Columnist in South Molton News, Devon, England: 'Gays will cause collapse of civilization' [View all]

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2014/09/22/devon-newspaper-gays-will-cause-the-collapse-of-civilisation/

A columnist in Devon, England, working under the pseudonym Grave Turner, wrote in an opinion piece that homosexuality would cause the collapse of civilization. The article in the South Molton News prompted many complaints, as well as a response from the editor that the column was published as an aspect of free speech, not out of agreement with the content.

As I sit here, civilization still exists, and gay people still exist, so... there's that.
