who do the same?
For instance in this topic which deals with racism in the gay community according to Brian Sims: https://www.queerty.com/brian-sims-pens-powerful-op-ed-calling-lgbtq-people-less-racist-20170401 .
A commenter named “bookworm”, briefly touched on the topic in his first sentence (as did I when I said Bryan Fischer is nuts), but he then went totally off topic in the next sentence and discussed the Trump administration and counting people on the 2020 census (which has no connection to racism in the LGBT community). You didn’t ask him what that had to do with the topic regarding Brian Sims or racism in the LGBT community. Instead you kept with his topic which was totally unrelated to the man in the story or the topic of the story. My post here, at least kept with the overall issue.
Clearly you don’t like me (not that I care), but you’ll find fault with everything I say. You’ll attack me even when I shed light on a gay man being discriminated against in his workplace by saying you have a problem with me mentioning something unrelated to this specific crazy guy from this story.
I’m not sure why you’re afraid to accept that radical Muslims aren’t friends of gays (or anyone else for that matter – just look at St. Petersburg on the news today or London last month). But I know, you’ll go into this long convoluted story about how you do accept it and I’m twisting your words, but you’ll attack me for the sheer mention of Islam’s treatment of gays instead of verbally denouncing the perpetrators of the crimes.

Bryan, I am proud to be one of those “insatiable leeches” you speak of– a loyal, lifelong ally and advocate for all things LGBT. The six colors of the Rainbow Flag, to me, speak clearly of the values which my LGBT Family all over our planet embraces: the power of the human spirit, respect for nature, artistic endeavors and harmony, sunshine, the importance of healing, and the pure joy of living life. As a licensed therapist who has facilitated thousands of sessions, I know the abuse, bullying, and marginalization my Rainbow Friends have endured. That Flag is a symbol of hope, love, and unity for these souls…and as a member of the LGBT Family, I love it too. In fact, I wrote a song about it…just for them. https://youtu.be/1t1Wz0tWc5s … because I’m one of those insatiable leeches who also writes songs. You certainly have a right to your opinions, Bryan…but rainbows belong to all of us.
natekerchel
mhoffman – my final word on this issue – I neither like nor dislike you . I dont know you. It is irrelevant to me whether or not you care about what I think of you. I do not attack you personally, I attack your constant support of this ‘administration’ and the way you DO twist people’s words – not just mine. If you look back you will see many people accuse you of the same thing. I have never ever written words of support for any person who has carried out acts of terrorism or for those who attack lgbt people. That is again a twist you have persisted in trying to besmirch me with. Until now I thought you had some integrity and that you genuinely believed in the things you support and promote on this site – however vile they might be to the majority of us. But in fact you are actually just a true trump troll – a hypocrite of the first order. You are allegedly gay yet support anti-gay moves by trump and others, and that’s why you are a hypocrite. It is you and your friends who are in the minority on this site – and always will be.

Guys, can we please stop bickering amongst ourselves about which organized religion is the most dangerous to gays?
As tolerance and support for the LGBT community grows, American Christians have seemingly embraced a new tactic. Realizing the indefensibility of their past bigotry and crimes against us, they try to deflect attention away from themselves by saying Muslims are much worse.
Their message is basically this; “you gays ought to leave us Christians alone, and be directing your efforts against Muslims. They’re throwing gay men off buildings, but at least we Christians are letting you live.”
Most bigotry of any kind has one religion or another at the root of it, and all extremism is dangerous. It makes more sense to focus on the more immediate threat, which in the US, is undeniably evangelical Christians. Let’s not help them by fighting each other.
