A lot of Americans agree with Ol’ Pooty-Poot. You might think we are oh-so-enlightened, but don’t kid yourselves: all too many of us still hates them some LGBT folks. Haters in and out of government.
For example, here is an evangelical “Christian” pastor who will soon be tried for crimes against humanity. Said crimes being helping to slaughter untold numbers of gay Ugandans. That, dear reader, is some serious hate.
It’s all over the country: Kenny Coochy in Virginia, unconstitutional arrests for being gay around the nation, to name but a very few.
Yes, Russia deserves the condemnation it is receiving for its outlandish anti-gay pogrom. Open all the cans of whoop-ass you can find upon them. But perhaps you should also save a can or two for the many homophobic idiots here at home, too.

What a false construct. Ken Cuccinelli is not Vladimir Putin. One is an asshole at the state level, the other is a world leader with a nuclear arsenal. A lot of Americans may agree with Pootie, but a lot don’t, either. In fact, more than half of Americans come down on the side of Equality. We don’t need any “whoop ass” at home, we just need to keep legalizing and normalizing. Save the finger wagging for that former Soviet douchebag.
Coochy and Pooty are both people in positions of power who want to outlaw homosexuals and homosexuality. And America is still not an equal society.
