Tea Party leader demands class action lawsuit against homosexuality

[alexvdl]

Rick Scarborough of Tea Party Unity and Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality would like to join forces and file a class action lawsuit against homosexuality.

Yes, they really, really want to do that.

“Peter, the whole issue of a class action lawsuit, you and I have talked about this a little bit,” Scarborough says. “I just

Can you bring suit against a pre-existing condition?

“I would love to see it. We always wanted to see one of the kid in high school who was counseled by the official school counselor to just be gay, then he comes down with HIV. But we never really got the client for that.”

wtf r this logic even.

Right? He is like LITERALLY DISAPPOINTED that more gay kids don't get HIV. "That gay kid's still healthy? Aww, bummer, we could've had a lawsuit!"

I also like the way they phrase that 'coming down with' HIV, like it's some kind of airborne thing that you can get just by passively being gay. (Not blaming people who have HIV for their situation or anything, just the way he phrased that feels really misleading to me.)

“Yeah I think that’s great,” LaBarbera responds. “I would love to see it. We always wanted to see one of the kid in high school who was counseled by the official school counselor to just be gay, then he comes down with HIV. But we never really got the client for that.”

You've...always wanted to see high school students get HIV? Or are you saying you want the counselor to get HIV because they talked to a gay kid? No matter the case, WHY WOULD YOU WISH THAT ON SOMEONE??

[thelilyqueen]

I don't think he's wishing HIV on someone - he's hoping to find a person who wants to sue their HS counselor for telling them 'gay is OK' because they then got HIV from gay sex. Wouldn't be any real case if they DID find someone though because there's no causality there. People don't get HIV from gay sex - they get it from unprotected sex with a HIV+ partner, contaminated needles, being born to a HIV+ mother w/o prophylaxis, etc.

Can we sue them for all the unplanned pregnancies, STDs, etc. that result from their resistance to giving teens medically accurate sexual health info?

[nitasee]

Actually, I do think he was wishing HIV on someone. First because they wanted to find someone they could use, and second because, he probably thinks that HIV is should happen to anyone who is gay...righteous judgment in his world view.

I agree this sounds cold evil
