Is President Barrack Obama secretly gay and in the closet? Well, as suggested by Fox News contributor Todd Starnes, he must be; following comments the president made in support of LGBT athletes at a press conference last Friday. Think Progress reports.
After processing Obama’s comments, Starnes, who by his own admission on his Twitter account "occupies the far right side of the Fox News Corner of the Word," came to the conclusion that the president must be gay for supporting LGBT rights.
"It sounds like the president is suggesting a litmus test for membership on the U.S. Olympic team," Starnes said. "The president also suggested that Olympic teams without gay or lesbian athletes are somehow weaker than heterosexual athletic teams. Why can’t President Obama support all of our Olympic athletes - regardless of who they choose to love, regardless of their sexual orientation?"
At Friday’s press conference, Obama was asked if he supports the boycott against the Winter Olympics in Sochi over Russia’s controversial "homosexual propaganda" law, which attempts to silence the country’s LGBT community, On Top Magazine reports. The president said he does "not think it’s appropriate to boycott the Olympics."
"Nobody is more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and -lesbian legislation that you’ve been seeing in Russia," Obama said. "But as I said just this week, I’ve spoken out against that not just with respect to Russia but a number of other countries where we continue to do work with them but we have a strong disagreement on this issue."
Starnes also went on a Twitter rant against the president, accusing him of discriminating against straight athletes and said that Obama may be gay.
"Obama: ’Nobody’s more offended than me by some of the anti-gay and lesbian legislation.’ What are you trying to say, sir," he tweeted. "I just don’t understand why President Obama must judge our Olympic athletes by who they love."
"Why not support athletes regardless of their sexual orientation, Mr. President?"" Starnes added. "Did Obama just announce a litmus test for being a member of the US Olympic team?"
According to the New Civil Rights Movement, Starnes isn’t shy of spewing anti-gay rhetoric. Earlier this year, he suggested that marriage equality would lead to bestiality and an increase of STDs.
He also lashed out against NBA’s Jason Collins’ coming out as he tweeted, "The NBA is turning into GLEE," and "Have any professional athletes announced they are heterosexual today?" The journalist also called a transgender woman a "burley man wearing a dress" and strongly opposed the Supreme Court’s decision on the Defense of Marriage Act, tweeting, "Supreme Court overrules God," and "Won’t be long before they outlaw the Bible as hate speech."
More recently, Starnes claimed that Facebook temporally banned him for his conservative views.
"I’m about as politically incorrect as you can get," Starnes wrote on his Facebook page. "I’m wearing an NRA ball cap, eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich, reading a Paula Deen cookbook and sipping a 20-ounce sweet tea while sitting in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair with the Gather Vocal Band singing ’Jesus Saves’ on the stereo and a Gideon’s Bible in my pocket. Yes sir, I’m politically incorrect and happy as a June bug."
He claims his post was deleted, his account frozen for 12 hours and Facebook admins sent him a message allegedly saying, "We removed this from Facebook because it violates our Community Standards. So you’re temporarily blocked from using this feature," Starnes said.
"I suspect had I been reading Saul Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals, wearing a Planned Parenthood ball cap, smoking a joint, and sporting butt-less leather chaps," he said. "Facebook would’ve left me alone. It’s really sad that Facebook objects to people who share traditional American values. And quite frankly, any community that doesn’t allow sweet tea and the Bible violates my personal standards."
I find your naivete ingratiating. It amuses me.
What makes you believe that a country that proved itself during the last two presidential elections to be nothing more than a land mass populated by moochers, cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be “redistributed” to them in exchange for their votes is "worth saving"? The America you want to save no longer exists.
We live in interesting times. I want to stick around, keep fighting, and try to help mold whatever rises from the ashes of the former "America". Plus, I hope to do whatever I can to deny the scumbags at least some comfort in their victory. Meanwhile, I will also hunker down, arm myself, hide what I have from the scumbag government and its parasitic hordes, and take care of my family. I will also continue having myself a blast! There's no point being down in the mouth about this stuff.

By the way, you used to ping me to (American Spectator) George Neumayr columns. Whatever happened to that guy? He was great.
Where is the advertised quote where he says that Obama must be gay?
Did you mean “anymore” ?
Don’t know if he’s gay - I suspect he is. But I do know he’s nothing but
a lazy, lying, piece of shit.
What ever happened to choice #3 — bisexual — with a strong male preference. My guess is O’Bammy swings both ways, but prefers poofters. After all, someone had to knock-up Moochie twice, didn’t they? [Of course, she could have had a boyfriend or anonymous sperm donor that did it — if Barry could only perform with guys.] I guess we’ll have to wait until Barry’s boy toy Reggie Love writes his “tell all” book.
They(FB) suppress links to Freerepublic I can tell you!
Oh please. Liberals NEVER insult anyone. That must be why they win elections so often.
Reagan didn't. It's sad no one on the right looks to his example now.
Have you seen this? Came out yesterday. A woman, claiming to have known him in high school, says he was a cocaine-using gay hustler then.

Have to give the author of this article credit for an excellent Marxist deconstruction (complete misrepresentation) of what Starnes was trying to get at.
Well, I just thought since it was new, maybe interesting. Tried googling various keywords. Main thing is whether Mia Marie Pope is believable. Some think she’s just repeating “birther” stories, or stories that have already come out. Apparently, it was previously reported that he supposedly liked older white guys. So, I dunno.
Did you get a chance to go to that link?
Yeah. Interesting that the English paper already ran an Obama’s gay story. Plus, that pic of Obama & his roommate: why are they sitting like a couple? And Love (i think), a ballet dancer? Gimme a break! Plus, someone pointed out the press knew all about JFK’s screwing around, so I presume the press already knows he’s gay. And the Newsweek mag declaring Obama the first gay prez, written by an out gay writer? My G-d, I can’t believe...well, it’s been talked about. When will it be declared?
It's not an orientation.
It's a lifstyle choice!!!!!!!!
Political Correctness is fascism with a smile.
