A leading LGBT advocacy group rescinded its Straight for Equality in Media Award to MSNBC host Joy Reid on Tuesday amid a controversy surrounding newly-unearthed homophobic comments made on a decade-old blog.

Liz Owen, director of communications for PFLAG National, said the group had invited Reid to honor her at their 45th anniversary celebration knowing about some posts that she had already apologized for.

But it said revelations of new posts had caused it to rescind the invitation.

"We appreciated how she stepped up, took ownership, apologized for them, and did better-this is the behavior and approach we ask of any ally," Owens said of the older posts. "However, in light of new information, and the ongoing investigation of that information, we must at this time rescind our award to Ms. Reid."

Reid has said the newly-revealed posts, which include expressions of disgust toward men kissing, are fabricated and the result of hacking.

Not to worry ... rather than standing up to the intolerant GIBLET Left, Reid will soon be apologizing all over herself.

Two lessons here:

First, never accept an ‘award’ from these types of people

Second, never ever apologize.

THESE are the true fascists, and should be treated accordingly.

What a hissy... she could easily have explained that this was about a member of the GOP, and none of the rules apply to them. ////////////////sarc or whatever

Wouldn’t it be classy for Charlie Crist to tweet that he’d rather be known as gay than Democrat....

Kind of ironic the biggest fag-hater is a member in good standing of The Resistance.

If Joy Reid had been conservative, the fake news media would have been screaming their heads off about it for days to come.

The worst racists and homophobes are leftists. Go figure.

Correct. Apologies are turned into bludgeons to beat the apologizer mercilessly, even as she does the demanded penance, and more. Such “apologies” are currency with this perversion crowd, to be used toward political ends.

Never, EVER apologize.

Do you hear me, Dr. Michael Brown?

You should never, ever apologize for stating the Truth. Our evil “Justice” Dept. banned the Truth from the public square and public schools by the 60s so that teaching lies and misinformation is all public schools do today to embed satanism (anti-Christian worldview). For the last 100 years the God is Dead crew is out to destroy Christianity (The House of Rothschild created Bolshevism/communism/Progressivism/Marxism). The worldview embedded into our children through TV/computers, video games, schools is satanism/Lucifereanism where Evil is Good and virtue formation is eliminated for relativism and instant gratification. No ability for the mindset (virtue) which created the Age of Wisdom and free will and individualism (ability to think outside the serf/slave “box” ).

Virtue formation (Classical Christian curricula) is essential for wisdom and philosophy and theology so that children can have free will and have a separate identity from the collective (have individuals Natural Rights from God). (Group-think is ideology where there is no ability to “think” at all).

And people apologize for “thinking” like a Christian and professing the Truth—that sodomy and baby-killing and Socialism (theft) are evil and demonic behaviors. People who have those desires are demonic, anti-human and evil (Satanic). They can NOT be a Christian—have the worldview of a Christian who truly loves one another and is rational (uses reason and logic—being human). That desire to sodomize others or kill your own genetic offspring is diabolical—strips human beings of dignity and meaning and reduces them to a means to an end (Marxism—total removal of God). If you teach young children to have “pride” in sodomizing others—you teach satanism to them—anti-Christian, anti-rational worldview—the only worldview which created the US “Justice” (virtue) System which can ONLY promote “public virtue” (Montesquieu).

Vice will only make you into a Slave for the State-—for the devil....and you will be trapped inside Luciferean doctrine where Evil is Good and God is Dead.
