Great Moments in Jackassery: Joe the Plumber on Queers

May 4th, 2009

In an interview with Christianity Today, Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher had some choice opinions on homosexuals (emphasis mine):

Q: In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?
A: At a state level, it’s up to them. I don’t want it to be a federal thing. I personally still think it’s wrong. People don’t understand the dictionary—it’s called queer. Queer means strange and unusual. It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that. You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do—what man and woman are for. Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins. I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual. And, I mean, they know where I stand, and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children. But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.

Not a slur? Really? Come on, Joe. You wouldn’t call a black guy the n-word to his face, would you? Run for your lives, kids, QUEERS!

Excuse me, your myopic and ignorant worldview is showing, jackass.
