Tony Perkins, president of the anti-LGBTQ hate group Family Research Council and recent appointee to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, compared tolerating transgender people to allowing someone to jump off a building to their death.
On yesterday’s edition of “Washington Watch,” Perkins fielded a call from a listener who compared identifying as a transgender person to identifying as a cat. Perkins thanked the caller for making that point before offering his own analogy aimed at delegitimizing transgender people, similar to the way anti-equality conservatives in the 2000s equated same-sex marriage with bestiality.
This fool is an evil, evil person...another fine example of how religion rots reason!
My first thought was how could Tony Perkins the actor have said something so gross, until i looked him up to read that he died in 1992 of Aids related Pneumonia, something I also did not know. But this man is a typical Trump appointee, a bigot heading the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. How sick and ironic is that?
The day will come when "people" like this are filed away in that closet of shame where memories of people who equated black people with gorillas called gypsies sub humans reside alone and are referenced only as a warning from history.
I'm just shaking my head.... There are no words.
I’d allow Perkins to jump off a building. Or any other structure, for that matter. His opinion currently means squat outside his own circles but, if Pence were given a promotion, I could see Perkins or Dobson becoming VP. Therefore, I’m praying he jumps soon.
