NEW YORK, (AP) -- Samuel Wurzelbacher, the Ohio man hailed as "Joe the Plumber" by Republican John McCain's presidential campaign last year, said he believes gays are "queer" and said he won't allow them near his children. Nevertheless, Wurzelbacher said the decision about whether to allow same-sex couples to marry should be left to states.
"People don't understand the dictionary — it's called queer," Wurzelbacher told Christianity Today in an interview published this week. Queer means strange and unusual. It's not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we're supposed to do — what man and woman are for."
He added, "I've had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn't have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they're people, and they're going to do their thing."
Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights organization based in Washington, dismissed Wurzelbacher's comments.
"It would matter if Joe the Plumber mattered," Solmonese said. "One thing among many things we learned in the 2008 campaign is that he doesn't."

Too bad the story doesn't have legs - gays call gays 'queer'.
For someone “who doesn’t matter” the MSM and other lefty groups sure are working hard to destroy him.
Queers call other queers queer, so what’s the big deal.
I for one am getting tired of the progressives changing the language.
Works for me. They sure as heck aren’t GAY!
They call themselves queers all the time. I call them poofers and lezbos.
They seem strange to me and a little “queer”. How is that an issue?
This is newsworthy, but the illegal background investigations Dems did on him— not so much I guess.
That is so gay.
Homosexuals, relative to Heterosexuals, are certainly more strange than happy. Thus, more queer than gay.
You're welcome.

Well now, that’s just toooo politically incorrect, Joe. It’s off to re-education camp for you.
I think Joe the Plumber uses the term “friends” very loosely.
The homosexuals hijacked a once upon a time innocent word.
Gay used to mean: lighthearted, carefree, happy with life.
Today’s “gays” are perverted, grim, violent, intolerant of those who criticize their lifestyle, and seek to ruin the lives of those who do.
BTW, why are misogynistic homosexuals empowered to judge young women in beauty pageants, and to pass judgement upon those who disagree with them?
“It would matter if Joe the Plumber had enough money to sue him for,” Solmonese said
Heehee.
So do I ....
I am shocked. Not
