BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) -- A smiling Roy Moore stood shoulder to shoulder with his fiercest religious allies.

Flanked by a huge sign for Moore's Senate campaign, one supporter railed against the "LGBT mafia" and "homosexualist gay terrorism." Another warned that "homosexual sodomy" destroys those who participate in it and the nations that allow it. And still another described same-sex marriage as "a mirage" because "it's phony and fake."

Thursday's news conference was designed to send a powerful message to the political world that religious conservatives across America remain committed to Moore, a Christian conservative and former judge whose Alabama Senate campaign has been rocked by mounting allegations of sexual misconduct. The event also revealed an aggressive strain of homophobia rarely seen in mainstream politics - in recent years, at least.

The LGBTQWXYZ bullies don’t like it when people push back.

The Left had the brilliant idea of dividing the country. They were hoping that the whole nation should be dominated in some fashion:

1.8% ruling over the other 98.2%?
13% ruling over the other 87%?

Turns out that the division may go the way they were hoping.

E Pluribus Unum was always a good idea. Too bad they didn’t see it.

An aggressive strain of homophobia?

There is no such thing as homophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear of something. No one is afraid of homosexuals. We’re just disgusted by them.

Good summary of the Obama years. I’ll be swiping that if you don’t mind.

Homosexuality is evil. I doubt we will ever get back to where it is illegal, but it'll be great to have someone in the US Senate that knows and believes it is wrong, shameful, and sinful.

Go Roy Moore! Let's vote Roy Moore on Dec 12th, Alabamians!

[backwoods-engineer]

Not afraid of it, just disgusted by it. It is sinful and harmful to one’s body and mind. Particularly the male-on-male homosexual act, which brings about all sorts of diseases.

Another anti-Trump era exaggeration.

best post this year, and well accurately said.

I stand with Roy Moore!

Fake news.

I think the tide will turn eventually and fags will have to go back into the closet and quit recruiting the young.

[tennmountainman]

No they don’t. Especially the Bull Dykes.

I’ve personally known gay individuals since the late 1970s. Not one of them was militant in their beliefs. When did this all change?

[Arm_Bears]

What—They’re afraid that Christians will stop being forced to bake their cakes?

Hillary addressing a LGBT fundraiser and describing “irredeemable deplorables” without mirrors for the attendees was a bizarre moment in American politics.
