‘Flaming Homosexuals Wearing Stilettos’ Will Apply For Jobs In Christian Bookstores If ENDA Passes

[SpartanDem]

Bryan Fischer yesterday on his radio program threatened that “flaming homosexuals… wearing stilettos, a dress and dangly earrings” would apply for jobs in Christian bookstores if ENDA passes into law. Fischer, the public face of the certified anti-gay hate group, American Family Association, claimed “the homosexual lobby” would purposely target religious businesses, including “Christian bookstores,” if the Employment Non-Discrimination Act were passed by Congress and signed into law.

Claiming “ENDA would represent the return of Jim Crow laws” in a blog post accompanying his radio rant, Fischer ludicrously rips former GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan:
Ryan today reiterated his support for ENDA, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

This is a horrible bill for a social conservative to support since it would mean the absolute end of religious liberty and freedom of association in the marketplace. It would, in other words, gut the First Amendment. It’s shameful for Ryan, who also voted for this Constitution-shredding bill in 2007, to be so blissfully and blindly unaware of the consequences of this legislation.

For Fischer I'm thinking this is less of a dreaded prediction and more of a hopeful wish.

[snot]

1. I certainly hope so!

[MADem]

76. Ha--my first thought as well! nt

[Lex]

2. Christian fantasies

sure are interesting.

[sibelian]

3. Bizarre people.

It must be like living in a cartoon.

[valerief]

37. Bwahahaha! Absolutely.

[leveymg]

4. That sounds like a hoot.

[Buzz Clik]

5. Hiring a flaming homosexual wearing stilettos would be good for business.

[HappyMe]

6. squeee!

Throw in some of the lovelies from RuPaul's Drag Race too!

[oldhippydude]

27. no shiit

along with a line of Christian mingle sex toys.... maybe an anatomically correct blow up doll, Virgin Mary

[csziggy]

73. I'd be more likely to shop at a Christian bookstore if so!

Normally I wouldn't go in a "Christian" bookstore, but if one hired a flaming homosexual wearing stilettos, I might since it would show a more open mind than any of the rest of their ilk.

[MineralMan]

7. The things those folks worry about...

Sometimes, a guy has to wonder if they're serious or if it's all a big long-form joke.

[Mrs. Overall]

8. Tammy Faye Lives!

[pangaia]

59. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Turn that off, man !!!!

[backscatter712]

9. Y'know, Fischer, that's a good idea!

[Rex]

10. Why? Why is he so convinced of this?

Someone up thread said it...being Bryan Fischer is like living a cartoon life...so devoid of any reality it is sad.

[MineralMan]

12. He has an overactive imagination, I suspect.

Weird folks.

[Rex]

15. I agree, his description is a little to detailed for

me to think it came off the top of his head.

[Recursion]

11. The vast majority of cross dressing males are heterosexual

I don't know what's so hard for people to grasp about that.

That said, the idea sounds fabulous to me.

[LiberalElite]

42. A former mayor of NYC for example:

[Aerows]

13. Well, I'm a flaming homosexual that wears high heels

And nice dresses and suits. I just happen to be a femme. They needn't worry that I'll work at a Christian bookstore though. I'd more than likely be running their datacenter if they had one, which they likely don't.

[dixiegrrrrl]

50. Interesting that only Male "homosexuals" panic the conservative men, don'tcha think?

[Helen Reddy]

57. lol +1

You sound like my type of gal.

[w8liftinglady]

71. LOL...I was thinking the same thing.

Granted,my color scheme is pretty bland,but I DO wear heels and jewelry.

[Zorra]

14. It would be awesome to live in a society where male self-expression was not so rigidly

controlled (and legislated) by idiotic, hateful, sexually repressed authoritarian religious freaks.

[Rex]

16. +1

.

[Aerows]

17. Indeed it would be

It's bad enough for women that don't want to live within the hetero normative ideal of what a woman should look like. I can't imagine how bad it is for men.

[pangaia]

60. I couldn't agree more..

[tjwash]

18. Now we know what Bryan Fischer thinks about in the middle of the night when all is dark and quiet.

[Aerows]

19. Gorgeously dressed men in heels

That sounds like quite a lot for him to think of in the dark and quiet, when he can admit it to himself

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

22. Now we know what Bryan Fischer DOES during the night!

[hughee99]

20. Well, if these bookstores are required to provide contraceptives

as part of their medical insurance, it's a win-win.

[MineralMan]

21. Why would ANYBODY apply for a job in a Christian Bookstore?

It makes no sense. I went inside one once. Why would anyone want to go there daily?

[OldDem2012]

30. I can see it if you have bills to pay and that was the only job you could get....

...but it would have to be even harder if you're gay and had to work in those places.

[white_wolf]

64. I know right? You can smell the bigotry and oppression in the air. n/t

[Vogon_Glory]

23. Here Comes The Church Lady!!! n/t

[Marrah_G]

24. Well, working in a christian bookstore IS a dream job !

Especially for “flaming homosexuals… wearing stilettos, a dress and dangly earrings”... I mean of COURSE they will all be applying for job there.

[Spider Jerusalem]

25. Mr Fischer clearly hasn't met any gay people

drag queens are a pretty small subculture and drag isn't really a sexual thing as such. Most transvestites are straight men.

[Aerows]

45. Not to mention

that plenty of homosexuals wear heels and skirts and we just happen to be lesbians. There are just as many feminine lesbians as there are masculine gay men walking around.

Not that any of us think of working in a Christian bookstore as a dream job.

[Spider Jerusalem]

47. That occurred to me also, yes

(and I would hazard that there are a lot more femme lesbians than drag queens, and that non-drag gay male transvestism is exceedingly rare in my experience; transgender people will "crossdress", but that's something else again).

[pangaia]

61. God, man now I am really getting confused.

[arcane1]

26. Flaming Homosexuals Wearing Stilettos was a great band before they got too famous

[oldhippydude]

32. i paarticulaly liked thier pink album..

[Mopar151]

36. Are you talking about the Violent Femmes?

short intro:

[xchrom]

28. imagine the Possibility of all that Fabulosity...

[MrScorpio]

29. "We're here for the cashier position."

[Butterbean]

53. Heck yeah. I'd shop there. Looks like a fun place.

[Odin2005]

31. These idiots are so stupid they don't know the difference between...

...Homosexuality and Transgenderism?

[libodem]

43. My first gay best friend

Was 17 in 1973. I was 18. He was the cutest 'girl' ever. He was boy crazy and I liked boys, too. We had a lot in common. My boyfriend was cool with him. He had wild and crazy stories about his adventures. I never had a clue and was so glad he shared his tales. It made me much more aware. He told me he had known since he was 3 that men sparked his interest. I ascribed to the born this way idea, the minute I heard it. I just knew it was not some moral failing. He was so like a woman in a man's body. But he could transform into a cute girl, much better than I could. He was shorter, thinner, had smaller feet and better hair.

Wonder where he is these days?

[libodem]

33. Did we not have a flame fest

In meta over the word 'flaming'? Someone or more than one thought it a 'dirty' word. Is 'flaming' inherently homophobic?

[Flashmann]

34. I'm curious why any one would think

That persons,of the type that would be offended by that laughable possiblity,would be in a bookstore to begin with.....What could possibly be in such an establishment that might remotely interest them?....

[Chan790]

35. Two of the most-devout well-heeled and intellectual Christian scholars I know...

fit that description from dipshit Fischer.

Either one of them would be a welcome addition to any Christian bookstore that was looking for actual Christian scholars and theologians to staff...probably the sorts of Christian bookstores that Bryan Fischer would never set foot in though, not because they had LBGTQ Christians on staff, but because he'd feel intellectually out-of-his-league among actual Christian academics.

[Cirque du So-What]

38. As fabulous as that would be

I am concerned for the health of ANYone who wears stilettos: problems including - but not limited to - bunions, hammer toes, nerve damage, bone death, stress fractures and ankle sprains.

[Shivering Jemmy]

55. You needn't be concerned

For most people who wear stilettos. They know the risks.

[Cirque du So-What]

67. Still

a helluva price to pay for fashion.

[Initech]

39. "You know me Marge, I like my TV loud my beer cold and my homosexuals fah-laming!!!" - Homer Simpson

Is Bryan Fischer really that much of a crazy asshole? I say yes.

[Turbineguy]

40. Really?

I might start shopping there in that case.

[undeterred]

41. Why would anyone want to wear stilettos to work?

[kestrel91316]

44. "ZOMG, we won't be allowed to worship Jeebus anymore if we have to stop discriminating

against teh gay!!!!"

Yeah. That follows. Awesome thinking processes these fundie fascists have.......

[Politicalboi]

46. I would NEVER wear a dress

While applying for a job at a religious bookstore. And I'm sure they have rules that may want women to wear dresses or burka's.

[TlalocW]

48. It says something about the world he believes in

That he thinks
1. Crossdresser = gay male (that's what he's most worried about)
2. There are just armies of cross-dressers out there who would jump at a chance to work in a Christian bookstore since they would be dealing with
a. An unfriendly workplace
b. In many cases, taking a worse job than what they currently have

This man must live in constant fear about the hordes of homos out there that, why greatly less in number than heterosexuals, will somehow infiltrate and come to control and dominate every part of society, no matter how minute.

TlalocW

[LeftInTX]

49. They must have seen Sushi on TeeVee

[JI7]

51. GOOD

why should they be discriminated against ?

[Skittles]

52. those homosexuals better NOT have better looking legs than do I

or I WILL BE KICKING SOME FLAMING ASS

[RKP5637]

54. Like who the F in their right mind would even want to be near these disciples of hell. n/t

[Autumn]

56. And is there supposed to be a down side to this?

Cause I'm just not seeing one.

[billbailey19448jj]

58. What a sad pathetic little man Fischer is

"Flaming Homosexuals Wearing Stilettos". Where does this idiot get these kind of ideas from? I'm willing to bet that Fischer is a closet case.

[stumpremover462]

62. Sounds like fun

Then they will really know what rainbows are about.

[davidn3600]

63. Someone might want to let Fischer know that the vast majority of cross-dressers are heterosexual

The man doesn't appear to be very educated on this issue.

[Panasonic]

65. A perfect job for this person if he was still alive.

[lunasun]

75. Well her name would be perfect for the job !!!

Definition of DIVINE
1
a : of, relating to, or proceeding directly from God

I imagine if she was alive and if they didnt hire her she would lick all their books and knicj knacks in revenge

[Panasonic]

66. I actually wonder if he's been with one or knows one.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that Fischer is dabbling with meth and cross-dressers.

[teenagebambam]

68. I can name three gay men off the top of my head

that already work in Christian bookstores. One is a manager. Like homosexuals the world over, they just trudge in and do their fucking jobs, like every other schlub in the world.

[Initech]

69. Bryan Fischer is what you'd get if you put....

Rush Limbaugh, Rick Warren, Homer Simpson, Randy Marsh from South Park, and the Coast To Coast AM guy in a blender.

[pinto]

70. Stilettos before 5 PM?...doubt it.

[cecilfirefox]

72. Conservative locker room fantasies. I remember throwing that zinger out a city commission meeting

once.

[agentS]

74. So what if they were homosexuals, Mr. Fischer?

Since when does orientation matter when in comes to ability?
It's a bookstore, not a church.

[Stargleamer]

77. "A Flaming Homosexual, wearing a dress, dangling earrings and stilletos"?

This atheist would be very tempted to go into such a bookstore!!

It might improve sales at these otherwise quite staid places.

[hatrack]

78. I think Fischer is worried about his lame fashion sense being revealed as total FAIL

Doesn't matter if George Zimmer guarantees it, Bryan, it's still a $200 suit and it still sucks.

And if that's the best you can do with conservative male daily wear, you just plain haven't a chance when drag night rolls around. Sorry, sweetie . . .

[Kalidurga]

79. Conservatives are just comic relief now.

They rarely say anything of substance. When they open their mouth's people quietly move away from them or loudly point out the horrible things they say. I guess they should just keep talking. Soon we will all know who to avoid.

[Warren DeMontague]

80. I'm seeing a performance art project in this.

Be great if this actually happened. A lot.

[BainsBane]

81. If they can work in stilettos, hire them fast

That takes skill I'll never acquire.
