Republican Candidate: Gay Couples Are Not ‘Cuddly,’ They Are Drug-Taking ‘Gremlins’
A Republican candidate in South Carolina wrote a Facebook post urging voters not to support Rep James Clyburn (D) who he says,'”OPENLY” supports same sex “marriage”.’ I suppose he means in contrast to secretly supporting equal rights.
Anthony Culler wrote of the “a pestilence that has descended on our society, against our will, by those in the courts and government that do not value the traditional family.”
“Same sex couples that seek to destroy our way of life and the institution of marriage are NOT cute and cuddly but rather (for those of you that are old enough to remember the movie), Gremlins that will only destroy our way of life,” he wrote.
IKR? Don’t we all want to cuddle gay couples?
“These people are bullies and now that they are winning their true and hateful nature is much easier to see and hear,” he wrote.
Culler went on to declare that gays have “a strong tendency for substance abuse,” and urged his readers to avoid the “‘over the top’ and ‘anything goes’ ceremonies or parties that these people revel in.”
“Stand against this and we will reverse it and drive it back into the darkness,” he writes.
The Hill reports:
Culler is not well-liked by the GOP establishment in South Carolina, and has no chance of defeating Clyburn this fall, who represents the last remaining Democratic seat in South Carolina and one of the last remaining deep-blue seats in the South.
But the comments prompted a local libertarian activist, Daniel Encarnacion, to launch a write-in challenge to Culler on the ballot. In an Oct. 16 Facebook post, Encarnacion admits the race is “probably not” winnable for him, but that he hopes to “give voters there a choice to vote for a pro-liberty candidate” who will eliminate the IRS and repeal the Patriot Act, among other things.
He announced his candidacy nationally on Monday, with a release calling on Culler to drop out of the race.
“I cannot sit idly by, and allow Mr. Culler to describe gay men, and women as gremlins. This is the definition of ignorance, and is absolutely reprehensible,” he said. “I hope each, and every Republican within the 6th Congressional District stands with me in saying, Mr. Culler, you do not represent us.”
Why does this Republican feel the urge to “cuddle” gay couples?

You really have to laugh at the complete lack of self awareness these phobic teabaggs present to the public. They rail AGAINST people with denigrating and ugly words and lies while saying “they” are bullies and attacking them. I Just do not get it.

You know what? Not knowing the age of them, or seeing anything uncouth going on, I’m just going to assume that it’s fine.
It’s sort of weird to assume something sinister might be going on just because someone is sleeping.

androgyne anode October 20th, 2014 at 17:32
I’m kind of suspicious of anyone that might see the above as even remotely sexual. It makes me wonder if they’d see a straight couple in that same circumstance the same way.
All I see there is love, and it’s a perfectly innocent picture, even sweet.
Ayn Awnemus October 20th, 2014 at 18:33
You wouldn’t feel like your privacy had been violated if your picture was taken without your knowledge while sleeping in your SO’s arms?
androgyne anode October 20th, 2014 at 18:36
How do you know that happened here?
What leads you suspect that?
Why are you automatically suspicious. I’ve seen thousands upon thousands of pictures of people sleeping floating around the Internet, both adults and children, and it simply wouldn’t occur to me to assume that something sinister was going on, and I suspect the same goes for you.
Examine your assumptions.

You know who else doesn’t value the traditional family?
People who believe in gender equity.
People who question and challenge patriarchy.
People who understand what a toxic institution it is – one you can’t justify without either resorting to mythology or an appeal to tradition fallacy.

For the umpteenth time, someone please explain to me how allowing a person to marry another person of the same gender affects any other person who is not related or friends with the married couple. None of these chicken littles who go into paroxysms whenever the phrase “same sex marriage” is mentioned can answer this.
R.J. Carter October 20th, 2014 at 17:24
It doesn’t. It’s people who believe that a proscription against sin is a mandate to physically stop others from committing it, whatever “it” is. (Said mandate not found anywhere scripturally.)

“I’m an atheist, don’t bless me when I sneeze.”
“I’m a vegan, why are you eating that bologna near me?”
androgyne anode October 20th, 2014 at 17:29
I don’t disagree, but to be clear, the minute someone tries to use their religion to impose some sort of moral dogma on me, I have no problem returning my moral assessment of one’s religion. Once you walk through that door with me, it’s fair game, and I’m the worst kind of anti-Christian – a former missionary.
Larry Schmitt October 20th, 2014 at 17:26
A lot of people don’t believe there is such a thing as sin. And others don’t think the same things are sins that these people do.
R.J. Carter October 20th, 2014 at 17:28
Which is why Christians aren’t charged with eliminating sin or stopping others from committing it. They’re charged only with living their lives trying their best not to do it themselves.

They are afraid gay marriage will give homosexuality legitimacy and promote cultural acceptance. Some people have spent their lives believing its’ deviant behavior and should be discouraged if not outlawed. They think their religion supports their position. They feel acceptance of gay marriage is a defeat in the culture war. The recent victories for equality is making their heads explode. Civil rights did not end racial discrimination and marriage equality will not end gay discrimination. That said, things are getting better.
