Gay Bar Proposed Next to Ground Zero Mosque
By Julie Bolcer

In what could be a serious proposal or a thought exercise, libertarian commentator Greg Gutfeld wants to see if the tolerance expressed by proponents of the Ground Zero mosque extends to welcoming a bar that caters to Islamic gay men next door.

Gutfeld, who supports the controversial project that would include a mosque and cultural center at the site of the 9/11 attacks, said Monday that he had pitched investors his idea for the gay bar, which would serve non-alcoholic drinks to accommodate the Muslim faith. He said he wants to reduce homophobia in the Muslim world while making sure that the mosque builders are not hypocritical.

“Bottom line: I hope that the mosque owners will be as open to the bar, as I am to the new mosque,” writes Gutfeld at The Daily Gut. “After all, the belief driving them to open up their center near Ground Zero, is no different than mine.”

Gutfeld, the host of Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld on Fox News, was rated as an antigay voice in 2008 by GLAAD for his comments about the pregnancy of trans man Thomas Beattie.

1. So, he wants to use gays as his little pawns in his War on Islam?

Great. Just further confirms what a homophobic asshole he is.

2. interesting idea

wonder if those preaching tolerance for the mosque would be for this

if you espouse tolerance for the mosque/community center or whatever it is, shouldn't you support tolerance for gays to have our establishments where we want

3. Thought exercise? More like mental masturbation.

... And since we are talking about a freeper, he will need a tweezer and a magnifying glass.

5. He's a POS...it has noting to do with tolerance, but provocation...and knowing you're a POS

you think any self-repsecting gay man would go there? maybe the pawns at GOPorud, but no one with a brain.

6. I guess it's ONE way to paint a big target on their backs so chrisTians can jump them in the alley.

"Gay Moozlims at a bar NEAR GROUND ZERO! Lets gitterdone!"

What would be funny would be if the chrisTiand fundies accidentally jumped a gang of anti-gay Muslim fundies who happened to be up to the same thing at the same time.

7. It would end up being a very inclusive place for haters of all creeds...

...in a way that would be good, we'd know where they're all hanging out so we can avoid them.

8. They are trying to insult both gays and Muslims obviously but

What would be great is if he did it just to be an asshole and everybody ended up getting along fine.

10. How is he "antigay" for being a douche towards Thomas Beattie? Transphobia =/= homophobia. n/t
