Meet Riaz Patel, The Gay Liberal Muslim Who Is Glenn Beck’s New BFF
The Daily Beast ^ | April 2, 2017 | Lloyd Grove

Glenn Beck, who once opined that marriage equality would lead to social destruction, has changed his mind on LGBT equality. Riaz Patel, his new gay BFF, insists the transformation is sincere.

The unlikely metamorphosis of Glenn Beck from nutty right-wing conspiracy-monger to rational-seeming defender of American democracy—and opponent of all things Donald Trump—has crossed over into a new frontier.

The 53-year-old multimedia firebrand and self-described “catastrophist”—who shocked and possibly alienated his dwindling fan-base three months ago by forming an anti-Trump alliance with lefty satirist Samantha Bee—is these days spending quality time with a Pakistani-born, politically liberal, gay, Muslim television producer.

Glenn Beck said several years ago that he was for gay marriage so that Republicans could have a "big tent party".

I knew I was never going to trust anything from him again. And this was before he was Cheetos-face-boy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He lost his audience long before that. His NeverTrump tantrums and phony swearing-in of Ted Cruz were more than enough for most folks.

“Thought Patel was an Indian name.”

Pakistan was carved out of India, so a lot of commonality exists.

Same here. There is no such thing as a “Gay” Christian or anyone who promotes such a vile, filthy use of the human body and that of others who is capable of having a “Christian Worldview”. It is impossible. They are evil and immoral people only, who will corrupt and destroy civilization.

It is a removal of Virtue and Natural Law from our Justice system which is an oxymoronic thing to do, and completely irrational and unconstitutional.

I know whomever promotes homosexuality is out to destroy our Constituton and Justice System and remove it for a satanic, occult Vice system, like in Ancient Cultures where slavery, sodomy and pederasty and incest and misogyny were all “Normal” and ‘Good”.

You can NEVER remove Virtue from a Just Law in USA and that is what the Marxists are doing, to destroy Virtue in our children to make them into irrational, immoral Marxists who believe Slavery is Freedom, Vice is Virtue and Up is Down.

Creating the irrational concept of “homosexual” “marriage” is to destroy our Language, destroy our Traditions and to destroy Reason in children-—and that is their endgame—to corrupt and control the minds of our children and make biological connections obsolete so human beings can be bought and sold like in slave cultures.

Levin is trying to regain audience numbers from the top down. Beck is trying to regain audience numbers from the bottom up.

It really, really can’t get any better than that, it really can’t...

I worked for a Pakistani many years ago, and was told that Patel was as common there as Smith was here.

Another nail in Beck’s Coffin. He could have done such great things—but he went to the dark side.

“Glenn Beck, who once opined that marriage equality would lead to social destruction, has changed his mind on LGBT equality. “

Why am I not surprised.

This guy is going to go all the way and become the next Arianna Huffington, if not David Brock.

Our local talk radio station, WGAC in Augusta, GA, finally booted Glenn Beck off the air. Thank goodness.

This is LL-Lloyd Grove, a famed Clinton spearcatcher from the impeachment wars.

There was never a news grenade that LL-Lloyd wouldn't smother for Big Bill or Skankles...

“Meet Riaz Patel, The Gay Liberal Muslim...”

Don’t Muslims throw homosexuals off the roofs of buildings?
