Miss. Anchor Says He's Sick Of LGBT News, Tells Activists To Go On 'Gaycation'
Talking Points Memo ^ | MARCH 27, 2014 | CAITLIN MACNEAL

Mississippi news station WLOX-TV anchor Dave Elliott on Thursday said that there has been too much coverage of LGBT issues in the news recently, according to Romanesko.

"I'm all for the LGBT community's ongoing fight for equality. I support their fight in every way. But, it seems they've been in the news too much lately. Maybe they should take a short break. Go on gaycation,.. [sic] just for the weekend. Enjoy yourselves!" Elliott wrote on his Facebook page, according to a screenshot published by Romanesko.

WLOX-TV condemned Elliott's comments on the station's Facebook page.

"We are not happy at all with the post or any imagined "free publicity." Dave made this post initially on his personal Facebook page," the station wrote.

"[O]ur station is committed to covering news that happens in our community, and issues important to our viewers - that includes the LGBT community," the station said in an additional comment on its Facebook page.

It isn’t even about “Gay Marriage.” It’s about being as wild as possible. That’s why they have to flame, flame, flame.

The devil has ‘em by the je ne sais quoi.

The guy who writes the comic book has had at least two gay (male) couples in the comic. He had a character called Jesus (a nickname based on his long hair, and not pronounced “Haysoos”) revealed as gay, and a Christian reader took offense. He said the usual tripe about, “You’re on the wrong side of history,” and that it wasn’t a swipe at Christians, because being gay is perfectly normal and no different than being dyslexic or left-handed.

BTW, the creator is a devout atheist. He has written a couple of things directly mocking and attacking Christians.

But the fact of the matter is; libertarians are as much to blame for the sorry state of affairs we now face as the democrats.

Horse hockey!

There is only one group who could confer acceptance of homosexuals in the face of widespread cultural antipathy: straight women.
