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.
Alphabet People.
I wanna see this.
So..................
Gay Pride is OK....
Hetero Pride is not.....
I find absolutely nothing wrong with what he said because there is nothing wrong with what he said. But the Left thinks heterosexuals should be ashamed.
More and more as in their population is growing or they’re getting more and more perverse?
Now, see, he bravely came out of the closet on his sexual orientation. He should be proud and we should all praise him for having the courage. Or is that only when it’s one of the other 2,857,359 genders?
Constituents are largely LGBT? Largely in this context meaning a majority are ? Really?
Even in homosexual havens such as West Hollywood or The Castro, you aren’t going to see an absolute majority of the population being LGBT peoples.
2% of your constituents are LGBTQWERTY more and more.
Orange County New Jersey? Is majority homosexual?
so much for
“love is love”
and
“celebrate diversity”
eh?
That’s bullshit. I grew up in Orange County, NY. Joe Minuta represents New Windsor. They’re aren’t a whole lot of LBGTXYZ people there.
Guess the recruiting is going well for the sodomites.
I guess this means in America we can no longer be proud to be heterosexual..Local commie media here were going after those who were going to be involved in the “Straight Pride March” in Modesto..commie media called that racist and stuff..If homos want to be “Proud” that is fine, but apparently Im not allowed to be proud to be heterosexual, geez what the hell has happened to my country
Yeah you breeder, get back in that closet...
Go follow him. Numbers speak volumes.
Bob Hope had it right, back when one could make jokes about such things.
Oh, I am relieved, I thought you said it was required....
He said nothing wrong. Gays need to start showing some of that tolerance they’re always demanding to see from others.
Shoulda just posted the “I heart cat” graphic on his Face Book page and the normals, the cat ladies and the lesbians would have loved him.
