An Orange County legislator is under fire for posting a controversial message on Facebook.
Republican Legislator Joseph Minuta posted on Facebook, "Regardless of your orientation I'm proud to be heterosexual. Funny how in my entire life, I never felt like it was important to voice such things before our current social celebrations started."
Constituent Daniel Sloane of New Windsor says it is offensive.
"When someone from public office takes this stance, regardless if that's your personal view or not, you represent your constituents," says Sloane. "Your constituents are largely LGBTQ more and more."
Democratic Legislator Kevindaryán Luján reacted as well, saying, "I believe that my colleague's comments are highly insensitive, particularly in these challenging times. It belittles the struggles of millions of people every day."
Sloane says he hopes Minuta apologizes.
The post has since been taken down.
Minuta would not comment on camera but he told News 12 over the phone that everyone has a voice and that everyone has an equal right to speech. He says he has always been a supporter of anyone who is the underdog.
Their claims, my logic.
Since this was almost a couple months ago...did he ever apologize?
" I can relate to the gay community. Hey I tried it a few times, but decided it was just now who I am........"
Or
" When I was in the Navy they told me: "it's not gay when your underway", well I was at sea quite a bit and now that I am on dry land, I decided to go back to where I started."
Would someone please phone Mr. Sloane to inquire why a bone in the exit zone is a thing to condone?
The radicals never are tolerant. As with most groups most are just trying to live their lives. Its activists who talk like this.
Constituents are largely lgbtq?
Thats the bubble these people live in. They never interact with the people who are largely the constituents. Except to loathe them.
When I was in college I put out a parody poster for Straight Shorts Day as a response to Gay Blue Jeans Day (you can google the history).
If I did this now I would be expelled by the PC police. Nobody is even permitted to joke about such things per Kalifornia diktat.
I can't figure if I should call him a loser or a coward - so I'll settle for both!

Could have been worse. He could have said he was proud to be a Republican.

What I don’t get is this: The gay guy is offended that a straight man is proud to be straight. But if a straight man is offended that a gay guy is proud to be gay, liberals want him burned at the stake as a “hater”. Either they should both be allowed to state their pride in their sexuality or neither should. I have the same problem with who is allowed to say the “n-word”. I was almost fired from my last job for saying either everyone should be able to say it or nobody should. IMO, it’s a matter of fairness.
Normally I do not watch profanity laced comedy but I think I will watch it this weekend before Netflix pulls it.
It is so rare these days for a comedian to attack the sacred cows of the Leftist.
You really have to support those that do.
I rarely ever rate anything on Netflix but I have to try to remember to give it a good rating (if its good)

Isnt amazing that this could be controversial.
The man is saying that he never thought that sexuality was important. He is saying that in a time in our society that we are told to be tolerant of each others differences it has become common to flaunt your differences in public.
I agree with him. I am growing very tired of the mentally ill flaunting their illness in public and demanding that he remain silent while they do it in front of children.
If their illness does not harm others and they are happy to live with their illness it is of no concern of mine. But if their illness impinges on my freedom or harms others (Drag Queen Story Time) I have the duty and obligation to do what I can to stop it.

I would not surprise me that the other pervs do the same.
Well I just watched about 30 minutes of that Sticks and Stones Special.
It is not funny. It is not a comedy routine. Its more of a political commentary. And like all liberals, his comments and ideas of life are wrong.
What a disappointment. I do remember the Chapelle show as being fresh, funny and even hilarious. What you see on stage now is a washed up has been.
Have Daniel Sloane “name” all of Minuta’s “largely LGBTQ” gay constituents to see if his statement is accurate or not.
Fish or cut bait, Sloane. Names, I want names, not fake statements. Who do you think you are, the mainstream media, CNN, MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell?
Incendiary!
Faggots say queer things. Imagine that.
Minuta should instead have replied that he is now under attack by the hateful Gay Gestapo.
