Sammamish Planning Commissioner and Tanoor owner Wassim Fayed celebrated Pride the best way he knew how: By launching into a homophobic screed at a public meeting.
On June 1, Fayed described queer people as “wealthy,” “well-connected” disease-spreaders who infest and “poison” the minds of children in schools and through movies and television. He invoked his faith-based belief that people choose to be gay against God’s intentions, which is ridiculous. Everyone knows we choose to be gay to please the devil.
“I don’t believe LBGT should be part of the minority,” Fayed said.
Sammamish Mayor Kali Clark said she’d save her thoughts for the dais at tonight’s city council meeting about the issue. The city’s first openly queer council member sent The Stranger a City statement that condemned Fayed’s words while acknowledging his right to free speech.
Fayed owns Tanoor, a Lebanese restaurant with one location in Sammamish and another in Seattle. The Sammamish City Council appointed him to its Planning Commission this year.
Last month, Sammamish commissioners attended a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging training, which Fayed alluded to during his rant.
He starts out slowly
He is not wrong, but was fired and is now subject to a lot of hate.
There is lots of hate in Sammamish and it is all directed at this brave man of faith.
I guess the Rainbow card now trumps the Muslim card ?

Fayed was fired.

Hopefully he has some ‘friends’ in his community that are willing to give ‘their opinion’ on censorship.

Hope he runs for president

King county is not a good place to complain about Fags as they run the place.
Mostly Democrat governments there that sodomizes everyone.
I lived there almost 21 years, 22 years ago, so I know.
Lucky for me I wasn’t stuck with the nutcases they have there now.
He spoke the truth and it will cost him. Homophobia would be an irrational fear of homosexuals. I’m sick of the language being hijacked by these creeps.
Shoot, now I have something to like about a Muslim!
Brave man.
Unless he wanted to get the boot he wasn’t very situationally aware. Besides losing his govt. position it wouldn’t surprise me if his restaurant business goes down the drain too.
Yet what we see every day is an irrational fear normal people who just want to be left alone. He's clearly a white supremacism.
Sit back, relax and enjoy your popcorn and the battle, Islam is about to go to war with the woke left. I'm supervised it took this long the two ideologies are diametrically opposed.
Homophobic. They keep saying that word. I don’t think that word means what they think it means.
Brave man. Kudos to him for standing on his principles.
If he runs for President, I will vote for him over any Republican.
