Republican West Virginia delegate Eric Porterfield has come under fire for his recent comments about the LGBTQ community. For those of you who have never heard of him, it's probably all for the best, because the guy is as good as resigned at this point.
Over the past week, Porterfield has made the following comments on multiple occasions:
- "The LGBTQ - not homosexual, but the LGBTQ - is the closest thing to political terrorism in America."
- "The LGBT is the most socialist group in this country. They do not protect gays. There are many gays they persecute if they do not line up with their social ideology."
- "The LGBTQ is a modern day version of the Ku Klux Klan, without wearing hoods with their antics of hate."
- "Let me very clear with my statement, the LGBTQ - not homosexuals - are the modern day version of the Ku Klux Klan."
- "They are socialist in nature, they exercise economic extortion, they terrorize and frighten people such as myself, even with a severe disability, with threats and intimidation."
First off, does Eric Porterfield know what LGBT(Q) stands for? Lesbians Gays Bisexuals Transgenders (and Queers). Homosexuals are included in this initialism. What Porterfield is essentially saying is, "Let me be very clear with my statement; Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgenders, and Queers - not homosexuals - are the modern day version of the Ku Klux Klan." That'd be like him saying, "Darker skinned people like Kevin Hart, Denzel Washington, Michael Jordan, and Beyoncé - not blacks - are tearing apart this country." Either Porterfield doesn't know what LGBT(Q) stands for or he doesn't know the definition of homosexual. Either way, he's an ignoramus.
Not only that, but Mr. Porterfield showcases his stupidity by comparing the LGBT community to the KKK. They're antonymous than synonymous. The KKK tried to quash the rights and livelihoods of blacks, whereas LGBT members and advocates are trying to establish equality for the community. That'd be like Porterfield calling civil rights leaders Nazis. It doesn't make sense on any level, makes him sound like he has an IQ in the single digits, and I honestly feel sorry for any and all people he represents, because an elderly brain-dead donkey in a coma could do a better job than he can.
So congratulations, Eric Porterfield! You have earned my award for Douche of the Week! Perhaps you should resign before racking up a few more of these. Just sayin'...
