Spectral lump of excrement Mat Staver claims first responders at the Pulse nightclub massacre experienced severe trauma because they had to “get tested for AIDS-related conditions.”

“As tragic as it is,” says the founding member of antigay hate group Liberty Counsel, “some of these officers have no doubt gone through trauma as well because they were going through the Pulse nightclub, it was blood everywhere and, you know, they’re having to get tested for AIDS-related conditions because they’re literally walking in pools of blood.”

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.
This is in fact rather tame and procedural rhetoric for Staver, who in the past has compared homosexuals to Nazis and suggested that gay people have “satanic forces.” Frankly, it’s to be expected from the same man who gleefully defended Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis in her crusade against same-sex marriage.

first they tried to say you could get aids by sitting on a toilet seat. now this douche wants to infer you can get aids by walking in a victim’s blood. first of all, i’m assuming they had shoes on. hopefully our emergency personnel aren’t as stupid as he makes them sound. the counseling i’m sure many of them went to was because of the unprecedented carnage they witnessed and not because of the sexual orientation of the victims. of course, that would probably be the first question he’d ask, ‘are any of them gay?’ before he’d turn around and refuse to do his job. i think we’re all grateful he’s not in that profession. i, for one, feel much more confident.

Dufus Matt Staver should be taught that the Rolling Stones magazine explained HIV came from a Straight, Heterosexual man, who caught it from a monkey that had SIV, (S for Simeon), and eventually made it to the gay men because of the popularity of sex between men.

That’s total BS ALL first responders police and fire and of course EMS ( I was a paramedic years ago part time ) know about BBPs Part of in-service yearly continuing education Its part of required training for them We even have it here at my shop for every one it is a OSHA mandate along with CPR and basic first aid . Were do these people get this false info ?? Plus If I remember HIV can only live out side the body in blood for 12 minuets ??

It is truly sad that people, in this day and time and in his position, are so ignorant and uneducated about homosexuality, AIDS, transgender…..Excuse me….There are more straights with AIDS than gays. And if Staver was knowledgeable regarding the AIDS issue, he might not have sounded like an idiot. It really annoys me when people speak on a subject but are totally ignorant about it. They are only showing just how stupid they are. Sad. Just sad.

He is not stupid nor uneducated.
He has a stated agenda of demonizing gays and he is speaking to his base and others leaning his way.
There is no truth or fairness in war.
The quicker those being attacked understand the game, the better they can defend themselves.

How are these people allowed to get away with making these ill informed inflammatory statements? If this had truly been a real concern expressed by first responders on mass we would have heard about it in the press before now. So who are the first responders he has been speaking with who have expressed this concern? No one I’ll bet.
I tried to do a search on this and the only references that came up about Pulse first responders having concerns about HIV were in relation to this fools statement. Nowhere else has there been any report of this being a true concern for anybody.

Such a weasel with his little weasel words.
Skip forward to about 1:10 in the clip.
Notice how he says the “…some of the officers, no doubt, have gone thru trauma…”
So with the addition of that “no doubt” this is all purely speculative.
If he wasn’t such a liar, he’d actually quote how many officers and under what circumstances and timeframe have complained of trauma.
Like much of the religious right, he just makes sh*t up.
