Some 60 people received a Sept. 27 email from North Carolina State Rep. Larry Brown, where he jokingly congratulated House Speaker Joe Hackney on getting an award from the gay group Equality NC Foundation: “I hope all the queers are thrilled to see him. I am sure there will be a couple legislative fruitloops there in the audience.” Brown, currently his in third term, runs unopposed for a fourth.

You know what? Fuck that bigot, I’m so tired of the B.S. that these hillbillys spit out about “well, it’s my religeous belief” sorry, but in that comment, there was nothing religeous. That is the honesty you are seeing, they are bigoted towards gays because they LIKE being bigots and we are one of the few groups that they can still get away with doing it to. Make no mistake, if he thought he could get away with it, he would have sent out a similar e-mail about blacks, hispanics etc… This guy is just a pathetic bigoted old stain.

Would it be referred to as “jokingly congratulated” someone receiving an award from an Hispanic group as “spics” and “wetbacks”.
This is no joke. Believe it or not, this bigot has gay and lesbian constituents he represents.
As a voter, to be held in such contempt by your elected representative is disgusting.

This is why haterosexuals should not be allowed to hold public office. We need a government of gay people, by gay people, and for gay people.
