VIDEO: Former LGBTQ Talk Show Host Tim Gaskin Recorded in Homophobic, Anti-Mask Rant
August 18, 2020 at 5:40 pm
CAMPBELL (CBS SF) — A man recorded ranting against wearing masks, using homophobic language and exposing himself in a Marshall’s department store in Campbell Monday was identified as Tim Gaskin, a former San Francisco artist, magazine editor and television show host.
Several posters on social media identified the ranter as the 52-year-old Gaskin, a media figure who made a name for himself in San Francisco in the mid-2000s.
The video, shared by San Jose DJ Eddie House, shows Gaskin speaking angrily to a store employee and a man filming him about the store’s mask-wearing requirement during the COVID-19 pandemic. The employee asked him to leave for not wearing a mask, and in turn Gaskin claims that denying him service because he’s not wearing a mask carries a $75,000 fine, which is not true.

WATCH: Man Unleashes Homophobic & Anti-Mask Rant at Marshall’s in California
In the video, Gaskin says: “What’s your dumb f*****g f****t problem? You don’t know the law? This is how stupid you are.” Gaskin tells the employees that they can’t enforce mask-wearing because it’s a “health code violation” to deny him service based on a disability and that it will cost the store $75,000. He also challenges the employee to call the police.
It’s worth noting that the New York Times debunked mask exemption cards that claimed people could be protected under the Americans with Disability Act.
Gaskin continues his offensive rant, also telling the person recording the video: “Dumb Mexican guy here doesn’t know because he doesn’t speak English.” In a subsequent video posted to the thread, Gaskin can be seen opening his pants and possibly exposing himself to the camera in response to a request for his name.
TJX, which owns Marshall’s, has required customers to wear face coverings in their stores since July 30. Moreover, the state of California has had a mask mandate since June 18, requiring people to wear a face-covering “Inside of, or in line to enter, any indoor public space,” among other guidelines.
