MSNBC host Joy Reid recently apologized for her anti-LGBT
blog posts. To augment and buttress her public contrition, she invited
LGBT-positive guests on her Saturday, April 28th radio program.
One of
those guests was activist Brandon Wolf. Mr. Wolf informed Reid and her audience
that “homophobic psychopaths” are “running the United States government today.”
He also asserted that should Vice-President Mike Pence ever become President
Mike Pence, he would put “gay people” in “concentration camps.” Here is Brandon
crying wolf:
“If Mike Pence, God bless him, ended up in the White House, sitting behind that
desk in the Oval Office, he would have us all in concentration camps hoping to
pray away the gay. That’s what we’re actually up against.”
Actually,
it’s not.
It’s what those of us who don’t believe in gay marriage and all-gender bathrooms and locker
rooms are up against. Conservatives are mocked, blocked, demonetized or banned
outright by the giant social media gate keepers. They are routinely prevented
from speaking on campuses across the nation, the victims of endless vitriol
from “comedians” and entertainers, and singled out for baseless retribution by government
agencies like the IRS. The mainstream media bashes those who don’t cotton to
the “social justice warrior’s” every demand and whim, and some of us are even physically assaulted for having the
temerity to, say, wear a hat stating, “Make America Great Again.” Schools
indoctrinate our youngsters in the cult of “LGBT Pride” at ever younger ages. The
rest of us have to call those obviously male or female “they” or “zir” or
whatever else is in vogue at the moment, or risk being reprimanded or fined. Yet,
you get to call us names. And you also
get to prance around in special parades, in some cases genitalia bared for all
to see, touting that “Pride,” while others give you a pass or applaud your
every move.
No, America and Mike Pence aren’t
going to put you in concentration camps. Stating something so stupendously
asinine only hurts your case…if that’s even possible here in the U.S., Mr. Wolf.
Hitler did put people in
concentration camps. Radical Islamists do
stone gays to death. President Trump doesn’t and won’t and would consider the
idea sick and absurd. So would a President Pence, you unprecedented fool.
Wolf tepidly tried to walk back his
preposterous remarks the next day, tweeting: “For the record, I
meant to say ‘conversion’ camps. But if you ask survivors of conversion therapy
about their experiences...I’m not sure how far off I was.” He
added, “Also, it’s Sunday morning and Mike Pence
is still a homophobe.”
Perhaps Joy Reid experienced an
abbreviated version of “conversion camp.”
Who’s afraid of the
Brandon Wolfs?
We all should be.
